Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention is proposed for clothing covers, and particularly relates to clothing covers used in tailors, clothing stores, dry cleaners, and the like.

[Prior Art] Generally, when clothing such as a suit or blazer is purchased at a tailor or clothing store, the purchased clothing is hung on a hanger, placed in a clothing cover, folded in half, and then hung on the hanger. They will make sure you can take it home in good condition.

Conventional garment covers used in such tailors, clothing stores, etc. are usually shown in Figures 9A and 9
It has a form as shown in Figure B.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 opened sloppily, looked bad, and also had some drawbacks, such as dust easily accumulating here.

If you want to solve this problem, you can cover the main body cover 1 upside down so that the folding tongue 2 is on top, but in that case,
When the opening/closing opening 3 is folded into the folded state shown in FIG. 9B,
This had the disadvantage that it was time-consuming because the user had to open the case, remove the main body cover 1, replace the cover so that the folding tongue 2 was facing downward, and then fold it.

Moreover, in the folded state shown in FIG. 9B,
Since the folded state is maintained only by the folding tongue 2, the lower part of the body cover 1 in the folded state bulges out as shown in the figure, making it difficult to carry around.
The drawback was that it looked bad.

Therefore, this invention allows the clothes cover to maintain its shape when placed over clothes hanging on a hanger and cover the clothes in a beautiful manner, and also allows the clothes cover to be folded for carrying. The aim is to provide products that can be folded beautifully.

[Means for Solving the Problems] This invention is a cover for covering clothes hung on a hanger, and includes a tube-shaped main body that can be placed over the clothes hanging on the hanger, The upper end of the main body is closed, and a first opening from which the handle of the hanger can protrude is formed in the center of the closed upper end, and the lower end of the main body is an opening/closing opening, and further, A trifold tongue extending in the width direction of the main body is provided approximately two-thirds of the way from the upper end to the lower end of the main body, and an edge of the trifold tongue is attached to the trifold tongue. a second opening formed in parallel with the main body, the handle of the hanger protruding from the first opening at the center of the upper end of the main body when the three main bodies are folded, through which the handle of the hanger can be inserted; The clothing cover is characterized by having a small opening.

[Operation] First, the main body is folded in two around the tri-folding tongue, and then the main body is folded into three so that the tri-folding tongue faces the upper end of the main body. Then, by inserting the second edge formed in the trifold tongue into the handle of the hanger protruding from the first edge formed in the center of the upper end, the clothes cover becomes a portable trifold state.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a clothes cover 10 according to an embodiment of the invention, and FIG. 2 is a hanger 11.
FIG. 3 is a front view of the garment cover 10 covering the garment 12 that is suspended.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the garment cover 10 includes a tube-shaped main body 9. As shown in FIGS. In this embodiment, the main body 9 is made of polyethylene in order to make the product cheap, but it can also be made of paper or cloth.

Note that if the main body 9 is made of polyethylene, it will be easy to beautifully print, for example, the name of a clothing store or the trademark of a clothing store, etc. on the surface of the main body 9 in multicolor printing. It is also easy to draw beautiful design patterns.

The upper end 13 of the main body 9 is closed, and in the center of the upper end 13, as shown in FIG.
The first edge 14 from which the handle of the hanger 11 can protrude
is formed. The first opening 14 may be a slit-like cut as shown, or a small hole through which the handle of the hanger can be passed.

The lower end 15 of the main body 9 serves as an opening 15a, and a mouth member 1 is formed along the inner periphery of the opening 15a.
9 is provided. In this embodiment, the mouth member 1
9 is two strip-shaped cardboard sheets 19a, 1 with a width W1.
9b, each with an opening/closing opening 1
It is attached to the upper half and lower half of the inner peripheral edge of 5a. As the opening member 19, other than cardboard,
A plastic plate, a metal plate, etc. may also be used. When cardboards 19a and 19b are provided as the opening member 19, the lower end 15 of the main body 9 is formed into a straight line, and in a natural state, the pair of cardboards 19a and 19b overlap to form the opening and closing opening of the lower end 15. 15a closes. Further, when opening the opening/closing opening 15a, as shown in FIG. 1, a pair of cardboard 19a, 19b serving as the opening member 19 curves into an arch shape, and opening/closing opening 15a opens. Therefore, it becomes easy to take things in and out of the main body 9 through the open opening 15a.

A notch 16 is formed at a position a predetermined distance D1 from the lower end 15 of the main body 9 toward the inside (upper end 13 side). The cut 16 is parallel to the lower end 15,
Moreover, it is formed at the center of the main body 9 in the left and right width direction. Since the main body 9 is tube-shaped, the notches 16 form a pair as shown in FIG. 1.

Note that instead of the notch 16, a small hole may be formed. This is because if the handle of the hanger has a small circular cross section, a small hole through which it can be inserted is sufficient.

Here, the relationship between the width W1 and the dimension D1 of the mouth member 19 is selected such that W1<D1. The reason for this is that the mouth member 19 needs to be foldable, as will be described later.

The notch 16 is also formed when the main body 9 is folded in half at approximately the center in the vertical and longitudinal directions, as will be described later.
When the lower end 15 is bent toward the upper end 13,
The hanger can be placed over a first opening 14 formed in the upper end 13, and the handle of the hanger protruding from the first opening 14 can be inserted therethrough.

Note that each of the two ends of the pair of notches 16 includes a circular portion, which is formed to prevent the notches 16 from further tearing to the left and right sides.

The garment cover 10 is provided with a trifold tongue 17, which is one of the features of this embodiment.

The trifold tongue 17 is provided at a position approximately two-thirds from the upper end 13 of the main body 9 in the vertical and longitudinal directions in the left-right width direction of the main body 9. In this example,
The tri-fold tongue 17 is also formed by processing a polyethylene sheet, and has a length L, for example. A strip-shaped cardboard 20 serving as a folding member having a width W2 is built into the tip thereof. Instead of the cardboard 20, the folding member may be formed of a plastic plate or a metal plate.

Further, the tri-folding tongue 17 has a notch 18 formed therein as an example of a second edge at the center in the left-right width direction. The notch 18 is formed a predetermined distance D2 inside from the tip of the trifold tongue 17. The predetermined dimension D2 is selected such that D2<W2. Instead of the notch 18, the second opening may be a small hole through which the handle of the hanger can be inserted.

Note that the folding member 20 is not always necessary and may be omitted in some cases.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the above-mentioned garment cover 10 folded in two, and FIG. 5 is an illustrative view showing the procedure for folding in two. After the garment cover 10 is placed over the garment 12 hung on the hanger 11 as shown in FIG. fold. At this time, to improve the appearance,
It is best to fold it with the trifold tongue 17 facing inside. Then, the notch 16 is inserted into the handle of the hanger 11. The state is shown in FIG. 5C and FIG. In FIGS. 3 and 5, the same parts as in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same numbers.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the garment cover 10 is folded in two, the lower end 15 of the main body 9 is connected to the upper end 1.
It will be folded back a little from 3, but the lower end 15
The part has cardboard 19a, 1 as the opening member 19.
9b, the lower end 15 is folded back and hangs downward while remaining closed. Therefore, the lower end 15 does not become open or wrinkled, resulting in a visually beautiful folded state.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the above-described clothing cover 10 folded into three, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the clothing cover 10 folded into three.
It is an illustrative view showing a procedure for folding 0 into three.

Note that in FIGS. 4 and 6, the same parts as in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same numbers.

To make the clothes cover 10 into the tri-folded state shown in FIG. Fold the 1st part,
Tri-fold tongue 17 so that the lower end 15 is on the inside
Bring it to the upper end 13 (Fig. 6C),
Thereafter, the notch 18 formed in the trifold tongue 17 may be inserted into the handle of the hanger 11.

In this case, the lower end 15 of the main body 9 immediately hangs downward due to the weight of the opening member 19, and the end of the tri-folding tongue 17 also falls downward due to the weight of the cardboard 20, so that the bottom end 15 of the main body 9 immediately hangs downward due to the weight of the opening member 19. A trifold state is formed.

In the above description, the opening member 19 uses band-shaped cardboard 19a, 19b, but instead of this, a thin chain or chain made of metal or the like is used, and the lower end 15 of the main body 9 is rolled up and the metal chain is used. Alternatively, the chain may be housed within it.

Similarly, regarding the band-shaped cardboard 20 as a folding member built into the trifold tongue 17,
It may be replaced with a thin metal chain or the like.

Further, when forming the cut 16, a reinforcing sheet or tape may be placed in advance on the inside of the portion where the cut 16 is to be formed. If the notch 16 is formed with such reinforcing sheets or tapes stretched over each other, the strength around the notch 16 will be increased, so there is no fear that the notch 16 will be easily avoided.

The structure of the notch 18 can be similarly configured.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a garment cover 22 according to another embodiment of this invention. The garment cover 22 shown in FIG. 7 is a garment cover exclusively for tri-folding, and is intended to be placed over, for example, a one-piece dress for women. This clothing cover 22 is different from the clothing cover 10 described with reference to FIG.
The opening member 19 is not provided in the opening/closing opening 15a of the main body 9. This is this garment cover 22
Since this is a clothing cover exclusively for tri-folding, unnecessary structural requirements were omitted to make it cheaper.

In addition, in FIG. 7, the clothing cover 1 of FIG.
Components that are the same as or correspond to 0 are given the same numbers, and redundant explanations here will be omitted.

FIG. 8 shows how the garment cover 22 is folded into three folds. The clothes cover 22 is placed over the clothes (not shown) hung on the hanger 11, and the clothes cover 22 is first placed on the main body 9, centering around the trifold tongue 17.
Fold in half, then fold the main body 9 so that the lower end 15 of the main body is inward and the tri-fold tongue 17 faces the upper end 13 of the main body, and insert the notch 18 formed in the tri-fold tongue 17 into the handle of the hanger 11. Just insert it into. At this time, the end of the tri-fold tongue 17 is naturally folded back downward by the weight of the cardboard 20 as a folding member.

In each of the above explanations, it has been explained that the clothing cover according to this invention is used in clothing stores, etc., but it may also be used, for example, as a clothing cover to cover washed cut-up shirts, dresses, etc. used in laundry shops, etc. .
