Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] <Industrial application field> The present invention relates to improvements to skirt hangers.

<Prior Art> As a conventional skirt hanger, one shown in FIG. 5 has been proposed. This has a hook b made of plastic or the like in the center of a flexible long metal plate a. At both ends of the metal plate a, anti-slip parts c, c, which are similarly molded from plastic and cover the metal plate a, are fitted.

In use, the skirt hanger is inserted into the waist part e of the skirt d by bending the metal plate a.
At this time, the skirt d is held by the repulsive force of the curved metal plate a and suspended from the hook b (FIG. 6).

By using such a skirt hanger, you can hang the skirt with just one touch without causing any wrinkles.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-153528 discloses a hanger that can be used for both Japanese clothes and which can be used to hang clothes and can also be modified to hang Japanese clothes. Suggestions have been made. This hanging device for Japanese clothes is designed to achieve the above-mentioned modification by dividing the hanging portion into a plurality of parts and connecting them so that they can rotate only upward.

<Problem that the invention aims to solve> However, the purpose of this hanger for hanging Japanese clothes was to not only allow clothes to be hung, but also to transform it so that it could also be used to hang larger Japanese clothes. It is not intended to be made smaller than hanging clothes, and it cannot be made into a foldable form for use when traveling.

In addition, the skirt hanger shown in Fig. 6 is different from the above-mentioned hanging device for Japanese clothes, which is made of a non-flexible material, and from general outerwear hangers and slacks hangers, as described above. Flexibility is an essential requirement. For this reason, it was considered impossible to fold this type of skirt hanger into a small size for traveling or the like. More specifically, this kind of skirt hanger has a metal plate a bent and inserted into the waist part e of a skirt d, and the skirt d is held by the repulsive force of the curved metal plate a. If both ends of the metal plate a are not sufficiently bent downward, the skirt d will have a strange hanging habit. On the other hand, if a folding function is added to the metal plate a, its flexibility will be impaired, and both ends of the metal plate a will not be able to bend downwards sufficiently, and there is a risk that the skirt d will have strange curls. be.

Therefore, the prevailing opinion among those skilled in the art was that it was not possible to use a skirt hanger for portable use or to adjust the size to match the size of the skirt.

Another thing to keep in mind when traveling is how to handle the hook. Since this hook protrudes upward, it does not fit well even when stored in a bag with other items, and the base of the hook may break due to shocks applied to the bag during travel. This problem has also been pointed out.

Therefore, the present invention aims to maintain sufficient flexibility of the elongated body to support the skirt d well, make it foldable for portable use, and prevent the hook from being damaged during travel. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a skirt hanger that can be used for various purposes.

In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a skirt hanger that can be easily adapted to various skirt sizes.

<Means for solving the problems> However, the present invention provides a flexible elongated strip 1
and a hook 2 capable of hanging the elongated strip 1 to another body, and both ends of the elongated strip 1 are curved downward in an arched manner when biased from above.
The hook 2 is fixed to the center of the elongated strip 1, and the vicinity of both ends of the elongated strip 1 are inserted into the waist of the skirt to hold the skirt using the repulsive force of the curvature. The following features are provided.

In the present invention, the elongated strip 1 is composed of a central portion 1' and left and right flexible long pieces 1'', 1'' connected to both ends of the central portion 1'. Anti-slip portions 8, 8 are provided at the respective ends of the left and right long pieces 1'', 1'', and the above-mentioned hook 2 is provided upwardly in the center of this central portion 1'. ing. The left and right long pieces 1'', 1'' are connected to the center portion 1' by hinges 7, 7 so as to be rotatable only upward.

The left and right long pieces 1'', 1'' are longer than the central portion 1' and have a length that reaches the hook 2 when bent upward.

Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned features, the second present invention provides an overlapping portion 12 that is expandable and retractable in at least one of the central portion 1' of the elongated strip and the left and right long pieces 1'', 1''. , 12.

<Function> The present invention with the above-mentioned means has the left and right long pieces 1",
1'' can be folded only upward by the hinge 7, so it is possible to exert a repulsive force without folding in the direction of curvature when the skirt is hung.

Since the left and right long pieces 1'', 1'' are longer than the center portion 1', both left and right ends can be sufficiently bent, and the skirt will not have any strange curls.

Moreover, since the left and right long pieces 1'', 1'' have a length that reaches the hook 2 when bent upward, as shown in FIG. 1, the left and right long pieces 1'', 1'' can be folded to protect the hook 2. Therefore, when moving, the hook 2
prevents it from becoming distorted or damaged.

Furthermore, by forming stretchable overlapping parts 12, 12 in the central part 1' of the elongated strip and at least one of the left and right elongated parts 1'', 1'',
It is possible to change the size of the hanger during use to match the size of the skirt.

<Embodiments> Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of this invention will be described in detail by way of example with reference to the drawings. However, the dimensions, shapes, materials, relative positions, etc. of the components described in this example are not intended to limit the scope of this invention, unless specifically stated. , is merely an illustrative example.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a long strip, and 2 is a hook. A hook attachment 3 is attached to approximately the center of this long strip 1. The fixture 3 is made of plastic or the like, and has a base part 4 that penetrates the central part 1' and is fixed thereto, and projecting legs 5 that project from the base part 4. The base of the hook 2 of the hanger is pivoted to the top 6 of the projecting leg 5. At this time, the hook 2 is pivoted so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction (arrow x). Furthermore, an annular hook receiver 2' is provided at the bottom of the hook mount 3 so that a plurality of hangers can be hung in series.

The long strip body has a central part 1' made of a suitable material such as flexible metal or synthetic resin, and left and right long pieces 1'', which are also flexible.
1''.The central portion 1' constitutes the central portion of the long strip 1 on which the hook mount 3 is provided, and the long pieces 1'', 1'' are connected to both ends of the long strip 1'' via hinges 7, 7. The hinges 7, 7 are formed so that the long pieces 1'', 1'' can be bent only upward.

The ends of the left and right long pieces 1'', 1'' are covered with anti-slip parts 8, 8 made of plastic, rubber, etc. to prevent the skirt from slipping when inserted into the skirt.

Next, the above hinges 7, 7 will be explained in detail using FIG. 2A. The hinge 7 is made by dividing the end of the central portion 1' into an appropriate number of parts, and winding some of them around the shaft 10.
It is assumed that the winding portions are 9, 9. Similarly, the end of the elongated piece 1'' is also provided with a winding portion 9' wound around this shaft 10, and the elongated piece 1'' is connected to the central portion 1' via the shaft 10. The long piece 1'' is formed to be rotatable around the shaft. At this time, a part of the end of the central portion 1' is not wound around the shaft 10,
The central portion 1' is left stretched in the longitudinal direction. This results in a hit 11, and the center portion 1' is not folded downward (to the side opposite to the hook 2).

Incidentally, the same effect can be obtained even if the central portion 1' and the long pieces'' are reversed in FIG. 2 (this example is shown in FIG. 2B).

Since the left and right long pieces 1'', 1'' are longer than the central part 1', when the long pieces 1'', 1'' are bent upward, both ends of the long pieces 1'', 1'' are shown as shown in the imaginary line in Figure 1. reaches the hook 2, and the left and right long pieces 1'', 1'' can protect the hook 2 during transportation. In addition, at this position, the long piece 1″,
1'' may be provided with appropriate clicks (not shown) on the hinges 7, 7 to temporarily fix them.
This may be replaced by providing a configuration in which the anti-slip portions 8, 8 engage with each other.

Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 3A. This is done by dividing and overlapping the vicinity of both ends of the central portion 1' described above, and overlapping portions 12,
12. More specifically, the center portion 1' in FIG. 1 is divided from the center to the hinge portions 7, 7. At this time, the part near the end part 7' on the side of the hinge part 7 which is parted is overlapped with the lower surface of the part part 12' on the central part side.

The divided portion 12' is provided with an appropriate number of recesses 14 so as to protrude toward the rear surface. The respective recesses 14 are located at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction of the central portion 1'.

This will be explained below using FIG. This is an enlarged view of the main parts of the skirt hanger seen from the back. so as to hold the overlapped end portion 7′,
The holding pieces 13, 13 are attached to this from both sides of the divided portion 12'.
is wound. A recess 14' projecting to the back surface is provided in the overlapping portion 12 of the divided portion 12' to receive the recess 14 projecting to the back surface described above. Polymerization part 12
changes its length by sliding (arrow z), and a recess 14' overlaps the appropriate recess 14 in order to determine its position when the skirt hanger expands and contracts. In order to prevent the vicinity of the end portion 7' from coming off from the overlapping portion 12, a protrusion 15, which comes into contact with the holding pieces 13, 13, is provided.
15 on both sides of the end portion 7' is effective.

Further, instead of the holding pieces 13, 13, 13, 13, a receiving part for the divided part 7' may be formed of plastic or the like in the divided part 12' to form the overlapping part 12 (not shown). In order to ensure the positioning of the overlapping portion 12, an appropriate number of screw holes penetrating from the front surface to the back surface are provided at appropriate positions in the vicinity of the end portion 7' and/or the divided portion 12', and It is also effective to attach and fix it.

Also, the position of the overlapping part 12 is changed to the long piece 1'' in FIG.
1" is advantageous in terms of strength. In this case, the second
Although it may be constructed with the overlapping part 12 having the structure as shown in Figure A, it is also possible to form the overlapping part 12 with a molded body of plastic or the like into a sheath shape and house the long pieces 1'', 1'' therein as shown in Figure 3B. It may also be something that performs contraction.

<Effects of the invention> Therefore, the present invention maintains sufficient flexibility of the metal plate to support the skirt well, makes it foldable for portable use, and prevents the hook from being damaged during travel. It is possible to provide a skirt hanger that can prevent such problems.

In addition, the present invention makes it possible to provide a skirt hanger that can be easily adapted to various skirt sizes by making the elongated body stretchable.
