BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hanging hook for clothes hanging devices such as hangers and clothes dryers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when hanging clothes on a clothes hanging device such as a hanger or a clothes dryer and suspending them on a bar member such as a clothesline, an inverted U-shaped suspension provided on the clothes hanging device is used. The hook was hooked on the bar member and suspended.

[0003]

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional hanging hook, since the lower part of the hanging hook is kept open, when the clothes are fanned by strong wind, the hanging hook comes off from the bar member and the hanging clothes are suspended. There was a problem that the lowering tool fell. An object of the present invention is to improve the conventional hanging hook and eliminate the above-mentioned problems.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the hanging hook of the clothes hanging device of the present invention is a hanger,
In a hanging hook of a clothes hanging device such as a clothes dryer, bent portions of a pair of inverted L-shaped locking members are pivotally attached to both sides of a curved portion of the hanging hook so that their opening sides face each other. In this structure, the opening sides of both locking members detachably embrace the rod member with the tightening force due to the elasticity of the curved portion of the suspension hook.

[0005] Then, the opening side surface of the lower end of the locking member may be provided with a slip stopper, or a soft elastic member may be provided at the center of the curved portion of the hanging hook.

[0006]

In order to suspend the clothes hanging device on the bar member by the suspension hook having the above-mentioned structure, the lower sides of both locking members are opened, the upper sides thereof are hooked on the bar member, and a force is applied to the suspension hook to pull it down. As a result, the rod member lifts the upper sides of both locking members to rotate both locking members. Both locking members,
The upper side is opened and the lower side is closed, and the opening side comes into contact with the outer periphery of the bar member at four points and holds the bar member. At that time, the curved portion of the hanging hook is pushed outward by the rod member via the both locking portions to allow the both locking members to rotate. Therefore, the two locking members strongly hold the rod member with a tightening force due to the elastic restoring force of the curved portion of the hanging hook, and prevent the hanging hook from coming off the rod member due to strong wind blowing on the clothes.

On the contrary, in order to remove the hanging hook from the bar member, a force may be applied to the hanging hook to pull it up.
The anti-slip applied to the tip of the lower side of the locking member increases the frictional force between the locking member and the outer circumference of the bar member, making it difficult to open the lower side. Further, the elastic member provided at the center of the curved portion of the hanging hook contacts the outer circumference of the bar member at five points together with both the locking members to ensure the hug of the bar member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a hanger,
A clothes hanging device such as a clothes dryer, which is provided with a hanging hook 2 according to the present invention for hanging the clothes hanging device on a bar member such as a clothes dryer.

The hanging hook 2 is formed by bending a rod-shaped material such as a synthetic resin pipe into an inverted U shape, and a pair of locking members 4 are provided on both sides of the curved portion 3. Both of these locking members 4 are inverted L-shaped members having a groove-shaped cross-sectional shape.
As shown in FIG. 5, the bent flanges are pivotally attached to the suspension hook 2 by pins 5 so that their opening sides face each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a slip stopper 6 composed of a large number of thin protrusions is provided on the opening side surface of the lower end of the locking member 4.

According to the hanging hook 2 having the above structure, the clothes hanging tool 1 can be attached to and detached from the bar member by a one-touch operation. The operation will be described in detail in three stages with reference to FIG.

In order to suspend the clothes hanging device 1 on the bar member by the hanging hook 2, first, in the first step, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower sides of both locking members 4 are opened and the upper side thereof is bar member 7. Hang on. The bar member 7 slightly rotates both locking members 4 by the weight W of the clothes hanging tool 1 to open the upper sides of both locking members 4 and close the lower sides. Therefore, both locking members 4
Touches the rod member 7 at the four contact points T and holds the rod member 7 lightly. At this stage, the center point B of the rod member 7 is below the PQ line connecting the center points P and Q of the pin 5, and PQ <P
B + BQ (however, PB = BQ = constant), and the force with which both locking members 4 tighten the rod member 7 is extremely weak because it depends only on the weight W of the clothing hanging tool 1.

At the next second stage, as shown in FIG. 6, a force F is applied to the suspension hook 2 to pull down the suspension hook 2. The rod member 7 further rotates both locking members 4 to push open the upper sides of both locking members 4 and close the lower sides, and the center point B of the rod members 7 comes on the PQ line. Therefore, PQ = PB + BQ
= Maximum, the curved portion 3 of the hanging hook 2 is elastically deformed outward slightly, and the both locking members 4 are allowed to rotate. As a result, both locking members 4 hold the rod member 7 with the maximum tightening force due to the elastic restoring force of the curved portion 3 of the hanging hook 2.

Even in the final third stage, as shown in FIG.
Then, the hanging hook 2 is pulled down, but the pulling down force G at this time is smaller than the pulling down force F in the second stage. This is easy to understand because the answer to pulling down suddenly weakens. The rod member 7 further pushes open the upper sides of both locking members 4 and closes the lower sides thereof, and the center point B of the rod members 7 moves above the PQ line. As a result, PQ <PB + BQ again,
The elastic deformation of the curved portion 3 of the hanging hook 2 is restored very slightly inward. Therefore, although the tightening force of both locking members 4 is slightly reduced as compared with the second stage, both locking members 4 still strongly hold the bar member 7 with the remaining tightening force.

On the contrary, in order to remove the hanging hook 2 from the bar member 7, the hanging hook 2 may be pulled up by applying a force to the hanging hook 2. As described above, the suspension hook 2 of the present invention is
Even in the third stage, the rod member 7 is hugged with a strong tightening force, and the rod member 7 cannot be removed unless the tightening force exceeds the maximum second stage. It doesn't get out of the way.

The anti-slip 6 applied to the lower end of the locking member 4 increases the frictional force between the locking member 4 and the rod member 7,
The lower side of the locking member 4 is difficult to open.

In this embodiment, the locking member 4 contacts the rod member 7 at the four contact points T, but as another embodiment,
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a soft elastic member 8 such as rubber may be provided at the center of the curved portion 3 of the hanging hook 2 and brought into contact with the rod member 7 in the third step. As a result, the elastic member 8 contacts the rod member 7 together with the locking member 4 at five points, so that the rod member 7 is held more securely. If the elastic member 8 is not provided, the pulling down amount of the hanging hook 2 in the third step may be increased, the lower side of the locking member 4 may be separated from the rod member 7, and the tightening force may be lost. In this state, if the clothes are fanned by a strong wind, the hanging hook 2 may slide along the rod member 7, but will not come off from the rod member 7 unless the second stage is overcome.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, a pair of inverted L-shaped locking members pivotally mounted on both sides of the curved portion of the hanging hook are brought into contact with the bar member at four points, so that the hanging hook. Since the bar member is configured to be detachably held by the tightening force due to the elasticity of the curved portion of the hook, even if the clothes of the clothes hanging tool are fanned by strong wind, the hanging hook does not come off from the bar member. Absent. Then, when slippage is applied to the opening-side surface of the lower end of the locking member, the frictional force between the lower side of the locking member and the bar member increases, and the lower side of the locking member opens and disengages from the bar member. Make it difficult.

Further, when a soft elastic member is provided at the center of the curved portion of the hanging hook, the elastic member comes into contact with the rod member at five points together with the locking member, and the holding of the rod member is further ensured.
