Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hanger for suspending clothes such as trousers and skirts.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a laundry, clothes that have been cleaned are hung on a hanger and stored.
Even when a customer comes to pick up the clothes, he / she hands over the clothes with the hanger attached. Even the customer generally uses the hanger to store the clothes in a suspended state before wearing them.

Conventionally, in the case of pants and skirts, the pants and skirts are folded in two on a horizontal wire of a wire hanger whose tip is bent in a hook shape.
If you hang it as it is, it has the drawback that it will leave creases when you wear it. Therefore, recently, a hanger in which the hem of the trousers or the belt of the skirt is sandwiched by clips (sandwich pieces) and hung is welcomed.

As a hanger having a clip mechanism,
Conventionally, there is a structure in which the hem of a trouser is sandwiched between two sandwiching pieces using a spring, and the trousers are held by the spring force of the spring. However, the mechanism having the spring is complicated and requires a large number of members and assembling steps, which causes a problem of high cost.

In particular, the clip hanger used in a laundry shop is required to be as inexpensive as possible because it is difficult to pass the price of the clip hanger itself as a charge to the customer. Therefore, a structure having a complicated structure or requiring assembling man-hours leads to an increase in cost, which is not preferable.

As a conventional clip hanger, there is a clip hanger described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-7234 or Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-33073 proposed by the applicant of the present application. These are hooks that are integrally connected to the top of a clip body made of synthetic resin with the center part bendable.A separate oval ring is pushed onto the top of the clip body to By opening and closing, clothes are clamped. As a result, the flexibility of the clip body can be used to sandwich the clothes, so that an elastic pressure means such as a spring is not required separately, and a significant cost reduction can be realized as compared with the conventional case.

However, even in these cases, since the elliptical ring body is separately required, a die and an assembling work are required and there is a limit in cost reduction.

In order to solve this problem, the applicant of the present application has proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-35759 that the clip body is opened and closed by a lever piece integrally molded with the clip body.

[0009]

However, in the structure of the clip hanger proposed in the above Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-35759, the clip body is opened and closed by operating the lever piece. There was a point that was difficult to understand. In addition, there is a problem in that the length of the lever piece cannot be increased due to the molding of the mold, so that a relatively large force is required for the operation of sandwiching the clip body. Further, since the lever piece projects to the side of the clip body, there is a limit to the number of multiple pieces that can be integrally molded.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an inexpensive clip whose operation method is easy to understand, which can be opened and closed without requiring a large force, and which can be taken in a large number and integrally molded.

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a clothes hanger of the present invention comprises a pair of clothes-holding pieces which are connected to both sides of a connecting plate so as to be freely bendable and whose lower ends are connected to each other. A hook piece is formed at one end of the connecting plate, the lower end of which is flexibly connected in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the clothes holding piece is bendable, and a hook portion is formed inside the upper end of the clothes holding piece. A hook-shaped expanding portion that expands the hook portion and an engaging portion that engages with the hook portion when the hook piece is erected are formed on the lower end and both sides of the hook piece, respectively.

[0012]

When the hook piece is erected, the wedge-shaped expanding portion at the lower end of the hook piece pushes open the hook portion at the upper end of the clothes holding piece. Since the upper end of the clothes holding piece is connected to both sides of the connecting plate, the lower end of the clothes holding piece is closed by levering the connecting parts as a fulcrum. The clothes are sandwiched by inserting the clothes into the lower end of the clothes sandwiching piece. When the hook piece completely stands up, the engaging portion of the hook piece engages with the hook portion, so that the clothes holding piece does not open due to an external impact or the like. In that state, the hook piece can be hung on a bar or the like.

When the garment is removed, the engaging portions on both sides of the hook piece are clamped by hand to reduce the distance between the two, so that the engagement with the hook portion on the upper end of the garment clamping side is released.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a side view, and FIG. 3 is a plan view. In these figures, 1 and 2 are a pair of clothes holding pieces, and 3 is a clothes holding piece 1 and 2.
A connecting plate 4 for integrally connecting the lower part of the upper end of the connecting plate 4 with one end of the connecting plate 3 is bent at a thin hinge part 4d in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the clothes holding pieces 1 and 2 are freely bendable. It is a hook piece that is freely connected. Hook portions 1a and 2a are formed inside the upper ends of the clothes holding pieces 1 and 2, and the hook pieces 4 are provided.
When the hook piece 4 stands up at the lower end and both sides of the
a, 2a for expanding the wedge-shaped expanding portion 4c and the hook portion 1a,
Engaging portions 4a and 4b that engage with 2a are formed. The engaging portion 4a, 4b forming portion is bifurcated from the main body of the hook piece 4 to give elasticity to both engaging portions 4a, 4b and to sandwich both engaging portions 4a, 4b by hand. By attaching it, the engagement can be released.

Now, when the hook piece 4 is raised from the state shown in FIG. 2, the hook piece 4 is rotated around the hinge portion 4d of the connecting portion with the connecting plate 3 as a fulcrum. First, the wedge-shaped widening portion 4c abuts on the hook portions 1a, 2a on the upper inner side of the clothes holding pieces 1, 2, and then pushes the hook portions 1a, 2a open. As a result, the clothes clip 1,
The lower part of 2 is closed by a lever action with the connecting part with the connecting plate 3 as a fulcrum. Therefore, by sandwiching the clothes under the clothes sandwiching pieces 1 and 2, the clothes are sandwiched by the elastic force of the clothes sandwiching pieces 1 and 2. In the state where the hook piece 4 is completely erected, the engaging portions 4a and 4b are pushed inward and then spread outward, engage with the hooks 1a and 2a, and the erected state is maintained as shown in FIG. . In this state, the hook piece 4 is hung on a bar or the like.

When removing the clothes, if the engaging portions 4a and 4b are sandwiched by hand, the engaging portions 4a and 4b and the hook portions 1a and 2a are disengaged. Two
Return to the state of. Thereby, the engaged state of the clothes holding pieces 1 and 2 is released, so that the lower part of the clothes holding pieces 1 and 2 can be opened to remove the clothes.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to grasp clothes with an easy-to-understand and small operation force of raising the hook piece that is originally used in the upright state, and the conventional lever. Since there is no protruding portion in the width direction such as a piece, it is possible to increase the number of multi-cavity molds of the same size and reduce the product cost.
