Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to improvements in clothes hangers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hangers for hanging clothes one by one are well known, and various foldable products are commercially available.

[0003]

However, in this type of conventional product, the clothing cannot be removed quickly and conveniently,
For example, in the case of shirts and sweaters that do not have buttons or fasteners, there is a problem that the collar is wide open or deformed improperly due to repeated excessive removal work.

In this respect, the folding hanger is only intended to be small and compact for carrying, and has not yet been useful for removing the clothes.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and has a hollow hanger body shaped in a symmetrical symmetrical shape in front and rear views in view of the structure, and the hanger body described above. In the upright state inserted from above, the top hook assembled so that it can be moved up and down by a certain stroke on the vertical center line of the body, and the vertical center line from the hollow inside of the hanger body to the horizontal direction. And a pair of side arms pivotally rotatably pivoted through horizontal fulcrum pins in the vicinity of the center of the lower end of the body so as to project in a laterally symmetrical parallel state.

A pair of left and right hook claws that bend upward from the lower end of the top hook and a pair of left and right arc pushing up pressure-receiving pieces that bend obliquely downward are extended, while each of the side arms has a pair of left and right sides as a whole. As a result, a downward sloped piece that intersects in a mountain shape and a downwardly extending sloped piece that extends substantially at a right angle and are connected to the pivotally connecting part to the hanger body, sandwich the top push-up arc pressure receiving piece. A horizontal rising tilt push-up pressure piece is provided, and a hook claw that is detachably engaged with the hook claw of the top hook is bent downward from the upper end of the horizontal downward tilt piece.

When the pair of right and left side arms is raised around the fulcrum pin and deployed, the inclined push-up pressure piece sandwiches the top-push circular arc push-up pressure-receiving piece and ascends to raise the hook claw on the side arm side. And the top hook side hook claws are self-locking, and when the top hook in the raised state is pushed down, the lock state between the top hook side hook claw and the side arm side hook claw is released, It is characterized in that the side arm hangs down around the fulcrum pin and falls down.

[0008]

According to the above configuration of the present invention, when the left and right pair of side arms are raised around the fulcrum pin and deployed,
The top hook rises by a certain stroke, and the hook claw on the top hook side and the hook claw on the side arm side keep the locking lock state, so that the deployed side arm puts clothes, sweaters, and various other clothes on. It can be hung and used stably.

When the top hook is artificially pushed down from the use state, the hooking claw on the top hook side and the hook claw on the side arm side are released from each other, and the side arm serves as a fulcrum pin. Since it hangs down and falls down, the clothes can be removed as if it were slipping off, and there is no risk of the collar of shirts, sweaters, etc. being wide open or being deformed illegally. It is a so-called one-touch operation type that is light and convenient to handle.

[0010]

EXAMPLES The specific constitution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the illustrated examples. The clothes hanger is a synthetic resin product, and as is apparent from the use state of FIGS.・ Hollow hanger body (A) shaped in a symmetrical shape in the rear view, a pair of left and right side arms (B) protruding laterally from the hanger body (A), and also hanger body (A) It is equipped with a top hook (C) that engages and disengages with both side arms (B) by moving up and down on the vertical center line (Y-Y), and an operation lever (D) for pushing down the top hook (C). , These components are assembled as follows.

That is, the hanger body (A) is composed of a pair of front and rear flat plates (11) and (12) which maintain a constant gap (W). Through a fitting means, a fixing means such as a screw, etc., they are partially connected and integrated at several places. (L1) indicates the overall width dimension of the body (A). The center of the upper end of the body (A) is shaped as a lock pin receiving chamber (S), and receives a lock pin (described later) protruding from a mid-height position of the top hook (C), but the top hook (C). It is in communication with the hollow interior of the body (A) to allow the lifting and lowering action of the body.

Further, a window (13) which is covered by the operating lever (D) is opened in the front flat plate (11) which defines the locking pin receiving chamber (S), and the window (13) is opened. A pair of left and right bearing pieces (14) projecting forward from the opening edge portion of 13) bears a fulcrum pin of the operation lever (D) described later.

Next, the right and left pairs of the side arms (B) are the same as each other, and in use, they form an overall mountain shape that intersects on the vertical center line (Y-Y) of the hanger body (A). Describing each of them, this is an upper sloping piece (15) in a laterally downward sloping state that gradually descends as it juts out from the hollow inside of the hanger body (A) in the lateral direction, and a lower sloping piece that is substantially parallel to this. The side inclined piece (16), a substantially horizontal enclosing piece (17) connecting the lower end portions of both the inclined pieces (15) and (16), and the upper end portions of the both inclined pieces (15) and (16) are also connected. It is frame-integrated with an inclined push-up pressure piece (18) connected in a substantially orthogonal state.

(19) is an inclined push-up pressure piece (1
8) A hook claw extended from the intersection between the upper inclined piece (15) and the vertical center line (Y-Y) of the hanger body (A) and bent downward at its tip. It engages with a hook claw of the top hook (C), which will be described later, in a disengageable manner. The hook claws (19) are located substantially at the peak-shaped apexes of both side arms (B).

On the other hand, the inclined push-up pressure piece (18) is also provided.
An intersection of the lower inclined piece (16) and the lower inclined piece (16) is rotatably attached to the vicinity of the center of the lower end of the hanger body (A) via a horizontal fulcrum pin (20). In other words, the pair of left and right side arms (B) are in a symmetrical parallel installation state sandwiching the vertical center line (Y-Y) of the hanger body (A), and the respective fulcrum pins (20) are used as the center of rotation for self-weighting. It is laid down downward by the
The contact state is as shown in FIG.

Further, when the left and right pair of side arms (B) are viewed as a whole, both the inclined push-up pressure pieces (18).
Are crossed in a V-shape that can hold the lower end of the top hook (C), and the intersections of the lower inclined piece (16) and the inclined push-up pressure piece (18) contact each other on an arc surface in parallel. In this state, the fulcrum pin (20) can be smoothly moved up and down around the pivot point.

Moreover, the arcuate surface of the portion that bears the fulcrum pin (20) is engraved as a meshing gear (21), so that the rotation thereof causes the side arm (B).
The pair of left and right can be raised and deployed at the same time, and can be laid down as if it hangs down.
When one of the side arms (B) is raised and operated, the other side arm (B) can be also raised by itself by the meshing gear (21) which rotates in association with this. It can be said that it is extremely convenient because the above-mentioned laying action of both side arms (B) can be achieved at the same time.

In the state where the side arm (B) hangs down and falls, neither the upper inclined piece (15) nor the lower inclined piece (16) is protruded laterally from the hanger body (A). It is preferable to dimension the distance (L2) substantially parallel to and less than half of the overall width dimension (L1) of the body (A). This is because when the clothing (M) is removed, it is possible to prevent the clothing (M) from interfering with the hook claws (19) and tearing, and the clothing (M) can be smoothly removed from the side arm (B).

The upper-side inclined piece (15) of the side arm (B) serves as a hanging portion for the clothing (M), and in the illustrated embodiment, it is a lateral downward inclination that maintains a crossing angle (α) of about 25 degrees with the horizontal line. The inclined push-up pressing piece (18) of the side arm (B) is also used under the condition, and the side arm (B) is supported by the fulcrum pin (2).
0) in the process of raising and unfolding the top hook (C), the lower end of the top hook (C) is gradually pushed up to urge the vertical center line (Y-
Y) and the crossing angle (β) of about 20 degrees are maintained in the upward slope.

However, the numerical values of the crossing angles (α) and (β) are not limited to those in the illustrated embodiment, and the upper inclined pieces (15) thereof are not limited thereto.
If the tilt push-up pressure piece (18) can exert the push-up biasing force of the top hook (C) while maintaining the side-down tilt state, the inside of the side arm (B) frame can be further finely partitioned and reinforced, Alternatively, conversely, the installation of the lower inclined piece (16) may be omitted.

Further, as long as the side arm (B) can smoothly undulate with the fulcrum pin (20) as the center of rotation,
It is acceptable to form the side arm (B) in the form of a plate wall that closes the inside of the frame and to form an arc rotation guide elongated hole that does not interfere with the above-mentioned coupling portion of the hanger body (A) in the plate wall surface.

In any case, as in the illustrated embodiment, from the intersection of the enclosing piece (17) and the upper inclined piece (15) (the protruding lower end of the side arm), a hook for hanging clothes such as strings is hung. It is desirable to project (22). This is because it is possible to suspend and use the string of the clothes, which is more convenient.

Further, the top hook (C) is in an upright state inserted from above the hanger body (A) for use by hanging it on a clothes rod or a hook fitting (not shown) in the room. . (23) is a pair of left and right horizontal locking pins that laterally project from the mid-height position of the top hook (C) and faces the locking pin receiving chamber (S) of the hanger body (A). There is.

Reference numeral (24) is an elevating guide slot formed similarly at the lower end of the top hook (C) so that the top hook (C) is above the vertical center line (Y-Y) of the hanger body (A). Is moved up and down by a constant stroke (H). (25) is an elevating guide elongated hole (24)
It is a fixed pin that penetrates through and is orthogonal to the locking pin (23), so that it participates in the connection of both flat plates (11) and (12) in the hanger body (A). The top hook (C) is assembled by the fixing pin (25) so as not to shake laterally with respect to the hanger body (A).

Further, (26) is a pair of left and right hook claws laterally projecting from the lower end of the top hook (C), and extended from the upper inclined piece (15) of the side arm (B). Engage and lock the hook claw (19) so that it can be disengaged. Therefore, corresponding to the hook claw (19) on the side arm (B) side that bends downward, the hook claw (26) on the top hook (C) side is bent and formed upward.

(27) is a pair of left and right circular arc push-up pressure receiving pieces which are also bent and extended obliquely downward from the lower end of the top hook (C), the convex curved surface of which is an inclined push-up pressing piece of the side arm (B). (18) is elastically in point contact.

That is, when the side arm (B) is raised around the pivot attachment fulcrum pin (20) to the hanger body (A) and deployed as shown in FIG. 16, the side arm (B) is perpendicular to the body (A). The inclined push-up pressure piece (18) approaching toward the center line (Y-Y) comes into contact with the arc push-up pressure receiving piece (27) of the top hook (C), and the pressure receiving piece (2).
7) Slide up and slide up, and as soon as it reaches the end point of the ascent, hook claws (19) on the side arm (B) side as shown in FIG.
And the hook claw (26) on the top hook (C) side are locked and locked.

In this case, the pair of left and right side arms (B) are automatically pushed up by the meshing gear (21) at once, so that the vertical direction of the hanger body (A) is raised during the process of raising and unfolding. Center line (Y-Y)
The two circular push-up pressure pieces (18) approaching upward pinch the arc-shaped push-up pressure receiving pieces (27) of the top hook (C), and the holding force acts as the push-up force of the top hook (C) to move up and down. The top hook (C) correctly rises on the vertical center line (Y-Y) of the hanger body (A) through the guide action of the guide elongated hole (24), and both side arms (B) at the end point of the rise. )
Is automatically locked to the top hook (C).

As is apparent from FIGS. 11 and 12, the push-down operation lever (D) of the top hook (C) mentioned above has a window formed in the front flat plate (11) of the hanger body (A). A finger rest (28) for covering (13),
It is provided with a fork-like push-down claw (29) protruding from the rear side toward the inside of the locking pin receiving chamber (S).

Reference numeral (30) is a pair of left and right fulcrum pins which extend from the lower end of the operating lever (D) in a horizontal state parallel to the locking pin (23) of the top hook (C).
The operation lever (D) rotates around this point. As described above, the fulcrum pin (30) is supported by the bearing piece (14) of the hanger body (A).

The push-down claw (29) of the operating lever (D) is always in the locking pin receiving chamber (S) of the hanger body (A) from above to the locking pin (23) of the top hook (C). It is kept locked.
Therefore, the fingertip (28) of the operating lever (D) is applied to the fingertip of one hand from the front side, and this is applied from FIG. 12 to FIG.
If you push it down like, push down claw (29)
Rotates downwards to push down the locking pin (23) of the top hook (C), and the hook claw (26) on the top hook (C) side and the hook claw (26) on the side arm (B) side. 19) As a result of the release of the locked state with the side arm (B), the side arm (B) falls down due to its own weight into the hanging state as shown in FIGS.

On the other hand, if the side arm (B) in the hanging and lying down state is raised around the pivot attachment fulcrum pin (20) with respect to the hanger body (A), the top hook (C) has a constant stroke as described above. Since only (H) rises, the hook claw (2) on the top hook (C) side
6) and the hook claw (19) on the side arm (B) side are independently locked to keep the side arm (B) in the expanded state, and the push down claw of the operation lever (D) is held. (29) also rotates upwards in the opposite direction by the locking pin (23) of the top hook (C), and the finger contact piece (28) thereof protrudes forward from the window (13) and is exposed to apply the fingertip. It will be restored to an easy state.

Since the clothes hanger of the present invention is made of a synthetic resin, it is possible to give different colored colors to each of the above-mentioned constituent members or to give the same colored color to all of them.

In using the clothes hanger having the above construction, the pair of left and right side arms (B) is shown in FIG.
2. Raise it to the unfolded state such as 2, 10 and hang various clothes (M) such as shirts and sweaters on it.

During use of the hanging, the top hook (C) is in a raised state, and the load of the clothing (M) acts on the side arm (B) which is extended from this side and the top arm (B) of the top hook (C) side is extended. Since the hook claw (26) and the hook claw (19) on the side arm (B) side are locked and locked, the side arm (B) does not swing in the vertical direction, much less the locked state is accidentally released. There is no fear of doing it.

When the clothing (M) is removed from the hanger, the finger contact piece (28) of the operating lever (D) is used.
Put the fingertip of one hand on and push it into the locking pin receiving chamber (S) of the hanger body (A).

Then, since the top claw (C) is pushed down by the push-down claw (29) of the operation lever (D), the top claw (2) on the top hook (C) side is pushed down.
6) and the hook claws (19) on the side arm (B) side
And the side arm (B) is laid down around the pivot attachment fulcrum pin (20) with respect to the hanger body (A), and the side arm (B) changes to the hanging state as shown in FIGS.

As a result, the garment (M) can be instantly removed like sliding off from the side arm (B), which is extremely convenient. Further, packing, transportation, storage, etc. can be economically performed under the small and compact lying down state.

Further, if the side arm (B) in the lying state is raised around the fulcrum pin (20) and expanded as shown in FIG. 16, the inclined push-up pressure piece (1
8) The top hook (C) is smoothly lifted, and the top hook (C) side hook claw (26) and the side arm (B) side hook claw (19) are locked by themselves. Therefore, the clothing (M) can be suspended and used again on the side arm (B).
