Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable opening or closing of this opening-closing hanger device at a single action by forming a holding means crossing a vertical shaft between the body and the vertical shaft while an elastic means is made to work on the vertical shaft. SOLUTION: A vertical path-shaped mounting part 20 is fitted in a body 10 to move a vertical rod 13 vertically and when the vertical rod 13 is pushed down on the body 10 by an interlocking mechanism 21, catch rods 11 and 12 are opened and with the vertical rod 13 pushed up, catch rods 11 and 12 are closed. A resilience means 14 is fitted to energize a vertical shaft 13 in the direction of keeping the pair of left and right catch rods 11 and 12 opened and is mounted compressed in a chamber 25 with the lower end part of the vertical shaft 13 moving vertically to be energized upward. To keep the opening of the catch rods, a holding means 15 is interposed between the body 10 and the vertical shaft 13 and the left and right catch rods 11 and 12 kept opened are closed by locking the fixing of the vertical shaft 13 by the holding means 15. Thus, the opening or closing action is possible at a signal action by pushing a manipulation member 18 with a manually or automatically pressing element.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the opening / closing hanger device according to the present invention, a pair of hanging rods 11 and 12 for hanging clothes are pivotally supported symmetrically on the left and right sides of a main body 10, and the pivoting end portions of both hanging rods 11 and 12 are supported. A vertically movable rod 13 is attached to the main body 10 so that both hanging rods 11 and 12 can be vertically rotated by mechanical interlock with the vertical rod 13.

The vertical rod 13 is attached to the center of the main body 10 so as to be vertically movable. For vertical movement of the vertical rod 13, a vertical passage-like mounting portion 20 is provided in the main body 10. The interlocking mechanism 21 interlocks the left and right hanging rods 11 and 12 in the vertical direction according to the vertical movement.

The interlocking mechanism 21 of the embodiment includes the left and right hanging rods 1.
It comprises pinion-shaped teeth 22 formed at the inner ends of the shafts 1 and 12 with their pivot points 11a and 12a at the center, and rack-shaped teeth 23 formed on the vertical rod 13 at positions meshing with them. Reference numerals 11b and 12b denote hanging rod bases, each having a plate-like shape capable of moving up and down a slit-like opening 24 formed in the main body 10.

Elastic means 14 is provided to urge the vertical axis 13 in the direction in which the pair of left and right hanging rods 11, 12 are opened. Elastic means 14 for urging longitudinal axis 13 upward in the axial direction
In the embodiment, a coil spring is used, which is assembled in a compressed state in a chamber 25 in which the lower end of the longitudinal axis 13 moves up and down and is urged upward. Reference numeral 26 denotes a spring receiver, which is set such that the hanging rods 11 and 12 open and close with a stroke that moves up and down in the chamber 25 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

Therefore, when the vertical rod 13 is pushed down with respect to the main body 10, the hanging rods 11 and 12 are opened, and when the vertical rod 13 is pushed up, the hanging rods 11 and 12 are closed.
The open state is a state in which clothes or the like are hung on the hanging rods 11 and 12, and a holding means 15 is provided between the main body 10 and the vertical axis 13 to hold the open state. The holding means 15 is means for stopping the relative movement of the vertical rod 13 with respect to the main body 10,
For example, various key structures, mechanical engagement, and means such as braking can be applied.

The holding means 15 of the embodiment has a kind of key structure, and has an engaging portion 16 formed on the outer surface of the longitudinal axis 13 and formed of a concave portion or a convex portion, and an engaging partner 17 engageable with the engaging portion. And an engaging member 18. The engaging portion 16 is located on the vertical axis 1
The engaging member 18 is a groove formed in a direction orthogonal to the direction 3 and has an opening formed by a large opening through which the vertical axis 13 passes and a small opening having an edge which engages only with the groove and prevents the vertical axis 13 from moving up and down. 19, which constitute an engagement partner 17 in which the edge of the small mouth engages with the groove.

Further, the holding means 15 has a second elastic means 27 for urging in the engaging direction in order to hold the engaged state with the longitudinal axis 13. Therefore, the engaging member 18 has the operating end 18a.
Is not pressed by the second elastic means 27.
(FIG. 1 and FIG. 2B)
State). The second elastic means 27 may also be composed of a coil spring.

In the above embodiment, the operation end 18a of the engagement member 18 is pushed to release the engagement between the engagement portion 16 and the engagement partner 17 (as a result, the vertical portion pushed up by the elastic means 14). The hanging rods 11 and 12 are closed in conjunction with the rod 13 (see FIG. 4). However, the engagement member 18 may be provided with a second operation portion 18b that projects to the side opposite to the operation end 18, and the engagement may be released by pulling the second operation portion 18b. This is the first modification shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows the contacts 18d, 18 contacting each other on an inclined surface 18c in order to change the operation end 18a of the embodiment so as to be operated in the axial direction.
c shows a modified example 2 in which the operation end 18a is formed on the engaging member 18 respectively. A return spring 1 is attached to the contact 18d on the operation side.
8f works.

Therefore, by stopping the fixing of the longitudinal axis 13 by the holding means 15, the left and right hanging rods 11, 12 held in the open state are closed, but according to the embodiment, the operating member 18 is manually or automatically pressed. This is made possible by a one-touch operation pressed with 30. In the figure, reference numeral 29 denotes a hook attached to the upper end of the vertical axis 13.

[0014]

Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, the hanging rods 11 and 12 of the hanger device are used.
However, there is an effect that the elastic member 14 acting by releasing the fixing of the vertical rod 13 by operating the holding means 15 can be closed with one touch.
