Abstract
An automobile clothes hanger bracket providing a better retaining effect comprise a hanger part with two extended rods and two mounting units. Each of the mounting units further includes a rod holder, an extended bars and a control member. The rod holders respectively hold the head piece rods of the head piece of a car seat. An axial hole passing through the members of each mounting unit can retain an extended rod of the hanger part. Each of the head piece rods is provided with a locking mechanism consisting of a spring and a control knob, so that the hanger part can be removed from the mounting units easily.
Description
- The present invention relates to clothes hangers for the use in an automobile, and more particularly to an automobile clothes hanger bracket that provides: a better retaining effect achieved by two mounting units that connect the extended rods of a hanger part and the head piece rods of the head piece of a car seat, each of the mounting units further including a rod holder, an extended bar and a control member for providing a locking mechanism; more convenient replacement of parts since the hanger part and the mounting units are separated.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , an automobile clothes hanger of the prior art comprises a substantially T-shaped hanger part 10 and two extendedrod embedding member 13 having anembedding slot 14. To use the clothes hanger, the extendedrods members 13 thereof can be disposed between twohead piece rods 3 of thehead piece 2 of acar seat 1. Thereby, thehead piece rods 3 can be embedded into theembedding slots 14 of the embeddingmembers 13, and thehanger part 10 is mounted on the back side of thecar seat 1 for hanging clothes. - However, the automobile clothes hanger bracket of the prior art has the following disadvantages. Firstly, since the holding of the
head piece rods 3 in theembedding slots 14 of the embeddingmembers 13 is not fully closed, it is possible that an foreign object pulls the hanged clothes, causing thehanger part 10 to fall off. Secondly, since that the embeddingmembers 13 are integrally connected with the extendedrods hanger part 10 and that theembedding slots 14 are not tough, once theembedding slots 14 are broken due to external forces, the whole clothes hanger bracket will be wasted. - Accordingly, the primary objective of the present invention is to provide an automobile clothes hanger bracket having mounting units separated from the hanger part. The holding members of the mounting units entirely encircle the head piece rods of the head piece of a car seat, so that falloff of the clothes hanger bracket by pulling is not possible. Each of the mounting units is composed of a rod holder, an extended bar and a control member. The rod holders are for respectively holding a head piece rod of the head piece of a car seat, They are connected to the control members by the extended bars. The extended bars, the rod holders and the control members are respectively provided with a insertion hole, so that a through hole can be formed in each of the mounting units; the through hole is for receiving an extended rod from the hanger part. The control members and the extended rods are further provided with locking mechanisms, so that the rods can be secured in the mounting units.
- The secondary objective of the present invention is to provided an automobile clothes hanger bracket wherein the mounting units are replaceable when they are broken. Since the mounting units are separated from the hanger part, the replacement can be done without any difficulty.
- The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automobile clothes hanger bracket of the prior art. -
FIG. 2 is a front view of the automobile clothes hanger bracket in Fgi. 1 and its A-A cross-sectional view. -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a local region of the present invention and its A-A cross-sectional view. -

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the present invention mounted on the back of a car seat. -
FIG. 6 illustrates the securing mechanism of the present invention with a car seat. - Referring to
FIG. 3, 4 , 5 and 6, an automobile clothes hanger bracket according to the present invention comprises ahanger part 20 having two extendedrods identical mounting units 30. The extendedrods locking notch 23, and themounting units 30 each further include arod holder 32, anextended bar 31 and acontrol member 33. Each of therod holders 32 is a hollow cylinder having an axial through hole for holding ahead piece rod 3. Theextended bars 31 are each provided with an axially extendedinsertion hole 330. Thecontrol members 33 are substantially hollow bodies each with a closed bottom side. The hollow portions of thecontrol member 33form insertion holes 330, which are connected to theinsertion holes 310 of the extendedbars 31. The upper section of the inner wall of theinsertion hole 330 of eachcontrol member 33 is provided with alocking flange 34. A spring and acontrol knob 36 are disposed within each of thecontrol member 33. Thecontrol knobs 36 are each provided with athrough hole 360 that corresponds to theinsertion hole 330 of thecontrol member 33 and theinsertion hole 310 of an extendedbar 31. Ablock 39 is formed at the bottom end of each of the throughholes 360. Each of theblocks 39 is provided with aninsertion section 37 for receiving aspring 35. The bottom end of each of thecontrol knobs 36 is provided with aslit 38. As thecontrol knobs 36 are inserted into thecontrol members 33, theblocks 39 are respectively secured by thelocking flanges 34 of thecontrol members 33, thereby prohibiting thecontrol knobs 36 from leaving thecontrol members 33. Pushing thecontrol knob 36 of acontrol member 33 downward, thethrough hole 360 thereof can be aligned with theinsertion hole 330 of thecontrol member 33 and theinsertion hole 310 of theextended bars 31, so that an extended rod (21 or 22) can be inserted through. Without pushing acontrol knob 36, the associatedspring 35 urges thecontrol knob 36 upward, and the throughhole 360, theinsertion hole 330 and theinsertion hole 310 are not connected. - To use the automobile clothes hanger bracket, the
head piece 2 is firstly removed from thecar seat 1, as shown inFIG. 4 . (A). Thehead piece rods 3 of thehead piece 2 are each inserted through arod holder 32 of amounting unit 30 and then into thecar seat 1, as shown inFIG. 4 . (B). To hang clothes, thecontrol knobs 36 of thecontrol members 33 are firstly pressed downward so that the throughholes 360 thereof are aligned with theinsertion holes 330 of thecontrol members 33 and theinsertion holes 310 ofextended bars 31. The extendedrods hanger part 20 are then inserted into theinsertion holes 330 of thecontrol members 33, theinsertion holes 310 ofextended bars 31 and the throughholes 360 ofcontrol knobs 36. Thecontrol knobs 36 are then released, and thesprings 35 urge thecontrol knobs 36 upward, so that theblocks 39 of thecontrol knobs 36 are engaged with thelocking notches 23 of theextended rods extended rods mounting units 30. The above operation are illustrated in FIGS. 6(A) and (B). To remove thehanger part 20, thecontrol knobs 36 are pushed downward again, so that theblocks 39 are departed from thelocking notches 23; therefore, theextended rods mounting units 30. - According to the aforesaid description, the present invention has at least the following advantages. Even if the
hanger part 20 is not used, themounting units 30 can stayed on thehead piece rods 3 of acar seat 1. Thereby, thehanger part 20 does not occupy the car space. Since therod holders 32 of themounting units 30 entirely hold thehead piece rods 3, it is not possible that the automobile clothes hanger bracket would fall off thecar seat 1 by external dragging. Since thehanger part 20 and themounting units 30 are separated, abroken mounting unit 30 can be replaced alone, without wasting the whole automobile clothes hanger bracket. Mounting and dismounting of thehanger part 20 is simply achieved by pressing thecontrol knobs 36 of themounting units 30. - The present invention is thus described, and it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
