Abstract
A hanging structure includes a hanging belt, which has a plurality of longitudinally spaced hanging holes for hanging things, and double-end hanging hooks for securing the hanging belt to a support.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates a hanging structure for hanging things and more particularly, to such a hanging structure that can conveniently be fastened to a support for hanging wall organizers.

- Various wall organizers have been disclosed for hanging on a door panel for holding magazines, books, newspapers, etc. When hanging a wall organizer on the panel of the door of a toilet, the wall organizer can be used to hold toiletries, hair grooming and hairstyling implements, clothes, etc. Regular wall organizers are commonly made of canvass and provided with back hooks for hanging. During mounting of a wall organizer, the back hooks of the wall organizer are directly hooked on the top edge of the panel of a door. However, due to limited mounting space, the top edge of the panel of a door cannot support many wall organizers.
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a hanging structure, which can conveniently fastened to the door panel of a door for hanging wall organizers and any of a variety of hanging objects. It is another object of the present invention to provide a hanging structure, which can conveniently fastened to a hanging rod for hanging things. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a hanging structure, which can be affixed to a wall for hanging things. To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, the hanging structure comprises a hanging belt, which has a plurality of longitudinally spaced hanging holes, and a plurality of hanging hooks for securing the hanging belt to the panel of a door in vertical or suspending the hanging belt from an overhead hanging rod.
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a hanging structure according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 shows an application example of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 corresponds toFIG. 2 , showing a wall organizer connectable to the vertically extended hanging belts at the door panel. -
FIG. 4 corresponds toFIG. 2 , showing different wall organizers hung on the hanging belts. -
FIG. 5 shows another application example of the present invention. -
FIG. 6 shows still another application example of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , a hanging structure in accordance with the present invention is shown comprised of ahanging belt 1 and at least onehanging hook 2. Thehanging belt 1 is a narrow flat belt made of knitted or woven fabric, comprising two longitudinalside belt elements 11, multiple sets oftransverse belt elements 12 respectively connected between the longitudinalside belt elements 11, and a plurality of hangingholes 13 defined between the longitudinalside belt elements 11 and each two adjacent set oftransverse belt elements 12. According to this embodiment, three transverse belt elements form one set oftransverse belt elements 12 for supporting a heavy load. - The hanging
hook 2 is S-shaped double-end hook made of rigid material, for example, metal wire rod or metal plate material, having two hookedportions 21 respectively extended from the two ends in reversed directions. -
FIG. 2 shows an application example of the present invention. As illustrated, handinghooks 2 are respectively hooked on the ends of twohanging belts 1 and the top and bottom edges of adoor panel 3 to secure thehanging belts 1 to thedoor panel 3 in vertical. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 and 4 andFIG. 2 again,wall organizers 4 may be hung on the twoparallel hanging belts 1 for holding things. Thewall organizers 4 may be made in any of a variety of forms each having twoback hooks 42 for hanging on the hangingholes 13 of thehanging belts 1 and at least onefront pocket 41 for holding things. -
FIG. 5 shows another application example of the present invention. As illustrated, hanginghooks 2 are hooked on ahorizontal hanging rod 5 to suspendhanging belts 1 from thehorizontal hanging rod 5 for hanging. -
FIG. 6 shows still another application example of the present invention. As illustrated, thehanging belts 1 horizontally affixed to avertical wall 6 with fastening devices, for example, nails (not shown) for hanging any of a variety ofwall organizers 4. - Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
