Description
- (a) Technical Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates a cabinet and more particularly, to a hanging cabinet that can be hung inside a wardrobe or on an overhead place to keep clothes or other things.
- (b) Description of the Prior Art
- Due to limited house space, people may hang a hanging cabinet on the back side of the door panel of the door of the kitchen or a wall inside a room for keeping small items. A conventional hanging cabinet is known comprising a body shell formed of tough and flexible sheet material (for example, canvass) and arranged around the top, bottom left and right sides, and a plurality of partition members arranged in the body shell at different elevations to divide the holding space of the body shell into having a plurality of front-open compartments for keeping things. A top opening may be formed in the top side of the body shell for the mounting of a hanger for hanging on a hanging rod inside a wardrobe or at a wall. Hook and loop materials may be used to secure the hanging cabinet to a hanging rod inside a wardrobe or at a wall. According to the aforesaid conventional design, the front-open compartments of the hanging cabinet each have a flat bottom wall that is kept in horizontal. Storage items may protrude over the front side of the front-open compartments, destructing the sense of beauty of the hanging cabinet. Further, storage items may fall out of the front-open compartments when the hanging cabinet is vibrated accidentally, Further, after installation of the hanging cabinet, the user cannot rotate the hanging cabinet through 360-degrees. This limitation narrows the application of the hanging cabinet.
- The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a hanging cabinet, which keeps storage items in a neat status. It is another object of the present invention to provide a hanging cabinet, which prevents storage items from falling out accidentally. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a hanging cabinet, which has added side storage space for holding things.
- To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, the hanging cabinet comprises a cabinet body, which defines therein a plurality of storage compartments each having an opening and a sloping bottom wall sloping backwardly downwards from the respective opening toward the respective inner side, and a plurality of pockets symmetrically provided at two opposite lateral sides of the cabinet body. The pockets may be fastened to the cabinet with stitches, hook and loop materials, or snaps. Further, a swivel hook is provided at the top side of the cabinet body for hanging. By means of the swivel hook, the hanging cabinet can be hung on a rod member inside a wardrobe and freely rotated through 360-degrees.
- The foregoing object and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.
- Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hanging cabinet according to a first embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an alternate form of the hanging cabinet according to the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another alternate form of the hanging cabinet according to the present invention. -

FIG. 5B is a side view of the top hook according to the present invention. - The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a hanging cabinet in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention is shown comprising acabinet body 1 made out of a tough and flexible sheet material (for example, canvass). Thecabinet body 1 has twovertical side panels 11, a verticalmiddle partition panel 12 connected between the twovertical side panels 11 on the middle, and a plurality oftransverse partition panels 13 respectively symmetrically connected between the twovertical side panels 11 at two opposite sides of the verticalmiddle partition panel 12 at different elevations. Eachtransverse partition panel 13 defines with the twovertical side panels 11 and the vertical middle partition panel 12 a storageopen chamber 10 for keeping things. One or a number of smallvertical partition panels 17 may be installed in each storageopen chamber 10 to divide the respective storageopen chamber 10 into multiple small storage open chambers (see FIG 1). Further, eachtransverse partition panel 13 slopes downwardly backwards toward the verticalmiddle partition panel 12 at a sloping angle, for example, 45-degrees. Therefore, each storageopen chamber 10 has a sloping bottom wall sloping downwardly inwards toward the inner side to prevent falling of storage items upon vibration of the hanging cabinet accidentally. Thetransverse partition panels 13 may be arranged in parallel. Alternatively, thetransverse partition panels 13 can be set at different sloping angles. Further, thepartition panels 13 can be fixedly fastened to thevertical side panels 11 and the verticalmiddle partition panel 12 with stitches, hook and loop materials, snaps, or any of a variety of fastening means. - Further, a covering 14 is prepared from a flexible sheet material (canvass, meshed cloth) and fixedly fastened to the outer side of each
vertical side panel 11 of thecabinet body 1 and stitched withtransverse seam lines 142 andvertical seam lines 143, thereby forming a plurality ofpockets 141 for keeping things. Thetransverse seam lines 142 can be made sloping in one direction as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , or in horizontal as shown inFIG. 3 . - Further, the
side bag 14 can be fastened to thecabinet body 1 with hook and loop materials, snaps, or any suitable fastening means. - Further, a
hanging plate 15 is provided at the top side of the verticalmiddle partition panel 12. Thehanging plate 15 has atop hook 2 for hanging on arod member 3. - Referring to
FIGS. 5A and 5B , thetop hook 2 is pivotally coupled to aholder frame 23 that is fastened to arod 16 at the top side of thehanging plate 15. Bending a metal plate member into a predetermined shape, having a throughhole 231, makes theholder frame 23. Before bending the metal plate member into shape to form theholder frame 23, thehook 2 is inserted through the throughhole 231 with the expandedendpiece 21 thereof stopped at one side of the metal plate member. Further, awasher 22 is mounted on thehook 2 and stopped between the expandedendpiece 21. After insertion of thehook 2 through the throughhole 231, the metal plate member is bent into shape around therod 16 at the top side of thehanging plate 15. When installed, thetop hook 2 can be rotated through 360-degrees relative to thehanging plate 15. - Referring to
FIG. 4 andFIGS. 1-3 again, because the storageopen chambers 10 and thepockets 141 respectively downwardly slope toward the respective inner side, storage items can be well kept inside the storageopen chambers 10 and thepockets 141 and will not fall out of the storageopen chambers 10 or thepockets 141 when the hanging cabinet is oscillated or shaken by an external force accidentally. - It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
- While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. I claim:
