FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a disposable hanger, and more particularly, to an auxiliary hanging member for a disposable hanger that is provided with a pants hanging bar and an upper garment hanging bar injection-molded with a synthetic resin in such a manner as to be detachably mounted to the disposable hanger.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Generally, a hanger is a tool for hanging clothes thereon, and it is classified into a stand type hanger, a wall hanger, and an individual hanger in accordance with the structure thereof.
In this case, the individual hanger is used to hang suits, casual dresses, or coats thereon.
There are various kinds of individual hanger in accordance with their use purposes. For example, hangers for suits, hangers for casual dresses or shirts, and hangers for coats are provided in a variety of shapes.
General hangers used in the houses are appropriately selected from the individual hangers in accordance with a user's needs, but the hangers used generally in laundries are disposable hangers as disposable products provided to users.
Since the disposable hangers used in the laundries are the disposable products provided to the users, accordingly, they are made at substantially low costs, and generally, they are made by binding a wire on which a film is coated.
However, the conventional disposable hangers are made simply of a thin wire, and accordingly, if clothes are hung on the disposable hangers, the clothes may be easily wrinkled, thus making the users feel uncomfortable.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an auxiliary hanging member for a disposable hanger according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing the auxiliary hanging member of FIG. 1.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a disposable hanger 10 is made of a wire and includes a horizontal bar 12 extended horizontally on which pants are hung, inclined bars 14 bent inwardly to a given angle from both ends of the horizontal bar 12, on which the shoulder portions of an upper garment are hung, and a hook 16 extended from any one of the inclined bars 14.
On the other hand, an auxiliary hanging member for the disposable hanger 10 according to the present invention includes a pants hanging bar 20 and an upper garment hanging bar 30 detachably fitted to the horizontal bar 12 and the inclined bars 14, respectively.
While pants or upper garments are being hung on the disposable hanger 10, they may be wrinkled due to relatively thin thickness of the disposable hanger 10, and therefore, the auxiliary hanging member is provided to prevent the pants and upper garments from being easily wrinkled.
The auxiliary hanging member for the disposable hanger 10 according to the present invention includes the pants hanging bar 20 and the upper garment hanging bar 30.
The pants hanging bar 20 is mounted on the horizontal bar 12 of the disposable hanger 10 and serves to prevent the pants hung on the horizontal bar 12 from being wrinkled.
The pants hanging bar 20 is molded to the sectional shape of ‘A’ so as to have an area larger than the thickness of the horizontal bar 12 of the disposable hanger 10 and has an insertion space 22 formed at the inside thereof so as to insert the horizontal bar 12 of the disposable hanger 10 thereinto, having an open lower end.
The pants hanging bar 20 has resilient hooks 24 provided at both upper portions of the insertion space 22 thereof, and if the horizontal bar 12 of the disposable hanger 10 is inserted into the insertion space 22 of the pants hanging bar 22, the resilient hooks 24 are resiliently locked to the horizontal bar 12 to detachably fix the pants hanging bar 20 to the horizontal bar 12.
The pants hanging bar 20 may be molded with various materials, and according to the present invention, desirably, the pants hanging bar 20 is injection-molded with a synthetic resin, so that it can be repeatedly used for other disposable hangers, thus enhancing the recycling effects of resources.
The upper garment hanging bar 30 is mounted on the inclined bars 14 of the disposable hanger 10 and serves to prevent the upper garment like a shirt hung on the inclined bars 14 from being wrinkled.
The upper garment hanging bar 30 is molded to the sectional shape of ‘A’ so as to have an area larger than the thicknesses of the inclined bars 14 of the disposable hanger 10 and has an insertion space 32 formed at the inside thereof so as to insert the inclined bars 14 of the disposable hanger 10 thereinto, having an open lower end and an opening 36 formed at the center of the top end thereof so as to pass the hook 16 of the disposable hanger 10 therethrough when the upper garment hanging bar 30 is mounted on the inclined bars 14 of the disposable hanger 10.
The upper garment hanging bar 30 has resilient hooks 34 provided at both upper portion of the insertion space 32 thereof, and if the inclined bars 14 of the disposable hanger 10 are inserted into the insertion space 32 of the upper garment hanging bar 30, the resilient hooks 34 are resiliently locked to the inclined bars 14 to detachably fix the upper garment hanging bar 30 to the inclined bars 14.
The upper garment hanging bar 30 may be molded with various materials, and according to the present invention, desirably, the upper garment hanging bar 30 is injection-molded with a synthetic resin, so that it can be repeatedly used for other disposable hangers, thus enhancing the recycling effects of resources.
Particularly, if the pants hanging bar 20 and the upper garment hanging bar 30 are attached to the disposable hanger 10, they can reinforce the strength of the disposable hanger 10 made of just a wire, and even if heavy clothes like suits are hung thereon, the disposable hanger 10 is not bent or deformed.
On the other hand, the auxiliary hanging member including the pants hanging bar 20 and the upper garment hanging bar 30 can be all attached to the disposable hanger 10. However, if it is necessary to hang pants on the disposable hanger 10, only the pants hanging bar 20 is attached to the horizontal bar 12 of the disposable hanger 10, and if it is necessary to hang an upper garment on the disposable hanger 10, only the upper garment hanging bar 30 is attached to the inclined bars 14 of the disposable hanger 10.
Hereinafter, an explanation on the operation of the auxiliary hanging member for the disposable hanger according to the present invention will be given with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
If it is desired to hang an upper garment on the disposable hanger 10, as shown in FIG. 3, the inclined bars 14 of the disposable hanger 10 are first inserted into the insertion space 32 of the upper garment hanging bar 30, and the resilient hooks 34 mounted on the upper side of the insertion space 32 are resiliently locked to the inclined bars 14 to fix the upper garment hanging bar 30 thereto, so that the upper garment like a shirt is hung on the inclined bars 14 inserted into the insertion space 32 of the upper garment hanging bar 30, thus preventing wrinkling.
Further, if it is desired to hang pants on the disposable hanger 10, as shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal bar 12 of the disposable hanger 10 is first inserted into the insertion space 22 of the pants hanging bar 20, and the resilient hooks 24 mounted on the upper side of the insertion space 22 are resiliently locked to the horizontal bar 12 to fix the pants hanging bar 20 thereto, so that the pants are hung on the horizontal bar 12 inserted into the insertion space 22 of the pants hanging bar 20, thus preventing wrinkling.
According to the present invention, the pants hanging bar and the upper garment hanging bar are mounted on the horizontal bar and the inclined bars of the disposable hanger, thus preventing the pants and the upper garment from being wrinkled thereon, and further, they are injection-molded with the synthetic resin, so that they can be reusably detachably mounted on the disposable hanger, thus enhancing the recycling effects of resources and the practicability thereof. Furthermore, they are mounted on the disposable hanger, and accordingly, the disposable hanger can be semi-permanently used, thus reducing the consumption of resources.
While the present invention will be described with reference to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiment but only by the appended claims. It is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art can change or modify the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
