Description

Coat hanger with trouser hanger function

It is related to hangers, and more specifically, to hangers having a trouser hanger function.

Hangers are used a lot in everyday life. Hangers are usually used as coat hangers, and trouser hangers may be provided in the form of a bar at the bottom, or trouser hangers in the form of tongs may exist as a separate product. The bar-shaped trouser hanger is pressed against the pants by the weight of the bar, causing severe fold marks on the pants.

Among the types of trouser hangers, there are cases in which pants are less likely to be folded through two or more bars, but in most cases, pants are stored in a form folded in half, which is bulky when stored in a closet. In order to solve these inconveniences, it is necessary to improve the trouser hanger to save storage space and leave less wrinkles or pinch marks on the pants.

When pants are hung and stored, a hanger having a pants hanger function is provided that minimizes deformation of the pants after storage compared to before storage and reduces storage space. The pants hanger part is detachably combined with the coat hanger part to increase utilization. Multiple hangers are combined in a cascade to increase utilization. In addition, the width of the shoulder space is varied to correspond to various widths and heights of wardrobes, carrier bags, or boxes for storing clothes. In addition, the hook at the top of the hanger can be folded or removed, giving various uses. In addition, the present invention responds to various problems and will be described in detail later.

Hangers are presented. According to one embodiment, the hanger includes an upper garment hanger part and a lower garment hanger part that is detachably coupled to a fastening part included in the upper hanger part and is rotatable with the fastening part as an axis. The rotatable bottom hanging part is a structure that contributes to reducing the volume and reducing the deformation of clothing by rolling clothes such as pants, skirts, skirts, and towels like a reel or bobbin that winds tissue paper or a kite line.

According to one embodiment, the lower hanger part can rotate more than 360 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise, preferably infinitely, around the fastening part as an axis, while wrapping the clothes around as mentioned above make it possible to keep

According to one embodiment, the upper and lower hanging parts are coupled in a male-female coupling method. For example, the fastening part of the upper hanger part may be in the form of a male protruding part, and the lower hanging part may be in the form of a female hole so that the protrusion can be inserted and rotated. However, it is also possible for the male and female processing to be provided in reverse.

According to one embodiment, the protruding part of the hanger part of the hand-processed coat may be a plurality of wings. These wing parts may have bending elasticity. In addition, the plurality of wings may be spaced apart, and as the plurality of wings are bent, the outer spacing of the wings is reduced from the initial distance, so that the fastening part (a plurality of wings) is fitted in the hole. By being male and female coupled to the hole, the lower hanging part is fixed to the upper hanging part. And after fixing, the lower hanging part can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with the fastening part as a rotating axis like a reel or bobbin as described above.

According to one embodiment, an appropriate rotational frictional force is generated so that the lower hanging part does not freely rotate without an external force. As described above, the plurality of wings are inserted into the hole while being bent, and the restoring force to restore the original shape by unfolding the wings again provides such frictional force. In addition, this restoring force also generates a frictional force to support the fastening part so that it does not fall out of the hole. Accordingly, such a fastening structure prevents the lower hanging part from being too easily separated (separated) from the fastening part of the upper hanging part or free rotation without external force. Of course, if the user intends to apply force in the rotational direction, the clothes hung on the lower hanging part can be rolled up by turning at an appropriate angle, and if the user intentionally applies force to separate the lower hanging part from the upper hanging part, both sides of the upper hanging part As it opens, the fastening part may fall out of the hole and the hanging part of the lower body may fall out.

There are several advantages of missing the bottom hanger part. In a state where the lower hanger part is separated from the upper hanger part, it is easy to wind the clothes around the lower hanger part. For example, if you hold the bottom hanger part with your hand and turn it around by inserting the hem of the pants, it is convenient because the degree of freedom of movement is high. In addition, it is easy to store because the volume is reduced when collecting only the hanger parts of the bottom with clothes wrapped and putting them in a travel carrier or putting them in a box for storing out-of-season clothes. In addition, since the lower hanger part is molded separately during manufacturing, there are advantages in the manufacturing process, and it is possible to separately package and sell products (hangers) when packaging and selling them, which has several advantages. In addition, the bottom hanger part is separated and detachable from the upper hanger part as needed may have various advantages.

Meanwhile, the shape of the lower hanging part may be implemented in various ways. According to one embodiment, the lower hanging part includes a bar that is coaxial with the fastening part and serves as a central axis of rotation, and a set of bars symmetrically disposed on both sides with respect to the central axis of rotation. It has the aforementioned reel structure. According to one embodiment, such a three-stage bar shape is also possible, but in another embodiment, at least one of the bars of the rotation center axis and the bars of the symmetrical structure on both sides may be partially separated to form a two-part structure. . Since the hanger part of the bottom is also made of a polymer resin such as plastic and can be bent, this separation form can be disadvantageous in stably supporting the clothes that are rolled up and stored, but it is convenient for setting the first position before winding the clothes. Also, these modified embodiments may be applied.

On the other hand, according to one embodiment, the upper hanger part has a hook disposed at the upper end of the left and right central axis like a normal coat hanger. According to one embodiment, the hook can be rotated 360 degrees like a conventional hanger, and can be folded downward (close to 180 degrees) by a hinge structure. Also, according to one embodiment, the ring may be detached from the upper hanging part in addition to being folded. This folding or removal of the hook provides advantageous usability when carrying it in a carrier bag or putting it in a storage box while wearing out-of-season clothes.

According to one embodiment, the upper hanger part includes a pair of sliding parts fastened to both left and right sides. Illustratively, but not limitedly, the sliding part is fastened to rails formed on both left and right sides of the upper hanger part and deployed in a sliding manner, or returned to the original position, so that the left and right widths of the upper hanger part are variable. It can be. In addition to the advantage of being able to hang tops with various shoulder widths according to the size, this variability of width provides the advantage of adjusting the volume when putting it in a carrier bag or box, and the packaging advantage of distribution of the hanger itself.

According to one embodiment, a feature is provided to prevent the sliding part from slipping loose and unintentionally deploying or returning to its original position. This characteristic may be due to structure and/or may be due to material.

According to one embodiment, the sliding part has a tunnel structure having elasticity, and frictional force may be generated during the sliding by being inserted into and fastened to the rail slightly larger than the diameter of the tunnel structure. Due to this frictional force, the sliding part that adjusts the width of the shoulder is minimized inadvertently sliding and moving, and is adjusted and fixed according to the user's intention.

According to another embodiment, a material approach can be added to or replaced by this structural approach. In this case, the sliding part has a tunnel structure, and the inner surface of the tunnel structure and the surface of the rail can be made of different materials. there is. For example, the inside of the tunnel structure is coated with rubber or silicone with high frictional force.

According to embodiments, since clothing that easily wrinkles, such as long pants and skirts, is stored rolled up, deformation—eg, creases or pinch marks—is minimized. In addition, due to the rolled up storage, the clothes do not flow down during storage and the storage space is minimized. The structure of the coupling part where the lower part is fastened to the upper part is also designed to have a fixing force that is neither too large nor too small in the rotating direction while helping attachment and detachment, so that unintentional rotation of the lower part can be prevented.

On the other hand, according to embodiments, since the lower hanger part is detachably coupled to the upper hanger part, it is easy to store hangers that are not in use, and depending on the type of clothing, it is also possible to roll the lower part in advance and then combine it with the upper hanger. Ease of use increases.

In addition, according to embodiments, other hangers can be cascade-coupled to the connector of an already hung hanger even when the space for hanging hangers - for example, nails driven into the wall - is less than the number of hangers, or when there is not enough space for rods in the closet. to increase usability.

Furthermore, since the shoulder portion of the hanger is variable in a sliding manner, even an empty hanger or a hanger with clothing is variable in width and height to correspond to wardrobes, carrier bags, or storage boxes of various sizes, increasing utilization. Since the frictional force of the sliding part is appropriately maintained by the structural and/or material structure of the sliding part, unintentional unfolding and slipping of clothes can be prevented. The effects described above are exemplary, and the effects of the present invention are not limited to those described above. The various contents are described later.

6 is a view for explaining how the trouser hanger part 120 rotates with the fastening part 115 as an axis according to an embodiment, and FIG. 7 is in actual use, the pants hanger part 120 It is a drawing to explain the process of hanging and rotating to reduce the volume and store. See FIGS. 6 and 7 together.

According to one embodiment, the lower hanging part 120 detachably coupled to the fastening part 115 formed in the upper hanging part 110 of the hanger 100 is rotated in both directions indicated by arrows in FIG. 6 . As described above, the lower hanging part 120 is rotatable around the fastening part 115 as an axis, such as wrapping tissue paper on a roll or wrapping a string around a reel or bobbin, pants, Clothing, such as skirts, skirts, and towels, is rolled up and stored on the hanger part 120 of the lower garment to provide functionality. In this way, the volume of clothes stored around the lower hanger part 120 is reduced, and the deformation of the clothes before and after storage is greatly reduced. When the bottoms are hung on the bottom hanger bar of a general coat hanger, the weight of the bottoms is concentrated on the part in contact with the bar, which puts a strain on the fabric. Since the is dispersed in several places, deformation or damage to the fabric is greatly reduced.

In this way, clothing, for example, pants, can be hung on the lower hanging part 120 in the order of steps 710 to 730 . First, in step 710, when the hem of the trousers is put on a part of the lower hanging part, and then clockwise or counterclockwise, the trousers start to be wound as in step 720. And if the rotation continues in the same direction, the pants are wound shorter as in step 730. Depending on how short the fabric is wound and the storage space, the user can adjust it according to the situation.

In this way, it is possible to store or store/move it only in a state of being wound around the lower hanging part 120. In that state, if the bottom hanger part 120 with the pants wrapped therein is inserted into the upper hanger part 110 and fastened, the process goes directly to step 730 of FIG. 7 .

8 is a side view of a hanger 100 according to an embodiment, and is a view for explaining the cascading connector 103, and FIG. 9 shows a plurality of hangers connected and hung through the cascading connector 103. show the appearance

As in the illustrated embodiment, the hanger 100 protrudes from the bottom of the hook 101 and has a cascading connector 103 that allows hooks of other hangers to be hung. As shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of hangers 100 are chained in a cascading connector 103-hook 101-cascading connector 103-hook 101 type, so that the hanger 100 ) to be hung—for example, nails driven into the wall—when the number of hangers is less than the number of hangers, or when there is not enough space for rods in the closet, other hangers can be cascade-coupled to the connectors of already hung hangers. Therefore, the space utilization is high.

FIG. 10 illustrates a state in which the lower hanging part 120 is removed from the upper hanging part 110 and the structure of the fastening part 115 according to one embodiment.

As shown, the fastening part 115 of the upper hanger part 110 is composed of a plurality of male-processed wings (the shape does not mean wings, but is protrusions protruding from the upper hanger part 110). should be understood). These wings may have bending elasticity. In addition, the plurality of wings may be spaced apart, and as the plurality of wings are bent, the outer spacing of the wings is reduced from the initial distance, thereby forming a female hole 116 in the lower hanging part 120 It can be combined in the form of being inserted into. Then, the lower hanging part 120 is fastened to the upper hanging part 110 . And after fastening, the lower hanging part can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with the fastening part as a rotating axis like a reel as described above.

According to one embodiment, an appropriate rotational frictional force is generated so that the lower hanging part 120 does not freely rotate without an external force. As described above, the plurality of wings constituting the fastening part 115 are inserted into the hole 116 while being bent, and the restoring force to restore the original shape by unfolding the wings provides such frictional force. In addition, this restoring force also generates a frictional force that prevents the fastening part 115 from coming out of the hole 116. Accordingly, this fastening structure prevents the lower hanging part 120 from being too easily separated (separated) from the fastening part 115 of the upper hanging part 110 or spinning without external force. Of course, if the user intends to apply force in the rotational direction, the clothes hung on the lower hanging part can be rolled up by turning at an appropriate angle, and if the user intentionally applies force to separate the lower hanging part from the upper hanging part, both sides of the upper hanging part As it opens, the fastening part may fall out of the hole and the hanging part of the lower body may fall out.

As shown in FIG. 10, there are several advantages of the lower hanging part 120 being removed. In a state where the lower hanging part is separated from the upper hanging part 110, it is easy to wind the clothes around the lower hanging part. For example, if you hold the bottom hanger part with your hand and turn it around by inserting the hem of the pants, it is convenient because the degree of freedom of movement is high. In addition, it is easy to store because the volume is reduced when only the hanger parts of the lower part with the clothes wrapped are collected and put in a travel carrier or stored in a box for storing out-of-season clothes. In addition, since the lower hanger part is molded separately during manufacturing, there are advantages in the manufacturing process, and it is possible to separately package and sell products (hangers) when packaging and selling them, which has several advantages. In addition, the bottom hanger part is separated and detachable from the upper hanger part as needed may have various advantages.

11 is a view for explaining various uses of hangers according to an embodiment.

Referring to the front view 1110 and the side view 1120 together, it can be seen that the clothing 1101, which can be a towel or scarf, is rolled up. In addition to pants or skirts, any clothing that is convenient to store rolled up, such as towels, scarves, mufflers, ties, etc., can be stored as shown in FIG. 11 . Therefore, if you go on a trip and there is no separate towel rack in your accommodation, it is possible to make a towel rack with this utilization.

According to the above-described embodiments, even clothes that easily wrinkle, such as long pants and skirts, are stored rolled up, so deformation or damage is minimized. In addition, due to the rolled up storage, the clothes do not flow down during storage and the storage space is minimized.

The hanger according to the described embodiment can be used for various purposes. Therefore, other uses than those described by exemplifying the drawings are possible. In addition, although described by the limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations from these descriptions.
