Clothes-hanging device

Abstract

A clothes-hanging device includes a fixed seat having pivot and support pins, and a support rod connected pivotally to the fixed seat and having an elongate pivot hole receiving the pivot pin. The support rod is pivotable about the pivot pin to move to a used state in which the support rod projects from the fixed seat in a cantilever fashion, or to a non-used state in which the support rod is hung downwardly from the fixed seat, or is folded upwardly to extend over the fixed seat. When the support rod is in the used state, the support pin abuts against and presses a top side of a first end of the support rod, and a pull member is fixed to the fixed seat, and is connected releasably to a second end of the support rod.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to a clothes-hanging device, more particularly to a clothes-hanging device that can be stored easily and that maintains the spacing of clothes hang thereon.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a conventional clothes-hanging device 1 is shown to comprise two spaced-apart supporting rods 11 fixed to a wall 21, and a cross bar 12 disposed between the supporting rods 11 for hanging clothes. In use, the clothes 22 are first placed on respective hangers 23, after which the hangers 23 are hung on the cross bar 12.[0005]Although the conventional clothes-hanging device 1 can achieve its intended purpose, it has the following drawbacks:[0006]1. Since the cross bar 12 is very long and is not retractable, it is difficult to remove the cross bar 12 from the supporting rods 11 for storage. Further, since the supporting rods 11 are fixed to the wall 21, it is also difficult to...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a clothes-hanging device that is capable of overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art.

[0009]According to this invention, a clothes-hanging device comprises a fixed seat, a support rod, and a pull member. The fixed seat is adapted to be fixed on a support, and has a pivot pin and a support pin that is disposed above the pivot pin. The support rod is connected pivotally to the fixed seat, and has opposite first and second ends, an elongate pivot hole formed in the first end and receiving the pivot pin, and a plurality of hanging holes spaced apart along a longitudinal direction of the support rod. The support rod is pivotable about the pivot pin to move to a used state in which the support rod projects from the fixed seat in a c

Problems solved by technology

1. Since the cross bar 12 is very long and is not retractable, it is difficult to remove the cross bar 12 from the supporting rods 11 for storage. Further, since the supporting rods 11 are fixed to the wall 21, it is also difficult to remove them from the wall 21 for storage.

2. Since the cross bar 12 is not provided with positioning means to position the respective hangers 23, when there is a strong wind, the clothes 22 are likely to move either close to each other so that the clothes 22 do not easily dry, or away from each other so that hanging space is wasted.
