Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothes hangers, and more particularly to a clothes hanger and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] A clothes rack is a frame used to hang clothes. The *Luban Jing Jiang Jing* mentions two types: plain clothes racks and ornate clothes racks, which were less common in the outside world. The clothes racks of that time differed from those of today. Modern clothes racks mostly use hooks or branches, with clothes typically hung from the collar on the hooks.

[0003] Ancient clothes racks, including those from the Qing Dynasty, mostly used a horizontal bar design with uprights on both sides, supported by wooden bases at the top and bottom. A horizontal board or stretcher connected the bases, and a crossbeam was attached to the top of each upright, extending beyond the uprights at both ends, often carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, lingzhi mushrooms, or cloud motifs. A central plaque with openwork decoration was placed below the horizontal bar, primarily for securing the garment. Clothes were draped over the horizontal bar after being taken off.

[0004] Modern clothes hangers come in a wide variety of types and are no longer just used for drying clothes. They are also used to display clothes in clothing stores, showrooms, and other places, allowing consumers to appreciate the beauty of clothing designs from all angles.

[0005] Chinese patent application number 201910701476.0 discloses a hanger production apparatus and method. The hanger production apparatus includes a first base plate, a lifting plate, a tube separation and positioning device, and a tube clamping device. The first base plate is fixedly installed. The lifting plate is movable relative to the first base plate, and its movement is driven by a first cylinder. The tube separation and positioning device separates the tubes one by one and transports them to a clamping station for positioning. Two tube clamping devices are symmetrically installed on the lifting plate. Each tube clamping device includes two symmetrically arranged slides, each slide plate being equipped with a tube clamping knife and a spreading member. The slides are movable horizontally relative to the lifting plate, and their movement is driven by a second cylinder. The tube clamping knife is fixedly installed relative to the slides. The spreading member is movable horizontally relative to the slides, and its movement is driven by a third cylinder. This hanger production apparatus and method can automatically assemble and fix wire frames and tubes, achieving high efficiency and good fixing quality. The clothes hanger proposed in the above invention belongs to the conventional clothes hanger and its production device and method. Based on meeting more usage requirements, the applicant has made improvements and innovations to propose a clothes hanger with a different structure. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, based on the above concept, this invention proposes a clothes hanger that solves the technical problem that existing clothes hangers cannot perfectly present the shape of clothes when hung. A method for producing this clothes hanger is also proposed based on the same concept.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a clothes hanger, comprising a support base and a hook component, wherein the support base and the hook component are rotatably connected;

[0008] A hook component includes an integrally formed hook portion and an extension portion. The free end of the hook portion is provided with an elastic anti-drop plate. The angle between the anti-drop plate and the horizontal plane is 20°-30°, and the anti-drop plate points towards the extension portion. The hook component has a hollow structure and a first flow cavity is provided inside. A locking groove is provided on the hook portion and extends through the first flow cavity. A top plate is provided in the first flow cavity and is located directly above the locking groove. The top plate is connected to the inner wall of the first flow cavity by a spring and abuts against the locking groove under the elastic force of the spring.

[0009] The support base includes a main support part and secondary support parts symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main support part. The secondary support parts are rotatably connected to the main support part. A flexible sealing sleeve is fitted at the connection position between the main support part and the secondary support part. A vent is provided at the free end of the secondary support part. The support base is a hollow structure with a second flow cavity inside.

[0010] A fan and a battery are installed in the second flow cavity. The fan is electrically connected to the battery. The fan switch is integrated into the inner surface of the first flow cavity. When the top plate is moved upward by an external force, the fan switch is triggered, and airflow is generated in the second flow cavity and emitted from the vent.

[0011] Furthermore, the main support is provided with a connecting hole that extends through the second flow cavity. The hook component is provided with a locking protrusion at the free end of the extension. The locking protrusion is a spherical protrusion that is placed inside the second flow cavity. The outer circumferential diameter of the locking protrusion is larger than the diameter of the connecting hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the locking protrusion is covered with a rubber layer.

[0013] Furthermore, an arc-shaped plate is provided on the main support part, and the arc-shaped plate is integrally formed with the main support part.

[0014] Furthermore, the main support is provided with a receiving groove, and the secondary support can be rotated and stored into the receiving groove.

[0015] A method for producing a clothes hanger as described in claim 1, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0016] 1) Production of hook components;

[0017] a. Using a metal stamping device, the metal parts are stamped to form hooks and extensions;

[0018] b. The anti-drop plate is formed in one step on the mold;

[0019] c. Install the anti-fall plate onto the hook part;

[0020] 2) Production support base;

[0021] d. The main support part includes identical front and rear plates, which are formed in one step on the mold. The formed front and rear plates have a rotating shaft.

[0022] e. The secondary support part is formed in one step on the mold, and the formed secondary support part is provided with a rotating hole;

[0023] 3) Assemble the finished product;

[0024] f. A secondary support is placed on the front plate, along with springs, a top plate, a battery, a fan, and hook components. The connection between the front and rear plates is further heated by a hot press plate to melt the connection, thus achieving a thermal fusion connection.

[0025] g. Place the flexible sealing sleeve at the connection between the main support and the secondary support, and heat both ends of the flexible sealing sleeve with a heating device so that one end is bonded to the main support and the other end is bonded to the secondary support.

[0026] Furthermore, in step a, the free ends of the stamped hook and extension are polished to make their surfaces smooth and burr-free.

[0027] Furthermore, after step g is completed, manually turn on the fan to perform a sealing test on the connection between the main support and the secondary support. Check for air bubbles by applying foam water to the flexible sealing sleeve.

[0028] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0029] 1. This invention features a hollow hook structure for existing hangers, with a supporting base connected below. The biggest difference between this structure and existing hangers is the separation of the two components. Existing hangers typically combine the hook and supporting base in a single molding process, rendering the hanger unusable if either component is damaged. Furthermore, some existing hangers are manufactured separately and then assembled. However, in the clothing industry, especially in high-end luxury stores, hangers serve more than just hanging clothes; they also present the flat, unworn state of clothing to consumers in a three-dimensional way. Mannequins maximize the display of clothing in its worn-out form. However, in reality, clothing stores cannot display all their garments on mannequins, as this method places high demands on material and space costs. Generally, ordinary hangers are used, allowing consumers to try on styles they initially like before deciding to purchase. The hanger proposed in this invention, however, features a hollow hook structure. The structure and support base are also hollow, comprising a main support section and a secondary support section. The main support section simulates the human shoulder and upper chest, while the secondary support section simulates the upper half of the human arm. A fan is installed in the second flow cavity of the support base, with its switch located on the hook of the hook component. When the garment is hung on the horizontal bar, the hook contacts the bar, and the bar applies force to the switch on the hook, activating the fan. The airflow generated by the fan is discharged through the vent on the secondary support section, which inflates the sleeves of the garment, making them fuller. Compared to the flat state of ordinary garments, the presence of airflow and the maintenance of a three-dimensional state provide a better shopping experience for consumers, especially for high-end garments. The flat and three-dimensional states offer completely different visual experiences and can even save consumers the time of trying on clothes. When the hanger is removed from the horizontal bar, the switch is closed due to the lack of external force, thus pausing operation and reducing energy consumption. If it is necessary to display the three-dimensional state of the garment immediately, the switch can be activated directly by hand.

[0030] 2. By providing a connecting hole on the main support part, the connecting hole extends through the second flow cavity. A locking protrusion is provided on the free end of the extension part of the hook component. The locking protrusion is a spherical protrusion and is placed in the second flow cavity. The outer circumferential diameter of the locking protrusion is larger than the diameter of the connecting hole. This allows the hook component and the support base to rotate independently. Furthermore, since the connecting hole is a hole-like structure and the locking protrusion is a spherical protrusion, the combination of the two can bring better sealing performance. At the same time, when clothes are hung, the weight of the clothes can make the locking protrusion and the connecting hole fit tightly. That is, when clothes are hung on the hanger, their rotation can be restricted to a certain extent and the airflow generated by the fan can be prevented from leaking out of the gap.

[0031] 3. The outer circumferential surface of the locking protrusion is covered with a rubber layer. The main function of the rubber layer is to improve the sealing between the locking protrusion and the connecting hole. Similarly, when the clothes are placed on the hanger, there will be an interaction force between them. The interaction force can cause the rubber layer to be squeezed and deformed, thereby filling any gaps. At the same time, the rubber layer can ensure that the clothes are less likely to rotate after being hung.

[0032] 4. An arc-shaped plate is provided on the main support part. The arc-shaped plate is integrally formed with the main support part. The function of providing the arc-shaped plate is to further simulate the shape of the human chest and present the three-dimensional state of the whole garment. In conjunction with the airflow generated by the fan, the garment presents a three-dimensional state.

[0033] 5. The main support part is provided with a receiving groove, and the secondary support part can be rotated and stored into the receiving groove. This structure is designed to save space when the clothes hanger needs to be stored and organized when it is not in use.

[0034] 6. In the production process of the clothes hanger, a flexible sealing sleeve is installed between the main support part and the secondary support part. This process can protect the rotating parts of the two parts and seal the connection between them, preventing the airflow generated by the fan in the second flow cavity from overflowing from the gap.

[0035] 7. The surface polishing process of the clothes hanger can remove the burrs on its surface, which is intended to protect the clothes during use. Attached Figure Description
