Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of daily necessities technology, specifically to a flat hanger shoulder protector for protecting the shoulders of clothing and preventing "general shoulders" from forming when hanging clothes on a hanger. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, people commonly use metal or plastic hangers to hang clothes. These hangers have a small contact area with the shoulders of the clothes, resulting in concentrated pressure. Over time, this can easily cause stubborn bulges on the shoulders of clothes, especially high-end garments such as knitwear, suits, and coats, which are often called "general shoulders" and seriously affect the appearance and shape of the clothes.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as wide-shoulder hangers or foam hangers, attempt to solve this problem. While wide-shoulder hangers increase the contact area, their fixed shape makes storage extremely inconvenient and takes up a lot of space. Foam hangers or sponge covers, although softer, offer poor support, are prone to aging and deformation, and are not securely attached to the hanger, easily shifting or falling off. Therefore, the market urgently needs an innovative product that can effectively increase the support area, prevent clothing deformation, facilitate convenient storage, and securely connect with the hanger. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and achieve the convenient advantage of simultaneous protection of both shoulders of a clothes hanger with a single piece. It provides a flat clothes hanger shoulder protector that is ingeniously structured, easy to use, simple to store, and reliably fixed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A planar one-piece coat hanger shoulder protector includes a single-piece planar base made of flexible material, which is configured as a long strip structure capable of simultaneously covering both shoulders of the coat hanger; the planar base has a horizontal "I"-shaped opening in the middle; the two ends of the planar base along its length are support parts for supporting the shoulders of clothing, and the two ends in the width direction are locking parts; the locking part has a circular arrow-shaped male buckle and a serrated circular female buckle that cooperates with it; the locking part can be bent toward the back of the planar base so that the male buckle and the female buckle engage to lock the coat hanger crossbar.

[0006] Preferably, the thickness of the planar substrate is 1.5-2mm, and its lower surface is provided with a circumferential reinforcing rib with a width of 2mm and a thickness of 3mm, and the periphery of the "I"-shaped opening is also provided with an opening reinforcing rib with a width of 2mm and a thickness of 3mm.

[0007] Preferably, the lower surface of the planar substrate is provided with a plurality of anti-slip stripes with a height of 1 mm and a spacing of 3 mm, and the upper surface of the planar substrate utilizes the inherent properties of the thermoplastic elastomer material itself to provide suitable friction with clothing.

[0008] Preferably, the width of the support portion is 70mm, and the radius of its end arc is 35mm.

[0009] Preferably, the base side between the locking part and the supporting part is a smooth curve formed by transition arcs with radii of 48mm, 200mm, and 100mm and a straight edge of 85mm.

[0010] Preferably, the total length of the "I"-shaped opening is 80mm, the distance from the midpoint to the vertex of the wide end of the planar base is 100mm, and the distance from the midpoint to the vertex of the long end of the planar base is 250mm.

[0011] Preferably, the flexible material is a thermoplastic elastomer with a Shore A hardness of 68-75 degrees.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Flat design for ultimate storage: The product is flat when stationary, with a thickness of only 1.5-2mm. It can be stacked or rolled up for storage, taking up almost no space and completely solving the storage problem of wide-shouldered clothes hangers.

[0013] Double-fixed for stability and reliability: The hanger hook rod is elastically gripped by the "I"-shaped opening in the middle, and then the hanger crossbar is locked a second time by the locking structure at the end, forming a double-fixed mechanism of "gripping in the middle and locking at the end" to ensure that it will never slip during use.

[0014] Functional integration and ingenious structure: By designing the thickness of different parts of a single material (thin main body, thick reinforcing ribs), it integrates multiple functions such as support, bending, locking, and anti-slip, eliminating the need to assemble multiple parts, resulting in a simple structure and high reliability.

[0015] Wide support and thorough protection: The wide support section (70mm) changes the line contact between the hanger and the clothes to a surface contact, greatly dispersing the pressure and fundamentally preventing the formation of "general shoulders". Attached Figure Description

Detailed implementation manners

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A flat integrated hanger shoulder protector provided by the present invention is integrally formed by injection molding of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) with a Shore A hardness of 70 degrees. The total length of the flat base 1 is about 50 cm, and the width is about 20 cm. The width of the supporting part 11 is 70 mm, and the end is an arc with a radius of R35 mm. The edge on one side of the locking part 3 is smoothly connected by transition arcs of R48 mm, R200 mm, R100 mm and an 85 mm straight edge 12, and this design can make the stress evenly distributed when the lock is bent.

[0020] The main body thickness of the flat base 1 is 1.8 mm. A peripheral reinforcing rib 4 with a width of 2 mm and a thickness of 3 mm is provided on its lower surface to ensure the overall shape stability and prevent warping. Similarly, an opening reinforcing rib 21 with a width of 2 mm and a thickness of 3 mm is also provided around the "I"-shaped opening 2 to prevent the opening from being torn due to repeated stretching. Six anti-slip stripes 5 with a height of 1 mm and a spacing of 3 mm are also provided on the lower surface to increase the friction with the hanger crossbar. The upper surface of the flat base uses the inherent characteristics of the thermoplastic elastomer material itself to provide appropriate friction with the clothing.

[0021] The total length of the "I"-shaped opening 2 is 80 mm, the midpoint is 100 mm from the vertex of the wide end, and 250 mm from the vertex of the long end.

[0022] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 When in use, first put the "I"-shaped opening 2 on the vertical rod under the hanger hook, and use the elasticity of the TPE material to make it naturally hold tightly. Then bend the locking part 3 downward, and snap the circular arrow-shaped male buckle 31 into the serrated circular female buckle 32 to indicate that it is locked. At this time, the hanger shoulder protector is firmly fixed on the hanger through the middle tightening and the end locking. After the clothes are hung, their shoulders fall on the wide supporting part 11 and are fully protected.
