[0026] This application provides a folding clothes hanger, which includes a housing, a hook and a support frame. The hook is connected to the upper end of the housing, and the support frame is pivotally connected to the left and right sides of the housing so as to be rotatable up and down. Locking members for locking the support frame are respectively arranged on the left and right sides inside the housing. The housing is provided with a travel groove extending towards the middle region of the housing. The locking members are positioned in the travel groove and can move along the travel groove towards the middle region of the housing to unlock the support frame. An elastic member is arranged between the locking members to make the locking members have a reset tendency.

[0027] As shown in the embodiment Figures 1 to 4 A folding clothes hanger includes a housing 1, a hook 2 and a support frame 3. The hook 2 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the housing 1, and the support frame 3 is pivotally connected to the left and right sides of the housing 1 so as to be rotatable up and down. Locking members 4 for locking the support frame 3 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides inside the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a travel groove 1.1 extending towards the middle region of the housing 1. The locking members 4 are positioned in the travel groove 1.1. The locking members 4 are provided with switch portions 4.3 exposed on the left and right sides of the housing 1. The maximum width of the switch portions 4.3 on the left and right sides is less than the width of the housing 1, so as to facilitate installing the locking members 4 into the inside of the housing 1 from the bottom of the housing 1. Pressing the switch portions 4.3 can make the locking members 4 slide along the travel groove 1.1 towards the middle region of the housing 1 to unlock the support frame 3.

[0028] Further, the stroke groove 1.1 is horizontally arranged on the side of the housing 1. A positioning portion 4.4 for positioning in the stroke groove 1.1 is arranged on the side of the locking member 4. An inclined surface is arranged on the positioning portion 4.4 to facilitate the clamping of the positioning portion 4.4 into the stroke groove 1.1 when the locking member 4 is installed into the housing 1.

[0029] Further, a first limiting portion 3.1 located inside the housing 1 and extending towards the locking member 4 is arranged at one end of the support frame 3 hinged to the housing 1. The locking member 4 is provided with a first limiting groove 4.1 that can accommodate the first limiting portion 3.1 and abuts against the first limiting portion 3.1 for limiting. A third abutting surface 4.2 with an arc-shaped depression is adjacent to the upper side of the first limiting groove 4.1. The third abutting surface 4.2 can abut against the first limiting portion 3.1 and facilitate the clamping of the first limiting portion 3.1 into the first limiting groove 4.1. When the support frame 3 is retracted, the hook 2, the housing 1, and the support frame 3 are in a straight line. When the support frame 3 is rotated upward, the first limiting portion 3.1 moves along with the tendency of the support frame 3 to rotate and unfold. At this time, the first limiting portion 3.1 abuts against the third abutting surface 4.2 of the locking member 4. As the support frame 3 rotates, the first limiting portion 3.1 moves along the arc surface of the third abutting surface 4.2 until it is clamped into the first limiting groove 4.1, and at this time, the support frame 3 is unfolded.

[0030] Further, a flat first abutting surface 4.1.1 is arranged on the upper side inside the first limiting groove 4.1. In the unfolded state of the support frame 3, the first abutting surface 4.1.1 abuts against and receives the force from the upper side portion of the first limiting portion 3.1, realizing the limitation of the downward tendency of the support frame 3. A second abutting surface 4.1.2 matching the shape of the end of the first limiting portion 3.1 is arranged in the direction close to the middle area of the housing 1 inside the first limiting groove 4.1. When the first limiting portion 3.1 is located in the first limiting groove 4.1, the end of the first limiting portion 3.1 abuts against the second abutting surface 4.1.2 in a mating manner, so that the first limiting portion 3.1 is accurately positioned in the first limiting groove 4.1 without shaking.

[0031] Specifically, the second abutting surface 4.1.2 is an inclined plane.

[0032] Further, the locking members 4 on the left and right sides are connected by an elastic member 5 (a spring in this embodiment). The elastic member 5 enables the locking members 4 to have a tendency to reset after moving towards the middle of the housing 1.

[0033] Further, a second limiting portion 3.2 located inside the housing 1 is arranged at one end of the support frame 3 hinged to the housing 1. In the unfolded state of the support frame 3, the second limiting portion 3.2 extends upward. As the support frame 3 rotates downward for retraction, the second limiting portion 3.2 will abut against the inner wall on the left or right side of the housing 1, thereby realizing the limitation of the retraction process of the support frame 3 and preventing the support frames 3 on the left and right sides from being over-retracted and causing collisions.

[0034] Furthermore, second limiting grooves 1.2 for limiting the unfolding tendency of the support frame 3 are formed on the left and right sides of the housing 1. After the support frame 3 is unfolded, the second limiting grooves 1.2 are in abutting cooperation with the upper part of the support frame 3, which can prevent the support frame 3 from being unfolded excessively.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0036] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
