Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lantern production technology, specifically relating to a hook for lantern support. Background Technology
[0002] Lanterns, also known as lantern decorations, are an ancient traditional Han Chinese handicraft. Over thousands of years of development, lanterns have evolved into different regional styles, each with its own unique artistic expression. Around the Lantern Festival (January 15th of the lunar calendar) each year, people hang red lanterns symbolizing reunion to create a festive atmosphere.
[0003] The long gourd lantern is mainly composed of folded silk cloth and a steel wire frame. The steel wire frame is welded end to end and shaped into a rectangle. The top and bottom ends of the frame have inner protruding corners. A V-shaped bend perpendicular to the frame is bent at the top of the frame for threading electrical wires. At the corresponding point on the V-shaped bend, a C-shaped hook perpendicular to the bend is welded to the frame to support the gourd-shaped silk cloth, facilitating the hanging of the lantern.
[0004] Therefore, the wire mesh support requires two welding operations during production: the first is to weld and fix the beginning and end of the wire mesh support, and the second is to weld the C-shaped hook perpendicular to the V-shaped bend. This production method increases the number of steps and reduces production efficiency because it requires two welding operations. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary hook for lantern brackets, which can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0006] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] This utility model provides an auxiliary hook for a lantern bracket, including a clip assembly and a bracket. The clip assembly is integrally injection molded from plastic and includes two threaded posts, a V-shaped bent rod, and a C-shaped hook. The V-shaped bent rod is horizontally arranged on opposite sides of the two threaded posts, and the C-shaped hook is vertically arranged on one side of the V-shaped bent rod. The outer wall surface of the two threaded posts is provided with a semi-circular groove. The two free ends of the bracket are bent and set at the upper opening, and the upper free ends of the bracket are fitted into the semi-circular grooves.
[0008] Two sets of compression blocks are provided in the semi-circular groove to clamp the upper free end of the bracket.
[0009] By using the above-mentioned auxiliary hook for lantern bracket, the semi-circular groove of the threaded post on the hook assembly is connected to the free end on the upper side of the bracket, so that the free end of the bracket is locked in the inner groove between the two pressing blocks. In this way, the hook assembly and the bracket form a connected whole, which facilitates the fixing and support of the outer silk cloth.
[0010] Preferably, each set of extrusion blocks includes two blocks, which are symmetrically arranged in a semi-circular groove, and three sets of inner slots are provided on their opposite sides.
[0011] Preferably, the three sets of inner slots have progressively increasing radii from the inside to the outside within the semi-circular groove, which are used to clamp brackets of different thicknesses.
[0012] The beneficial effects are:
[0013] 1. This utility model, through the clamping component and the bracket, allows the steel wire bracket to be bent into the corresponding shape, and then the two free ends on the upper side of the steel wire bracket are inserted into the semi-circular groove on the threading post, and clamped in the semi-circular groove by the extrusion block to form a connected whole. In this way, the production of the steel wire bracket only requires the clamping component to be connected and assembled with the bracket, which optimizes the production method and improves production efficiency.
[0014] 2. This utility model improves the application range of the card hanging component by setting three sets of inner slots of different sizes on the extrusion block, so that the card hanging component can be adapted to the wire bracket inside the winter melon lantern of different sizes.

[0020] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0021] like Figure 1-3As shown, an auxiliary hook for a lantern bracket includes a clip assembly and a bracket 5. The clip assembly is integrally injection molded from plastic and includes two threaded posts 1, a V-shaped bent rod 2, and a C-shaped hook 3. The V-shaped bent rod 2 is horizontally arranged on opposite sides of the two threaded posts 1, and the C-shaped hook 3 is vertically arranged on one side of the V-shaped bent rod 2. The V-shaped bent rod 2 and the C-shaped hook 3 are aligned in the middle. The V-shaped bent rod 2 and the C-shaped hook 3 cooperate to clip the connected wire. The outer wall of the two threaded posts 1 is provided with a semi-circular groove 1a. The two free ends of the bracket 5 are bent and set at the upper opening. The upper free ends of the bracket 5 are fitted into the semi-circular groove 1a.
[0022] Two sets of compression blocks 4 are provided in the semi-circular groove 1a to clamp the upper free end of the bracket 5.
[0023] As an optional implementation, each set of compression blocks 4 includes two blocks, which are symmetrically arranged in the semi-circular groove 1a. Three sets of inner slots 4a are provided on their opposite sides. This arrangement enables the two compression blocks 4 in each set to compress and clamp the free end of the bracket 5, thereby improving the fixing effect.
[0024] See attached document Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 The three sets of inner slots 4a have an increasing radius from the inside to the outside within the semi-circular groove 1a, which are used to clamp brackets 5 of different thicknesses. This arrangement allows the inner slots 4a to adapt to brackets 5 of different thicknesses, thus making them suitable for long winter melon lanterns of different sizes and increasing their application range.
[0025] Using the above structure, the semi-circular groove 1a of the threaded post 1 on the hook assembly is sleeved with the free end on the upper side of the bracket 5, so that the free end of the bracket 5 is locked in the inner groove 4a between the two extrusion blocks 4. In this way, the hook assembly and the bracket 5 form a connected whole, which is convenient for fixing and supporting the outer silk cloth.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model.
