Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hanger. [Background technology]

[0002] Hard plastic hangers are widely used for displaying and selling clothing such as jackets, trousers, and underwear, and for storing and storing clothing at dry cleaners and homes. Also, in accommodation facilities such as hotels and inns, hard plastic or wooden hangers are often provided in the closets provided in the rooms for use by guests (see Patent Documents 1 and 2 below).

[0003] Hard plastic hangers are formed by creating a mold and then injection molding, so the hangers themselves tend to be thick and many of them have structures that make them difficult to fold or disassemble, making them difficult to store and transport.

[0004] On the other hand, in recent years, marine pollution caused by microplastics has attracted attention, and the move away from plastics is progressing worldwide from the viewpoint of environmental protection. In Japan, the "Act on Promotion of Resource Circulation Related to Plastics" was enacted, which, for example, requires certain businesses to reduce disposable plastic products. In addition, the "Act on Promotion of Resource Circulation Related to Plastics" designates plastic hangers as "products using specified plastics," and there is an increasing demand for the move away from plastic hangers.

[0005] Here, technologies for using paper hangers instead of plastic ones have been proposed, for example, in Patent Documents 3, 4, and 5 listed below.

[0006] The hanger disclosed in Patent Document 3 has a separate hook portion and hanger portion, which allows it to be disassembled into its sheet-like parts. Although it is made of paper, it is easier to store and transport than a plastic hanger in which the hook portion and hanger portion are molded as a single unit.

[0007] The hangers disclosed in Patent Documents 4 and 5 are made by folding and assembling a single sheet material into a three-dimensional shape, which makes it difficult for clothes to wrinkle or lose their shape when used. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6954700 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6694198 [Patent Document 3] JP 2011-182807 A [Patent Document 4] Utility model registration No. 3159829 [Patent Document 5] JP 2019-151364 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] However, the hanger in Patent Document 3 requires complicated assembly and disassembly of multiple components when used and transported. In addition, the bulkiness is reduced by making the hook and hanger parts separate and by making it into a single sheet, and the hanger part itself, which has the largest surface area, is about the same as an integrally molded plastic hanger, so it is difficult to say that the hanger is sufficiently compact.

[0010] On the other hand, the hangers made of sheet materials such as paper in Patent Documents 4 and 5 are excellent in storability and portability in the state of the sheet material before assembly, but once assembled, it is difficult to return them to a form suitable for easy storage and portability. Also, the hanger in Patent Document 5 has a problem that the sheet-like body before assembly has valley folds and mountain folds on one side, and creases and the like must be formed on both sides of the sheet material, making the manufacturing process complicated.

[0011] That is, the conventional paper hangers as disclosed in Patent Documents 3 to 5 are merely superior in storability and transportability compared to integrally molded plastic hangers in that they are all thin paper sheets before assembly. Therefore, they do not achieve a high degree of space saving when folded, for example, to achieve portability suitable for users to take with them when traveling.

[0012] Hangers are expected to be used in various places and situations, such as when watching sports, during outdoor leisure activities such as camping, in buses and trains while traveling or sightseeing, in offices and schools, etc. However, there are many cases where hangers are not available when needed. For this reason, there is a demand for hangers that can be folded compactly to fit in a handbag or the like, making them easy to carry, and that can be easily assembled.

[0013] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a hanger which can be used in either a three-dimensional form or a folded form which is highly portable, and which can be easily manufactured from a non-plastic sheet material. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] The first means for solving the above problem is: A clothes hanger comprising: The hanger has a main body for hanging clothes and a hook for hanging the clothes on a support.

[0021] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Figs. 1 to 21. However, the present invention is not limited to the shapes shown in the drawings or the embodiments. It goes without saying that the detailed shapes and positions of each part can be changed within the scope of the present invention.

[0022] The hanger 1 of this embodiment is a clothes hanger, and as shown in FIG. 1, when in use, has a roughly triangular hanger body 2 for hanging clothes, and a hook portion 3 having a sickle-shaped hook portion 3F for hanging on a support.

[0023] The hanger main body 2 is configured so that a first frame main body 20A faces a second frame main body 20B, and the hook portion 3 is configured so that a first hook portion forming piece 30A faces a second hook portion forming piece 30B, resulting in an overall three-dimensional shape.

[0024] In this hanger 1, each of the first frame main body portion 20A, the second frame main body portion 20B, the first hook portion forming piece 30A and the second hook portion forming piece 30B is thin plate-like and is unfolded into a single flexible sheet, as shown particularly in Figures 2 and 3.

[0025] In this unfolded state, the first frame main body 20A has a first top 21, a first right shoulder 22R and a first left shoulder 22L extending diagonally outward to the left and right from the first top 21, a first bottom 23 connecting the lower parts of the first right shoulder 22R and the first left shoulder 22L, and a first opening 24 surrounded by the first top 21, the first right shoulder 22R, the first left shoulder 22L and the first bottom 23, and the first frame main body 20A and the first opening 24 overall form an approximately isosceles triangle shape.

[0026] The second frame main body 20B has a second top 25, a second right shoulder 26R and a second left shoulder 26L extending diagonally outward to the left and right from the second top 25, a second bottom 27 connecting the lower parts of the second right shoulder 26R and the second left shoulder 26L, and a second opening 28 surrounded by the second top 25, the second right shoulder 26R, the second left shoulder 26L and the second bottom 27, and the second frame main body 20B and the second opening 28 overall form an approximately isosceles triangle shape.

[0027] The first frame body 20A and the second frame body 20B are integrally connected by a bottom edge 23E of the first bottom 23 and a bottom edge 27E of the second bottom 27, which are connected by a common straight bottom fold line 51, and are configured so that when the first frame body 20A or the second frame body 20B is folded back at the bottom fold line 51, the first apex 21 and the second apex 25 are in a butt facing position. The illustrated form is a particularly preferred form, in which the first apex 21 and the second apex 25, the first right shoulder 22R and the second right shoulder 26R, the first left shoulder 22L and the second left shoulder 26L, the first bottom 23 and the second bottom 27, and the first opening 24 and the second opening 28 are in line-symmetrical positions with respect to the bottom fold line 51, and are folded back to overlap.

[0028] On the other hand, the first hook portion forming piece 30A in the hanger 1 of this embodiment is connected to the bottom side of the first apex 21 via the first hook portion fold line 55 so as to be able to be folded back, and as shown in Fig. 2, is located within the first opening 24 in the unfolded state without being folded back at the first hook portion fold line 55. Also, by folding back at the first hook portion fold line 55, the first hook portion 31F is configured to protrude above the first apex 21 as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.

[0029] Further, second hook portion forming piece 30B in hanger 1 of this embodiment is foldably connected to the bottom side of second apex 25 via second hook portion fold line 56, and is located within second opening 28 in an unfolded state without being folded back at second hook portion fold line 56. Furthermore, by folding back at second hook portion fold line 56, second hook portion 32F is configured to protrude above second apex 25, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.

[0030] In the illustrated embodiment, the first hook forming piece 30A and the second hook forming piece 30B have the same shape and are symmetrical with respect to the bottom fold line 51, and are folded back at the bottom fold line 51 to face each other and overlap to form the hook portion 3. However, the first hook forming piece 30A and the second hook forming piece 30B do not have to have the same shape.

[0031] In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, when the first hook portion forming piece 30A is folded back from the unfolded state shown in FIG. 2 at the first hook portion fold line 55 shown in FIG. 4 and the second hook portion forming piece 30B is folded back at the second hook portion fold line 56, and then the first frame main body portion 20A or the second frame main body portion 20B is folded back at the bottom fold line 51, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 to 7, the first hook portion 31F of the first hook portion forming piece 30A protrudes above the first apex 21 and the second hook portion 32F of the second hook portion forming piece 30B protrudes above the second apex 25, forming a hook portion 3 in which the first hook portion forming piece 30A and the second hook portion forming piece 30B overlap and face each other, forming a double hook portion 3 with double sheet material, as shown in FIGS. At this time, the first hook portion forming piece 30A and a part of the second hook portion forming piece 30B are positioned between the first top 21 and the second top 25, so that the area between the first top 21 and the second top 25 has a thick and strong shape, and further, a strong hook portion 3F is formed above the first top 21 and the second top 25 with double sheet material.

[0032] On the other hand, the first frame body 20A of the hanger 1 of this embodiment has a first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 that extends from the first right shoulder 22R and the first left shoulder 22L through a first shoulder fold line 52 and widens from the first top 21 side toward the first bottom 23 side, and an insert piece 42 that extends from the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 through an insert piece forming fold line 53. In the illustrated embodiment, the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 has a substantially triangular shape tapered toward the top side, but this is not necessarily limited to this. It may also be substantially trapezoidal. In addition, there may be multiple first shoulder upper portion forming pieces 41. Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiment, the insert piece 42 has a substantially rectangular shape with rounded corners at the tip, but this is not limited to this. It may be formed to have a tapered tip. In addition, in the illustrated embodiment, one insert piece 42 is formed in one first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41, but multiple insert pieces 42 may be formed in one first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41.

[0033] The second frame main body portion 20B has a second shoulder upper forming piece 43 extending from the second right shoulder portion 26R and the second left shoulder portion 26L respectively via the second shoulder fold line 54, and an insertion portion 44 located between the second right shoulder portion 26R and the second left shoulder portion 26L respectively and the second shoulder upper forming piece 43, into which the insertion piece 42 can be inserted.

[0034] In the illustrated embodiment, the second shoulder upper portion forming piece 43 in the second frame main body 20B has a generally triangular shape that widens from the second top 25 side toward the second bottom 27 side, similar to the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41, but is not necessarily limited to this shape. The second shoulder upper portion forming piece 43 only needs to function as an excess for forming an insertion portion 44 between at least the second right shoulder 26R and the second left shoulder 26L. However, it is desirable that the second shoulder upper portion forming piece 43 has a shape that overlaps with the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 in a plan view during assembly, which will be described later, and preferably has a similar shape to the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 but slightly smaller.

[0035] The inserting portion 44 may have any shape that allows the inserting piece 42 formed in the first frame body portion 20A to be inserted therein, and preferably has a width equal to the width of the inserting piece 42, i.e., the length of the inserting piece forming fold line 53, which is the connection length between the inserting piece 42 and the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41. The inserting piece 42 can be inserted into the inserting portion 44 to the root. In the illustrated embodiment, the inserting portion 44 is formed as a slit penetrating the sheet material. As shown in Figs. 7 and 8, when the second shoulder upper portion forming piece 43 is folded back, a slit is opened, and the inserting portion 44 is formed as a hole. However, the inserting portion 44 is not limited to a slit. It may be a through hole having an elongated shape formed by punching or hollowing. In the illustrated embodiment, one inserting portion 44 is formed for each shoulder portion 26R, 26L, but the number of inserting portions 44 may be multiple depending on the number of inserting pieces 42, etc.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 9, the insertion piece 42 and the insertion portion 44 in the hanger 1 of the embodiment are configured such that the insertion piece 42 can be inserted into the insertion portion 44 when the first frame main body portion 20A or the second frame main body portion 20B is folded back at the bottom fold line 51 so that the first top 21 and the second top 25 are in a facing butt position, and the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, and the insertion piece forming fold line 53 are folded.

[0037] In the illustrated form, when the first frame main body portion 20A and the second frame main body portion 20B are folded back at the bottom fold line 51, the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 and the second shoulder upper forming piece 43 extending from each shoulder are formed in a position where they face each other closely, and when the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54 and the insertion piece forming fold line 53 are folded at this position where they face each other closely, the insertion piece 42 is configured to be able to be inserted into the insertion portion 44. 10 to 12, the second shoulder upper portion forming piece 43 and the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 overlap, and the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 is bridged between the first right shoulder 22R and the second right shoulder 26R and between the first left shoulder 22L and the second left shoulder 26L, respectively, and the first frame main body 20A and the second frame main body 20B, which are folded back at the bottom side folding line 51 and are in facing positions, are connected between the first right shoulder 22R and the second right shoulder 26R and between the first left shoulder 22L and the second left shoulder 26L, respectively. The shape of the second shoulder upper portion forming piece 43 may be any shape that can overlap within the range of the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 when the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 is bridged. In addition, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, there is no limitation as to which of the bottom fold line 51, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, and the insertion piece forming fold line 53 is folded first during assembly.

[0038] Here, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 has a shape that gradually widens from the first top portion 21 side toward the first bottom portion 23 side, and in the preferred illustrated form, has a substantially triangular shape. Therefore, when the insertion piece 42 is inserted into the insertion portion 44 and the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 is bridged between the first right shoulder portion 22R and the second right shoulder portion 26R and between the first left shoulder portion 22L and the second left shoulder portion 26L, the first frame main body portion 20A and the second frame main body portion 20B, which are in opposing positions, are formed into a three-dimensional shape in which the distance between the first right shoulder portion 22R and the second right shoulder portion 26R and between the first left shoulder portion 22L and the second left shoulder portion 26L gradually increases from the top side toward the bottom side to the bottom side position of the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41.

[0039] On the other hand, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the distance between the first right shoulder portion 22R and the second right shoulder portion 26R, and the first left shoulder portion 22L and the second left shoulder portion 26L gradually increases from the top side toward the bottom side to the bottom position of the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41, while the first frame main body portion 20A and the second frame main body portion 20B are connected by the bottom fold line 51, so that during assembly, the distance between the first frame main body portion 20A and the second frame main body portion 20B suddenly becomes short between the bottom position of the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 and the bottom fold line 51, especially when the length from the bottom position of the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 to the bottom fold line 51 is short or the bottom side expansion width of the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 is wide. For this reason, for example, in particular when the sheet material is a stiff material that is difficult to bend, it is desirable to form folding assistant lines 57, 58 that facilitate folding parallel to the bottom fold line 51 at the bottom side position of the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 or at a position closer to the bottom fold line 51 than that position, in order to facilitate assembly. In the preferred illustrated form, the folding assistant lines 57, 58 also serve as the third fold line 57 and the fourth fold line 58, which will be described in detail later, for folding the hanger 1 so that it is easy to carry. However, the folding assistant lines 57, 58 are not necessarily required, and do not need to also serve as folding lines. When the folding assistant lines are provided, the folding assistant lines eliminate bending of the sheet material, making assembly easy even when the material is stiff.

[0040] The bottom fold line 51, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, the insertion piece forming fold line 53, and the folding auxiliary lines 57, 58 in the hanger 1 of this embodiment are lines for easily folding back or folding the sheet material, and may be lines printed simply for positioning, but are preferably lines also called creases, perforations, or half slits. In particular, half slits are preferred, which make it easy to fold even a stiff material. The cut-tie ratio in the case of perforations and the slit depth in the case of half slits may be changed depending on the thickness and strength of the sheet material. In addition, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, the insertion piece forming fold line 53, and the folding auxiliary lines 57, 58 in the hanger of this embodiment do not all need to be the same type of lines, and for example, the bottom side fold line 51 may be a perforation and the others may be half slits. In addition, the cut-tie ratio in the case of perforations and the slit depth in the case of half slits do not need to be the same.

[0041] Here, the structure of the hanger 1 of this embodiment is characterized in that the folding directions of each part can be all in the same direction at the bottom side fold line 51, the first hook portion fold line 55, the second hook portion fold line 56, the first shoulder portion fold line 52, the second shoulder portion fold line 54, the insertion piece forming fold line 53, and the folding auxiliary lines 57, 58. Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, when assembling from the unfolded state shown in Fig. 2, all of the fold lines are mountain folds, and the folding directions are all in the same direction. That is, at the bottom side fold line 51, the first frame body 20A or the second frame body 20B is folded back toward the back side of the paper, at the first hook fold line 55, the first hook forming piece 30A is folded back toward the back side of the paper, at the second hook fold line 56, the second hook forming piece 30B is folded back toward the back side of the paper, at the first shoulder fold line 52, the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 is folded back toward the back side of the paper, at the second shoulder fold line 54, the second shoulder upper forming piece 43 is folded back toward the back side of the paper, and at the insertion piece forming fold line 53, the insertion piece 42 is folded back toward the back side of the paper. Similarly, when the folding auxiliary lines 57 and 58 are formed, any of the regions divided by the folding auxiliary lines 57 and 58 is folded back toward the back side of the paper.

[0042] Therefore, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, it is preferable to form the bottom side fold line 51, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, the insertion piece forming fold line 53, and the folding auxiliary line 57 as half slits on the same plane. Since the half slit opens on the slit side when folded, it is easy to fold in a straight line even if the material is thick and flexible but stiff, which is easy to make into a strong hanger, and it is easy to assemble and make a strong hanger. Furthermore, when the half slits can be formed on the same plane, manufacturing is extremely easy compared to a manufacturing method in which cutting is done from both sides of the paper.

[0043] Furthermore, as a particularly preferred embodiment, the hanger 1 of this embodiment has a first folding line 59 that is perpendicular to the bottom folding line 51 and passes through the first right shoulder 22R of the first frame body 20A, the first bottom 23 of the first frame body 20A, the second bottom 27 of the second frame body 20B, and the second right shoulder 26R of the second frame body 20B in a straight line, and further has a second folding line 60 that is perpendicular to the bottom folding line 51 and passes through the first left shoulder 22L of the first frame body 20A, the first bottom 23 of the first frame body 20A, the second bottom 27 of the second frame body 20B, and the second left shoulder 26L of the second frame body 20B in a straight line, as shown in FIG. 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the first folding line 59 and the second folding line 60 are arranged to pass through the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 and the second shoulder upper portion forming piece 43, but may be arranged in this manner. However, it may be arranged so as not to pass through the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 and the second shoulder upper portion forming piece 43. This is selected depending on the positions and shapes of the first shoulder upper portion forming piece 41 and the second shoulder upper portion forming piece 43.

[0044] The first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60 are disposed at two positions sandwiching the first hook-forming piece 30A and the second hook-forming piece 30B. Therefore, regardless of the first hook-forming piece 30A and the second hook-forming piece 30B, the extension direction of the bottom fold line 51 in the unfolded state is set as the width direction, and the widthwise outer region 2R can be folded back at the first fold line 59 from the first fold line 59. Also, the widthwise outer region 2L can be folded back at the second fold line 60 from the second fold line 60. The distance between the first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60 is not limited, but if the distance between the first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60 and the distance from the first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60 to the widthwise outer end are set to about 1 / 3 of the total width, and the distance between the first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60 is configured to be slightly wider, the paper will be folded in thirds most compactly.

[0045] Furthermore, the hanger 1 of this embodiment has a pair of third fold lines 57 arranged on the first right shoulder 22R of the first frame body 20A and the second right shoulder 26R of the second frame body 20B, which are parallel to the bottom fold line 51, and a pair of fourth fold lines 58 arranged on the first left shoulder 22L of the first frame body 20A and the second left shoulder 26L of the second frame body 20B, which are parallel to the bottom fold line 51. The third fold lines 57 are arranged closer to the connection position between the first right shoulder 22R and the first bottom 23 and closer to the connection position between the second right shoulder 26R and the second bottom 27 than the first fold line 59. Similarly, the fourth fold line 58 is disposed closer to the connection between the first left shoulder 22L and the first bottom 23 and closer to the connection between the second left shoulder 26L and the second bottom 27 than the second fold line 60. The distances of the pair of third fold lines 57 from the bottom fold line 51 are not necessarily equal, but are preferably equal. The distances of the pair of fourth fold lines 58 from the bottom fold line 51 are similar, and are not necessarily equal, but are preferably equal. In the illustrated embodiment, the third fold line 57 and the fourth fold line 58 also serve as folding auxiliary lines.

[0046] Either the third fold line 57 or the fourth fold line 58 is located closer to the top 21, 25, and from the state folded in thirds along the first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60, it is possible to further fold it in thirds along the third fold line 57 and the fourth fold line 58.

[0047] The folding into thirds at the third fold line 57 and the fourth fold line 58 will be specifically described with reference to the illustrated form. As shown in the unfolded state in Figures 2 and 4, in the illustrated form of the hanger 1, the fourth fold line 58 arranged on each of the first left shoulder portion 22L of the first frame main body portion 20A and the second left shoulder portion 26L of the second frame main body portion 20B is located closer to the tops 21 and 25 than the position of the third fold line 57. In this illustrated form, first, as shown in Fig. 4, the first hook portion 31F of the first hook portion forming piece 30A projects upward from the first apex 21, and the second hook portion 32F of the second hook portion forming piece 30B projects upward from the second apex 25. In this state, as shown in Fig. 13, the region 2R on the widthwise outer side of the first fold line 59 is folded back toward the depth of the paper at the first fold line 59, and then, as shown in Fig. 14, the region 2L on the widthwise outer side of the second fold line 60 is folded back toward the depth of the paper to overlap the region 2R on the widthwise outer side of the first fold line 59 to form a three-fold form. At this time, the region 2L on the widthwise outer side of the second fold line 60, where the fourth fold line 58 is located, is positioned further toward the depth of the paper. 15, portion 2X located closer to top 21 than fourth fold line 58 and third fold line 57 is folded back toward the front side of the page, that is, with fourth fold line 58 facing outward and third fold line 57 facing inward. Note that portion 2Y located closer to top 25 than fourth fold line 58 and third fold line 57 may be folded back first. During this folding, the region 2L widthwise outboard of the second fold line 60, where the fourth fold line 58 is formed further toward the back of the page, is folded to cover and wrap around the region 2R widthwise outboard of the first fold line 59, where the third fold line 57 is formed. Therefore, the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57 are not equidistant from the bottom fold line 51, and the fourth fold line 58 is located closer to the tops 21, 25 than the third fold line 57. This makes it easier for the sheet material to bend when folded, and also forms gaps Z1, Z2 between the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57, allowing the sheet to be folded back smoothly.

[0048] After folding back portion 2X located closer to top 21 than fourth fold line 58 and third fold line 57 with fourth fold line 58 facing outward and third fold line 57 facing inward, first hook portion 30A that was folded back at first hook portion fold line 55 is folded back to its original position as shown in Figure 16. Note that first hook portion 30A may be folded back before folding back portion 2X located closer to top 21 than fourth fold line 58 and third fold line 57.

[0049] After first hook portion 30 is folded back, portion 2Y located closer to top portion 25 than fourth fold line 58 and third fold line 57 is folded back toward the front side of the page, that is, so that fourth fold line 58 is on the outside and third fold line 57 is on the inside, as shown in Fig. 17. Note that, as described above, either portion X or portion Y may be folded back first.

[0050] After folding back portion 2Y located closer to top 25 than fourth fold line 58 and third fold line 57, second hook portion 30B that was folded back at second hook portion fold line 56 is folded back to its original position as shown in Fig. 18. Note that this folding back of second hook portion 30B may be performed before folding back portion 2Y located closer to top 25 than fourth fold line 58 and third fold line 57.

[0051] Thus, when the first fold line to the fourth fold line are folded, as shown in FIG. 18, region 2R, region 2L, portion X, and portion Y are folded into an extremely compact shape that is highly portable.

[0052] In addition, when the portion 2Y located on the top 25 side of the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57 is folded back toward the front side of the page before the portion 2X located on the top 21 side of the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57, the shape shown in Fig. 19 is obtained. In either case, the product is folded compactly. In addition, the shape of the back side in the folded form shown in Fig. 19 is shown in Fig. 20.

[0053] In the illustrated form of the description, the region 2R widthwise outer than the first fold line 59 is first folded back toward the rear of the paper, and then the region 2L widthwise outer than the second fold line 60 is folded back toward the rear of the paper so that the region 2L widthwise outer than the second fold line 60 is positioned further back into the paper and is also folded forward, resulting in a form in which the fourth fold line 58 is positioned closer to the apex 21, 25. However, if the region 2L widthwise outer than the second fold line 60 is first folded back toward the rear of the paper, and then the region 2R widthwise outer than the first fold line 59 is folded back toward the rear of the paper, so that the region 2R widthwise outer than the first fold line 59 is positioned further back into the paper, then the third fold line 57 can be positioned closer to the apex 21, 25 than the fourth fold line 58. That is, whether the third fold line 57 or the fourth fold line 58 is positioned on the side of the top portions 21, 25 depends on the folding order of the first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60.

[0054] In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, in addition to the bottom fold line 51, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, and the insertion piece forming fold line 53, the first fold line 59, the second fold line 60, the third fold line 57, and the fourth fold line 58 can all be folded in the same direction. For example, when folding as described above from the unfolded state shown in Fig. 2, the first fold line 59, the second fold line 60, the third fold line 57, and the fourth fold line 58 are all mountain folds like the other fold lines.

[0055] Therefore, in the hanger of this embodiment, in addition to the bottom fold line 51, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, and the insertion piece forming fold line 53, the first fold line 59, the second fold line 60, the third fold line 57, and the fourth fold line 58 can also be formed as half slits on the same surface, and it is preferable to prepare them in this way. Since it is only necessary to form half slits on the same surface, manufacturing is easier than a manufacturing method in which cutting is performed from both sides of the paper.

[0056] Here, when each folding line in the hanger 1 of this embodiment is a half slit, the slit depth is not limited, but it is preferable that the tensile strength between the slits is 150N or more, preferably 170N or more. The risk of unintentional breakage at the half slit position during assembly, use, and folding is greatly reduced. The tensile strength is a value measured using a sample that is a rectangle of 15mm wide x 180mm long and has a half slit at 90mm, half the length, in accordance with JIS P 8113, and the measurement is performed at a pulling speed of 20mm / min and a load cell capacity of 1KN.

[0057] The hanger 1 of this embodiment having the above structure is in a three-dimensional form in use, in particular, in which the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 is bridged between the shoulders of the first frame body portion 20A and the second frame body portion 20B. In addition, it can be folded at the first folding line 29, the second folding line 60, the third folding line 57, and the fourth folding line 58, and can be made into a compact folded form with excellent portability. Moreover, since the unfolded state is a single sheet material like paper, it can be manufactured from a non-plastic sheet material. Furthermore, the folding direction of each part can be made the same direction from the unfolded state, and it can be easily manufactured by forming half slits and creases only from one side. Note that the explanation of the illustrated form has been given on the left and right in the unfolded state shown in FIG. 2, that is, in the positional relationship in which the first apex 21 of the first frame body portion 20A is at the top of the paper and the second apex 25 of the second frame body portion 20B is at the bottom of the paper. Needless to say, the left and right in the first right shoulder 22R, the first left shoulder 22L, the second right shoulder 26R and the second left shoulder 26L are merely for convenience and change depending on the position of the viewer and the unfolded hanger 1.

[0058] Here, a sheet material particularly suitable for the hanger 1 of this embodiment will be described. From the viewpoint of eliminating plastic, the sheet material of this embodiment is preferably paper made of pulp fibers. Specifically, examples include corrugated cardboard, coated cardboard, and multi-layer paper in which multiple paper layers are laminated. Of course, it is more preferable that the paper is made of only fibers derived from natural materials and does not contain synthetic fibers including plastic. Preferably, the paper is made of only pulp fibers. Also, a particularly preferable paper is a multi-layer paper having three or more paper layers. As shown in FIG. 21, since the multi-layer paper 80 has multiple paper layers 81 and 82 laminated thereon, the characteristics of each layer can be changed, and the multi-layer paper 80 can be easily folded while maintaining its strength. For example, by combining a pair of surface layers 81, which are excellent in water resistance and abrasion resistance but are hard but tend to break, with a flexible middle layer 82, the paper becomes excellent in toughness and durability, and can be easily folded and assembled while maintaining its strength. Furthermore, when each fold line is half-slit, the multiple layers including the surface layer are not completely cut, and the risk of breakage at each fold line is significantly reduced. The multi-layer paper 80 can be manufactured by multi-layer papermaking. The multi-layer paper 80 may be a commercially available product, such as Eripura Paper manufactured by Dainichi Paper Co., Ltd.

[0059] When the sheet material is paper, the basis weight of the paper is preferably 400 g / m 2 More preferably, 430 g / m 2 More preferably, 460 g / m 2 That is all. Paper with this basis weight is easy to assemble by folding each part, and has sufficient rigidity and strength to be used as a hanger. There is no upper limit to the basis weight, but there is a risk that creases may easily occur when using calendar rolls during papermaking. From this point of view, the upper limit is set at 1400 g / m 2 is preferred, and 1240 g / m 2is more preferable. When the sheet material is paper, the paper thickness is preferably 500 μm or more and 1,400 μm or less, more preferably 550 μm or more and 1,350 μm or less. The basis weight is a value measured in accordance with "Paper and paperboard - Basis weight measurement method" described in JIS P 8124 (2011), and the paper thickness is a value measured in accordance with "Paper and paperboard - Thickness and density test method" described in JIS-P8118 (2014).

[0060] When the sheet material is paper, the constituent pulp fiber of the paper is not necessarily limited, but the preferred constituent pulp fiber is softwood kraft pulp such as softwood unbleached kraft pulp (NUKP), softwood semi-bleached kraft pulp (NSBKP), softwood bleached kraft pulp (NBKP), and hardwood kraft pulp such as hardwood unbleached kraft pulp (LUKP), hardwood semi-bleached kraft pulp (LSBKP), hardwood bleached kraft pulp (LBKP). As other pulps, chemical pulps such as waste paper pulp, hardwood sulfite pulp, softwood sulfite pulp, or pulps chemically or mechanically produced from non-wood fibers such as kenaf, hemp, and reed may be used in appropriate combination. Since it is easy to develop strength, it is preferable that softwood kraft pulp and hardwood kraft pulp are 90 to 100 mass%. In this case, the blending ratio of softwood kraft pulp and hardwood kraft pulp is preferably 5:95 to 30:70. To obtain a hanger with a design that has a clean and hard feel, it is particularly preferable to use softwood bleached kraft pulp and hardwood bleached kraft pulp, which are white pulps with high whiteness.

[0061] When the sheet material is paper, it is desirable that the paper has a tensile strength of 20 kN / m or more, preferably 25 kN / m or more, in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, measured in accordance with JIS P 8113 (2006). If the paper has this tensile strength, it is suitable for folding and assembly, and can be easily made into a hanger with sufficient strength.

[0062] In addition, when the sheet material is paper, it is desirable that the Taber stiffness of the paper, measured in accordance with JIS P 8125 (2000), is 120 mN·m or more in the longitudinal direction and 40 mN·m or more in the transverse direction. in If such a structure is provided, the hanger can have sufficient rigidity and strength and can be easily folded and assembled.

[0063] Furthermore, when the sheet material is paper, the paper has a Z-axis strength of 400 kN / m, measured in accordance with JAPAN TAPPI Paper and Pulp Test Method No. 18-1:2000. 2 More than 450kN / m 2 It is preferable that the above is the case. The hanger in the unfolded state can be easily manufactured by punching using a Thompson process or cutting using a cutting plotter.

[0064] When the sheet material is paper, the static friction coefficient of the paper according to JIS P 8147 ISO horizontal method is preferably 0.25 to 0.65. When clothes are hung on the sheet material, there is appropriate friction so that the clothes do not slide off easily, and the surface has appropriate properties that do not damage the fabric. In this measurement method, measurements are performed three times for each of the back surfaces of the sheet material and the front surfaces, and it is preferable that the third measured values ​​for the back surfaces and the front surfaces are all within the above range. In the ISO horizontal method, it is sufficient to measure at least one of the static friction coefficient of the first slide, the static friction coefficient of the third slide, or the kinetic friction coefficient of the third slide. The static friction coefficient of the third slide tends to be smaller than the static friction coefficient of the first slide, and the variation in the static friction coefficient of the third slide is smaller.

[0065] When the sheet material is paper, the paper is preferably PPS (Parker Print Surf Roughness) conforming to JIS P 8151, and has a thickness of preferably 3 to 8 μm, more preferably 4 to 7 μm on both the front and back sides. This provides an appropriate surface property that prevents clothes from slipping off when hung on the paper and does not damage the fabric.

[0066] When the sheet material is paper, the MMD value of the paper is preferably 10 to 25 on both the front and back sides. This provides an appropriate surface property that prevents clothes from slipping off when hung and does not damage the fabric. The MMD is measured using a friction tester (KES-SE, manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd.) or an equivalent device. The friction element used is a contact surface with a length and width of 10 mm, which is made up of 20 standard piano wires with a diameter of 0.5 mm arranged side by side.

[0067] When the sheet material is the multilayer paper 80 which is particularly preferred for the hanger 1 according to this embodiment, the number of layers is not limited, but is preferably five to nine layers, and the number of middle layers 82 is preferably three or more, especially five layers. In particular, the form shown in FIG. 21 has three middle layers 82. It is said that when the total number of middle layers 82 is three or more, the multilayer paper 80 is more likely to exhibit its toughness and durability. From the viewpoint of maintaining interlayer strength, the upper limit of the total number of middle layers 82 is preferably seven or less. Furthermore, three to seven layers make it easier to operate while maintaining interlayer strength when using a cylinder net multi-cylinder type combined papermaking machine.

[0068] When the sheet material is a multi-layer paper 80, the basis weight of the surface layer 81 and the middle layer 82 can be adjusted within the range of the overall basis weight when the sheet material is paper, and is not particularly limited. Preferably, the basis weight of the surface layer 81 is 55.0 g / m per layer. 2 More than 150.0g / m 2 Below 60~145g / m 2 The basis weight of the entire middle layer 82 is preferably 490 g / m 2 More than 750g / m 2 Below, especially 495g / m 2 More than 740g / m 2 The following is preferable. Furthermore, it is preferable that the ratio of the total basis weight of the pair of surface layers 81, 81 to the basis weight of the entire multilayer paper 80 is 15.0% or more and 33.0% or less. The pair of surface layers 81 have high rigidity, and the middle layer 82 has excellent flexibility. This makes it easy to fold at the fold lines and difficult to fold at positions other than the fold lines, making it easy to produce a hanger that is strong and easy to assemble.

[0069] When the sheet material is multilayer paper 80, the blend of pulp fibers in each layer of the multilayer paper 80 is preferably such that the mass ratio (%) of softwood kraft pulp to the hardwood kraft pulp in the surface layer 81 is 0 / 100 or more and 15 / 85 or less. In addition to the surface layer 81 having this blend, the mass ratio (%) of softwood kraft pulp to the hardwood kraft pulp in the middle layer 82 is preferably 15 / 85 or more and 35 / 65 or less. Since the middle layer contains a large amount of hardwood kraft pulp, which is rigid and easily densified, and the surface layer has high density and rigid characteristics, while the middle layer contains a large amount of softwood kraft pulp, which is more flexible than the surface layer, the hanger is likely to be strong even when folded at each fold line or folded repeatedly during assembly.

[0070] Furthermore, when the sheet material is multi-layered paper 80, it is preferable that at least one of a sizing agent and a paper strength agent is added to the multi-layered paper 80 as a papermaking additive. This makes it easier to adjust the strength to the desired level. The multi-layered paper 80 can contain various other additives within a range that does not impair the intended effect of the present invention. For example, polyvinyl alcohol, wax, etc. can be applied.

[0071] Examples of sizing agents include styrene-based sizing agents, alkyl ketene dimers (AKD), alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), neutral rosin sizing agents, rosin sizing agents, modified rosin emulsion sizing agents, etc. Among these, rosin sizing agents and modified rosin emulsion sizing agents are preferred. The rosin sizing agent is not particularly limited. Examples of rosin-based substances include reinforced rosins obtained by modifying rosins such as gum rosin, wood rosin, and tall oil rosin with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids or their anhydrides such as fumaric acid, maleic acid, and acrylic acid, and rosin esters obtained by reacting rosins with polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin, trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, and diglycerin. In addition, the rosin sizing agents include those obtained by emulsifying these alone or a mixture thereof, and those obtained by emulsifying these alone and then mixing them. In addition, those obtained by adding various polymers to the emulsions in order to further improve the size expression are also included.

[0072] As the paper strength enhancer, various known ones such as polyacrylamide resin, polyamide resin, polyamine resin, acrylic resin, melamine resin, urea resin, polyamide epichlorohydrin resin, etc. can be used. Among these, it is preferable to use an amphoteric paper strength enhancer. Examples of amphoteric polyacrylamides include copolymers of acrylamide with anionic monomers and cationic monomers, Mannich modified copolymers of acrylamide with anionic monomers, and Hoffman decomposition products. In particular, amphoteric polyacrylamides have a self-fixing function, so that even if they are added in an increased amount to improve the inter-paper strength, they do not become excessively cationic, and can be stably fixed by including them together with a modified rosin emulsion sizing agent.

[0073] The amount of sizing agent added is preferably 0.5 kg / t or more and 5.0 kg / t or less in terms of solids. The amount of paper strength agent added is preferably 12 kg / t or more and 30 kg / t or less in terms of solids. Note that "kg / t" indicates the mass (kg) per ton of pulp. If the amount of sizing agent added is within this range, water resistance will increase, making it easier to maintain sufficient strength even when wet clothes or towels are hung over it.

[0074] Furthermore, when the sheet material is multilayer paper 80, it is preferable to add at least one of the above-mentioned sizing agent and paper strength enhancer as a papermaking additive to each of the surface layer 81 and the middle layer 82 of the multilayer paper 80. In this case, the amount of sizing agent added to the surface layer 81 is preferably 0.5 kg / t or more and 5.0 kg / t or less in solids. The amount of sizing agent added to the middle layer 82 is preferably 2.0 kg / t or more and 5.0 kg / t or less in solids. The amount of paper strength enhancer added to each layer is preferably 12 kg / t or more and 30 kg / t or less in solids. Within these ranges, it is easy to achieve various paper strengths, such as interlayer strength of the multilayer paper suitable for hangers.

[0075] Furthermore, the hanger according to the present embodiment preferably contains a siloxane compound. When the hanger contains a siloxane compound, the stiffness, strength, and water resistance are increased by siloxane bonds. The siloxane compound is not necessarily limited as long as it has a siloxane bond, but since the hanger 1 is used to hang clothes that come into contact with the human body, it is preferable that the siloxane compound is non-toxic or has low toxicity to living organisms. In addition, the siloxane compound may be applied to the assembled hanger, or may be impregnated into a sheet material before assembly or a sheet material as a raw material with an appropriate alkoxysilane solution or an alkoxysilane solution processed product, and then heated or heated to contain the siloxane compound. In this way, the siloxane compound is preferably contained in the pulp fiber itself or in a manner of coating the pulp fiber.

[0076] Furthermore, the hanger according to the present embodiment may be coated with or impregnated with a surface protective agent, an antibacterial agent, or an antiviral agent, as long as the friction coefficient, surface roughness, and folding suitability are not excessively changed and the function of the hanger and the effects of the present invention are not hindered.
