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 clothing at dry cleaners and homes (see Patent Documents 1 and 2 below). Also, in hotels, inns, and other accommodation facilities, hard plastic or wooden hangers are often provided in the closets provided in the rooms for guests to use.

[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 Document 3 and Patent Document 4 below. Unlike injection-molded plastic hangers, these hangers are formed by folding and assembling a single thin sheet material, so they can be transported and stored in sheet form, and are excellent in terms of storability and portability. For example, they can be delivered in sheet form to stores and accommodation facilities, stored in a back yard in sheet form, and assembled and used when needed. They can also be easily disposed of. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [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 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, the hanger of Patent Document 3 has a thin plate-like body, which allows the shoulder pad to be formed, but does not have a three-dimensional shape with sufficient thickness and width, so there is a risk of wrinkles or deformation of clothes after long-term use. In particular, it is not suitable for hanging heavy clothes such as coats, suits, and dresses. In addition, since the hanger body is thin, it does not have the design quality of the luxurious three-dimensional wooden hanger or plastic hanger disclosed in Patent Document 2.

[0008] The hanger disclosed in Patent Document 4 has a wide shoulder area to prevent clothes from wrinkling or losing their shape, but requires adhesive to join the hook and main body. In addition, since there is no hook in the center of the thick main body, and the thin plate-shaped hook is attached to one side of the thick main body, there is a risk that the adhesive will come off when heavy clothes are hung on the hanger. In addition, there is no bar for hanging slacks or pants, so it is not suitable for hanging suits.

[0009] Furthermore, Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 4 In both hangers, the hook portion is fixed to the main body and is not structured to rotate relative to the main body, resulting in poor operability during use.

[0010] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a hanger which can be assembled from a sheet without using adhesives or adhesive tapes, which has a three-dimensional shape which is unlikely to cause wrinkles or deformation in the clothes, which is strong enough to hang heavy clothes, and which further has excellent operability with a rotating hook portion, and further to provide a hanger which also has a bar portion for hanging slacks, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0022] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Figs. 1 to 14. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated shape or this embodiment. Within the scope of the present invention, the detailed shape and position of each part can be changed within a range that does not impede the effect of the present invention. In addition, the terms "front", "back", "top", "bottom", "left" and "right" in the present invention and this specification change depending on the position of the viewer and are not terms that indicate absolute positions. In the hanger of this embodiment, the "front" and "back" do not necessarily have to coincide with the front and back when in use. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. do not necessarily indicate the order of operation.

[0023] The hanger 1 according to this embodiment is a clothes hanger, and in a usage form has a hanger body 2 for hanging clothes, and a hook part 3 having a sickle-shaped hook portion 3F for hanging on a support.

[0024] The hanger main body 2 has a top 10 to which the hook portion 3 is connected, a pair of shoulder portions 40A (40B) extending diagonally outwardly to the left and right from the top 10 and gradually widening toward the shoulder tips 40E, and a connecting portion 60 connecting the shoulder portions 40A (40B) to each other. In particular, the shoulder portions 40A (40B) are wide and have a thick, three-dimensional shape overall.

[0025] In this hanger 1, the hanger body 2 and the hook portion 3 are both formed from a single thin sheet.

[0026] As shown in the developed state of Fig. 2, the shoulder 40A of the hanger body 2 has a shoulder front forming piece 41, an upper shoulder forming piece 42 connected to the shoulder front forming piece 41 via a first shoulder fold line 51, and a back shoulder forming piece 43 connected to the upper shoulder forming piece 42 via a second shoulder fold line 52. The shoulder 40A in the form of Figs. 1 to 9 also has a bottom shoulder forming piece 44 connected to each of the shoulder front forming piece 41 and the back shoulder forming piece 43 via a third shoulder fold line 53.

[0027] The shoulder 40A has a first fold line 51 and a second fold line 52 folded in a mountain fold, and the shoulder front forming piece 41, the upper shoulder forming piece 42, and the shoulder back forming piece 43 are connected in a cross section of a substantially U-shaped shape, and has a three-dimensional shape in which the shoulder front forming piece 41 is the shoulder front part 41a, the upper shoulder forming piece 42 is the shoulder upper part 42a, and the shoulder back forming piece 43 is the shoulder back part 43a. Here, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the folding angles of the first fold line 51 and the second fold line 52 do not need to be the same, and by changing the folding angles, an asymmetric shape can be formed on the front side and the back side. In addition, the lengths of the first fold line 51 and the second fold line 52 do not need to be the same. If either one is shortened, the shoulder is configured to protrude toward the shortened side, and an asymmetric shape can be formed on the front side and the back side. 1 to 9, for example, the shoulder second fold line 52 is short, and the shoulder 40A protrudes toward the back side. In this way, the shape makes it easy to distinguish between the front and back.

[0028] In addition, at least one of the shoulder front forming piece 41, the shoulder upper forming piece 42, and the shoulder back forming piece 43 is configured to gradually widen from the top 10 side toward the shoulder tip 40E, thereby forming a wide, three-dimensional shoulder 40A (40B) in a top view. The specific shapes of the shoulder front forming piece 41, the shoulder upper forming piece 42, and the shoulder back forming piece 43 are not necessarily limited, but in the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 9, the shoulder upper forming piece 42 has a shape in which the edge of the shoulder tip 40E side curves gradually approaches and gradually becomes narrower, and the shoulder front forming piece 41 and the shoulder back forming piece 43 have a shape in which the end portion on the shoulder tip 40E side gradually widens. The shapes of the shoulder front forming piece 41 and the shoulder back forming piece 43 do not need to be the same, and in the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 10, the shoulder tip side of the shoulder back forming piece 43 is formed to be wider than the shoulder tip side of the shoulder front forming piece 41. In this way, shoulder portion 40A has asymmetric shoulder tip shapes on the front side and rear side.

[0029] Here, the shoulder portion 40A of the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 9 preferably has a triangular front shoulder end piece 45 extending from the shoulder front forming piece 41 via a shoulder end first fold line 54, and a triangular back shoulder end piece 46 extending from the shoulder back forming piece 43 via a shoulder end second fold line 55, and these are connected via a center fold line 56 extending from the tip of the shoulder upper forming piece 42. The shoulder end first fold line 54 and the shoulder end second fold line 55 are mountain folded, and the center fold line 56 is valley folded, and by these folds, the front shoulder end piece 45 and the back shoulder end piece 46 are brought close to each other so as to enter between the shoulder front forming piece 41 and the shoulder back forming piece 43, and are center folded.

[0030] 1 to 9 preferably has a first shoulder bottom edge forming piece 47 extending from the front shoulder piece 45 via a tip fold line 57, and a second shoulder bottom edge forming piece 48 extending from the back shoulder piece 46 via the tip fold line 57. The first shoulder bottom edge forming piece 47 and the second shoulder bottom edge forming piece 48 are arranged so as to overlap and be stacked by inserting the front shoulder piece 45 and the back shoulder piece 46 between the shoulder front forming piece 41 and the shoulder back forming piece 43 while folding the tip fold line 57 in a valley-folded state or while folding the tip fold line in a valley-folded state, and this stacking forms a shoulder bottom edge 47a on the bottom side of the shoulder tip 40E of the shoulder 40A. In the illustrated form, there is an insertion piece 47A extending from the first shoulder bottom edge forming piece 47, and a slit-shaped insertion portion 48B formed between the second shoulder bottom edge forming piece 48 and the front shoulder piece 46. When the first shoulder bottom edge forming piece 47 and the second shoulder bottom edge forming piece 48 are stacked, the insertion piece 47A can be inserted into the insertion portion 48B, and this insertion connects the first shoulder bottom edge forming piece 47 and the second shoulder bottom edge forming piece 48 and stacks them together.

[0031] In the shoulder portion 40A of the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 9, preferably, when the shoulder end bottom edge portion 47a is formed at the bottom of the shoulder end 40E by laminating and integrating the first shoulder end bottom edge portion forming piece 47 and the second shoulder end bottom edge portion forming piece 48, the shoulder end first folding line 54, the shoulder end second folding line 55, and the edge 47E of the shoulder end bottom edge portion 47a form a triangle, and the end of the shoulder end 40E forms a truss structure. Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiment, it forms a three-dimensional truss structure together with the center folding line 56. In this embodiment, the strength in the vicinity of the shoulder end 40E is particularly improved, so that the risk of the tip of the shoulder portion 40A sagging or bending is significantly reduced even when heavy clothing is hung. However, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the front side shoulder end piece 45, the back side shoulder end piece 46, the first shoulder end bottom edge portion forming piece 47, and the second shoulder end bottom edge portion forming piece 48 may not be required. The shoulder portion 40A can be formed without these pieces.

[0032] On the other hand, the connecting portion 60 in the hanger 1 of this embodiment has a connecting portion front portion 61 located between the shoulder front forming pieces 41 and integrally connected to each shoulder front forming piece 41, a pair of connecting portion back forming pieces 62 extending from each shoulder back forming piece 43, and an engaging portion 63 formed on each connecting portion back forming piece 62 and connecting the connecting portion back forming pieces 62 to each other to form a connecting portion back portion 62a. The connecting portion front portion 61 is not limited, but it is preferable that it forms an area integral with the shoulder front forming piece 41 without a fold line or the like.

[0033] The connecting portion 60 in the hanger 1 of this embodiment is configured such that the engaging portions 63 formed on the connecting portion back surface forming pieces 62 are in close proximity to each other by folding the shoulder portion first fold line 51 and the shoulder portion second fold line 52, and the engaging portions 63 are engaged to form the connecting portion back surface portion 62a facing the connecting portion front surface portion 61. In the illustrated embodiment, the engaging portions 63 are engaging grooves formed on the connecting portion back surface forming pieces 62, and the engaging grooves are easily connected by interlocking with each other. However, the engagement between the engaging portions is not limited to this. For example, the engaging portions may be engaged by inserting an insert piece into a slit-shaped insert portion to connect them. However, it is preferable to use a form in which the engaging grooves are interlocked with each other as shown in the figure. This engaging form provides a strong connection in the pulling direction, and therefore can provide a strong connection against the force that tends to open the shoulder back surface forming pieces 43 when heavy clothing is hung, etc.

[0034] On the other hand, the connecting part 60 in the hanger 1 of this embodiment is provided with a connecting part bottom surface forming piece 65 connected to the connecting part back surface forming piece 62 via a connecting part fold line 64, and the connecting part fold line 64 is folded in a mountain shape so that the connecting part bottom surface forming piece 65 forms the connecting part bottom surface portion 65a. If the connecting part 60 has the connecting part bottom surface portion 65a formed in this way, it is desirable because the area between the connecting part back surface portion 62a and the connecting part front surface portion 61 is less likely to be crushed.

[0035] On the other hand, the top 10 in the hanger 1 of this embodiment has a top first bottom surface forming piece 11 connected to the bottom edge of the connecting portion front portion 61 via a top first fold line 21, a top back surface forming piece 12 connected to the top first bottom surface forming piece 11 via a top second fold line 22, a top top surface forming piece 13 connected to the top back surface forming piece 12 via a top third fold line 23, a connection hole 14 to which the hook portion 3 formed on the top top surface forming piece 13 is connected, a top front surface forming piece 15 connected to the top top surface forming piece 13 via a top fourth fold line 24, a top second bottom surface forming piece 16 connected to the top front surface forming piece 15 via a top fifth fold line 25, a top insertion piece 17 connected to the top second bottom surface forming piece 16 via a top sixth fold line 26, and a top insertion portion 18 into which the top insertion piece 17 is inserted.

[0036] The top 10 in the hanger 1 of this embodiment is configured so that, when the connecting portion back surface forming piece 62 is engaged to form the connecting portion back surface portion 62a, the top first fold line 21, the top second fold line 22, the top third fold line 23, the top fourth fold line 24, the top fifth fold line 25, and the top sixth fold line 26 are mountain folded to surround the connecting portion 60. That is, the top first fold line 21, the top second fold line 22, the top third fold line 23, the top fourth fold line 24, the top fifth fold line 25, and the top sixth fold line 26 are mountain folded, so that the top first bottom surface forming piece 11 becomes the top first bottom surface portion 11a that supports the bottom edge side of the connecting portion front surface portion 61 and the connecting portion back surface portion 62a, the top back surface forming piece 12 becomes the top back surface portion 12a that overlaps the connecting portion back surface portion 62a, and the top top surface forming piece 13 becomes the top top surface forming piece 13 that is connected to the hook portion 3. The top top surface portion 13a has a connection hole 14 through which the connecting hole 14 is inserted, the top front forming piece 15 has a top front surface portion 15a that overlaps the connecting portion front surface portion 61, and the top second bottom surface forming piece 16 has a top second bottom surface portion 16a that overlaps the top first bottom surface portion 11a.The top insertion piece 17 is capable of being inserted into the top insertion portion 18, and the top insertion piece 17 is formed by being inserted into the top insertion portion 18.

[0037] The position and shape of top insertion piece 17 and top insertion portion 18 are not limited. In the illustrated embodiment, top insertion portion 18 is a slit hole located between top first bottom surface forming piece 11 and top back surface forming piece 12, and top 10 is formed by inserting top insertion piece 17 into top insertion portion 18 which is this slit hole. Top back surface forming piece 12 is located in a position overlapping connecting portion back surface portion 62a, so when top insertion portion 18 is in this position, top insertion piece 17 is inserted so as to overlap connecting portion back surface portion 62a which is also the engaging portion of connecting portion back surface forming piece 62, which is desirable because the fragile engaging portion 63 is further reinforced.

[0038] In a preferred form, the top 10 of the hanger 1 in this embodiment has a top side forming piece 19 connected to the top top surface forming piece 13 via a top seventh fold line 27, a shoulder upper connecting piece 19E connected to the top side surface forming piece 19 via a top eighth fold line 28, a top second front forming piece 15B connected to the top side surface forming piece 19 via a top ninth fold line 29A and connected to the top front forming piece 15 via a top tenth fold line 29B, and a top second back forming piece 12B connected to the top side surface forming piece 19 via a top eleventh fold line 29C and connected to the top back surface forming piece 12 via a top twelfth fold line 29D.

[0039] The top 10 is folded such that the seventh top fold line 27 is mountain folded, the eighth top fold line 28 is valley folded, the ninth top fold line 29A and the eleventh top fold line 29C are valley folded, and the tenth top fold line 29B and the twelfth top fold line 29D are mountain folded, so that the top side forming piece 19 becomes the top side surface portion 19a that hangs down from the top surface portion 13a, and the shoulder upper connecting piece 19E extends from the bottom edge side of the top side surface portion 19a to the shoulder upper portion. The shoulder upper connecting piece 19e is connected to the portion 42a, the top second front forming piece 15B overlaps the top front portion 15a, and the top second back surface forming piece 12B overlaps the top back portion 12a, and at least a portion of the shoulder upper connecting piece 19E, the top side forming piece 19, the top second front forming piece 15B and the top second back surface forming piece 12B are positioned between the connecting portion front portion 61 and the connecting portion back portion 62a.

[0040] In this preferred form of the top 10, the top second front forming piece 15B and the top front part 15a overlap, and the top second back forming piece 12B overlaps the top back part 12a, so that the top front part 15a and a part of the top back part 12a have a double structure and strength is increased. Furthermore, the top side part 19a is suspended from the top top part 13a, and the top side part 19a, the top second front forming piece 15B, and a part of the top second back forming piece 12B are located between the connecting part front part 61 and the connecting part back part 62a, so that the area between the connecting part front part 61 and the connecting part back part 62a is extremely difficult to crush. Furthermore, the shoulder upper connecting part 19e is formed, which is connected from the bottom edge side of the top side part 19a to the shoulder upper part 42a, so that the strength is increased especially at the connection position between the shoulder 40A and the connecting part 60. In particular, since the top portion 10 is the portion to which the hook portion 3 is connected, it is desirable for the top portion 10 to have high strength, and therefore it is preferable to give the top portion 10 such a preferred shape.

[0041] On the other hand, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the hook part 3 has a hook part upper part 3T having a hook portion 3F and an insertion lower part 3U inserted into the connection hole 14, and the insertion lower part 3U is inserted into the connection hole 14 formed in the top surface part 13a and is connected to the hanger body part 2 so as to be freely rotatable. The method of connecting the hook part 3 and the hanger body part 2 is not limited. The illustrated form is a preferred form, and has a characteristic and unique structure that allows the hook part 3 to rotate smoothly, is easy to assemble, has a strong connection, and prevents the hook part 3 from coming off the connection hole 14.

[0042] That is, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the connection hole 14 has a circular hole portion 14A and an enlarged diameter portion 14B for insertion extending from the outer edge of the circular hole portion 14A, and the hook portion 3 has a hook portion main body piece 30 and a slip-out prevention piece 35. The hook portion main body piece 30 and the slip-out prevention piece 35 are thin plate-shaped and formed from a single sheet material. As shown in FIG. 8(A), the hook portion main body piece 30 and the slip-out prevention piece 35 may have a single-layer structure in which a sheet material is cut into the shapes of the hook portion main body piece 30 and the slip-out prevention piece 35, or as shown in FIG. 8(B), the parts forming the shapes of the hook portion main body piece 30 and the slip-out prevention piece 35 may be formed line-symmetrically with respect to a folding line P, and the folding line P may be folded back to form a double-layer structure. In this case, the strength of each part is further increased.

[0043] The hook main body piece 30 has an insertion lower part 3U that is wider than the diameter of the circular hole portion 14A and can pass only through the insertion enlarged diameter portion 14B, a pair of guide groove portions 31 formed on the upper part of the insertion lower part 3U and arranged so that the groove bottoms face each other, and a long and narrow anti-slip piece insertion hole 32 formed between the guide groove portions in a direction perpendicular to the guide groove portions 31.

[0044] The hook body piece 30 is connected to the top 10 so that the insertion lower part 3U of the hook body piece 30 is inserted below the top top surface part 13a through the connection hole 14, the outer edge part 14e of the circular hole part 14A fits into the guide groove part 31, and the hook body upper part 3T is erected on the top top surface part 13a, and the hook body piece 30 is connected to the top 10 so that it can rotate freely in the circumferential direction of the circular hole part 14A as guided by the outer edge part 14e of the circular hole part 14A and the guide groove part 31. The hook body piece 30 can have the insertion lower part 3U inserted below the top top surface part 13a through the insertion enlarged diameter part 14B, and the hook body piece 30 is rotated in the circumferential direction of the circular hole part 14A at a position where the guide groove part 31 and the outer edge part 14e of the circular hole part 14A coincide with each other, so that the guide groove part 31 fits into the outer edge part 14e of the circular hole part 14A.

[0045] The enlarged diameter insertion portion 14B extending from the outer edge of the circular hole 14A is formed to be approximately the same thickness as or slightly wider than the hook body piece 30. In the illustrated embodiment, which is a particularly preferred embodiment, the enlarged diameter insertion portion 14B is formed by a substantially U-shaped slit rather than punching, and a tongue piece 14b is formed. In this embodiment, the tongue piece 14b becomes a barb and more effectively prevents the hook body piece 30 from coming off after the insertion lower portion 3U is inserted.

[0046] Fall-off prevention piece 35 has bottom edge 35E wider than the diameter of circular hole 14A, and is inserted into fall-off prevention piece insertion hole 32 of hook body piece 30, thereby standing on top surface 13a. In this embodiment, hook body piece 30 and fall-off prevention piece 35 are arranged in a cross shape when viewed from the top, as shown in Fig. 5 in particular, and are stood on top surface 13a, so that at the connection position, hook body piece 30 is preferably prevented from breaking, particularly near the edge of circular hole 14A, and hook 3 is easily rotated.

[0047] The illustrated embodiment of the fall-off prevention piece 35 has a groove 36 at its upper portion, which is a notched structure with the upper portion of the fall-off prevention piece insertion hole 32 formed in the hook body piece 30. Therefore, after the fall-off prevention piece 35 is inserted into the fall-off prevention piece insertion hole 32, the fall-off prevention piece 35 is configured to be slidable upward from the insertion position to a position where the bottom of the groove 36 of the fall-off prevention piece 35 and the upper edge of the fall-off prevention piece insertion hole 32 abut. In the illustrated embodiment, the fall-off prevention piece 35 is configured such that when the fall-off prevention piece 35 is slid upward, the bottom edge 35E of the fall-off prevention piece 35 is located above the guide groove 31 of the hook body piece 30, and the hook body piece 30 can be inserted into the connection hole 14 with the hook body piece 30 and the fall-off prevention piece 35 assembled together. Furthermore, when the hook portion 3 and the top surface portion 13a are connected, the notched structure does not come off and the bottom edge 35E of the anti-slip piece 35 is positioned above the connection hole 14, so that in the connected state, the anti-slip piece 35 does not come off from the anti-slip piece insertion hole 32. In this manner, in the illustrated form, the hook portion main body piece 30 and the anti-slip piece 35 are erected in a cross shape on the connection hole 14 when viewed from the top, so that the hook portion 3 rotates smoothly and is not easily broken. Furthermore, assembly is easy without the need for adhesives or the like, and furthermore, the connection strength and the hook portion 3 is effectively prevented from coming off from the connection hole 14.

[0048] 8(A), the hook portion is more prevented from coming off, and the top surface 13a is substantially double-layered, reinforcing the connection. The reinforcing piece 38 has a circular hole and an expanded diameter portion for insertion in the same shape as the connection hole 14, and the lower insertion portion 3U of the hook portion 3 can be inserted with the connection hole 14, the expanded diameter portion for insertion 14B, and the expanded diameter portion for insertion 14C of the reinforcing piece 38 aligned. After insertion, the positions of the connection hole 14, the expanded diameter portion for insertion 14B, and the expanded diameter portion for insertion 14C of the reinforcing piece are misaligned, making it more difficult for the hook portion 3 to come off.

[0049] On the other hand, the hanger 1 of this embodiment preferably has a hanging bar 70 connected to each end of the pair of shoulder parts 40A and bridging between the shoulder parts 40A so that slacks, pants, etc. can be hung. This hanging bar 70 is also assembled from a single sheet material. As shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4, this hanging bar 70 characteristically has a bar part 71 whose upper part has a wavy edge 70E.

[0050] The bar portion 71 is formed into a slender rod shape with a V-shaped cross section by bending a pair of elongated bar forming pieces 75 connected via the bar forming folding line 72 at the bar forming folding line 72. As shown in FIG. 9 in a developed state before folding, the wavy edge 70E of the bar portion 71 is formed by bending the bar forming folding line 72 at the bar forming folding line 72 to form a wavy slit 70S with peaks 73 and valleys 74 arranged alternately on either side of the extending position of the bar forming folding line 72, and the edge of the slit 70S is raised. Therefore, the wavy edge 70E has peaks and valleys alternately positioned in each bar forming piece 75 in the direction along the bar forming folding line 72, and the peaks and valleys of the folded bar forming pieces 75 face each other. The bending angle between the pair of bar forming pieces 75 is not limited. Increasing the angle between the bar forming pieces 75 results in a shape that is wide and has small peaks and valleys, while decreasing the angle between the bar forming pieces 75 results in a shape that is narrow and has large peaks and valleys. These can be adjusted as appropriate. The height and depth of the peaks 73 and valleys 74 are not limited. They can be designed as appropriate. In addition, in the illustrated embodiment, the portion that is the wavy edge 70E is formed in two places, but the length and number of the wavy edges 70E are not limited. They can be designed as appropriate. The bar 71 can easily form a wavy edge by simply folding the sheet material, and can also be made into a thick three-dimensional shape. In addition, since the peaks and valleys are alternately positioned on each piece, it is effective to prevent clothes such as pants from slipping off when hung. Furthermore, it has a characteristic design in which the peaks 73 and valleys 74 of each folded bar forming piece 75 face each other.

[0051] In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the connection form between the hanging bar 70 and the shoulder portion 40A is not limited. In the form shown in Figs. 1 to 9, a connecting plug piece 77 is formed on both ends of each bar forming piece 75, and a connecting plug hole 78 is formed on the lower part of each end of the shoulder portion 40A, and the plug pieces 77 are inserted into the plug holes 78 to connect without using adhesives or the like. In particular, in the form shown in Figs. 1 to 9, as a preferred form, the plug pieces 77 are inserted into the plug holes 78 formed on the front side shoulder end piece 45 and the back side shoulder end piece 46, which form a three-dimensional truss at the tip of the shoulder portion 40A, and the strength of the hanging bar against downward pulling is high.

[0052] Next, another embodiment of the hanger 1 of this embodiment, which has a different shoulder from the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 9, will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 13. The hanger 1 according to this embodiment has a different structure of the hanging bar 70 in addition to the shoulder 40B. However, the hanging bar 70 may be the hanging bar described in the embodiment of Figs. 1 to 9. The hanging bar of the embodiment shown in Figs. 11 to 13 may also be the hanging bar of the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 9. The structure of the shoulder, such as the connecting portion 60, the top portion 10, the hook portion 3, and the connection between the hook portion 3 and the top portion 10, and the configuration other than the hanging bar are the same as those of the embodiment of Figs. 1 to 9 described above.

[0053] 10 to 13, the shoulder upper forming piece 42 of the hanger has a shape that gradually widens toward the shoulder tip 40E, unlike the shoulder 40A of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 to 9. The shoulder 40B has a shoulder front forming piece 41, a shoulder upper forming piece 42 connected to the shoulder front forming piece 41 via a shoulder first fold line 51, and a shoulder back forming piece 43 connected to the shoulder upper forming piece 42 via a shoulder second fold line 52, as well as a shoulder bottom forming piece 44 connected to the shoulder back forming piece 43 via a shoulder third fold line 53, and a shoulder standing surface forming piece 49 connected to the end of the shoulder bottom forming piece 44 on the shoulder tip 40E side via a shoulder fourth fold line 59.

[0054] This shoulder 40B is formed into a box shape by folding the first shoulder fold line 51, the second shoulder fold line 52, and the third shoulder fold line 53, with the shoulder front forming piece 41 as the shoulder front portion 41a, the shoulder upper forming piece 42 as the shoulder upper portion 42a, the shoulder back forming piece 43 as the shoulder back portion 43a, and the shoulder bottom forming piece 44 as the shoulder bottom portion 44a. Furthermore, the fourth shoulder fold line 59 is folded to form a shoulder standing surface portion 49a at the end on the shoulder tip side of the shoulder bottom portion 44a, and an upper edge 49E of the shoulder standing surface portion 49a is positioned on the bottom side of the shoulder upper portion 42a to support it.

[0055] In this shoulder portion 40B, it is particularly desirable that the shoulder bottom portion 44a and the shoulder front portion 41a are connected to make this box-shaped structure strong. In the illustrated embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, shoulder portion 40B further has a shoulder insert portion forming piece 145 connected to shoulder bottom surface forming piece 44 via shoulder fifth fold line 155, a shoulder insert piece 146 connected to shoulder front surface forming piece 41 via shoulder sixth fold line 156, and a shoulder insert portion 147 formed between shoulder bottom surface forming piece 44 and shoulder insert portion forming piece 145 into which shoulder insert piece 146 is inserted. When shoulder fifth fold line 155 and shoulder sixth fold line 156 are folded, shoulder insert piece 146 is inserted into shoulder insert portion 147, and shoulder bottom portion 44a and shoulder front portion 41a are connected without the use of adhesive or the like to form a sturdy box-shaped structure.

[0056] In the structure of the shoulder 40B of the hanger 1 of the embodiment shown in Figs. 10 to 13, the edge of the shoulder tip 40E side of the shoulder upper forming piece 42 can be extended further toward the shoulder tip side than the edges of the shoulder front part 41a and the shoulder back part 43a on the shoulder tip 40E side, and the shape of the edge of the shoulder upper part 42a can be freely formed, thereby improving the design. In the illustrated embodiment, the edge is curved, and the design is soft and easy to feel luxurious. In addition, in the illustrated embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, the shoulder upper part 42a formed by the shoulder upper forming piece 42 between the shoulder front part 41a formed by the shoulder front forming piece 41 and the shoulder back part 43a formed by the shoulder back forming piece 43 forms a curved surface with the top surface side convex from the front side to the back side. In addition, in the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of fold lines 42S are formed in parallel from the top 10 side toward the shoulder tip 40E side to easily form the curved surface of the shoulder upper part 42a. In addition, these fold lines 42S are arranged so that they are spaced apart from each other from the top 10 side toward the shoulder 40E side, so that the shape that widens from the top 10 side toward the shoulder 40E side presents a luxurious design.

[0057] 10 to 13, the shoulder portion 40B of the hanger 1 of the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 to 13 has different shapes between the shoulder front forming piece 41 and the shoulder back forming piece 43, and in particular, the shoulder front portion 41a formed by the shoulder front forming piece 41 and the shoulder back portion 43a formed by the shoulder back forming piece 43 have different widths (heights). Therefore, the shoulder upper portion 42a formed by the shoulder upper forming piece 42 is configured to be slightly downwardly inclined from the back side to the front side, and when a garment is hung with the back side of the hanger 1 aligned with the back side of the garment, the shoulder portion easily follows the shoulder line of the garment, and the occurrence of wrinkles in the garment is more effectively prevented.

[0058] 10 to 13, the hanging bar 70 has an extension piece 79 for positioning the bar portion 71 downward and away from the shoulder portion 40B. The hanging bar 70 is assembled from a single sheet material, and in its unfolded state, as shown in Fig. 13, has a pair of elongated bar portion forming pieces 75 connected via a bar portion forming bending line 72, and a wave-shaped slit 70S arranged such that peaks and valleys are alternately positioned on either side of the extending position of the bar portion forming bending line 72. The hanging bar 70 having the extension piece 79 further includes an extension piece first forming part 79A extending integrally from the end of one of the bar part forming pieces 75, and a second extension piece forming part 79B connected to the end of the one of the bar part forming pieces 75 via a folding line 79S and having a shape symmetrical to the first extension piece forming part at the folding line 79S, and is configured to form the extension piece 79 by folding the second extension piece forming part 79B over the extension piece first forming part 79A at the folding line 79S. The bar part 71 has the same configuration as the hanger of the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 9, and a wavy edge 70E is formed at the upper part. The hanging bar 70 has a substantially U-shaped shape in front view with the bar part bridging the lower ends of the pair of extension pieces 79 as shown in the figure.

[0059] Even in the hanging bar 70 having the extension piece 79, the connection form with the shoulder portion 40B is not limited. R In the illustrated embodiment, an insertion hole 79X is formed in the shoulder bottom surface forming piece 44 of the shoulder 40B, and when it is formed into the shoulder bottom surface 44a, the insertion hole 79X is located on the bottom surface side of the shoulder 40B, and further, the tip of the extension piece 79 is configured to form a hook-shaped locking piece 79Y, and this locking piece 79Y is inserted into and locked in the insertion hole 79X, thereby achieving connection.

[0060] Furthermore, the hanging bar 70 of the hanger 1 of the embodiment shown in Figs. 10 to 13 has a clamping bar 80 that clamps a garment between itself and the bar portion 71 as a particularly preferred embodiment. The clamping bar 80 is also made of a single sheet material, and has a pair of elongated clamping bar forming pieces 82 connected via a fold line 81, and a pair of through holes 83 located between the clamping bar forming pieces at each end of the pair of clamping bar forming pieces 82. The clamping bar forming piece 82 is approximately the same size as the bar portion forming piece, and is formed into a V-shaped cross section with a convex upper surface via the fold line 81. The angle between the clamping bar forming pieces 82 is not limited, but is formed so as to overlap the bar portion 71.

[0061] On the other hand, the through holes 83 of the clamping bar 80 are large enough to allow the extension pieces 79 to be loosely fitted, and the extension pieces 79 are loosely fitted into each through hole 83, bridging the clamping bar 80 so that it can move up and down between the extension pieces 79. Therefore, with this hanging bar 70, when an article of clothing such as pants is hung on the bar portion 71 of the hanging bar 70 and the clamping bar 80 is placed over the bar portion 71, the clothing is clamped between the bar portion 71 and the clamping bar 80, more effectively preventing the clothing from falling off.

[0062] Here, each fold line in the hanger 1 of this embodiment is a line for easily folding back or folding the sheet material, and may be a line simply printed for positioning, but is preferably a ruled line, also called a fold line, a perforation, or a half slit. In addition, it is not necessary for all lines to be the same type, and for example, the first fold line and the second fold line forming the shoulder part can be fold lines, and the fold lines in the wavy slits forming the bar part can be half slits, and they can be appropriately arranged in consideration of the required strength and the stress required for folding. 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.

[0063] In the case where the fold 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 significantly 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. The measurement is performed at a pulling speed of 20mm / min and a load cell capacity of 1KN.

[0064] The hanger of the present embodiment described above can be assembled by simply folding one sheet material and engaging or inserting the pieces, without using adhesives or adhesive tapes. The shoulder upper forming piece 42 can be formed wide, and the shoulder front part 41a and the shoulder back part 43a formed by the shoulder front forming piece 41 and the shoulder back forming piece 43 can form wide, three-dimensional shoulder parts 40A, 40B, which are three-dimensional shapes that are unlikely to wrinkle or lose their shape when clothes are hung on them. In addition to the configuration of the shoulder parts 40A, 40B, each piece constituting the top part 10 is configured to surround and cover the connecting part 60, and in a particularly preferred form, the top side part 19a is formed, which can provide sufficient strength for hanging heavy clothes in particular. Furthermore, the hook part 3 has excellent operability when rotating, is unlikely to come off, and can be firmly connected to the hanger main body part 2. Furthermore, it is possible to have a bar part 71 for hanging pants, slacks, etc. Furthermore, the sheet materials constituting each part can be made of paper made from pulp fibers, achieving a plastic-free society.

[0065] Here, a sheet material particularly suitable for the hanger 1 of this embodiment will be described. As described above, the sheet material of this embodiment is preferably paper made of pulp fibers from the viewpoint of eliminating plastics. 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 plastics. 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. 14, the multi-layer paper 90 has multiple paper layers 91 and 92 laminated therein, so that the characteristics of each layer can be changed, and the multi-layer paper can be easily folded while maintaining strength. For example, by combining a pair of surface layers 91, which are excellent in water resistance and abrasion resistance but are hard but tend to break, with a flexible middle layer 92, the paper becomes excellent in toughness and durability, and can be easily folded and assembled while maintaining 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 90 can be manufactured by multi-layer papermaking. The multi-layer paper 90 may be a commercially available product, such as Eripla Paper manufactured by Dainichi Paper Co., Ltd.

[0066] 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).

[0067] 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.

[0068] 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.

[0069] Furthermore, if 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. If it is within this range, it will have sufficient stiffness and strength as a hanger, and will also be easy to fold and assemble.

[0070] 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.

[0071] 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.

[0072] 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.

[0073] 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.

[0074] When the sheet material is the multilayer paper 90 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 92 is preferably three or more, especially five layers. In particular, the form shown in FIG. 14 has three middle layers 92. It is said that when the total number of middle layers 92 is three or more, the multilayer paper 90 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 92 is preferably seven or less. In addition, three to seven layers make it easier to operate while maintaining interlayer strength when using a cylinder net multi-cylinder type combined papermaking machine.

[0075] When the sheet material is a multi-layer paper 90, the basis weights of the surface layer 91 and the middle layer 92 can be adjusted within the range of the overall basis weight when the sheet material is paper, and are not particularly limited. Preferably, the basis weight of the surface layer 91 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 92 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 91, 91 to the basis weight of the entire multilayer paper 90 is 15.0% or more and 33.0% or less. The pair of surface layers 91 have high rigidity, and the middle layer 92 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.

[0076] When the sheet material is multilayer paper 90, the blend of pulp fibers in each layer of the multilayer paper 90 is preferably such that the surface layer 91 has a mass ratio (%) of softwood kraft pulp to the hardwood kraft pulp of 0 / 100 or more and 15 / 85 or less. In addition to the surface layer 91 having this blend, the middle layer 92 preferably has a mass ratio (%) of softwood kraft pulp to the hardwood kraft pulp of 15 / 85 or more and 35 / 65 or less. The surface layer contains a large amount of hardwood kraft pulp, which is rigid and easily densified, giving the surface layer 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, and therefore the hanger is likely to be one whose strength is not easily reduced even when folded at each fold line or repeatedly folded during assembly.

[0077] Furthermore, when the sheet material is multi-layered paper 90, it is desirable that at least one of a sizing agent and a paper strength agent is added to the multi-layered paper 90 as a papermaking additive. This makes it easier to adjust the strength to the desired level. The multi-layered paper 90 may contain various other additives within a range that does not impair the intended effect of the present invention. For example, polyvinyl alcohol, wax, etc. may be applied.

[0078] 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] 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.

[0081] Furthermore, when the sheet material is multilayer paper 90, it is preferable to add at least one of the above-mentioned sizing agent and paper strength agent as a papermaking additive to each of the surface layer 91 and the middle layer 92 of the multilayer paper 90. In this case, the amount of sizing agent added to the surface layer 91 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 92 is preferably 2.0 kg / t or more and 5.0 kg / t or less in solids. The amount of paper strength agent 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] 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. EXAMPLES

[0084] A hanger (Example) according to the present invention was produced and subjected to a strength test. The hanger according to the embodiment created was assembled without using adhesives or the like from the development shown in Fig. 2, and had a shoulder 40A and hanging bar as shown in Figs. 1 to 10. The size of this hanger was a three-dimensional shape with a length between the shoulder tips of 415 mm, a maximum width of the shoulder of 75 mm, and a distance between the top front part and the top back part of 30 mm. The hook part had a double structure with a hook part main body piece and a slip-out prevention piece as shown in Fig. 8(B), and was connected to the top part so as to be freely rotatable.
