Description

[Technical field]

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

[0002] For example, a tool for holding and suspending an object such as a baseball glove is disclosed in Patent Document 1. Patent Document 1 describes that a suspending part provided at the tip of the tool is used to maintain the shape of the glove while making it easy to carry. In the tool described in Patent Document 1, the shape retaining body for maintaining the shape of the glove is provided with water absorbency. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2000-014857 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, in the case of a baseball glove, it is necessary to remove moisture from the space inside the glove (the space where the hand and fingers are inserted) in order to prevent the generation of mold, odor, etc. Also, even for gloves other than baseball gloves, it is important to remove moisture in order to prevent the generation of mold, odor, etc. However, in the equipment described in Patent Document 1, a water-absorbent shape-retaining body is disposed in the ball-holding portion on the outer surface of the glove, making it difficult to efficiently remove moisture from the space inside the glove.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has as its object to provide a hanging device that can easily suspend an object from above and can efficiently remove moisture from the space inside the object. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides a means for solving the above-mentioned problems as follows: That is, the present invention provides a hanging device for suspending an object from above by attaching a belt to the object, the hanging device comprising a bag that can be inserted into the space inside the object, the belt being fixed to the outer surface of the bag, a metal fitting for hanging being attached to the upper end of the bag, and a moisture absorbent material being enclosed inside the bag.

[0007] According to the above configuration, the moisture in the space inside the object can be efficiently removed by the moisture absorbent material inside the bag inserted into the space inside the object, and the occurrence of mold, odor, etc. in the object can be suppressed. Here, if the object is a baseball glove, the part inside the glove where the fingers are inserted is a relatively narrow space, and moisture is likely to remain. However, according to the above configuration, the bag can be inserted into a relatively deep part of the space inside the glove, and the moisture remaining in the relatively narrow space inside the glove can be efficiently removed.

[0008] In the above configuration, the belt is preferably a belt with a buckle and is length adjustable, so that the hanging tool can be securely attached to the object by adjusting the length of the belt.

[0009] In the above configuration, it is preferable that the width of the lower end of the bag is greater than the width of the upper end, so that after the lower end of the bag is deformed and inserted into the space inside the object, the shape of the lower end of the bag returns to its original state, causing the lower end of the bag to get caught on the object and making it difficult for the bag to come off the object. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, the moisture absorbent material inside the bag inserted into the space inside the object can efficiently remove moisture from the space inside the object, thereby preventing mold, odors, etc. from occurring in the object.

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0013] The schematic configuration of a hanging tool 10 according to the present embodiment is shown in six views of Figures 1 to 6 and in a cross-sectional view of Figure 7. In the following, a case will be described in which an object to be hung from above by hanging tool 10 is a baseball glove 100 (see Figures 8 and 9).

[0014] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the hanging device 10 comprises a bag 20 containing a moisture-absorbing material 21 therein, a belt 30 fixed to the outer surface of the bag 20, and a carabiner (connecting metal fitting) 40 attached to the upper end of the bag 20.

[0015] The bag 20 is made of a material having breathability, such as polyester or knitted fabric. Silica gel is enclosed inside the bag 20 as the moisture absorbent 21. The bag 20 is formed into a shape having a space inside by sewing together the outer edges of a front side member and a back side member having the same shape.

[0016] The bag 20 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front, and the width W1 of the lower end of the bag 20 is larger than the width W2 of the upper end. The shape of the bag 20 can be temporarily changed by applying an external force while the moisture absorbent 21 is sealed inside, but when the external force is no longer acting on the bag 20, the shape of the bag 20 returns to the original shape shown in Figs. 1 to 7. When using the hanging tool 10, the lower end of the bag 20 can be deformed to easily insert the bag 20 into the space 101 inside the glove 100. It is preferable that the width W1 of the lower end of the bag 20 is slightly larger than the width of the insertion opening 102 of the glove 100.

[0017] Silica gel is used as the moisture absorbent 21 in the bag 20, but materials other than silica gel may be used as long as they have a moisture absorbing function. Silica gel has a deodorizing function in addition to a moisture absorbing function, and is preferable from the viewpoint of removing moisture and odors inside the glove 100. Note that multiple types of moisture absorbent 21 may be used.

[0018] The belt 30 is fixed to the outer surface of the bag 20 by being sewn to the bag 20. The belt 30 is a belt with a buckle 31, and the male buckle 31a and the female buckle 31b of the buckle 31 are provided so as to be able to fit together. The male buckle 31a is provided with a length adjustment mechanism for adjusting the length of the belt 30.

[0019] A carabiner 40 is attached to the upper end of the bag 20 via a ring-shaped metal fitting 41. In detail, the ring-shaped metal fitting 41 is attached to a holding portion 42 sewn to the upper end of the bag 20, and the carabiner 40 is connected to the ring-shaped metal fitting 41. Note that the ring-shaped metal fitting 41 may be omitted, and the carabiner 40 may be attached directly to the holding portion 42 at the upper end of the bag 20.

[0020] In this embodiment, as described above, the hanging device 10 in which the belt 30 is attached to the glove 100 to hang the glove 100 from above is provided with a bag 20 that can be inserted into the internal space 101 of the glove 100 (the space for inserting the hand and fingers), the belt 30 is fixed to the outer surface of the bag 20, a carabiner 40 for hanging is attached to the upper end of the bag 20, and a moisture absorbent 21 is sealed inside the bag 20.

[0021] After the glove 100 is used, the suspending device 10 having the above configuration is attached to the glove 100 as shown in FIG. 8, for example, and the glove 100 is suspended from the bag 200 by the suspending device 10 as shown in FIG.

[0022] Specifically, first, male buckle 31a and female buckle 31b of buckle 31 of belt 30 are released from engagement, and bag 20 is inserted from the lower end side into space 101 inside glove 100. At this time, the lower end of bag 20 is deformed and inserted into space 101 inside glove 100. Then, bag 20 is inserted to a position where buckle 31 of belt 30 overlaps belt 103 of glove 100, and male buckle 31a is engaged with female buckle 31b. As a result, belt 30 is attached to belt 103 of glove 100 as shown in FIG. 8. At this time, the length of belt 30 is adjusted by a length adjustment mechanism of belt 30 provided on male buckle 31a, so that hanging device 10 can be securely attached to glove 100. After the lower end of bag 20 is deformed and inserted into space 101 inside glove 100, the shape of the lower end of bag 20 returns to its original state, causing the lower end of bag 20 to get caught on glove 100, making it difficult for bag 20 to come off glove 100.

[0023] After the hanging tool 10 is attached to the glove 100, as shown in FIG. 9, the carabiner 40 is connected to the attachment 201 provided on the bag 200, thereby making it possible to hang the glove 100 from above. When removing the hanging tool 10 from the glove 100, the male buckle 31a and the female buckle 31b of the buckle 31 of the belt 30 are disengaged from each other, and the lower end of the bag 20 is pulled out from the space 101 inside the glove 100. In this case, the lower end of the bag 20 is deformed into an elongated shape, so that the bag 20 can be easily removed from the space 101 inside the glove 100.

[0024] According to this embodiment, the moisture in the space 101 inside the glove 100 can be efficiently removed by the moisture absorbent 21 inside the bag 20 inserted into the space 101 inside the glove 100, and the occurrence of mold, odor, and the like in the glove 100 can be suppressed. Here, the part inside the glove 100 where the fingers are inserted is a relatively narrow space, and moisture is likely to remain. However, in this embodiment, the lower end of the bag 20 can be deformed and inserted into the space 101 inside the glove 100, and the bag 20 can be inserted to a relatively deep part of the space 101 inside the glove 100. This makes it possible to efficiently remove moisture remaining in the relatively narrow space inside the glove 100. In addition, since the glove 100 can be carried in a state where it is hung from the bag 200 by the hanging tool 10, it is not necessary to store the glove 100 inside a bag or the like, and it is possible to prevent the glove 100 from losing its shape inside the bag.

[0025] Therefore, according to this embodiment, the hanging device 10 can be easily attached to the glove 100, the glove 100 can be easily suspended from above, and moisture in the internal space 101 of the glove 100 can be efficiently removed.

[0026] The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and are not intended to be limiting. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is not interpreted solely by the above-described embodiments, but is defined by the claims. Also, all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the claims are included.

[0027] The shape and size of the bag 20 described above are merely examples, and may be modified in various ways as long as it is deformable while the moisture absorbent material 21 is sealed inside.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the case has been described where the object to be hung by the hanging tool 10 is a baseball glove 100. However, this is not the only option, and the hanging tool 10 can be used for other objects as long as they have space inside. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the hanging tool 10 can be used for a hat 300.

[0029] 10, belt 30 of hanging tool 10 is attached to adjustment belt (adjuster) 303 of hat 300, and the lower end of bag 20 is inserted into the space inside hat 300. This allows moisture absorbent 21 inside bag 20 inserted into the space inside hat 300 to efficiently remove moisture adhering to the inside of hat 300, and prevents mold, odor, and the like from occurring in hat 300.
