[0004] Hanger-type and hook-type hat hanging devices only hold a part of a hat by hanging it on a hook or arm, and are unable to hold the hat in a desired display position.

[0005] The stand-type hat hanging device is configured to hold the covering part of the hat in a crowning state on a holding part fixed to the upper end of the stand, so that the hat can be displayed in the desired position by tilting the hat on the holding part.

[0006] However, if the inclination angle of the hat is increased, there is a problem that the covering part of the hat slips off the holding part, and further, if the position of the hat is forcibly changed on the fixed holding part, there is a problem that the covering part of the hat loses its shape.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a hat hanging device capable of holding a hat in a desired display position. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] Therefore, the present invention is configured as a means comprising a holder that holds the hat by being inserted into the covering portion of the hat that covers the wearer's head, and a support that supports the holder from below, wherein the holder has a shape-retaining portion facing the inner circumference of the covering portion, the support has a vertical axis portion facing the holder from below, and a joint device is provided to connect the holder and the support, and the joint device is configured to connect the holder to the support so that it can rotate freely around the axis of the vertical axis and the axis of the horizontal axis with respect to a vertical axis along the vertical axis portion and a horizontal axis intersecting the vertical axis, and to maintain a predetermined rotational posture.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the holder is formed by bending a single metal wire, and has a horizontal shaft portion that follows the diameter of an imaginary circle and shape-retaining portions that extend from both ends of the horizontal shaft portion along a semicircle that divides the imaginary circle in half of the diameter, and the joint device has a first bearing portion that rotatably holds the horizontal shaft portion of the holder, and a second bearing portion that rotatably holds the vertical shaft portion of the support.

[0010] Preferably, the holder is provided with a raised shape-retaining member, which has legs rotatably supported on the horizontal shaft of the holder and a protuberant portion extending from the legs, and is configured so that, via rotation of the legs, the protuberant portion can be freely changed in position between an upright position located above the horizontal shaft and a stored position located inside the shape-retaining portion. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the hat hanging device of the present invention, the holder 6 can be rotated around the axis R1 of the horizontal axis X and around the axis R2 of the vertical axis Y relative to the vertical axis 9 of the support 3 to assume a desired position, and by placing the covering portion 5a of the hat 5 on the holder 6 in the desired position, the hat 5 can be held in a stylishly displayed state.

[0013] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] FIG. 1 illustrates a stand S configured with a hat hanging device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which three hat hanging devices 1A, 1B, and 1C are provided via a support 3.

[0015] In the illustrated example, the first hat hanging device 1A is provided at the upper end of a first support 3A standing on an installation stand 2. As shown in FIG.

[0016] The second hat hanging device 1B is provided at the tip of an arm-shaped second support tool 3B extending sideways from the middle of the first support tool 3A.

[0017] The third hat hanging device 1C is provided at the tip of a third support 3C which is further extended from an articulated arm 4 which is extended laterally from the middle of the first support 3A.

[0018] The technical configuration common to the first to third hat hanging devices 1 and the first to third supports 3 will be described below.

[0019] 2, the hat 5 has a covering part 5a that opens downward and covers the wearer's head. The hat hanging device 1 is composed of a holder 6 that holds the hat 5 by being inserted into the covering part 5a from below, and the support 3 that supports the holder 6 from below.

[0020] The holder 6 has a shape-retaining portion 7 and a horizontal shaft portion 8 that face the inner circumference of the covering portion 5a of the cap 5. In contrast, the support 3 has a vertical shaft portion 9 that faces the horizontal shaft portion 8 from below and crosses it. The horizontal shaft portion 8 and the vertical shaft portion 9 are connected by a joint device 10.

[0021] In this case, the joint device 10 is provided with a first bearing portion 11 that rotatably holds the horizontal shaft portion 8 of the holder 6, and a second bearing portion 12 that rotatably holds the vertical shaft portion 9 of the support 3. As a result, with respect to the horizontal axis X defined by the horizontal shaft portion 8 and the vertical axis Y defined by the vertical shaft portion 9, the holder 6 is connected to the support 3 rotatably about the horizontal axis X and about the vertical axis Y, and is configured to maintain a predetermined rotational posture.

[0022] In the illustrated embodiment, the holder 6 is formed by bending a single metal wire having a circular cross section and made of aluminum or the like.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 3(A), a horizontal shaft portion 8 is formed from a single wire along a diameter 13a of an imaginary circle 13, and shape-retaining portions 7, 7 are formed by bending both ends of the horizontal shaft portion 8 so as to follow approximately semicircles that divide the imaginary circle 13 into two halves of the diameter 13a.

[0024] 3(B), the vertical shaft portion 9 of the support tool 3 is connected to the center of the horizontal shaft portion 8 via the joint device 10. Furthermore, a protruding shape-retaining member 14 is preferably provided on the inside of the shape-retaining portion 7.

[0025] The raised shape-retaining member 14 is formed by bending a single metal wire having a circular cross section and made of aluminum or the like, and has a leg portion 14a that is rotatably supported on the horizontal shaft portion 8 of the holder 6, and a raised portion 14b that extends along the inside of the shape-retaining portion 7.

[0026] In the illustrated embodiment, a pair of legs 14a, 14a are supported near both ends of the horizontal shaft portion 8 of the holder 6, and an arch-shaped protruding portion 14b is formed extending between the legs 14a, 14a.

[0027] In order to axially support the leg portion 14a on the horizontal shaft portion 8, a pivot device 15 having a structure similar to that of the joint device 10 is provided.

[0028] The pivot device 15 is provided with a bearing portion 16 that rotatably holds the horizontal shaft portion 8 of the holder 6, and a fixed connecting portion 17 that fixedly holds the leg portion 14a. As a result, the protruding shape-retaining member 14 is configured to be freely changeable between an upright position P1 (FIGS. 2(B) and 7) in which the protruding portion 14b is positioned above the horizontal shaft portion 8, and a stored position P2 (FIGS. 2(A) and 6) in which the protruding portion 14b is positioned along the inside of the shape-retaining portion 7.

[0029] 4 and 5 show an example of the joint device 10. As shown in FIG.

[0030] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the joint device 10 is composed of a fastener 18 and a tube 19 which are integrally molded from plastic.

[0031] The fastener 18 includes a sheet-like portion 18a that is wound around the outer circumferential surface of the horizontal shaft portion 8 to form a sandwiched portion, and semi-cylinder portions 18b, 18b that are semi-split cylinders extending from both sides of the sheet-like portion 18a. Therefore, as shown in Figures 4(B) and 5(A) and (B), when the sheet-like portion 18a is wound around the outer circumferential surface of the horizontal shaft portion, the pair of semi-cylinder portions 18b, 18b are joined together.

[0032] The cylindrical device 19 has the vertical shaft portion 9 inserted inside a pair of semi-cylindrical portions 18b, 18b in a manner preventing it from coming loose, and then the semi-cylindrical portions 18b, 18b are fastened from the outside, thereby tensioning the sheet-like portion 18a and clamping the horizontal shaft portion 8.

[0033] Therefore, the first bearing portion 11 is formed by the sheet-like portion 18a of the fastener 18 that clamps the outer circumferential surface of the horizontal shaft portion 8. As a result, the holder 6 and the vertical shaft portion 9 are capable of rotating about the axis R1 of the horizontal axis X against the frictional resistance between the horizontal shaft portion 8 and the first bearing portion 11 as shown in Fig. 4(C), and further, when in a predetermined rotational position, the position is maintained by the frictional resistance.

[0034] The second bearing portion 12 is composed of semi-cylindrical portions 18b, 18b of a fastener 18, which are joined together to sandwich the vertical shaft portion 9, and a cylindrical member 19. This allows the retainer 6 and the second bearing portion 12 to rotate freely around the axis R2 of the vertical axis Y against frictional resistance on the outer periphery of the vertical shaft portion 9, and further allows the frictional resistance to maintain a predetermined rotational position.

[0035] As a result of the above configuration, the hat hanging device 1 can be set to a desired position by rotating the holder 6 around R1 on the horizontal axis X and around R2 on the vertical axis Y with respect to the vertical shaft portion 9 of the support 3, as shown in Fig. 6. Then, by placing the covering portion 5a of the hat 5 on the holder 6 in a desired position, as shown in Fig. 2(A), the hat 5 can not only be held, but also be displayed in the desired position.

[0036] In this case, for example, when the hat 5 is made of a flexible material, the raised shape-retaining member 14 is changed from the stored position P2 to the standing position P1 as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 2(B), and the covered part 5a of the hat 5 is put on in this state. The raised shape-retaining member 14 can keep the covered part 5a in a predetermined shape, so that the shape is prevented from being distorted. In other words, there is no need to stuff rolled up paper or the like into the covered part 5a to prevent it from distorting its shape as in the past.

[0037] 8 shows a second hat hanging device 1B included in the stand S shown in Fig. 1, in which a vertical shaft 9 is formed at the tip of an arm-like second support 3B extending horizontally from the middle of the first support 3A, and a holder 6 is attached to the vertical shaft 9 via a joint device 10. Therefore, the holder 6 is freely rotatable around the axis R1 of the horizontal axis X and the axis R2 of the vertical axis Y, as described above.

[0038] 8, the second support 3B is connected to the first support 3A by a joint device 10, and the first support 3A is rotatably held by a first bearing 11 of the joint device 10, and the second support 3B is rotatably held by a second bearing 12. As a result, the second hat hanging device 1B is also rotatable around an axis R3 of the first support 3A and an axis R4 of the second support 3B, which allows it to assume a wide variety of positions.

[0039] In this case, for example, the holder 3A may be configured to be attached to a wall surface inside a room, and it can be used not only for the stand S but also for various types of hat hanging devices.

[0040] In the illustrated embodiment, the joint device 10 is configured to be rotatable about two axes, the horizontal axis X and the vertical axis Y, but is not limited to this. For example, a universal joint configured by a ball joint or the like may be used. [Explanation of symbols]
