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, for mail order sales, 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 or the like 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, and are made of sheet material before assembly, making them easier to store and transport than plastic hangers in which the hook and hanger parts are integrally molded. In addition, because they have a three-dimensional shape when in use, clothes are less likely to wrinkle or lose their shape. [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, although the hangers made of sheet materials such as paper in Patent Documents 3 to 5 have excellent storability and transportability in the state of sheet materials before assembly, once assembled, they are difficult to return to a sheet shape, and have the problem of being bulky when discarded, stored again, or carried again. In particular, the hangers in Patent Documents 3 and 5 require complicated operations of assembling and disassembling multiple components when used or transported. The hanger in Patent Document 4 has a structure in which the hook part is adhered with an adhesive, so that the complicated operation of peeling off the adhered part is required to disassemble it, and it cannot be reassembled.

[0010] Furthermore, the conventional hangers made of a sheet material such as paper as described in Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 have a problem that they are not suitable for heavy clothing or knitted products such as sweaters. That is, the hanger described in Patent Document 3 has a structure in which the thickness of the oblique side that supports the shoulder part of the clothing is thin, so when heavy clothing or soft clothing such as knitted products is hung, the clothes are likely to be marked by the shape of the oblique side or the tip part of the oblique side. In addition, the hanger described in Patent Document 4 has a structure in which the hook part is simply a sheet-shaped first member bonded with a glue agent, so there is a risk that the hook part will peel off when heavy clothing is hung. In addition, since the structure is such that the locking part that is convex upward is exposed at the front of the hanger after assembly, there is a risk that this locking part will get caught when hanging knitted products, especially those with coarse mesh. This is particularly noticeable with pullover type sweaters and the like.

[0011] On the other hand, in dry cleaning shops, stores and warehouses of companies that display and sell clothing, and accommodation facilities, clothes hung on hangers are often repeatedly hung on hanger bars or hanger racks and removed. In particular, dry cleaning shops, stores and warehouses handle a large amount of clothing, so quick operations are required. Such operations tend to cause twists and torsions, especially on the hook part. Compared to plastic materials, paper materials tend to be less strong. The hook parts of the hangers in Patent Documents 3 and 4 are made of only two sheets stacked together, so there is a risk that the hook parts will not be strong enough and break during such repeated operations or quick hanging and removal operations. The hook parts of the hangers in Patent Document 5 are reinforced by hook part reinforcing pieces, are made of four sheets as a whole, and the hook parts are formed three-dimensionally by the locking pieces, increasing the strength of the hooks, but the four sheets are not completely stacked by the locking pieces, so the strength against twisting and the like may be insufficient.

[0012] On the other hand, particularly in dry cleaning shops and stores and warehouses of companies that display and sell clothing and the like, disposable dress covers 200 made of resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene or nonwoven fabrics are sometimes used to prevent dust and dirt from adhering to the clothes 150 hung on the hanger 100, as shown in FIG. 14. The dress covers are also called clothes covers, dress packs, hanger covers, vinyl covers, etc. The dress covers 200 are cylindrical with a wide opening 210 on one side and a narrow opening 220 on the other side, and are used by passing the hook part 103 of the hanger 100 through the narrow opening. As shown in FIG. 15, particularly disposable dress covers 200 are made by fusing edges 200E of sheets made of resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, sheets made of nonwoven fabric, or sheets made of resin and a nonwoven fabric, and do not usually have a gusset. For this reason, when the hook portion is made three-dimensional and thick using the engaging piece, as in the hanger of Reference 5, there is a high risk of the edge 220t of the opening 220, which is narrow in width, of being torn or ripped, making the hanger difficult to use.

[0013] Furthermore, the hanger in Patent Document 5 has a valley fold and a mountain fold on one side of the sheet before assembly, and folds and the like must be formed on both sides of the sheet material, making the manufacturing process complicated. Furthermore, because the two large backing hanging parts are connected by a short bend line between the hook-forming pieces, there is a risk that the bend line will break and the backing hanging parts will unintentionally separate.

[0014] Thus, conventional paper hangers as disclosed in Patent Documents 3 to 5 are excellent in storability and transportability compared to one-piece molded plastic hangers in that they are in the form of a thin sheet of paper before assembly, but they have problems such as the fact that they are difficult to return to a sheet shape after assembly and are difficult to dispose of or store again, there is a risk that they will get caught when hanging clothing such as knitted products, the strength of the hook part may not be sufficient in light of actual usage in dry cleaners, stores and warehouses of companies that display and sell clothing and the like or in mail-order sales, accommodation facilities, etc., and there is a risk of them tearing when used with disposable dress covers.

[0015] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the main object of the present invention is to provide a hanger which has a three-dimensional shape when in use but can be easily returned to a sheet shape, has excellent strength in the hook part, has a structure in which the opening of a dress cover is not easily torn even when a dress cover is used, can hang heavy clothing, knitted products, and other clothing without losing its shape or getting caught, and can be easily manufactured from a non-plastic sheet material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Figs. 1 to 15. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated shapes or this embodiment. It goes without saying that the detailed shapes and positions of each part can be changed within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "front", "back", "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" in the hanger of the present invention and in the specification may change depending on the position of the viewer and the person using the hanger. They are not terms that indicate absolute positions. Furthermore, the terms "first", "second" and the like in the present invention do not indicate the order of assembly operations. They are shown for the convenience of distinguishing each part, each portion, and the like.

[0029] The hanger 1 of this embodiment is a clothes hanger, and as shown in Figures 1, 11, 12, etc., in its usage form, it has a sickle-shaped hook portion 30 for hanging on a support, a base 10 integrally connected to the lower part of the hook portion, and a pair of shoulder portions 20, 20 extending symmetrically outwardly to the left and right from the base 10, with the hook portion 30 being thin and flattened and made of multiple laminated sheet materials, and the upper portion 20U of the shoulder portion 20 having a wide, three-dimensional shape that gradually widens from the base 10 side toward the left and right ends.

[0030] In the hanger of this embodiment, the hook portion 30 is made of a plurality of laminated sheet materials and is integrally connected to the base portion 10, so that it has high strength, especially strength against twisting, and is thin and flat, so that even if a dress cover is used, the opening of the dress cover is unlikely to tear. Furthermore, since the hook portion 30 and the base portion 10 are integrally formed, and the shoulder portion 20 has a three-dimensional shape with a wide upper portion 20U, there is no risk of the hook portion 30 falling off even when heavy clothing is hung. In addition, soft clothing such as knitted products can be hung without losing its shape or getting caught.

[0031] The hanger 1 of this embodiment is characteristically assembled from a single sheet material 1S, as shown in an unfolded state in Figures 2 and 3. This sheet material 1S has a first hook portion forming portion 31 forming the front side of the hook portion 30, a first base portion forming portion 11 forming the front side of the base portion 10, and a pair of shoulder front portion forming portions 21, 21 forming the front side of the shoulder portion 20. In this embodiment, the sheet material 1S has the first base portion forming portion 11 integrally connected to the first hook portion forming portion 31 without any creases, and further, the pair of shoulder front portion forming portions 21, 21 extending obliquely outwardly to the left and right from the first base portion forming portion 11 without any creases, so that the assembled hanger 1 has a continuous front side, which is one side, without any creases, and has high strength against bending and twisting.

[0032] Furthermore, the sheet material 1S has a bottom forming portion 41 that forms the bottom 40 of the base 10 of the hanger 1, a second base forming portion 12 that forms the back side of the base 10, and a second hook forming portion 32 that forms the back side of the hook portion 30. The bottom forming portion 41 is connected to the first base forming portion 11 via a first bottom fold line 51, the second base forming portion 12 is connected to the bottom forming portion 41 via a second bottom fold line 52, and the second hook forming portion 32 is connected to the second base forming portion 12 without a fold line. The second base forming portion 12 and the second hook forming portion 32 are erected on the back side of the bottom forming portion 41 with the second bottom folding line 52 as the bottom edge when the first bottom folding line 51 and the second bottom folding line 52 are folded in the same direction, and the second base forming portion 12 faces the first base forming portion 11, and the second hook forming portion 32 faces the first hook forming portion 31. In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the first hook forming portion 31 and the second hook forming portion 32 are brought close to each other in a facing state, and integrated to form the hook portion 30. In addition, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the first base forming portion 11 and the second base forming portion 12 face each other to form the base 10. In particular, the first base forming portion 11 and the second base forming portion 12 are separated from the first hook forming portion 31 and the second hook forming portion 32 toward the bottom forming portion 41, and the first base forming portion 11, the second base forming portion 12, and the bottom forming portion 41 form a thick base 10 that is substantially triangular in side view. In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the flexibility of the sheet material 1S makes it possible to form the thick base 10 by bringing the first hook forming portion 31 and the second hook forming portion 32 close to each other while separating the bottom sides of the first base forming portion 11 and the second base forming portion 12.

[0033] Here, in the sheet material 1S of this embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, the first hook portion engaging portion 31E is formed in the first hook portion forming portion 31, and the second hook portion engaging portion 32E is formed in the second hook portion forming portion 32, and the hanger 1 of this embodiment forms the hook portion 30 by engaging the first hook portion engaging portion 31E and the second hook portion engaging portion 32E. By using such an engaging structure, the hook portion 30 can be formed by simply maintaining the overlapping state of the first hook portion forming portion 31 and the second hook portion forming portion 32, and can be easily unfolded. There is no limitation on the first hook portion engaging portion 31E and the second hook portion engaging portion 32E as long as they have an engaging structure that allows them to be engaged with each other. In the illustrated embodiment, the deep recess is formed in the portion that becomes the top when the first hook forming portion 31 and the second hook forming portion 32 are assembled into the hanger 1, and when the first hook forming portion 31 and the second hook forming portion 32 approach each other, the deep recess grooves are engaged with each other to form an engagement structure. Alternatively, for example, instead of the deep recess grooves, the first hook portion engaging portion 31E and the second hook portion engaging portion 32E can be formed by simple cuts or slits. In addition, in the hanger 1 according to the present invention, the fixation of the first hook forming portion 31 and the second hook forming portion 32 is not limited to this engagement structure, and may be performed by, for example, adhesive, adhesive tape, clips, etc. However, as described above, it is preferable to perform the fixation by engaging the first hook portion engaging portion 31E and the second hook portion engaging portion 32E because they can be easily integrated and released.

[0034] Furthermore, as a particularly preferred embodiment, the sheet material 1S of this embodiment has a first hook portion reinforcing portion 33 and a second hook portion reinforcing portion 34 for reinforcing the hook portion 30. The first hook portion reinforcing portion 33 is connected to the first hook portion forming portion 31 via a first hook portion fold line 61, and is shaped to overlap a part or all of the first hook portion forming portion 31 when folded back at the first hook portion fold line 61. Similarly, the second hook portion reinforcing portion 34 is connected to the second hook portion forming portion 32 via a second hook portion fold line 62, and is shaped to overlap a part or all of the second hook portion forming portion 32 when folded back at the second hook portion fold line 62. The hook portion 30 of the hanger 1 of this embodiment made of the sheet material 1S has the first hook portion reinforcing portion 33 folded back at the first hook portion fold line 61 to be overlapped with the first hook portion forming portion 31, and the second hook portion reinforcing portion 34 folded back at the second hook portion fold line 62 to be overlapped with the second hook portion forming portion 32. As described above, the first bottom fold line 51 and the second bottom fold line 52 are folded to make the first hook portion forming portion 31 and the second hook portion forming portion 32 face each other, so that the first hook portion reinforcing portion 33 and the second hook portion reinforcing portion 34 are positioned between the first hook portion forming portion 31 and the second hook portion forming portion 32, and the hook portion 30 has a four-layer laminated structure. Since the hook portion 30 of this hanger 1 has a four-layer structure, the strength of the hook portion is further increased. In the illustrated embodiment, the first hook portion reinforcing portion and the second hook portion reinforcing portion are shaped so as not to overlap the portion where the first hook portion reinforcing portion 31E and the second hook portion reinforcing portion 32E are present, so that the first hook portion reinforcing portion 31E and the second hook portion reinforcing portion 32E can be engaged with each other, but this embodiment is not limited to this embodiment. In addition, the position of the first hook portion fold line 61, which is the connecting position between the first hook portion forming portion 31 and the first hook portion reinforcing portion, and the position of the second hook portion fold line 62, which is the connecting position between the second hook portion forming portion 32 and the second hook portion reinforcing portion 34, are not limited to the positions in the illustrated embodiment. As long as they are in a position that allows them to be in the form of a single sheet in the unfolded state, they can be configured to be connected at an appropriate position. However, it is preferable that this connecting portion is long so that the first hook portion reinforcing portion 33 and the second hook portion reinforcing portion 34 are not easily separated unintentionally in the sheet form.In the illustrated embodiment, the back of the hook is formed in a straight line, and the hooks are connected at this straight line. Also, the illustrated hanger 1 of this embodiment has both the first hook reinforcing part 33 and the second hook reinforcing part 34, and is a four-layer laminated hook part 30, but the hanger 1 according to the present invention is not limited to this, and may not have the first hook reinforcing part 33 and the second hook reinforcing part 34, or may have a three-layer laminated hook part 30 having only the first hook reinforcing part 33 or only the second hook reinforcing part 34.

[0035] On the other hand, the sheet material 1S of this embodiment has a pair of shoulder upper forming portions 22, 22 that form the upper portion of the shoulder portion 20, and a pair of shoulder back portion forming portions 23, 23 that form the back side of the shoulder portion 20. The shoulder upper portion forming portion 22 is connected to the shoulder front portion forming portion 21 via a first shoulder fold line 71, and the shoulder back portion forming portion 23 is connected to the shoulder upper portion forming portion 22 via a second shoulder fold line 72. The first shoulder fold line 71 extends from the first base forming portion 11 side toward the left and right ends along the upper edge, which is the edge of the shoulder front portion forming portion 21 on the first hook portion side, and the second shoulder fold line 72 is parallel to the first shoulder fold line 71 and extends from the first base forming portion 11 side toward the left and right ends in the same manner as the first shoulder fold line 71. The first shoulder fold line 71 and the second shoulder fold line 72 constitute the shoulder upper portion forming portion 22 between them. In particular, the first shoulder fold line 71 and the second shoulder fold line 72 are arranged so that the distance between them increases from the first base forming portion 11 side toward the left and right ends, and the shoulder upper portion forming portion 22 between them is shaped to widen from the first base forming portion side toward the left and right ends. In the hanger of this embodiment, the first shoulder fold line 71 and the second shoulder fold line 72 of this sheet material 1S are folded in the same direction, and the shoulder front portion forming portion 21 and the shoulder back portion forming portion 23 are made to face each other, thereby forming the upper portion, front portion, and back portion of the shoulder 20. In particular, the shoulder 20 is formed into a three-dimensional shape in which the width of the upper portion increases from the base 10 side toward the left and right ends.

[0036] In this manner, in the hanger of the present invention, the hook portion 30 is formed by stacking multiple sheet materials and is integral with the base 10, giving it high strength against twisting and the like. Furthermore, the hook portion 30 is thin and flat, making the opening of the dress cover less likely to tear, and the shoulder portion 20 has a wide, three-dimensional upper portion 20U, yet can be assembled from a single sheet material 1S.

[0037] On the other hand, the hanger 1 of this embodiment is not limited in the method of fixing the shoulder back part forming part 23 constituting the back side of the shoulder part 20 formed by folding at the first shoulder folding line 71 and the second shoulder folding line 72. It may be fixed in position by appropriate adhesion or engagement. Preferably, a first locking piece 25 connected to the shoulder back part forming part 23 is provided, and this first locking piece 25 can be assembled to be engaged with a part adjacent to the folding at each fold line, for example, any of the first base forming part 11, the second base forming part 12, and the bottom forming part 41. For example, the locking can be exemplified by a structure in which a slit-shaped locking hole is provided in any of the first base forming part 11, the second base forming part 12, and the bottom forming part 41 and the locking is performed by inserting the locking hole into the locking hole. If the locking piece is inserted into the locking hole, the hanger can be easily returned to a sheet shape and does not become bulky when discarded.

[0038] The hanger 1 of the illustrated embodiment is a particularly preferred embodiment, in which a first locking hole 41S is provided in the bottom forming portion 41 of the sheet material 1S, and the first locking piece 25 is configured to be inserted into the first locking hole 41S of the bottom by folding the first shoulder fold line 71 and the second shoulder fold line 72 of the sheet material 1S, and the first locking piece 25 is inserted into the first locking hole 41S. In this embodiment, the hanger 1 forms a shoulder by inserting the first locking piece 25 into the bottom 40 of the hanger, so that it is not necessary to form protrusions, especially upward protruding pieces, on the front, top, and back of the shoulder, and therefore it is easy to hang coarse knitted products without losing their shape or getting caught. The number of first locking pieces 25 is not limited to one pair and two as illustrated.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiment, the sheet material 1S is particularly configured such that a slit-shaped first locking hole 41S is formed in the bottom forming portion 41, which is connected to the first bottom folding line 51, and the first locking hole 41S is expanded by folding the first bottom folding line 51 when forming the bottom 40, making it easier to insert the first locking piece 25. However, the first locking hole 41S is not limited to a slit hole. It may be a long and narrow through hole formed by punching or hollowing. In addition, when the first bottom folding line 51 and the second bottom folding line 52 are folded in the same direction and the shoulder front portion forming portion 21 and the shoulder back portion forming portion 23 are made to face each other, the part 23X of the shoulder back portion forming portion 23 overlaps the second base forming portion 12 that constitutes the back side of the base, and the first locking piece 25 is configured to be connected to the part 23X that overlaps with the second base forming portion. Furthermore, the first locking piece 25 is configured to protrude from the second bottom fold line 52, which is the bottom edge of the bottom, when the part 23X of the shoulder back surface forming part 23 is overlapped with the second base forming part 12, and is configured to be close to the above-mentioned first locking hole. The shape of the first locking piece 25 is not particularly limited. Also, an appropriate fold line 76 can be formed so that it can be easily locked into the locking hole or the like.

[0040] In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, regardless of the presence or absence of the first locking piece 25, the first bottom fold line 51 and the second bottom fold line 52 are folded in the same direction, and when the shoulder front part forming part 21 and the shoulder back part forming part 23 are faced to each other, a part of the shoulder back part forming part 23 is configured to overlap the second base part forming part 12 constituting the back side of the base, and at that time, it is desirable that the stacked state of the first hook part forming part 31 and the second hook part forming part 32 is maintained and fixed by this overlapping part and the first base part forming part 11. In order to maintain and fix this stacked state, the width of the end of the shoulder upper part forming part 22 on the first base part forming part 11 side, that is, the distance between the first shoulder part fold line 71 and the second shoulder part fold line 72, may be adjusted in consideration of the thickness of the hook part 30. With this form of hanger 1, the thin and flat hook part 30 can be easily formed and maintained, and the opening of the dress cover is difficult to tear.

[0041] Furthermore, the sheet material 1S of the hanger 1 of the illustrated embodiment has, as a preferred embodiment, a shoulder bottom forming portion 24 that forms the bottom of the shoulder. The shoulder bottom forming portion 24 is connected to the shoulder back portion forming portion 23 via a shoulder bottom fold line 79, and the hanger 1 of this embodiment is formed by folding the first shoulder fold line 71, the second shoulder fold line 72, and the shoulder bottom fold line 79 of the sheet material 1S to form the front portion 20A, the upper portion 20U, the back portion 20B, and the bottom portion 20C of the shoulder 20. Furthermore, the hanger of this embodiment is formed with a slit-shaped second locking hole 24S that is connected to the shoulder bottom fold line 79 in the shoulder bottom forming portion 24 of the sheet material 1S, and is configured so that the second locking hole 24S is expanded by folding the shoulder bottom fold line 79 when forming the bottom of the shoulder. On the other hand, the sheet material 1S of the hanger 1 in this embodiment has a second locking piece 26 connected to the shoulder front portion forming portion 21, and is configured so that when the first shoulder fold line 71, the second shoulder fold line 72 and the shoulder bottom fold line 79 of the sheet material 1S are folded to form the front portion 20A, the upper portion 20U, the back portion 20B and the bottom portion 20C of the shoulder portion, the second locking piece 26 is brought close to the bottom portion 20C of the shoulder portion 20 so as to be insertable, and the hanger 1 has the brought close second locking piece 26 inserted into the second locking hole 24S.

[0042] In the illustrated embodiment, the shoulder bottom forming portion 24 is connected to the shoulder back forming portion 23, and the second locking piece 26 is connected to the shoulder front forming portion 21. Alternatively, the shoulder bottom forming portion 24 may be connected to the shoulder front forming portion 21, and the second locking piece 26 may be connected to the shoulder back forming portion 23. Also, the shoulder bottom forming portion 24 and the second locking piece 26 may each be provided in a plurality per pair of shoulders. Therefore, the shoulder bottom forming portion 24 and the second locking piece 26 may be connected to the shoulder front forming portion 21, and the shoulder bottom forming portion 24 and the second locking piece 26 may be connected to the shoulder back forming portion 23. Also, although the assembly structure in which the second locking piece 26 is inserted into the second locking hole 24S is referred to as "second," it does not necessarily have to be provided together with the first locking piece 25 and the first locking hole 41S. Furthermore, there is no particular limitation on the shape of the second locking piece 26. Also, an appropriate folding line 76 can be formed so that it can be easily locked into a locking hole or the like.

[0043] On the other hand, as a particularly preferred embodiment, the hanger 1 of the illustrated embodiment has a first shoulder upper fold line 73 that branches off from the middle of the first shoulder fold line 71 and heads toward the left and right ends, and a second shoulder upper fold line 74 that branches off from the middle of the second shoulder fold line 72 and heads toward the left and right ends, in the shoulder upper forming portion 22 of the sheet material 1S. The hanger 1 of the embodiment has a slope portion 20U between the first shoulder fold line 71 and the first shoulder upper fold line 73 by folding the first shoulder upper fold line 73 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74 as well as the first shoulder fold line 71 and the second shoulder fold line 72 of the sheet material 1S. 1 and a slope portion 20U between the second shoulder fold line 72 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74. 2 The inclined surface 20U extends from a predetermined position of the upper portion 20U of the shoulder portion 20 toward the left and right ends. 1 ,20U 2 By forming the above, the tip side of the upper part of the shoulder is formed in a rounded arch shape, so that the shoulder part of the garment is less likely to lose its shape. In addition, the shoulder part of knitted products and heavy garments can be easily hung without losing its shape or getting caught. In the illustrated embodiment, the first shoulder fold line 71 and the first shoulder upper fold line 73 are continuous, but they do not necessarily have to be continuous, and it is sufficient that the end of the first shoulder upper fold line 73 is close to the first shoulder fold line 71 to the extent that a slope is formed by folding. The same is true for the second shoulder fold line 72 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74. The branch position of the first shoulder fold line 71 and the first shoulder upper fold line 73 and the branch position of the second shoulder fold line 72 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74 are not necessarily limited. They can be any appropriate position. In addition, the distance between the first shoulder fold line 71 and the first shoulder upper fold line 73 and the distance between the second shoulder fold line 72 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74 are also not limited. It is sufficient that they are spaced apart enough to form a slope portion.

[0044] On the other hand, as a particularly preferred embodiment of the hanger 1 of this embodiment shown in the figures, the sheet material 1S has a third shoulder upper fold line 75 between the first shoulder upper fold line 73 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74 at the left and right end sides of the shoulder upper portion forming portion 22. In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the first shoulder fold line 71, the second shoulder fold line 72, the first shoulder upper fold line 73, the second shoulder upper fold line 74 and the third shoulder upper fold line 75 of the sheet material 1S are folded, and second slope portions 20U are formed at the left and right end parts of the upper portion 20U of the shoulder 20 from the third shoulder upper fold line 75 toward the first shoulder upper fold line 73 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74, respectively. 2 ,20U 2 In this way, the upper part 20U of the shoulder part 20 becomes gradually closer to an arch shape from the base part 10 side toward the left and right ends, so that the shoulder part of the garment is less likely to lose its shape, and the shoulder part of knitted products or heavy garments can be hung without losing its shape or getting caught. In the illustrated embodiment, the third shoulder upper fold line 75 is disposed only at the end on the left and right ends of the shoulder upper part forming part 22, but it may be disposed between the first shoulder upper fold line 73 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74. Also, it is not necessary to be disposed in the center between the first shoulder upper fold line 73 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74.

[0045] On the other hand, in the illustrated embodiment of the hanger 1, as a particularly preferred embodiment, the sheet material 1S has the left and right ends of the shoulder upper portion forming portion 22 projecting from the tips of the first shoulder fold line 71 and the second shoulder fold line 72 to form the end pieces 22T, and the hanger 1 of the embodiment is formed by folding the end pieces 22T located at the ends of the upper portion 20U of the shoulder portion 20 formed by folding the first shoulder fold line 71 and the second shoulder fold line 72 toward the bottom portion 20C of the shoulder portion 20. In this embodiment of the hanger 1, the tip of the upper portion 20U of the shoulder portion 20 is formed not by the cut surface of the sheet material 1S but by the folded edge, so that the edge is smooth and is unlikely to rub against the clothing when hanging the clothing, causing damage to the clothing or damage to the hanger 1. In addition, it is easy to hang knitted products and the like without losing their shape or getting caught. It is particularly preferable to provide the end pieces 22T together with the first shoulder upper fold line 73 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74. When the end piece 22T is provided together with the first shoulder upper fold line 73 and the second shoulder upper fold line 74, it is pushed toward the bottom side of the end piece 22T, and the folded state of the end piece 22T is maintained. In the illustrated embodiment, particularly, a through hole 27 is provided from the end piece 22T toward the first base forming portion 11 side at the left and right ends of the shoulder upper forming portion 22 of the sheet material 1S. By providing such a through hole 27, the end piece 22T becomes easy to bend, and when folded, the tip of the upper portion 20U of the shoulder 20 becomes bifurcated, improving the design. The shape of the end piece 22T is not necessarily limited. Also, a fold line 77 that makes it easy to fold the end piece 22T can be provided as in the illustrated embodiment.

[0046] Here, the fold lines in the hanger 1 and the sheet material 1S of this embodiment are lines for easily folding back or folding the sheet material 1S, and may be simply printed lines for positioning, but are preferably lines also called creases, perforations, or half slits. In addition, it is not necessary for all of them to be the same type of line. For example, the first shoulder fold line 71 and the second shoulder fold line 72 forming the shoulder portion 20 are creases, and the first hook fold line 61 and the second hook fold line 62 are 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.

[0047] On the other hand, in the hanger 1 and sheet material 1S of this embodiment, particularly when the fold line is used as a folding line, it can be formed from only one side. That is, it is easy to manufacture. Also, the hanger 1 in the illustrated form can be assembled by folding all of the sheet material 1S in the same direction except for one fold line that makes it easy to fold the end piece 22T. Moreover, this fold line also functions sufficiently even if it is formed on the same side as the other fold lines. Therefore, the hanger according to the present invention is easy to manufacture and assemble.

[0048] 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. In addition, a particularly preferable paper is a multi-layer paper having three or more paper layers with a higher density than a general paperboard. As shown in FIG. 13, since multiple paper layers 81 and 82 are laminated, the multi-layer paper 80 can change the characteristics of each layer, and can be easily folded while maintaining 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 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 Elipla Paper, a high-density multi-layer paper manufactured by Dainichi Paper Co., Ltd.

[0049] When the sheet material is paper, the basis weight of the paper is preferably 300 g / m 2 More preferably, 330 g / m 2 More preferably, 360 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 340 μm or more and 1400 μm or less, more preferably 370 μm or more and 1350 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).

[0050] 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.

[0051] 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.

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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. 13 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.

[0058] 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 50.0 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 200 g / m 2 More than 1100g / m 2 Below, especially 250g / 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.

[0059] 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.

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] Furthermore, the hanger according to the present embodiment preferably contains a siloxane compound. When the hanger contains a siloxane compound, the rigidity, strength, and water resistance are increased by siloxane bonds. The water resistance is increased by the inclusion of a siloxane compound, so that the hanger is likely to maintain sufficient strength even when wet clothes or towels are hung on it. 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 to the embodiment in which the siloxane compound is applied to the assembled hanger, the siloxane compound may be impregnated into the sheet material before assembly or the sheet material as a 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 the form of coating the pulp fiber.

[0066] 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.
