Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a folding hanger that detachably connects the separated left and right shoulders, and has stability by maintaining its shape at the base.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional hangers include ordinary hangers, folding types for compact purposes with separate left and right shoulders, and folding types that fold both shoulders downward. In the folding type that folds downward, the folded state cannot be maintained, and since the left and right sides are always openable and closable, it is unstable. Also, in the folding type that folds downward with a support bar, there is no holding function for both opening and closing, and it is unstable.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When passing a conventional hanger through a T-shirt or the like, if it is inserted from under the shirt, the hanger must be lifted up to the shoulder position at the top. Since it is horizontally long when inserted from the neck opening, the hanger must be inserted to the back, and the neck opening must be widened to hang both shoulders. When removing it, since it is horizontally long, it was difficult to remove it with a single operation. There are also hangers made of flexible materials that can be compressed vertically. Although they have a mechanism that contracts vertically and causes the upper hanging part to tilt horizontally, it is still necessary to insert the hanger to the back and widen the neck opening to hang both shoulders because it is horizontally long when inserted from the neck opening.

[0005] In JP-A-2013-31617 and JP-A-2014-8335, the hanger is a folding type that folds downward. Since it can be folded with one touch, the hung hanger can be easily removed. However, although it is stably held in the hanger state, it cannot be held in the folded state, so it swings from side to side, and if held by hand, the tips on both sides swing and it is unstable.

[0006] In a folding hanger provided with support bars and joined by foldable joints, if an attempt is made to open and close it with one hand, when folding, the support bars and both shoulders overlap in parallel, so there is a possibility of pinching a finger if not careful.

[0007] A folding hanger for the purpose of compactification is not in a form for easily hanging and removing.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] A hanger in which two pieces that become left and right are joined, the contact surface is subjected to molding, a molded article is provided, and a molded member is used to form an adaptable shape, a shape that can perform the operations from inversion to fixing with a simple operation is constructed, and a form that maintains the posture at the base is formed. A folding hanger characterized by this. The present invention is a folding hanger formed by the above structure.

Effects of the Invention

[0009] If the hangers are folded and overlapped and held, insertion from the neck becomes easy, and the hangers can be easily hung on both shoulders by a simple restoration operation.

[0010] With the hanger held in one hand, the angle changes by releasing the stopper, and it is naturally folded or restored with the assistance of fingers or the like, and a series of operations are completed. At the same time, the stopper is automatically engaged, maintaining the form at the base and always being in a stable state.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, depending on the position of the coupling shaft, the folding form can be either an up-and-down inversion type or a front-and-back inversion type, and each embodiment will be described based on the drawings.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an up-and-down inversion type folding hanger, FIG. 10 is a top view shown from above, and FIG. 11 is a top view in a folded state.

[0013] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the up-and-down inversion type folding hanger. A coupling portion and a shaft (4) to be inverted are provided on the front side of the right part of the left shoulder portion (1), and a fastener rotation stopper (5) is provided at the tip. Also, a shaft hole (6) through which the shaft (4) passes is provided in the left part of the right shoulder portion (2), and a semi-circular pin movement groove (8) is provided on the front side surrounding it to limit the area for changing direction. Pin fixing holes (10) are provided on both sides of the groove. (3) is a fastener, and a shaft retaining hole (7) is provided on the surface in contact with the left part of the right shoulder, and on the same surface, it is set at a position overlapping with the pin movement groove (8) of the right shoulder portion (2), and a fixing pin (9) is provided facing each other. The set positions of the pin movement groove (8), the pin fixing hole (10), and the fixing pin (9) are set at positions where they can be fixed at the position (10a) in the hanger form and the position (10b) in the folded state. The shaft (4) of the left shoulder portion (1) is passed through the shaft hole (6) of the right shoulder portion (2) in a state of being sandwiched through a stable cushion (11), and the tip of the shaft is inserted into the shaft retaining hole (7) and fixed. The above is the configuration of the up-and-down inversion type folding hanger.

[0014] FIG. 3 is a front view of the front-and-back inversion type folding hanger.

[0015] FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the front-and-back inversion type folding hanger, FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional part of the front-and-back inversion type folding hanger, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view from above. It will be described based on each drawing. Build shelves on both the upper and lower parts of the left shoulder (21) on the right side. The shelves are formed by expanding the necessary shaping from the straight line on the other side of the hanger so that they can be smoothly folded. Install a shaft (24) centered on the straight line on the other side of the hanger shown in Fig. 6 on the shelves. Also, provide two pin fixing holes (27) with the shaft (24) as the midpoint. The shelves are folded and, as shown in Fig. 6, during the restoration operation, the moving line of the fixing pin (26) forms a semi-circle. Therefore, expand the necessary shaping from the straight line of the edge on the other side of the hanger, and form the wall surface part of the extended part on the other side that becomes the contact part during the inversion operation into a semi-circle on the left wall surface of the right shoulder so that it can be smoothly folded. For both the upper and lower parts of the right shoulder, the left end is shaped in the opposite shape to the shelf on the left shoulder in order to be hung and joined to the right end of the left shoulder. Also, provide a shaft hole (25) at a position corresponding to the shaft (24) of the left shoulder, centered on the straight line at the rear of the hanger so that the right shoulder can be closely joined. For the upper connection, provide two fixing pins (26) with the shaft hole (25) as the midpoint at positions corresponding to the left shoulder pin fixing holes (27) so that they fit together when in the folded state and when in the hanger state. As a structure, connect the shaft (24) of the left shoulder (21) through the shaft hole (25) of the right shoulder (22), and use a fastener (23) provided with a shaft retaining hole (29) through a stable cushion (28) so that the fixing pin (26) can be fixedly held and fix it in a clamped state. Also, referring to Fig. 6, if the left wall surface of the right shoulder and the opposite right wall surface of the left shoulder are in a form of planar contact connection, it will prevent conversion in the reverse direction. This is a front-back reversible folding hanger.

Embodiment

[0016] For the up-down reversible type of the folding hanger, the front and back positions of the connection state between the left shoulder and the right shoulder can be set either way. The exploded perspective view with the left shoulder in the front position and the right shoulder in the rear position joined is shown in Fig. 7, and the perspective view showing the whole is shown in Fig. 8. A shaft (4) for inverting by a coupling part is provided in front of the left side of the right shoulder part (2), and a rotation stopper (5) of the fastener (3) is provided at the tip. A semi-circular pin movement groove (8) is provided to surround it, and pin fixing holes (10) are provided at both ends thereof, respectively. Further, a shaft hole (6) for passing the shaft (4) is provided on the right side of the left shoulder part (1), and a fixing pin (9) is provided on the opposite surface at a position corresponding to the pin movement groove (8) of the right shoulder part (2). Also, the pin fixing holes (10a) at both ends of the pin movement groove (8) are set at positions where they are integrally fixed when in the hanger state and (10b) when in the folded state, respectively, to limit the area for changing the direction. Pass the shaft (4) of the right shoulder part (2) through the shaft hole (6) of the left part (1) and connect them. Insert the fastener (3) into the shaft retaining hole (7) in a sandwiched state through the stable cushion (11) in a form that is in front of the left shoulder part (1) and fix it. The above is the configuration of the vertically inverted folding hanger in which the left shoulder part is in the front position and the right shoulder part is in the rear position and they are connected.

[0017] In the front-back inversion type of the folding hanger, the connection state between the left shoulder part and the right shoulder part may be configured by reversing the connection state between the left shoulder part and the right shoulder part in a form where the left and right shelf shapes and the inverted shelf shape are reversed. In that case, the formation of each necessary part, the configuration by formed objects, etc. may be reversed left and right.

[0018] In the front-back inversion type of the folding hanger, either one of the two fixing pins (26) provided around the shaft (24) may be used. The two pin fixing holes have the same function because when in the hanger state, the fixing pin enters one of them, and when in the folded state, it is switched and enters the other fixing hole.

[0019] In the front-back inversion type of the folding hanger, a configuration in which the shaft hole (25) of the right shoulder part (22) is passed through the shaft (24) of the left shoulder part (21) and connected, and fixed using a fastener (23) provided with a shaft retaining hole (29) through a stable cushion (28) so that the fixing pin (26) can be continuously fixed can be provided only at the lower part or at both the upper and lower parts. In this case, when the above configuration is on either the upper or lower side, for the side that is not configured, it is only necessary to pass the shaft (24) through the shaft hole (25), and the fastener (29) does not need to be provided.

[0020] In the front-back reversible type of folding hanger, a pin fixing hole (27) is provided at the left shoulder part (21) and a fixing pin (26) is provided at the right shoulder part (22), but they can be provided reversely on the left and right respectively.

[0021] In the front-back reversible type of folding hanger, the connection of both shoulder parts can be made into a single set by making the connection configuration only at the upper part as shown in Fig. 9 for the connection configurations at the upper and lower parts.

[0022] In the front-back reversible type of folding hanger, in addition to the connection part at the lower part, the upper part can be made in the same way as the upper part using the fixing pin and fixing hole.

[0023] The usage method of the top-bottom reversible hanger is as follows: for T-shirts, polo shirts, etc., hold the right shoulder part with the left hand with the neck opening facing forward, hold the right part of the folded hanger with the right hand, and insert the left part of the hanger around the neck. Then, while keeping the right part facing downward, press the fastener (3) part with the thumb or the like, or press the central part of the hanger, and the fixing pin can be released. Then, the right shoulder part will drop down and the fixing pin (9) will enter the pin fixing hole (10), and the stopper will be engaged, so it will become a stable hanger. In the state of becoming a hanger, it is already inclined downward to the lower right and both shoulders can be inserted, and the shirt can be arranged as it is.

[0024] The usage method of the front-back reversible hanger is as follows: for T-shirts, polo shirts, etc., hold the right shoulder part with the left hand with the neck opening facing forward, hold the right part of the folded hanger with the right hand, and insert it diagonally downward to the lower right from the left part into the neck opening. Then, while keeping the right part facing downward, push up the upper right part with the thumb or the like, and the fixing pin (26) can be released. Then, the right shoulder part will drop down and enter the reverse pin fixing (10) hole, and the stopper will be engaged, so it will become a stable hanger. In the state of becoming a hanger, it is already inclined downward to the lower right and both shoulders can be inserted, and the shirt can be arranged as it is.

[0025] Since there are various folding hanger coupling means, moldings, stoppers, stabilizing cushions, etc., they are not limited to those shown above. As long as the folding hanger described as a means for solving the problems of the present invention can be configured, it is not limited to the above, and any means may be used. In addition, specifications at the hanging part, width expansion and contraction of the hanger, and specifications of existing hangers such as spring specifications may be added.

[0026] To prevent the stopper from being unexpectedly released, a locking function of the stopper may be provided by any means.
