DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0013] The bag hook (hereinafter referred to as "hook") H shown in Figures 1(A) to (C) has a hook portion 1 that is approximately U-shaped overall, and a support portion 2 for suspending and supporting the hook portion 1 from above. The tip of the hook portion 1 has a rising portion 3 that extends upward, and the tip of the support portion 2 has a loop-shaped engaging portion 4. One end 6 of a closure body 5 is connected to the engaging portion 4, and the orientation of the other end 7 of the closure body 5 is variable when connected to the engaging portion 4, and the other end 7 can be connected to the upper end of the rising portion 3. When the closure body 5 is connected to the rising portion 3, it is configured so that it has a ring shape (endless) overall (see Figure 1(A)).

[0014] In the hook H configured in this way, by connecting the other end of the closure body 5 to the upper end of the rising portion 3 of the hook part 1, the tip of the hook part 1 is not exposed, and it is possible to prevent damage due to contact. Also, by taking advantage of the fact that the closure body 5 can be freely changed between a closed state (see Fig. 1(A)) in which it is connected to the hook part 1 and an open state (see Figs. 1(B) and (C)) in which it is detached from the hook part 1, if the hook H is attached to the handle of a bag or the like, it will not be dropped when carried, and it will be possible to use it immediately when needed without the trouble of searching for the hook H.

[0015] In addition, the base end 8 of the hook 1 and the base end 9 of the support part 2 are connected by a connecting body 10 extending in the vertical direction so that they can move closer to and away from each other in the vertical direction and can rotate around the axis of the connecting body 10.

[0016] In the hook H configured in this manner, the hook portion 1 and the support portion 2 can be moved closer to or farther from each other in the vertical direction, and the distance from the upper end of the rising portion 3 of the hook portion 1 to the underside of the tip of the support portion 2 can be made large, so that when the hook H is hung on the table top T as shown in Fig. 1(B) and a bag K is hung on the hook H, the bag K hung on the hook H can be placed under the table top T even if the table top T is somewhat thick. Also, in the hook H, the base ends 8, 9 of the hook portion 1 and the support portion 2 can rotate around the axis of the connecting body 10, so that even if there is an obstacle in a specific direction, bag K, umbrella, or other luggage can be hung on the hook H by pointing the hook portion 1 in any direction to avoid the obstacle. For example, as shown in Fig. 1(C), it is also possible to hang the hook H on the back of a chair S and hang the bag K on the hook H.

[0017] The hook H described above can be manufactured by assembling parts (commercially available general-purpose parts) 11 to 14 shown in Fig. 3 with parts (dedicated parts) A to E shown in Fig. 2. Here, part A constitutes the support part 2, part B and part E constitute the closure body 5, part C constitutes the connecting body 10, and part D constitutes the hook part 1.

[0018] The closure 5 is obtained by assembling parts B, E, and 11 through the steps shown in FIGS. 4(A) to 4(F). That is, as shown in FIG. 4(A), part B is a wire (e.g., made of metal) with one end bent into a loop and the other end straight. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4(A), part E is a substantially cylindrical member (e.g., made of metal) with a small through hole 15, a middle through hole 16 with a larger inner diameter than the small through hole 15, a threaded hole 17 with a diameter substantially the same as the middle through hole 16, and a large through hole 18 with a larger inner diameter than the threaded hole 17, formed in this order from one end (top end) to the other end (bottom end). Part 11 is a hexagonal socket (or cross-recessed) set screw (e.g., made of metal).

[0019] 4(A) and 4(B), part B is inserted into part E from the small through hole 15 side with the other straight end thereof first, and the tip of the other end protruding from the large through hole 18 side after insertion is pressed, for example, with a press (not shown) to form large diameter portion 19. As shown in FIG. 4(D), this large diameter portion 19 can pass through large through hole 18, threaded hole 17, and central through hole 16 but cannot pass through small through hole 15. The dimensions of small through hole 15, central through hole 16, threaded hole 17, large through hole 18, and large diameter portion 19, as well as the shape of large diameter portion 19, are set so that part E can be smoothly rotated around the axis of part B relative to part B with large diameter portion 19 positioned within central through hole 16.

[0020] 4(E) and 4(F), part 11 is inserted into part E from the large through hole 18 side and screwed into threaded hole 17 (the male thread of part 11 is screwed into threaded hole 17), and this screwing operation can be performed by inserting an appropriate tool into the hexagonal hole (not shown) of part 11 and rotating it. Furthermore, by applying adhesive to the outer surface of part 11 near the tip end (upper side) during this screwing operation, after the screwing, the part of part 11 near the tip end (upper side) will become fixed to part E (in threaded hole 17) as the adhesive dries, and the part of part 11 near the rear end (lower side) will fit into large through hole 18 in a protruding state. As shown in Figures 3 and 4(F), it is preferable that the part 11 after being screwed is spaced away from the large diameter portion 19 so as not to hinder the rotation of the large diameter portion 19, and it is also preferable that the part 11 after being screwed not protrude outside the large through hole 18 from the standpoints of appearance, prevention of damage (contact) by the part 11 to the bag K, etc., and protection of the part 11 itself.

[0021] In contrast, as shown in Fig. 2, part D, which has the appearance of a wire bent into a roughly U-shape, has an internal thread 20 formed at one end (left end) constituting the rising portion 3, which threads onto the external thread of part 11. Furthermore, part D has an internal thread 21 formed at the other end (right end) that is smaller in diameter than the internal thread 20, and part 13, which is an insert nut, is screwed into this internal thread 21, as shown in Figs. 3, 5(A), and 5(B) (Fig. 5(A) shows only the longitudinal cross section of the other end of part D). This screwing operation can be performed using an appropriate tool. Furthermore, by applying an adhesive to the outer surface of part 13 during this screwing operation, part 13 will be fixed to part D (its internal thread 21) as the adhesive dries after screwing. As shown in Figures 3 and 5(B), it is preferable that the part 13 after being screwed does not protrude outside the female thread 21, as this does not narrow the vertical sliding stroke of part C (the range in which the hook part 1 and the support part 2 can move closer to or further away from each other in the vertical direction), as will be described later.

[0022] 5(C) to 5(E), part C is assembled to the other end (right end) of part D using parts 12 and 14. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5(C), part C is a substantially cylindrical member (made of metal, for example) and has formed inside it, from one end (top end) to the other end (bottom end), in this order: a threaded hole 22; a central through hole 23 having substantially the same diameter as the threaded hole 22; a small through hole 24 having a smaller diameter than the central through hole 23; and a large through hole 25 having an inner diameter larger than the small through hole 24 and which in turn has an inner diameter larger than the central through hole 23. Part 12 is a hexagonal socket bolt (or a cross-recessed bolt, etc.) (made of metal, for example), and part 14 is a flat washer.

[0023] To assemble part C to the other end (right end) of part D, as shown in Figures 5(C) and 5(D), part C is first placed over the other end of part D so that the other end of part D enters large through hole 25 of part C. When part D hits the back of large through hole 25 and cannot proceed any further, parts 12 and 14 are inserted into part C from the screw hole 22 side, and the male thread of part 12 is screwed into the internal female thread (not shown) of part 13 (see Figure 5(E)). This screwing operation can be performed by inserting an appropriate tool into the hexagonal hole (not shown) in the head of part 12 and rotating it. Here, parts 12 and 14 can pass through screw hole 22 and intermediate through hole 23, but only the leg portion of part 12 (portion other than the head) can pass through small through hole 24 (the head of part 12 and part 14 cannot pass through small through hole 24).

[0024] As shown in FIG. 5(E), it is preferable that part 12 after screwing is spaced downward from threaded hole 22 so as not to interfere with the screwing of part A into threaded hole 22, which will be described later. Furthermore, if the lower end of the leg of part 12 is made to protrude below part 13, it is preferable that a receiving groove 26 for receiving the lower end of the leg of part 12 is provided below the female thread 21 at the other end of part D (see FIG. 5(A)).

[0025] 6(A) and 6(B), when part C is assembled to part D using parts 12 to 14 as described above, part C is guided and can slide up and down along the other end of part D (for example, within a range of about 10 mm), and part C can also rotate around the axis of the other end of part D. Note that the head of part 12, which is screwed into part 13, cannot pass through small through-hole 24 of part C, which prevents part C from slipping out of the other end of part D.

[0026] As shown in Figures 6(C) and (D), the male thread 27 of part A is screwed into the screw hole 22 of part C when part C is assembled to part D, and part A is assembled to part C. As also shown in Figure 2, part A has a shape in which one end of a wire rod is bent into a loop and the other end is bent 90 degrees with the male thread 27 formed at the tip. The operation of screwing this male thread 27 into the female thread 22 can be easily performed with or without the use of an appropriate tool. Furthermore, by applying an adhesive to the outer surface of the male thread 27 during this screwing, after screwing, part A (male thread 27) will be fixed to part C (female thread 22) as the adhesive dries.

[0027] Closure 5 (components B and E) obtained through the steps shown in Figures 4(A) to (F) and hook main body obtained by integrating components A, C, and D through the steps shown in Figures 5(A) to (E) and 6(A) to (D) are integrated by press-fitting one end of the loop of component B through gap 28 (see Figure 2) formed at the tip of one end of the loop of component A, as shown in Figure 6(E), so that the wire at one end of component A passes through hole 29 (see Figure 2) formed by the loop at one end of component B (see Figures 1(B) and (C)), thereby completing hook H. Then, by rotating component E about its axis in the completed hook H and screwing component 11 assembled to component E into female thread 20 of component D, hook H becomes ring-shaped as shown in Figure 1(A).

[0028] 1(B) and 1(C), when, for example, bag K is hung on hook portion 1, parts A and D are subjected to a cantilever load that requires a relatively large strength, part C is subjected to a tensile load that requires a relatively small strength, and may also be subjected to a bending load, while parts B and E are not subjected to the load of bag K. Also, as shown in FIG. 1(A), ring-shaped hook H is used like a carabiner, but even in this case, parts B and E are subjected to only a tensile load at most. Taking these points into consideration, in this example, the members (wire rods) used for parts A and D are made relatively thick to increase their strength. Furthermore, for part C, the member (wire rod) used is made relatively thick, taking into account the fact that parts 12 and 14 will be housed inside and the possibility of a bending load being applied. On the other hand, it is assumed that parts B and E will not be subjected to as much load as parts A, D, and C. Therefore, for example, the wire material constituting part B can be made thinner than the wire material constituting parts A and D. By making the diameter thinner in this way, it is possible to increase the freedom and operability of changing the orientation of the closure body 5 connected to the engagement part 4 in the open state detached from the hook part 1 as shown in Figures 1(B) and (C).

[0029] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the following modifications can be mentioned.

[0030] In the above embodiment, parts A and B are assembled in a cross shape by rotating the loops of both parts by 90 degrees, so to speak, through the press-fitting shown in Figure 6(E), but the method of integration is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Figure 7(A), the loops of both parts A and B may be overlapped, and a pin member (not shown) may be provided to maintain a state in which it passes through the center of the loops, so that both parts A and B can rotate around the axis of the pin member.

[0031] In the above embodiment, part C allows part A and part D to move toward and away from each other and to rotate around an axis, but this is not limiting, and for example part A and part D may be directly connected without part C. In this case, although the above-mentioned movement toward and away from each other and rotation are no longer possible, the configuration can be simplified.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the engaging portion 4 is in the form of an upward loop, as shown in FIG. 1(A), but this is not limiting, and the engaging portion 4 may be in the form of a horizontal loop, as shown in FIG. 7(B), for example.

[0033] It goes without saying that the modifications given in this specification may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
