Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a paper hanger member. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, hangers for hanging clothes are made of hard plastic, which is lightweight yet strong. However, from the viewpoint of reducing the environmental impact during disposal and promoting recycling, paper hangers are being considered (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] The hanger described in Patent Document 1 has a hanger body provided with a long hole extending in the left-right direction and a pair of cantilever pieces extending inward from both ends below the long hole. The hanger described in Patent Document 2 has a hanger body including a shoulder strap part that is approximately L-shaped (approximately "Χ" shaped), a hanging part that extends linearly to connect both ends of the shoulder strap part, and a notched ring part that is approximately C-shaped and hooked onto the upper edge of the hanging part. Both ends of the notched ring part extend inward from each other and function as gripping ends for clamping and hanging skirts, trousers, scarves, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3233189 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-179366 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present disclosure describes a paper hanger member that can firmly hold clothing or the like with a clamping portion and that allows easy attachment and detachment of clothing or the like with the clamping portion. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] An example of a paper hanger member includes a flat main body member and a clamping portion. The main body member includes a rod-shaped portion extending in a first direction, which is the width direction of the main body member. The clamping portion includes a first clamping piece, a second clamping piece, and an annular sliding member. The first clamping piece includes a first base end portion capable of engaging with the rod-shaped portion, a first tip end portion, and a first intermediate portion extending between the first base end portion and the first tip end and configured to protrude away from the second clamping piece in a second direction, which is the width direction of the clamping portion, as it extends from the first base end portion toward the first tip end. The second clamping piece includes a second base end portion capable of engaging with the rod-shaped portion, a second tip end portion, and a second intermediate portion configured to extend between the second base end portion and the second tip end. The slide member is configured to move in a third direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the clamping portion, between a first position in which it is positioned around the first and second intermediate portions and constrains the first and second intermediate portions in the second direction so that the first and second tip portions are close to each other, and a second position in which it is positioned around the first and second base ends and does not constrain the first and second intermediate portions so that the first and second tip portions can move away from each other in the second direction. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the paper hanger member of the present disclosure, clothing or the like can be firmly clamped by the clamping portion, and the clothing or the like can be easily put on and taken off by the clamping portion. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] In the following description, the same elements or elements having the same functions will be designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted. The dimensional ratios of each element are not limited to those shown in the drawings. In this specification, when referring to the top, bottom, right, and left of a drawing, the directions of the reference numerals in the drawing will be used as the reference.

[0010] An example of the paper hanger member 1 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 8. The paper hanger member 1 includes a hook member 10 having a generally flat plate shape, a main body member 20 having a generally flat plate shape, and two clamping portions 30.

[0011] [Hook component] The hook member 10 is configured to be hooked onto a rod-shaped member (not shown) such as a pole or a hanger pipe. As illustrated in Figures 1 and 3, the hook member 10 includes a hook main body 11 and a base portion 12 integrally provided at a base end 11a of the hook main body 11.

[0012] The hook body 11 is curved so that the tip 11b side is substantially J-shaped. The hook body 11 includes a protrusion 13 provided at the apex of the curved inner edge 11c. The protrusion 13 may have, for example, a substantially semicircular shape. The height of the protrusion 13 may be, for example, approximately 0.3 mm to 3 mm, or approximately 0.5 mm to 2 mm, based on the apex of the inner edge 11c.

[0013] When hook member 10 is hooked onto a rod-shaped member, protrusion 13 comes into contact with the rod-shaped member, thereby reducing the contact area between hook member 10 and the rod-shaped member. This allows paper hanger member 1 to slide smoothly on the rod-shaped member. In particular, in dry cleaning factories, hangers with clothes or the like hung on them are generally transported by sliding them on inclined rod-shaped members, so the inclusion of protrusion 13 on hook main body 11 makes it easier to maintain the rigidity of hook member 10.

[0014] The base portion 12 has a substantially rectangular shape. In the example of Figures 1 and 3, the base end 11a of the hook main body 11 is provided on the long side of the base portion 12. The base portion 12 is configured to be wider than the hook member 10.

[0015] [Main body parts] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4, the main body member 20 includes a main body portion 21, a bent portion 22, a rod-shaped portion 23, and a pair of rod-shaped portions 24.

[0016] The main body 21 has a generally trapezoidal shape overall. That is, the main body 21 includes a pair of oblique sides 21a that slope downward from the center toward the sides in the width direction. The width direction of the main body 21 is the left-right direction in FIGS. 1 and 4, and also the direction of arrow Ar1 shown in each figure. In this document, the width direction of the main body 21 may be simply referred to as the "width direction Ar1" (first direction).

[0017] The main body portion 21 includes a through hole 21b (second through hole). The through hole 21b is located near the top of the main body portion 21 and approximately in the center of the main body portion 21 in the width direction Ar1. The through hole 21b has a substantially rectangular shape and extends along the width direction Ar1. The size of the through hole 21b may be approximately the same as the size of the base portion 12 of the hook member 10, or may be slightly larger or smaller than that.

[0018] As illustrated in Fig. 4, the main body 21 includes a protrusion 25 provided on the lower edge 21b1 of the through-hole 21b. The protrusion 25 protrudes from the lower edge 21b1 toward the upper edge 21b2 of the through-hole 21b. The protrusion 25 may have, for example, a generally arcuate shape (a shape surrounded by a minor arc of a circle and a chord connecting both ends of the minor arc). The height of the protrusion 25 may be, for example, approximately 1 mm to 4 mm, or may be approximately 2 mm to 3 mm, based on the lower edge 21b1.

[0019] The base portion 12 of the hook member 10 inserted into the through hole 21b is caught on the protrusion 25, thereby engaging the protrusion 25 with the through hole 21b. This prevents the base portion 12 from coming off the through hole 21b, and the hook member 10 is attached to the main body member 20. On the other hand, when the hook member 10 is to be removed from the main body member 20, the base portion 12 is released from being caught on the protrusion 25. In other words, the hook member 10 is configured to be detachable from the main body member 20.

[0020] Note that a protrusion corresponding to protrusion 25 may be provided on the lower edge of base portion 12. In this case, the protrusion engages with lower edge 21b1 of through hole 21b, thereby attaching hook member 10 to main body member 20. Alternatively, no protrusion may be provided on through hole 21b or base portion 12. In this case, by setting the size of base portion 12 slightly larger than through hole 21b, hook member 10 can be attached to main body member 20 by pushing base portion 12 into through hole 21b while deforming the periphery thereof.

[0021] 4, the main body portion 21 includes a pair of cutting lines 26, 27. Each of the pair of cutting lines 26, 27 is a linear cut that penetrates from one main surface (e.g., the front surface) of the main body portion 21 to the other main surface (e.g., the back surface).

[0022] The cutting line 26 includes a cutting line 26a (first cutting line) and a cutting line 26b (third cutting line). The cutting line 26a extends linearly upward from the upper edge 21b2 of the through hole 21b near the left end of the upper edge 21b2. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the cutting line 26a may extend upward from inside the left end of the upper edge 21b2. In this case, the starting point of the cutting line 26a may be approximately 0.5 mm to 2 mm, or approximately 1 mm to 1.5 mm, from the left end of the upper edge 21b2. Alternatively, the cutting line 26a may extend upward from the left end of the upper edge 21b2.

[0023] The cutting line 26b passes through the upper end of the cutting line 26a and extends along the width direction Ar1. The cutting line 26b may substantially coincide with the upper edge of the main body portion 21. The cutting line 26b may extend outward from the upper end of the cutting line 26a, as illustrated in FIG. 4 . In this case, the cutting line 26 has an L-shape as a whole. Alternatively, the cutting line 26b may extend inward from the upper end of the cutting line 26a. In this case, the cutting line 26 also has an L-shape as a whole. Alternatively, the cutting line 26b may extend both outward and inward from the upper end of the cutting line 26a. In this case, the cutting line 26 has a T-shape as a whole.

[0024] The cutting line 27 includes a cutting line 27a (second cutting line) and a cutting line 27b (fourth cutting line). The cutting line 27 has the same configuration as the cutting line 26, except that the cutting line 27 is symmetrical to the cutting line 26 with respect to a virtual line extending in the height direction of the main body member 20. Therefore, a description of the cutting line 27 will be omitted. The height direction of the main body member 20 is the vertical direction in FIGS. 1 and 4, and is also the direction of the arrow Ar2 shown in each figure. In this document, the height direction of the main body member 20 may be simply referred to as the "height direction Ar2."

[0025] The folding portion 22 is provided integrally with the upper edge of the main body portion 21. Therefore, the upper edge of the main body portion 21 also functions as a folding line L of the folding portion 22. By folding the folding portion 22 along the folding line L, the folding portion 22 is inclined with respect to the main body portion 21. The folding line L may include a cut line (half-cut line). In this case, the folding portion 22 can be smoothly folded.

[0026] The bent portion 22 includes a through hole 22a (first through hole). The through hole 22a is located at the center of the bent portion 22 in the width direction Ar1. The through hole 22a is located above the through hole 21b. The through hole 22a has a substantially rectangular shape and extends along the width direction Ar1. The width (length in the width direction Ar1) of the through hole 22a is set to be smaller than the width of the through hole 21b, larger than the width (length in the extension direction) of the hook main body 11, and smaller than the width of the base portion 12. Therefore, the hook main body 11 can pass through the through hole 22a, but the base portion 12 cannot pass through the through hole 22a. In the example of FIG. 4, the lower edge of the through hole 22a extends so as to substantially coincide with the bending line L in the width direction Ar1, but it does not have to substantially coincide with the bending line L.

[0027] The rod-shaped portion 23 extends linearly along the width direction Ar1 so as to connect both side ends (the lower ends of the oblique sides 21a) of the main body portion 21. Therefore, a long hole 23a extending linearly along the width direction Ar1 is provided between the rod-shaped portion 23 and the main body portion 21. For example, clothing such as trousers can be hung from the paper hanger member 1 by passing the clothing through the long hole 23a and hanging it on the rod-shaped portion 23.

[0028] Each of the pair of rod-shaped portions 24 extends linearly inward from a side end (the lower end of the oblique side 21a) of the main body portion 21 along the width direction Ar1. Therefore, the pair of rod-shaped portions 24 are cantilevered. For example, clothing such as a brassiere strip or leg openings of shorts can be hung on the rod-shaped portions 24, allowing the paper hanger member 1 to hang the garment.

[0029] 4, the rod-shaped part 24 includes a protrusion 24a provided at the tip of the rod-shaped part 24. The protrusion 24a protrudes upward from the tip of the rod-shaped part 24. The presence of the protrusion 24a prevents the clothing hanging from the rod-shaped part 24 from falling off the tip side of the rod-shaped part 24.

[0030] 4, the upper edge 24b of the rod-shaped portion 24 is inclined downward as it extends outward in the width direction Ar1. The inclination angle of the upper edge 24b may be approximately 1° to 3° with respect to an imaginary line extending in the width direction Ar1. Alternatively, the upper edge 24b may extend along the width direction Ar1, or may be inclined upward as it extends outward in the width direction Ar1.

[0031] [Holding part] 1, the clamping portions 30 are attached to the pair of rod-shaped portions 24. As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, 5, and 6, the clamping portions 30 include clamping pieces 31 and 32 and a slide member 33.

[0032] As illustrated in Figures 2, 5 and 6, the clamping piece 31 (first clamping piece) includes a base end portion 31a (first base end portion), an intermediate portion 31b (first intermediate portion), and a tip portion 31c (first tip portion).

[0033] The base end 31a extends along the longitudinal direction of the clamping unit 30. In the examples of Figs. 2, 5, and 6, the base end 31a has an elongated shape (a shape in which the edges of a pair of arcs are connected by a straight line), but is not limited thereto and may have other shapes such as a rectangular shape or an elliptical shape. The longitudinal direction of the clamping unit 30 is the vertical direction in Figs. 2, 5, and 6, and is also the direction of the arrow Ar3 shown in each figure. In this specification, the longitudinal direction of the clamping unit 30 may be simply referred to as the "longitudinal direction Ar3" (third direction).

[0034] The base end 31a includes a through hole H1. The through hole H1 is located near the top of the base end 31a. The through hole H1 has a substantially rectangular shape and extends along the longitudinal direction Ar3. The size of the through hole H1 may be larger than the width of the rod-shaped portion 24 in the extension direction. Therefore, by inserting the rod-shaped portion 24 into the through hole H1, the clamping piece 31 is engaged with the rod-shaped portion 24.

[0035] The intermediate portion 31b extends between the base end portion 31a and the tip end portion 31c. The intermediate portion 31b may be provided integrally with the base end portion 31a and the tip end portion 31c. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 5, when the clamping pieces 31, 32 are combined, the intermediate portion 31b protrudes away from the intermediate portion 32b (described later) of the clamping piece 32 in the width direction of the clamping unit 30 as it moves from the base end portion 31a toward the tip end portion 31c. The width direction of the clamping unit 30 is the left-right direction in FIG. 5 and is also the direction of arrow Ar4 shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 6. In this specification, the width direction of the clamping unit 30 may be simply referred to as the "width direction Ar4" (second direction).

[0036] 2 and 5, the tip portion 31c protrudes in the width direction Ar4 toward the tip portion 32c (described later) of the clamping piece 32. Between the intermediate portion 31b and the tip portion 31c, the outer portion 31d of the tip portion 31c protrudes toward the side (outside) away from the intermediate portion 32b of the clamping piece 32 in the width direction of the clamping part 30. Therefore, a step portion ST1 is formed between the intermediate portion 31b and the tip portion 31c by the outer portion 31d of the tip portion 31c.

[0037] As illustrated in FIG. 6, the clamping piece 31 is configured by stacking a plate-shaped body P1 (second plate-shaped body) and a plate-shaped body P2 (first plate-shaped body). The plate-shaped body P1 has a shape corresponding to the base end portion 31a, the middle portion 31b, and the tip end portion 31c. That is, the plate-shaped body P1 includes a portion P1a (first portion) that constitutes the base end portion 31a and a portion P1b (second portion) that constitutes the middle portion 31b and the tip end portion 31c. The plate-shaped body P2 has a shape corresponding to the base end portion 31a and the middle portion 31b. The plate-shaped body P2 is connected to the portion P1a of the plate-shaped body P1 by, for example, an adhesive. That is, a stack of the plate-shaped body P2 and the portion P1a of the plate-shaped body P1 constitutes the base end portion 31a and the middle portion 31b.

[0038] As illustrated in Figures 2, 5, and 6, the clamping piece 32 (second clamping piece) includes a base end portion 32a (second base end portion), an intermediate portion 32b (second intermediate portion), and a tip end portion 32c (second tip end portion). The clamping piece 32 has the same configuration as the clamping piece 31. Therefore, the base end portion 32a includes a through-hole H2 corresponding to the through-hole H1. In addition, a step portion ST2 is formed between the intermediate portion 32b and the tip end portion 32c by an outer portion 32d of the tip end portion 32c.

[0039] As illustrated in Fig. 6, similar to the clamping piece 31, the clamping piece 32 is configured by stacking a plate-shaped body P3 (fourth plate-shaped body) and a plate-shaped body P4 (third plate-shaped body). The plate-shaped body P3 includes a portion P3a (third portion) that constitutes the base end portion 32a, and a portion P3b (fourth portion) that constitutes the middle portion 32b and the tip portion 32c. The plate-shaped body P4 is connected to the portion P3a of the plate-shaped body P3 by, for example, an adhesive. In other words, the stack of the plate-shaped body P4 and the portion P3a of the plate-shaped body P3 constitutes the base end portion 32a and the middle portion 32b.

[0040] As illustrated in Fig. 2, the slide member 33 is an annular member having an overall rectangular shape. That is, the slide member 33 includes a through hole 33a located in its center. The through hole 33a has a generally rectangular shape extending along the width direction Ar4. The width of the through hole 33a in the width direction Ar4 may be approximately the same as the width of the middle portions 31b and 32b when the clamping pieces 31 and 32 are combined together.

[0041] The slide member 33 is inserted into the base ends 31 a, 32 a and the intermediate portions 31 b, 32 b when the clamping pieces 31, 32 are combined together. When inserted into the base ends 31 a, 32 a and the intermediate portions 31 b, 32 b, the slide member 33 is movable between a first position (see FIG. 2) and a second position (see FIG. 7) along the longitudinal direction Ar3.

[0042] The slide member 33 being in the first position refers to the case where the slide member 33 is positioned around the middle portions 31b and 32b, as illustrated in Figure 2. At this time, the presence of the step portions ST1 and ST2 prevents the slide member 33 from moving toward the tip portions 31c and 32c.

[0043] At the first position, the slide member 33 restrains the intermediate portions 31b and 32b in the width direction Ar4, so that the tips of the tip portions 31c and 32c are kept close to each other. In the example of Fig. 2, at the first position, the tip surfaces of the tip portions 31c and 32c are in contact with each other.

[0044] 2 and 5, in the first position, one outer surface S1 of the slide member 33 does not have to be positioned outward from the outer surface S3 of the tip end 31c (outer portion 31d). Similarly, in the first position, the other outer surface S2 of the slide member 33 does not have to be positioned outward from the outer surface S4 of the tip end 32c (outer portion 32d). In other words, when the clamping unit 30 is viewed from the front, the outer surface S1 may be positioned at the same position as or more inward from the outer surface S3 in the width direction Ar4. Similarly, when the clamping unit 30 is viewed from the front, the outer surface S3 may be positioned at the same position as or more inward from the outer surface S4 in the width direction Ar4.

[0045] 2, 5, and 6, at the first position, the upper end surface S5 of the plate-like body P2 may abut against the peripheral surface of the plate-like body P3. More specifically, at the first position, the upper end surface S5 of the plate-like body P2 may abut against the lower end surface S6 of the portion P3a of the plate-like body P3 that constitutes the base end 32a. Similarly, at the first position, the upper end surface S7 of the plate-like body P4 may abut against the peripheral surface of the plate-like body P1. More specifically, at the first position, the upper end surface S7 of the plate-like body P4 may abut against the lower end surface S8 of the portion P1a of the plate-like body P1 that constitutes the base end 31a.

[0046] The slide member 33 being in the second position refers to the case where the slide member 33 is positioned around the base ends 31a, 32a, as illustrated in Fig. 7. At this time, the slide member 33 does not restrain the intermediate portions 31b, 32b, and therefore the clamping pieces 31, 32, with the through holes H1, H2 inserted through the rod-shaped portion 24, swing around the rod-shaped portion 24, thereby allowing the tip ends 31c, 32c to move away from each other.

[0047] [Paper materials that make up paper hanger components] With reference to FIG. 8, an example of the paper material that constitutes the paper hanger member 1 will be described.

[0048] As illustrated in Fig. 8(a), the hook member 10 may be configured by stacking a corrugated cardboard B10 (first corrugated cardboard), an intermediate paper material CB, and a corrugated cardboard B10 (second corrugated cardboard) in this order. That is, the intermediate paper material CB is disposed between the corrugated cardboards B10. The corrugated cardboard B10, the intermediate paper material CB, and the corrugated cardboard B10 may be joined to one another by, for example, an adhesive or the like.

[0049] The corrugated cardboard B10 includes a pair of liners B11, B12 and a corrugating medium B13. The corrugating medium B13 is disposed between the liners B11, B12 and is joined to the liners B11, B12 with an adhesive or the like. The corrugating medium B13 is also called a flute and is processed into a corrugated shape. Therefore, the corrugated cardboard B10 has a truss structure.

[0050] The intermediate paper material CB may be a paper material having higher rigidity than the cardboards B10 and B20. The intermediate paper material CB may be, for example, thick paper such as chipboard. Therefore, the laminate B1, in which the cardboard B10, the intermediate paper material CB, and the cardboard B10 are laminated, exhibits high rigidity in addition to high durability.

[0051] 8(b), the main body member 20 and the plate-like bodies P1 to P4 may be configured by stacking corrugated cardboard B10, corrugated cardboard B20, and corrugated cardboard B10 in this order. That is, the corrugated cardboard B20 is disposed between the corrugated cardboards B10 and B10. The corrugated cardboards B10, B20, and B10 may be joined to one another by, for example, an adhesive or the like.

[0052] The corrugated cardboard B20 includes a pair of liners B21, B22 and a medium B23. The corrugated cardboard B20 has the same structure as the corrugated cardboard B10, but the direction of the corrugations of the medium B23 is perpendicular to the direction of the corrugations of the medium B13. Therefore, the laminate B2, in which the corrugated cardboards B10, B20, and B10 are stacked, exhibits high durability.

[0053] The hook member 10 may be formed of a laminate B2. The main body member 20 and the plate-like members P1 to P4 may be formed of a laminate B1. The laminate B1 may be formed by laminating, in this order, a corrugated cardboard B10, an intermediate paper material CB, and a corrugated cardboard B20.

[0054] [Effect] According to the above example, when the sliding member 33 is in the second position, the intermediate portions 31b and 32b are not constrained. Therefore, the clamping pieces 31 and 32 can rotate about the base ends 31a and 32a, respectively, which are engaged with the rod-shaped portion 24. Therefore, the tip ends 31c and 32c can be separated from each other in the width direction Ar4. At this time, clothing or the like can be placed between the tip ends 31c and 32c. On the other hand, when the sliding member 33 is in the first position, the intermediate portions 31b and 32b are constrained in the width direction Ar4 so that the tip ends 31c and 32c are close to each other. Therefore, if clothing or the like is placed between the tip ends 31c and 32c, the clothing or the like is clamped by the tip ends 31c and 32c. As long as the sliding member 33 is in the first position, the clamping portion 30 continues to clamp the garments, etc., but when the sliding member 33 is moved to the second position, as described above, the tip portions 31c, 32c can be separated from each other, allowing the garments, etc. to be removed from the clamping portion 30. In this way, according to the paper hanger member 1, simply by moving the sliding member 33 in the longitudinal direction Ar3 relative to the clamping pieces 31, 32, the clamping portion 30 can firmly clamp the garments, etc., and the garments, etc. can be easily attached and detached using the clamping portion 30.

[0055] According to the above example, when the slide member 33 is in the first position, the upper end surface S5 of the plate-like body P2 abuts against the peripheral surface (lower end surface S6) of the plate-like body P3. Therefore, the plate-like body P2, which tends to move inward, is supported by the plate-like body P3. Similarly, when the slide member 33 is in the first position, the upper end surface S7 of the plate-like body P4 abuts against the peripheral surface (lower end surface S8) of the plate-like body P1. Therefore, the plate-like body P4, which tends to move inward, is supported by the plate-like body P1. Therefore, the load is less likely to concentrate between the portions P1a and P1b, and the load is less likely to concentrate between the portions P3a and P3b. As a result, it is possible to suppress deformation of the clamping pieces 31, 32.

[0056] According to the above example, the upper edge 24b of the rod-shaped portion 24 is inclined downward as it moves outward in the width direction Ar1. Therefore, even when the clamping portion 30 grips a garment or the like and its weight is applied to the cantilevered rod-shaped portion 24, the direction of the load acting on the rod-shaped portion 24 is not vertically downward, but outwardly downward. This reduces the load acting vertically downward on the rod-shaped portion 24. This makes it possible to suppress deformation of the rod-shaped portion 24.

[0057] According to the above example, the presence of cutting lines 26a and 27a extending upward from upper edge 21b2 of through hole 21b makes it difficult for loads to concentrate on the corners on the upper edge 21b2 side of through hole 21b. This makes it possible to prevent tearing of main body member 20 at those corners of through hole 21b. Furthermore, according to the above example, since hook member 10 is configured to be detachable from main body member 20, if hook member 10 becomes prone to deformation with use (if rigidity decreases), the paper hanger member 1 can be continued to be used by simply replacing hook member 10 without replacing main body member 20. This allows for efficient use of resources.

[0058] According to the above example, the cutting lines 26a and 27a extend upward from inside both ends of the upper edge 21b2 of the through hole 21b. Therefore, when the cutting lines 26a and 27a and the through hole 21b are formed using a cutting tool, the cutting tool corresponding to the cutting lines 26a and 27a is offset (displaced) from the cutting tool corresponding to the side edge of the through hole 21b. This makes it difficult for the cutting tool to bend when processing the paper material with the cutting tool. This makes it possible to prevent the cutting tool from breaking or chipping.

[0059] According to the above example, the cutting line 26b passes through the upper end of the cutting line 26a and extends along the width direction Ar1, and the cutting line 27b passes through the upper end of the cutting line 27a and extends along the width direction Ar1. Therefore, when the folding portion 22 is bent starting from the upper ends of the cutting lines 26a and 27a, the cutting lines 26b and 27b prevent the tear from progressing beyond the upper ends. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the main body member 20 from breaking from the upper ends of the cutting lines 26a and 27a.

[0060] According to the above example, the intermediate paper material BC, which has higher rigidity than the cardboard boxes B10, B20, is placed between the cardboard boxes B10, B20, thereby increasing the durability of the hook member 10 as a whole. Therefore, the hook member 10 is less likely to bend even when forces are applied in various directions. Therefore, even though it is made of paper, it can be used for a long period of time, which allows for effective use of resources.

[0061] According to the above example, when the clamping unit 30 is viewed from the front with the sliding member 33 in the first position, the outer surfaces S1 and S2 on both sides of the sliding member 33 are positioned at the same position as or further inward than the outer surfaces S3 and S4 of the tip portions 31c and 32c. Therefore, even if the user's hand unexpectedly touches the sliding member 33 in the first position, the hand is unlikely to get caught on the sliding member 33. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sliding member 33 from unexpectedly moving to the second position, causing the clothing or the like gripped by the clamping unit 30 to fall.

[0062] [Variations] The disclosure in this specification should be considered to be illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. Various omissions, substitutions, modifications, etc. may be made to the above examples without departing from the scope and spirit of the claims.

[0063] (1) In this document, the paper hanger member 1 may include, for example, a form in which the hook member 10 is integrally provided with the main body member 20, or a form in which the hook member 10 is detachable from the main body member 20. Also, in this document, the paper hanger member 1 may include, for example, a form in which the paper hanger member 1 includes the main body member 20 but does not include the hook member 10.

[0064] (2) The hook member 10, the main body member 20 and the plate-like bodies P1 to P4 may be made of a single layer of paper material, or may be made of a laminate of two or more layers of paper material.

[0065] (3) The clamping portion 30 may be attached to the rod-shaped portion 23, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 . Specifically, the clamping piece 31 may include a locking portion 31e provided at the upper end of the base end 31a. The locking portion 31e is provided on a side surface of the base end 31a closer to the clamping piece 32 when the clamping pieces 31 and 32 are combined, and protrudes upward beyond the upper end of the base end 31a. Therefore, a crank shape is formed by the upper end of the base end 31a and the locking portion 31e. Similarly, the clamping piece 32 may include a locking portion 32e provided at the upper end of the base end 32a. The locking portion 32e is provided on a side surface of the base end 32a closer to the clamping piece 31 when the clamping pieces 31 and 32 are combined, and protrudes upward beyond the upper end of the base end 32a. Therefore, a crank shape is formed by the upper end of the base end 32a and the locking portion 32e.

[0066] With the locking portions 31e, 32e inserted into the elongated holes 23a from different sides, the lower edges of the locking portions 31e, 32e catch on the upper edges of the rod-shaped portion 23 and the upper ends of the locking portions 31e, 32e sandwich the main body 21, thereby locking the clamping pieces 31, 32 to the rod-shaped portion 23. At this time, when the slide member 33 is in the first position, as illustrated in Figure 9, the slide member 33 restrains the intermediate portions 31b, 32b in the width direction Ar4, so that the tips of the tip portions 31c, 32c are maintained in close proximity to each other. On the other hand, when the slide member 33 is in the second position, as illustrated in Figure 10, the slide member 33 does not restrain the intermediate portions 31b, 32b, so that the clamping pieces 31, 32 with the lower edges of the engagement portions 31e, 32e hooked onto the upper edges of the rod-shaped portion 23 swing around the rod-shaped portion 23, allowing the tip portions 31c, 32c to move away from each other.

[0067] [Other examples] Example 1. An example of a paper hanger member includes a flat main body member and a clamping portion. The main body member includes a rod-shaped portion extending in a first direction, which is the width direction of the main body member. The clamping portion includes a first clamping piece, a second clamping piece, and an annular sliding member. The first clamping piece includes a first base end portion capable of being engaged with the rod-shaped portion, a first tip end portion, and a first intermediate portion extending between the first base end portion and the first tip end and configured to protrude away from the second clamping piece in a second direction, which is the width direction of the clamping portion, as it extends from the first base end portion toward the first tip end. The second clamping piece includes a second base end portion capable of being engaged with the rod-shaped portion, a second tip end portion, and a second intermediate portion configured to extend between the second base end portion and the second tip end. The slide member is configured to move in a third direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the clamping portion, between a first position in which it is positioned around the first and second intermediate portions and constrains the first and second intermediate portions in the second direction so that the first and second tip portions are close to each other, and a second position in which it is positioned around the first and second base ends and does not constrain the first and second intermediate portions so that the first and second tip portions can move away from each other in the second direction.

[0068] In this case, when the sliding member is in the second position, the first and second intermediate portions are not constrained. Therefore, the first and second clamping pieces can rotate around the first and second base ends, which are engaged with the rod-shaped portion. Therefore, the first and second tip portions can be separated from each other in the second direction. At this time, clothing or the like can be placed between the first and second tip portions. On the other hand, when the sliding member is in the first position, the first and second intermediate portions are constrained in the second direction so that the first and second tip portions are close to each other. Therefore, if clothing or the like is placed between the first and second tip portions, the clothing or the like is clamped by the first and second tip portions. The clamping portions continue to clamp the clothing or the like as long as the sliding member is in the first position. However, when the sliding member is moved to the second position, the first and second tip portions can be separated from each other, as described above, and the clothing or the like can be removed from the clamping portions. Thus, with the paper hanger member of Example 1, simply by moving the sliding member in the longitudinal direction of the clamping portion relative to the first and second clamping pieces, clothing, etc. can be firmly clamped by the clamping portion, and clothing, etc. can be easily attached and detached using the clamping portion.

[0069] Example 2: In the paper hanger member of Example 1, the first clamping piece includes a first plate-like body, a second plate-like body including a first portion constituting the first base end and a second portion on which the first plate-like body is stacked, and the stack of the first plate-like body and the second portion constitutes a first intermediate portion and a first tip portion, the second clamping piece includes a third plate-like body, a third portion constituting the second base end and a fourth plate-like body including a fourth portion on which the third plate-like body is stacked, and the stack of the third plate-like body and the fourth portion constitutes a second intermediate portion and a second tip portion, and when the sliding member is in the first position, the upper end surface of the first plate-like body abuts against the peripheral surface of the fourth plate-like body, and the upper end surface of the third plate-like body abuts against the peripheral surface of the second plate-like body. When the sliding member is in the first position, the sliding member restrains the first and second intermediate portions in the second direction, causing an inward force to act on each of the first and second clamping pieces. However, according to Example 2, when the sliding member is in the first position, the upper end surface of the first plate-shaped body abuts against the peripheral surface of the fourth plate-shaped body. Therefore, the first plate-shaped body, which is moving inward, is supported by the fourth plate-shaped body. Similarly, when the sliding member is in the first position, the upper end surface of the third plate-shaped body abuts against the peripheral surface of the second plate-shaped body. Therefore, the third plate-shaped body, which is moving inward, is supported by the second plate-shaped body. Therefore, loads are less likely to concentrate between the first and second portions, and loads are less likely to concentrate between the third and fourth portions. As a result, deformation of the first and second clamping pieces can be suppressed.

[0070] Example 3: In the paper hanger member of Example 1 or Example 2, the rod-shaped portion may be cantilevered, extending inward in the first direction from the side end of the main body portion, and the upper edge of the rod-shaped portion may be inclined downward as it extends outward in the first direction. In this case, even when the clamping portion grips a garment or the like and its weight is applied to the cantilevered rod-shaped portion, the direction of the load acting on the rod-shaped portion is not vertically downward, but outwardly downward. Therefore, the load acting vertically downward on the rod-shaped portion is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to suppress deformation of the rod-shaped portion.

[0071] Example 4. The paper hanger member of any of Examples 1 to 3 may further include a hook member configured to be detachably attached to the main body member, the hook member including a hook body portion and a base portion provided at a base end of the hook body portion and wider than the hook body portion, the main body member including a first through hole having a width greater than that of the hook body portion and less than that of the base portion, a rectangular second through hole located below the first through hole and having a width greater than that of the first through hole, and first and second cutting lines extending upward from the upper edge of the second through hole, the hook member may be attached to the main body member by inserting the hook body portion into the first through hole and engaging the base portion with the second through hole. However, when attaching the hook member to the main body member, inserting the hook body portion into the first through hole and attempting to engage the base portion with the second through hole causes the portion of the hook body portion surrounding the first through hole to bend. In this case, as in Example 4, the presence of the first and second cutting lines extending upward from the upper edge of the second through hole makes it difficult for loads to concentrate on the corners on the upper edge side of the second through hole. This makes it possible to prevent the main body member from tearing at the corners of the second through hole. Furthermore, according to Example 4, since the hook member is configured to be detachable from the main body member, if the hook member becomes prone to deformation with use (if its rigidity decreases), the paper hanger member can be continued to be used by simply replacing the hook member without replacing the main body member. This allows for efficient use of resources.

[0072] Example 5: In the paper hanger member of Example 4, the first and second cutting lines may extend upward from inside both ends of the upper edge of the second through hole. In this case, when the first and second cutting lines and the second through hole are formed with a cutting tool, the cutting tool corresponding to the first and second cutting lines is offset (displaced) from the cutting tool corresponding to the side edge of the second through hole. Therefore, when the cutting tool processes the paper material, the cutting tool is less likely to bend. This makes it possible to prevent the cutting tool from breaking or chipping.

[0073] Example 6: In the paper hanger member of Example 4 or Example 5, the main body member may further include a third cutting line passing above the first cutting line and extending along the first direction, and a fourth cutting line passing above the second cutting line and extending along the first direction. When attaching the hook member to the main body member, the periphery of the first through hole in the main body member bends from the upper ends of the first and second cutting lines. Therefore, the bending of the periphery may cause the main body member to tear from the upper ends of the first and second cutting lines. However, according to Example 6, the third cutting line passes above the upper end of the first cutting line and extends along the first direction, and the fourth cutting line passes above the upper end of the second cutting line and extends along the first direction. Therefore, when the peripheral portion is bent starting from the upper ends of the first and second cutting lines, the third and fourth cutting lines prevent the tear from progressing beyond the upper ends, thereby making it possible to prevent the main body member from breaking from the upper ends of the first and second cutting lines.

[0074] Example 7: In the paper hanger member of any of Examples 4 to 6, the hook member is constructed by laminating a first corrugated cardboard, a second corrugated cardboard, and an intermediate paper material placed between the first and second corrugated cardboards, and the rigidity of the intermediate paper material may be higher than the rigidity of the first and second corrugated cardboards. In this case, the intermediate paper material, which has a higher rigidity than the corrugated cardboards, is placed between the first and second corrugated cardboards, thereby increasing the durability of the hook member as a whole. As a result, the hook member is less likely to bend even when forces are applied in various directions. Therefore, although it is made of paper, it can be used for a long period of time, allowing for effective use of resources.

[0075] Example 8: In the paper hanger member of any of Examples 1 to 7, when the sliding member is in the first position and the clamping portion is viewed from the front, the outer surfaces on both sides of the sliding member may be positioned at the same level as or further inward than the outer surfaces of the first and second tip portions. In this case, even if a user's hand unexpectedly touches the sliding member in the first position, the hand is less likely to get caught on the sliding member. This makes it possible to prevent the sliding member from unexpectedly moving to the second position and causing clothing or the like held by the clamping portion to fall. [Explanation of symbols]
