AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional wire hangers are standardized and cannot accommodate varying shoulder angles and widths, causing strain and distortion on clothing, particularly at the shoulder seams.

Method used

A wire hanger design with overlapping bends and a spirally wrapped shoulder support that allows adjustment of shoulder angle and width, reducing strain and preventing fabric stiffness.

Benefits of technology

The design enables easy adjustment of shoulder angle and width, reduces strain on garments, maintains garment neatness, and prevents stiffness and wrinkling.

Abstract

To provide a wire hanger 1 provided with overlapping bent-fold portions 2, and a spiral-wound shoulder-direction correcting tool 3, thereby solving the problems in which: when clothing of different sizes is hung on a hanger causes loads making the shoulder portions of the clothing unstable, part of the shoulder portions sagging downward, and the collar portion pulled outward, resulting in distortion and deformation of the clothing; and many resin hangers have thin or narrow shoulder portions similar to those of wire hangers, which impose a large and unreasonable load on the shoulder portions of three-dimensionally sewn clothing.SOLUTION: A wire hanger and a spiral-wound shoulder-direction correcting tool are such that overlapping bent-fold portions are provided on the inner sides toward the center of the hanger on the left and right shoulder portions of the wire hanger, and on the hanging portion on both outer sides.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wire hanger (1) having a plurality of overlapping bends (2) and a spirally wound shoulder support (3). [Background technology]

[0002] Up until now, wire hangers that fit the shoulder angle, shoulder width, and other shoulder orientations of clothing have been rare. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] This had the following drawbacks: Conventional wire hangers were standardized sizes and could not be changed in shape or size. Furthermore, even though the shoulders of clothing are three-dimensional, clothing can only be hung on the thin wire of a wire hanger or the narrow shoulder part of a plastic hanger, which places a great deal of strain on the seams and fabric of the shoulders. This resulted in shoulder distortion, stiffness, etc., which was unreasonable. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is described below. The right and left shoulder parts of the wire hanger are provided with overlapping bent parts at the center side of the hanger, and the hanging part is provided with overlapping bent parts at both outer side parts. Furthermore, a spiral elastic body is provided and attached to the shoulder portion of the hanger in a spiral manner. The present invention is a wire hanger (1) with overlapping bent portions (2) and a spirally wrapped shoulder support (3) having the above-mentioned configuration. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] Next, the effects of the present invention will be described. The wire hanger ▲1▼ with overlapping bends ▲2▼ makes it easy to change the shoulder angle and adjust the shoulder width. Since the load on the shoulders of the garment is reduced, distortion, stiffness, etc. of the fabric in the shoulder area are improved. The spirally wrapped shoulder support (3) prevents the shoulder from becoming stiff and falling apart. Clothes hung on hangers look neat and clean. Furthermore, when folding and storing clothes, using it as a shoulder pad will help prevent them from becoming stiff and wrinkled. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of claim 1 according to the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of claim 2 according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0008] The left and right shoulder parts of the wire hanger are provided with overlapping bends 2 on the center side of the hanger, and the hanging part is provided on both outer sides. A spiral elastic body is provided and wrapped around the shoulder of the hanger. The present invention has the above structure. When using this, you can change the shoulder angle by moving the overlapping bend ▲2▼ on the shoulder part up and down, and open the shoulder width to the left and right. Furthermore, the spirally wrapped shoulder support device ▲3▼ is wrapped around and attached.

[0009] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. The present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention as set forth in the claims. [Example]

[0010] [Figure 1] is an example. [Industrial Applicability]

[0011] The present invention can be advantageously utilized in other industries. [Explanation of symbols]
