[Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The gist of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0007] A clothes hanger hook A has a support arm 1 installed in an inclined position P1 and a plurality of hanger hook portions 3 that can hang clothes hangers 2 at intervals in the arm length direction, The hanger hooking portion 3 is configured to be switchable between a storage state S1 in which the clothes hanger 2 cannot be hung and a use state S2 in which the clothes hanger 2 can be hung, and This clothes hanger is characterized in that it is equipped with a sequential switching mechanism 4 in which, when the hanger hooking part 3 located on the inclined lower side of the support arm 1 installed in the inclined posture P1 is set to the usage state S2 and a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanger hooking part 3 in this usage state S2, another hanger hooking part 3 adjacent to the hanger hooking part 3 on the inclined upper side of the support arm 1 from the storage state S1 to the usage state S2.

[0008] In addition, the sequential switching mechanism 4 is When the first hanger hooking portion 3A located at the lowermost side of the support arm 1 installed in the inclined posture P1 is set to the use state S2 and a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the first hanger hooking portion 3A in this use state S2, the second hanger hooking portion 3B adjacent to the upper side of the support arm 1 inclined from the first hanger hooking portion 3A is switched from the storage state S1 to the use state S2, When a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the second hanger hooking portion 3B in the use state S2, the third hanger hooking portion 3C adjacent to the second hanger hooking portion 3B on the inclined upper side of the support arm portion 1 is switched from the storage state S1 to the use state S2, Similarly, when a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanger hooking part 3 that has been set to the use state S2, another hanger hooking part 3 adjacent to the hanger hooking part 3 on the inclined upper side of the support arm part 1 from the hanger hooking part 3 on which the clothes hanger 2 is hung is switched from the storage state S1 to the use state S2.

[0009] The clothes hanger hook according to claim 1 is characterized in that the hanger hook part 3 is provided on the support arm 1 so as to be able to freely rotate up and down, and the hanger hook part 3 rotates down relative to the support arm 1 to reach the stored state S1, and the hanger hook part 3 rotates up and down relative to the support arm 1 to protrude from the support arm 1 to reach the use state S2.

[0010] The sequential switching mechanism 4 is also configured so that when the hanger hooking part 3 located on the inclined lower side of the support arm 1 in the inclined posture P1 is set to the usage state S2 and a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanger hooking part 3 in this usage state S2, a moving body 5 that moves in conjunction with this is provided on the support arm 1, and by the movement of this moving body 5, another hanger hooking part 3 adjacent to the inclined upper side of the support arm 1 from the hanger hooking part 3 to which the clothes hanger 2 is hung is switched from the stored state S1 to the usage state S2.

[0011] The sequential switching mechanism 4 is also configured such that, when a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanger hooking part 3 in the use state S2, the hanger hooking part 3 is put into a loaded state S3 in which the weight of the clothes hanger 2 is applied, and in conjunction with the load state S3, the moving body 5 moves so that another hanger hooking part 3 adjacent to the hanger hooking part 3 in the loaded state S3 on the inclined upper side of the support arm part 1 in the inclined posture P1 is switched from the stored state S1 to the use state S2.

[0012] Also, a clothes hanger A is provided, which comprises an attachment part 7 that can be attached to a vertical installation surface 6 such as a wall surface 6A, and the support arm part 1 provided on the attachment part 7, The support arm 1 is provided on the mounting portion 7 so as to be rotatable in the up and down direction, and is configured to be switchable between a storage position P2 in which the support arm 1 is provided along the vertical installation surface 6 and an inclined position P1 in which the support arm 1 is rotated downward from the storage position P2 with respect to the mounting portion 7 and protrudes obliquely from the vertical installation surface 6, The clothes hanger rack according to claim 1, characterized in that when the support arm 1 is switched from the storage position P2 to the inclined position P1, an initial switching mechanism 8 is provided which switches in conjunction with this the first hanger hook portion 3A, of the plurality of hanger hook portions 3, which is located on the inclined lower side of the support arm 1, from the storage state S1 to the use state S2.

[0013] The inclined posture P1 relates to the clothes hanger hook according to claim 6, characterized in that the inclination angle of the support arm 1 relative to the attachment part 7 is set so that when a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the support arm 1 at an inclined upper side of the hanger hook part 3 in the use state S2, the hung clothes hanger 2 slides along the support arm 1 by its own weight and is hung on the hanger hook part 3 in the use state S2. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] Since the present invention is configured as described above, the hanger hooking portion on the inclined lower side of the support arm installed in an inclined posture can be put into a usable state and a clothes hanger can be hung on this hanger hooking portion in the usable state, and when a clothes hanger is hung on this hanger hooking portion on the inclined lower side, the sequential switching mechanism switches another hanger hooking portion adjacent to the hanger hooking portion on the inclined upper side of the support arm from the hanger hooking portion on which the clothes hanger is hung from from the stored state to the usable state, so that a clothes hanger can be hung on the hanger hooking portion on the inclined upper side which has been put into the usable state in succession, and in the same way, by hanging a clothes hanger on the hanger hooking portion in the usable state, another hanger hooking portion adjacent to the hanger hooking portion on the inclined upper side of the support arm from the stored state to the usable state, Clothes hangers can be hung sequentially from the hanger hook portion on the diagonally lower side to the hanger hook portion on the diagonally upper side, and since the hanger hook portions before being switched by the sequential switching mechanism are in the stored state, when a clothes hanger is hung on the diagonally upper side of the support arm from the hanger hook portion switched to the used state, the clothes hanger does not get caught on the hanger hook portion in the stored state but slides along the support arm in the diagonal posture and is hung on the hanger hook portion in the used state, thereby switching another hanger hook portion adjacent on the diagonally upper side from the stored state to the used state, and in the same way, clothes hangers can be hung on multiple hanger hook portions by simply sliding the clothes hangers along the support arm one after another, making this a very practical clothes hanger hook.

[0015] Furthermore, the invention of claim 2 provides a clothes hanger with a more practical structure that is equipped with the sequential switching mechanism that reliably exerts the above-mentioned functions and effects.

[0016] Furthermore, in the invention described in claim 3, the hanger hook portion, which can be switched between a storage state and a usage state, has a simple structure that can be easily designed and realized, resulting in a clothes hanger hook with an even more practical structure.

[0017] Furthermore, in the inventions described in claims 4 and 5, the sequential switching mechanism that reliably exerts the above-mentioned functions and effects is simplified in configuration, making it easy to design and realize, resulting in a clothes hanger with an even more practical configuration.

[0018] Furthermore, in the invention described in claim 6, the clothes hanger hook can be easily attached to a vertical installation surface such as a wall via the attachment part, and can be switched between an inclined position of the support arm when the clothes hanger hook is in use and a stored position of the support arm that is installed along the vertical installation surface and does not get in the way when not in use; and by switching the support arm from the stored position to the inclined position when the clothes hanger hook is in use, the first hanger hook part of the multiple hanger hook parts that is located on the inclined lower side of the support arm is switched from the stored state to the used state, so that the switching of the support arm to the inclined position and the subsequent clothes hanger hook operation can be easily performed as a series of actions, resulting in a clothes hanger hook with an even more practical configuration.

[0019] Furthermore, the invention of claim 7 provides a clothes hanger hook with an even more practical structure, in which clothes hangers can be reliably slid along the support arm portion one after another and hung on the hanger hook portion. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0021] The best mode for carrying out the present invention will now be briefly described with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrating the operation of the present invention.

[0022] The clothes hanger hook A of the present invention has a support arm 1 installed in an inclined position P1, and multiple hanger hanging sections 3 that can hang clothes hangers 2 at intervals along the arm length. These hanger hanging sections 3 are configured to be switchable between a stored state S1 in which clothes hangers 2 cannot be hung, and a use state S2 in which clothes hangers 2 can be hung. For example, when the clothes hanger hook A is not in use, all of the hanger hanging sections 3 can be kept in the stored state S1.

[0023] When a clothes hanger 2 is to be hung on the clothes hanger hook A of the present invention, the hanger hooking part 3 located on the inclined lower side of the support arm 1 installed in the inclined posture P1 is set to the usage state S2 and the clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanger hooking part 3 in this usage state S2, and then the sequential switching mechanism 4 switches another hanger hooking part 3 adjacent to the hanger hooking part 3 on the inclined upper side of the support arm 1 from the storage state S1 to the usage state S2, and the clothes hanger 2 can also be hung on the hanger hooking part 3 on the inclined upper side that has been set to this usage state S2.

[0024] When a clothes hanger 2 is also hung on the hanger hooking part 3 on the upper side of the incline that has been set to the use state S2, another hanger hooking part 3 adjacent to the hanger hooking part 3 on the upper side of the incline of the support arm 1 further than the hanger hooking part 3 on which the clothes hanger 2 is hung is switched from the storage state S1 to the use state S2 by the sequential switching mechanism 4, and a clothes hanger 2 can also be hung on the hanger hooking part 3 on the upper side of the incline that has been set to the use state S2.

[0025] Similarly, when a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanger hooking portion 3 that has been set to the use state S2, the sequential switching mechanism 4 switches the hanger hooking portion 3 adjacent to the hanger hooking portion 3 on the inclined upper side of the hanger hooking portion 3 on which the clothes hanger 2 is hung from the storage state S1 to the use state S2, and the clothes hanger 2 can also be hung on the hanger hooking portion 3 on the inclined upper side that has been set to the use state S2 (clothes hangers 2 can be hung on the multiple hanger hooking portions 3 in sequence, starting from the one on the inclined lower side of the support arm 1).

[0026] Furthermore, at this time, the hanger hooking portion 3 is in the storage state S1 until it is switched to the use state S2 by the sequential switching mechanism 4, so that, for example, if a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the inclined upper side of the support arm 1 from the hanger hooking portion 3 switched to the use state S2, the clothes hanger 2 will not get caught on the hanger hooking portion 3 in the storage state S1, but will slide along the support arm 1 in the inclined posture P1 and be hung on the hanger hooking portion 3 in the use state S2, and then another hanger hooking portion 3 adjacent on the inclined upper side will be switched from the storage state S1 to the use state S2, and then the clothes hanger 2 can be slid from the inclined upper side of the support arm 1 from the hanger hooking portion 3 in the use state S2 and hung on this hanger hooking portion 3, and in the same way, clothes hangers 2 can be hung on a plurality of hanger hooking portions 3 in sequence by the easy operation of sliding them one after another along the support arm 1. [Example]

[0027] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0028] The clothes hanger hook A of this embodiment comprises an attachment part 7 that can be attached to a wall surface 6A as a vertical installation surface 6 (hereinafter, in this embodiment, the vertical installation surface 6 will be referred to as the wall surface 6A) and the support arm part 1 provided on this attachment part 7, and this support arm part 1 is provided with a plurality of hanger hanging parts 3 that can hang clothes hangers 2 at intervals in the arm length direction.

[0029] The mounting portion 7 in this embodiment is composed of a fixed body 9 in the form of a vertically long rectangular bar that is fixedly mounted along the wall surface 6A, and a link body 10 that is a vertically long rectangular bar that is longer than the fixed body 9 and has its lower end pivotally attached near the lower end of the fixed body 9 so that it can tilt and rotate freely relative to the fixed body 9.

[0030] The support arm 1 in this embodiment is composed of a long, vertically elongated rectangular rod-shaped body that is approximately three times as long as the link body 10. The lower end of this support arm 1 is pivotally attached to the upper end of the fixed body 9, and a portion slightly above the lower end of this support arm 1 is pivotally attached to the upper end of the link body 10, and a link mechanism 16 is formed by this support arm 1, fixed body 9, and link body 10.

[0031] When the support arm 1 is tilted relative to the fixed body 9, the link body 10 also tilts relative to the fixed body 9 due to this link mechanism 16, and the support arm 1 is configured to be rotatable within a range from a position in which it is in line with the fixed body 9 as shown by the imaginary line in Fig. 2 (a storage position P2 in which the support arm 1 is installed along the wall surface 6A together with the fixed body 9) to an inclined position P1 in which the upper end is tilted downward by about 40 degrees relative to the wall surface 6A while facing upward. By setting the inclination angle of the inclined position P1 of the support arm 1 in this way, when a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the support arm 1, the hung clothes hanger 2 will slide downward along the support arm 1 due to its own weight.

[0032] The link body 10 is also provided with a rotation switch-over type positioning switch 11 that positions the rotational position of the link body 10 relative to the fixed body 9. This positioning switch 11 is configured so that by rotating it in one direction, it can lock the rotational movement of the link body 10 relative to the fixed body 9, and by rotating it in the other direction, it can make the link body 10 rotatable relative to the fixed body 9. By operating this positioning switch 11, it is possible to position the support arm 1 in the storage position P2 or in a rotational position between the storage position P2 and the inclined position P1 (for example, a rotational position inclined downward by about 10 degrees with respect to the wall surface 6A).

[0033] The support arm 1 is provided with the hanger hooking portions 3 at four locations at equal intervals along the arm length, closer to the tip side than the pivotal attachment position with the link body 10, and the hanger hooking portions 3 are configured to be switchable between a storage state S1 in which a clothes hanger 2 cannot be hung, and a use state S2 in which a clothes hanger 2 can be hung.

[0034] Specifically, the hanger hooking portion 3 is composed of a shaft portion 17, a hooking piece 18 protruding outward from this shaft portion 17, and a pressing protrusion 19 that is smaller than the hooking piece 18 and protrudes from the shaft portion 17 in the opposite direction to the hooking piece 18, and this hanger hooking portion 3 is supported rotatably and embedded within the support arm portion 1 via the shaft portion 17.

[0035] In addition, this hanger hooking portion 3 is rotatably supported on the support arm 1 so that the hook piece 18 is located closer to the tip of the support arm 1 than the shaft portion 17 (the upper side when the support arm 1 is in the inclined position P1 and the stored position P2), and is arranged so that it is exposed on the upper surface of the support arm 1 when in the inclined position P1 (the surface of the support arm 1 that is located along the wall surface 6A when the support arm 1 is in the stored position P2).

[0036] Furthermore, this hanger hooking portion 3 is configured to be able to rotate downwards to a state where the hooking piece 18 is flush with the upper surface of the support arm 1 in the inclined position P1 or at a position lower than the upper surface of the support arm 1, and this hanger hooking portion 3 in this downward rotation limit is configured as the stored state S1, and a state where the hanger hooking portion 3 is rotated from this stored state S1 away from the upper surface of the support arm 1 in the inclined position P1 so that the hooking piece 18 protrudes from the upper surface of the support arm 1 is configured as the usage state S2.

[0037] This embodiment is provided with an initial switching mechanism 8 which, when the support arm 1 is switched from the storage position P2 to the inclined position P1, switches in conjunction with this the first hanger hook portion 3A, of the multiple hanger hook portions 3, which is located on the inclined lower side of the support arm 1, from the storage state S1 to the use state S2.

[0038] The initial action switching mechanism 8 will be explained. A belt-shaped initial action body 20 movable along the arm length direction of the support arm 1 is installed at a position between the pivotal attachment position of the support arm 1 with the upper end of the link body 10 and the hanger hooking portion 3 (first hanger hooking portion 3A) located at the most downward tilting side of the support arm 1 in the tilted posture P1, and at a position below the shaft portion 17 when the support arm 1 is in the tilted posture P1. A trigger protrusion 21 is protruded from the upper end of the link body 10, and when the support arm 1 is in the tilted posture P1, the upper end of the link body 10 which tilts together with the support arm 1 is moved. The trigger protrusion 21 at the end comes into contact with the inclined lower end of the initial moving body 20, causing the initial moving body 20 to move inclined upward, and the inclined upper end of this moving initial moving body 20 presses the pressing protrusion 19 of the hanger hook part 3 (first hanger hook part 3A) located at the base end side of the support arm 1, causing the first hanger hook part 3A to rotate, and as a result, the hook piece 18 of the first hanger hook part 3A protrudes from the upper surface of the support arm 1 when it is in the inclined position P1, and this first hanger hook part 3A is configured to be in the use state S2. In the figure, the symbol 22 denotes a support member that supports the initial moving body 20, the moving bodies 5 (first moving body 5A, second moving body 5B, third moving body 5C, fourth moving body 5D) described later, and the storage and holding moving body 23 described later so that they can slide freely along the arm length direction within the support arm 1, and the initial moving body 20, the moving bodies 5, and the storage and holding moving body 23 are formed with guide long holes 24 into which this support member 22 is inserted.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the hanger hooking part 3 located on the inclined lower side of the support arm 1 installed in the inclined posture P1 is set to the usage state S2 and a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanger hooking part 3 in this usage state S2, another hanger hooking part 3 adjacent to the hanger hooking part 3 on the inclined upper side of the support arm 1 from the storage state S1 to the usage state S2 is provided with a sequential switching mechanism 4.

[0040] To explain this sequential switching mechanism 4, when the hanger hooking part 3 located on the inclined lower side of the support arm 1 in the inclined posture P1 is set to the usage state S2 and a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanger hooking part 3 in this usage state S2, a moving body 5 that moves in conjunction with this is provided on the support arm 1, and the movement of this moving body 5 switches another hanger hooking part 3 adjacent to the inclined upper side of the support arm 1 from the hanger hooking part 3 to which the clothes hanger 2 is hung from the storage state S1 to the usage state S2.

[0041] Furthermore, when a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanger hooking part 3 (the hooking piece 18) in the use state S2, the hanger hooking part 3 (the hooking piece 18) is configured to be in a loaded state S3 in which it rotates further in a direction approaching the attachment part 7 due to the load of the clothes hanger 2 being applied, and the movable body 5 moves in conjunction with this loaded state S3, so that another hanger hooking part 3 adjacent to the hanger hooking part 3 in the loaded state S3 on the inclined upper side of the support arm part 1 in the inclined attitude P1 is switched from the stored state S1 to the use state S2. In a broad sense, the loaded state S3 is also used to mean that it is included in the use state S2.

[0042] More specifically, a belt-shaped movable body 5 (first movable body 5A) movable along the arm length direction of the support arm 1 is installed in the support arm 1 at a position between the hanger hook portion 3 (first hanger hook portion 3A) located at the lowest inclination side of the support arm 1 in the inclined posture P1 and the hanger hook portion 3 (second hanger hook portion 3B) adjacent to the first hanger hook portion 3A on the upper inclination side, and at a position below the shaft portions 17 of both the first and second hanger hook portions 3A and 3B.

[0043] In addition, a belt-shaped movable body 5 (first movable body 5B) movable along the arm length direction of the support arm 1 is also installed in the support arm 1 at a position between the second hanger hook portion 3B and the hanger hook portion 3 (third hanger hook portion 3C) adjacent to the second hanger hook portion 3B on the inclined upper side, and below the shaft portions 17 of both the second and third hanger hook portions 3B, 3C.In addition, a belt-shaped movable body 5 (first movable body 5C) movable along the arm length direction of the support arm 1 is also installed in the support arm 1 at a position between the third hanger hook portion 3C and the hanger hook portion 3 (fourth hanger hook portion 3D) adjacent to the third hanger hook portion 3C on the inclined upper side, and below the shaft portions 17 of both the third and fourth hanger hook portions 3C, 3D.

[0044] When the support arm 1 is set to the inclined posture P1, the first hanger hooking portion 3A located at the lowermost side of the support arm 1 is switched to the use state S2 by the initial action switching mechanism 8 (see FIG. 2). When a clothes hanger 2 is hooked on the first hanger hooking portion 3A in this use state S2 (when the first hanger hooking portion 3A in the use state S2 is in the loaded state S3), the pressing convex portion 19 of this first hanger hooking portion 3A pushes and moves the first moving body 5A, and the pressing convex portion 19 of the second hanger hooking portion 3B adjacent to it on the upper side of the incline is pushed by the moving first moving body 5A, and this second hanger hooking portion 3B is switched from the stored state S1 to the use state S2 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). When a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the second hanger hooking portion 3B which has reached the usage state S2, the pressing convex portion 19 of this second hanger hooking portion 5B pushes and moves the second movable body 5B, and the third hanger hooking portion 3C adjacent to it on the upper inclined side is switched from the storage state S1 to the usage state S2 by this moving second movable body 5B (see Figures 7 and 8), and when a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the third hanger hooking portion 3C which has reached the usage state S2, the pressing convex portion 19 of this third hanger hooking portion 5C pushes and moves the third movable body 5C, and the fourth hanger hooking portion 3D adjacent to it on the upper inclined side is switched from the storage state S1 to the usage state S2 by this moving third movable body 5C.

[0045] In the drawing, reference numeral 23 denotes a storage and holding movable body that is installed in the support arm 1 on the inclined upper side of the fourth hanger hook portion 3D so as to be movable along the arm length direction. This storage and holding movable body 23 is provided so as to be slidable along the arm length direction of the support arm 1 by a support member 22, similar to the movable body 5 and the initial moving body 20, and moves downward by its own weight in both the inclined position P1 and the stored position P2 of the support arm 1, and comes into contact with the pressing protrusion 19 to rotate the fourth hanger hook portion 3D downward, thereby maintaining the stored state S1. When the first movable body 5A, the second movable body 5B, and the third movable body 5C are not forced to move inclined upward by the sequential switching mechanism 4, they move downward by their own weight in the same manner as the storing and holding movable body 23, and come into contact with the pressing protrusions 19 to maintain the first hanger hook portion 3A, the second hanger hook portion 3B, and the third hanger hook portion 3C in the stored state S1. That is, when the support arm 1 is in the stored position P2, all the hanger hook portions 3 are in the stored state S1, and when the support arm 1 is switched from the stored position P2 to the inclined position P1, only the first hanger hook portion 3A located at the lowermost side of the inclination is set to the use state S2 by the initial action switching mechanism 8, and the other hanger hook portions 3 are set to the stored state S1.

[0046] Further, to explain the hanger hooking portion 3 further, the hanger hooking piece 18 is configured to be able to rotate at a maximum of about 45 degrees with respect to the upper surface of the support arm portion 1 in the inclined posture P1 (even if the hanger hooking portion 3 tries to rotate further than this, the pressing protrusion 19 of the hanger hooking portion 3 comes into contact with the moving body 5 located on the inclined upper side of the hanger hooking portion 3, so that the movement of the moving body 5 to the inclined upper side is restricted). The hanger hooking portion 3 that is in this rotation limit is configured to be in the loaded state S3. When the first hook portion 3A is rotated by being pushed by the initial moving body 20 of the initial action switching mechanism 8, and when the second hook portion 3B, the third hook portion 3C, and the fourth hook portion 3D are rotated by being pushed by the first moving body 5A, the second moving body 5B, and the third moving body 5C of the sequential switching mechanism 4, the hook piece 18 rotates by about 30 degrees relative to the upper surface of the support arm portion 1 in the inclined posture P1, and the hanger hook portion 3 in the middle of this rotation is configured to be in the use state S2.

[0047] When the clothes hanger 2 is hung on the hanging piece 18 in this use state S2, the load of the clothes hanger 2 causes the hanger hanging part 3 to rotate further and reach the loaded state S3. The hanger hanging part 3 in the use state S2 does not reach the point where the pressing convex part 19 presses the moving body 5, and the sequential switching mechanism 4 is set and configured so that when the use state S2 changes to the loaded state S3, the pressing convex part 19 presses the moving body 5.

[0048] Therefore, when using the clothes hanger hook A, when the support arm 1 is switched to the inclined position P1, only the first hanger hooking portion 3A located at the lowermost side of the inclination is in the use state S2, and the other hanger hooking portions 3 located above it are in the storage state S1 (see Figure 2). Therefore, when a clothes hanger 2 is hung on the inclined upper side of the support arm 1 from the first hanger hooking portion 3A switched to the use state S2, the clothes hanger 2 slides along the support arm 1 in the inclined position P1 (see Figures 3 and 4) without getting caught on the other hanger hooking portions 3 in the storage state S1, and is hooked on the first hanger hooking portion 3A in the use state S2. The load of the clothes hanger 2 causes the first hanger hooking portion 3A to enter the loaded state S3, and the adjacent second hanger hooking portion 3B on the upper side of the incline is switched from the stored state S1 to the used state S2 (see Figures 5 and 6).The clothes hanger 2 can then be slid along the support arm 1 and hung on the second hanger hooking portion 3B in the used state S2.In the same way, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the clothes hangers 2 can be slid one after another along the support arm 1 and hung on the multiple hanger hooking portions 3 in order, starting from the one on the lower side of the incline.As shown in Figure 1, clothes hangers 2 can be easily hung on all the hanger hooking portions 3.
