[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of a rug hanging device and a combination of a rug hanging device and a dimensional indicator according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] 1 to 9 show embodiments of a rug hanging device and a combination of a rug hanging device and a dimensional indicator according to the present disclosure.

[0016] First, referring to FIG. 5, the combination 1 of the rug hanging device and the dimension indicator will be described.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 5, a combination 1 of a rug hanging device and a dimension indicator comprises a rug hanging device 10 and a dimension indicator made up of a dimension indicator sheet 2.

[0018] Such a combination of rug hanging device and size indicator 1 is placed on the floor F of a storefront to display rugs 5 for customers to purchase.

[0019] Of these, the rug hanging device 10 hangs a plurality of rugs 5 and displays the rugs 5, as will be described later.

[0020] The size display sheet 2 is placed on the floor F near the rug hanging device 10 so that the customer can recognize the size of the rug 5 hung on the rug hanging device 10.

[0021] That is, the dimension display sheet 2 has a plurality of dimension display sections 2a, 2b, and 2c corresponding to a plurality of types of lugs 5.

[0022] In this embodiment, the size display section 2a of the size display sheet 2 displays, for example, a 3.0 tatami size of 200cm x 240cm. The size display section 2b displays, for example, a 2.2 tatami size of 185cm x 185cm. The size display section 2c displays, for example, a 1.5 tatami size of 130cm x 185cm.

[0023] A customer visiting the store looks at the size display tag of the rug 5 hanging from the rug hanging device 10 and checks the size display sections 2a, 2b, and 2c of the size display sheet 2 based on the size indicated on the size display tag. In this way, the customer can recognize and visualize the actual size of the rug 5 hanging from the rug hanging device 10 by looking at the size display sections 2a, 2b, and 2c of the size display sheet 2 before purchasing the rug 5. As described above, the size display sheet 2 has been described as an example of a size display material, but the size display material is not limited to the size display sheet 2. A size display material may also be made up of multiple frames drawn on the floor surface F using line tape or the like. In this case, each frame serves as a size display section corresponding to each of multiple types of rugs.

[0024] Next, the lug hanging device 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0025] Rug hanging device 10 is placed on floor surface F in a storefront and displays multiple rugs 5 by hanging them from it. Such rug hanging device 10 comprises support body 10A having horizontal body 11 placed on floor surface F and vertical body 12 connected to horizontal body 11 and extending vertically, and multiple rotating arms 20 attached to vertical body 12 of support body 10A for hanging multiple rugs 5.

[0026] Of these, the support 10A has the horizontal body 11 and the vertical body 12 as described above, and of these, the vertical body 12 includes an upper vertical body 13 and a lower vertical body 14.

[0027] 4, the lower vertical body 14 has a U-shaped outer frame 14a that is open downward when viewed from the front, and a reinforcing lateral bar 14b that extends horizontally (also called the lateral direction) is attached to the lower part of this outer frame 14a. The horizontal body 11 is connected to the lower end of the U-shaped outer frame 14a that is open downward.

[0028] 4, the upper vertical body 13 has a rectangular outer frame 13a connected to the outer frame 14a of the lower vertical body 14, and a pair of reinforcing horizontal bars 13b, 13b extending horizontally (also called the lateral direction) are attached to the upper and central parts of this outer frame 13a. Also, a reinforcing vertical bar 13c extending vertically (also called the longitudinal direction) is attached to the central part of the outer frame 13a.

[0029] A pair of support bars 16, 17 projecting toward the horizontal body 11 are provided at the upper and lower parts of the outer frame 14a of the lower vertical body 14, respectively.

[0030] Of the pair of support bars 16, 17, support bar 16 is provided at the top of the outer frame 14a of the lower vertical body 14, extending horizontally (also called the lateral direction), and support bar 17 is provided at the bottom of the outer frame 14a of the lower vertical body 14, extending horizontally (see Figure 4).

[0031] The pair of support bars 16, 17 protrude from the outer frame 14a toward the horizontal body 11 and rotatably support a plurality of rotary arms 20 that suspend the lugs 5.

[0032] 1 and 3, horizontal body 11 has a base 11a connected to the lower end of a U-shaped outer frame 14a of lower vertical body 14, and an outer frame 11b connected to base 11a and also U-shaped in plan view, with a reinforcing central bar 11c attached to the center of outer frame 11b. Reinforcing inclined bars 11d are attached between both ends of base 11a and outer frame 11b.

[0033] Next, the rotating arms 20 that suspend the lug 5 will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a plurality of, for example eleven, rotating arms 20 are attached to a support 10A having a horizontal body 11 and a vertical body 12 so as to be rotatable horizontally.

[0034] Each of the rotating arms 20 has approximately the same shape. Each rotating arm 20 has a horizontal arm 21 that suspends the lug 5, an inclined arm 22 that extends downward at an angle from the tip of the horizontal arm 21, and a vertical arm 23 that extends vertically between the base ends of the horizontal arm 21 and inclined arm 22.

[0035] Furthermore, a protruding portion 25 that protrudes from the vertical arm 23 toward the support body 10A is formed at the base end of the horizontal arm 21, and a rotating shaft 25a extending downward is attached to this protruding portion 25. Furthermore, a fixed portion 26 that protrudes toward the support body 10A is provided at the lower end of the vertical arm 23, and a rotating shaft 26a extending downward is attached to this fixed portion 26.

[0036] On the other hand, the lower vertical body 14 of the support body 10A is provided with a support bar (upper support bar) 16 at the top of the outer frame 14a as described above, and a support bar (lower support bar) 17 at the bottom of the outer frame 14a. A plurality of openings 16a are formed in the support bar 16, and a plurality of openings 17a are formed in the support bar 17 (see Figures 7, 8, and 9).

[0037] Then, the pivot shaft 25a of the protrusion 25 formed on the horizontal arm 21 of the pivot arm 20 is fitted into the opening 16a of the support bar 16, and the pivot shaft 26a of the fixed portion 26 provided at the lower end of the vertical arm 23 is fitted into the opening 17a of the support bar 17.

[0038] In this case, a retaining nut 30 is attached to the lower end of the rotating shaft 25a fitted into the opening 16a of the support bar 16 to prevent the rotating shaft 25a from coming off. Also, a retaining nut 30 is attached to the lower end of the rotating shaft 26a fitted into the opening 17a of the support bar 17 to prevent the rotating shaft 26a from coming off (see Figures 7, 8 and 9).

[0039] This allows each of the rotary arms 20 to be attached to the support 10A via the rotary shafts 25a and 26a so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction.

[0040] As described above, the lower vertical body 14 of the support body 10A has a U-shaped outer frame 14a that is open downward when viewed from the front, and the horizontal body 11 is connected to the lower end of the U-shaped outer frame 14a. In this case, a vertical bar 14c extending vertically in the center of the outer frame 14a is provided between the upper end of the outer frame 14a of the lower vertical body 14 and the horizontal body 11, and this vertical bar 14c reinforces the outer frame 14a.

[0041] In this embodiment, "upper", "upper part", "lower", and "lower part" refer to "upper", "upper part", "lower", and "lower part" when the rug hanging device 10 is installed in the state shown in Figure 1.

[0042] Next, the operation of this embodiment having such a configuration will be described.

[0043] First, various types of rugs 5 are hung from a plurality of pivot arms 20 of a rug hanging device 10 installed on the floor F of the storefront.

[0044] A size display sheet 2 is laid on the floor surface F on the side of the rotating arm 20 of the rug hanging device 10 (see FIG. 5).

[0045] A customer who comes to the store to purchase rugs 5 hung on the rug hanging device 10 looks at each rug 5 hung on the rug hanging device 10 one by one.

[0046] In this case, a customer who focuses on a particular lug 5A uses the particular pivot arm 20A from which that lug 5A is suspended as a reference and rotates the adjacent pivot arm 20B horizontally to the left in Figure 5 via the pivot axes 25a and 26a so that the particular lug 5A suspended from this particular pivot arm 20A is exposed to the outside.

[0047] In this case, the specific pivot arm 20A may be rotated horizontally to the right in FIG. 5 via the pivot axes 25a and 26a together with the remaining pivot arms 20, and the adjacent pivot arm 20B may be further rotated horizontally to the left in FIG. 5 via the pivot axes 25a and 26a together with the remaining pivot arms 20, thereby exposing the specific lug 5A largely outward.

[0048] In this way, after the specific lug 5A suspended from the specific pivot arm 20A is exposed to the outside, the customer sees the specific lug 5A and the dimension indication tag that indicates the dimensions attached to the specific lug 5A.

[0049] Next, based on the dimensions indicated on the dimension indication tag, the customer checks dimension indication sections 2a, 2b, and 2c of dimension indication sheet 2. In this way, the customer can recognize the actual dimensions of the specific rug 5A hung from rug hanging device 10 from dimension indication sections 2a, 2b, and 2c of dimension indication sheet 2, and can recognize and visualize the actual dimensions of the specific rug 5A before purchasing it and installing it in their home.

[0050] This prevents a customer from purchasing a rug 5A with dimensions different from what he or she expected, and then realizing after bringing the rug home that he or she has mistakenly purchased a rug 5A with dimensions different from what he or she expected.

[0051] As described above, according to this embodiment, when a customer focuses on a specific lug 5A in the combination 1 of the rug hanging device and dimension display installed in a storefront, the specific pivot arm 20A from which the specific lug 5A is hung is used as a reference and the adjacent pivot arm 20B is rotated via the pivot shafts 25a and 26a (see FIG. 5). This exposes the specific lug 5A hung from the specific pivot arm 20A to the outside, allowing the customer to check the specific lug 5A.

[0052] In addition, the customer can check the dimension display sections 2a, 2b, and 2c of the dimension display sheet 2 based on the dimensions of the specific lug 5A shown on the dimension display tag hung from the specific lug 5A, and can recognize and imagine the actual dimensions of the specific lug 5A from the dimension display sections 2a, 2b, and 2c of the dimension display sheet 2.

[0053] Each rotating arm 20 has a horizontal arm 21 from which the lug 5 is suspended, an inclined arm 22, and a vertical arm 23, and is configured as a ring as a whole. Therefore, the load applied from the lug 5 to the horizontal arm 21 can be supported by the entire rotating arm 20, which is configured as a ring as a whole, and the load from the lug 5 can be firmly supported by the entire rotating arm 20. Therefore, even if a lug 5, which has a large gravitational force, is suspended from the horizontal arm 21 of the rotating arm 20, the horizontal arm 21 alone will not be distorted or deformed.

[0054] The rotating arm 20 from which the lug 5 is suspended is attached via rotating shafts 25a and 26a to a pair of support bars 16 and 17 that are provided on the lower vertical body 14 of the support body 10A and extend laterally. In this case, the rotating shaft 25a is attached to a protruding portion 25 of the horizontal arm 21 of the rotating arm 20, and the rotating shaft 26a is attached to a fixing portion 26 that is provided on the vertical arm 23 of the rotating arm 20.

[0055] In this way, the rotation shafts 25a, 26a provided on each rotation arm 20 are provided at two positions, one above and one below, in the vertical direction (longitudinal direction) along the vertical arm 23. As a result, the load applied to the rotation arm 20 from the lug 5 can be transmitted to the support bar 16 and the support bar 17 by the rotation shafts 25a, 26a provided at the two positions, one above and one below. Therefore, when a load is applied to the rotation arm 20 from the lug 5, the load is not concentrated on a specific rotation shaft, and the rotation arm 20 can be smoothly rotated in the horizontal direction via the rotation shafts 25a, 26a provided at the two positions, one above and one below.

[0056] Furthermore, the load applied to the pivot arm 20 from which the lug 5 is suspended is transmitted from the support bars 16 and 17 to the lower vertical body 14 via the pivot shafts 25a and 26a as described above.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lower vertical body 14 is connected at its lower end to the horizontal body 11 placed on the floor F. As a result, when a load is applied to the lower vertical body 14 of the vertical body 12 from the rotating arm 20 from which the lug 5 is suspended, the horizontal body 11 can firmly absorb the moment acting on the lower vertical body 14. Therefore, even when the lug 5 is suspended from the rotating arm 20, the lower vertical body 14 will not tilt or tip over. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3 , when the multiple rotating arms are arranged perpendicular to the vertical body in a plan view, the horizontal body fits within the area where the multiple rotating arms are arranged. In this way, because the horizontal body fits within the area where the multiple rotating arms are arranged in a plan view, the possibility of customers tripping over the horizontal body 11 can be minimized.
