Clothes folding hanger

Abstract

To provide a hanger with a clothes folding function that assists the folding of clothes when removing the clothes from the hanger and reduces the labor required for storage. [Solution] The hanger body 1 is equipped with flexible shoulders 2, 3, and 4, and the shoulders fold inward when the user performs light manipulation (e.g., pushing or pulling), allowing the sleeves of the garment to fold naturally. Furthermore, when removing the hanger, the user supports the center of the garment with their arm or hand while removing the hanger, allowing the garment to be folded neatly. The hanger itself is also foldable, improving storage when not in use.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates not only to a folding mechanism of the hanger itself, but also to a hanger with a clothes folding function that enables the sleeves of clothes to be easily folded while the clothes are hung on the hanger. [Background technology]

[0002] For conventional clothes hangers, a folding mechanism for the hanger itself has been proposed, but no mechanism for folding the sleeves of the clothes while they are hanging has been considered. Therefore, when taking in or storing clothes, it is necessary to remove the clothes from the hanger and fold the sleeves individually by hand, which increases the burden on the user.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2013-078555 [Patent Document 1] Patent 7312932 Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems of the conventional hanger, the present invention aims to provide a hanger with a clothes folding function that has shoulder parts made of a flexible material extending to the left and right of the hanger body, and is configured so that when a user performs a light operation (for example, a light push or pull operation), the shoulder parts are folded inward, thereby allowing the sleeve parts to be naturally folded when the clothes are hung on the hanger, thereby making the work of folding clothes more efficient.

[0005] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and can be applied to various modified examples. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0006] In this embodiment, the hanger body 1 is molded using a highly rigid material such as ABS resin or other plastic material, and is structured to fully support the weight of the clothes. Meanwhile, the left and right shoulder parts 2 are molded using flexible silicone resin, elastic plastic, etc., and are connected to the hanger body 1 via a rotatable hinge part. The shoulder parts 2 are structured so that they can be easily folded inward by a light operation by the user, and this action functions to simply fold the sleeves of the clothes.

[0007] When the garment is hung on a hanger, the shoulders of the garment are stably supported by the body 1, shoulders 2, 3, and shoulders 4, and the sleeves hang naturally along the left and right shoulders 4. The user pushes or pulls the shoulders 3 as necessary to fold the shoulders 3 and 4 inward. This causes the sleeves to fold. Then, with the sleeves folded, the user can place their arm on the center of the garment and remove the hanger with the other hand, making it possible to easily fold the entire garment. The hinge provided between shoulder parts 3 and 4 is intended to make it easier to remove the hanger.

[0008] According to the present invention, the sleeves of the clothes can be folded simply and naturally by performing light manipulation on the left and right flexible shoulders while the clothes are hanging. In addition, when the clothes are removed, the clothes can be folded by the hanger, improving the efficiency of the storage work. Furthermore, the simple structure allows for reduced manufacturing costs, and a clothes folding hanger with excellent durability can be provided. [Brief description of the drawings]
