[0001] The present disclosure relates to a hanger pipe and a storage system including the hanger pipe.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1, a washing machine room for installing a washing machine and a drying room for drying laundry are continuously provided so that a series of operations from taking out the laundry from the washing machine to drying can be continuously performed. However, after drying, there is a problem that the clothes dried in the drying room have to be removed and carried to a storage space in a separate room and stored, which takes time and effort.

[0003] Generally, in addition to storage shelves, a hanger pole is installed in the storage space, and clothes hung on hangers are often suspended and stored. The hanger pole is generally a cylindrical long member, and the intervals between the suspended hangers are not constant, and the gaps between the clothes hung on the hangers tend to be narrow, making it difficult to ensure ventilation. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a hanger bar formed by spirally forming a single concave groove for the purpose of reducing the depth dimension of the clothes dance, and it is proposed to suspend the hangers obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the hanger bar.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] A hanger pipe and a storage system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0018] (Hanger Pipe) FIG. 1 is a front view showing a schematic configuration of a hanger pipe 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a partially enlarged view of the hanger pipe main body 10.

[0019] For storing and preserving clothes, various storage facilities are usually used, such as furniture such as closets and wardrobes, and elaborate storage such as walk-in closets. The hanger pipe 1 according to the embodiment can be provided in such storage facilities, for example, and can be used to hang hangers for hanging clothes.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the hanger pipe 1 includes side plates 2 as a support and a hanger pipe main body 10. The hanger pipe main body 10 is a long member that is long in the axial direction X and is disposed between a pair of side plates 2 as a support.

[0021] The pair of side plates 2 are provided so as to face each other with a gap in the axial direction X of the hanger pipe main body 10. For example, the side plates 2 are members that form a part of the storage facility and are erected on the floor surface or attached to the wall surface.

[0022] The hanger pipe main body 10 is rotatably supported with respect to the side plates 2. For example, the hanger pipe main body 10 is connected to a rotation mechanism (not shown) and is rotatable about its axis. The hanger pipe main body 10 may be rotatable with its first end 101, which is one end, connected to the rotation mechanism, or may be rotatable with its second end 102, which is the other end, connected to the rotation mechanism.

[0023] The hanger pipe body 10 has a feeding mechanism that moves the suspended hanger 3 in the axial direction X. This feeding mechanism allows the suspended hanger 3 to be moved along the axial direction X of the hanger pipe body 10, with the direction of travel D being from the second end 102 to the first end 101. In this embodiment, the hanger pipe body 10 is provided with a sawtooth screw portion 11 as the feeding mechanism.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the sawtooth thread portion 11 has a rear flank 12, which is the flank on the rear side in the direction of travel D, which is less pronounced than the front flank 13, which is the flank on the front side in the direction of travel D, and is a male thread with a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape.

[0025] More specifically, the sawtooth threaded portion 11 is configured such that the flank angle of the front flank 13 is smaller than the flank angle α of the rear flank 12. For example, the flank angle of the front flank 13 is preferably 0 to 20 degrees. More preferably, as shown in Figure 2, the flank angle of the front flank 13 is 0 degrees. The flank angle α of the rear flank 12 is preferably 70 to 90 degrees.

[0026] Generally, hangers used for storing clothes have a hook at the upper end for hanging. Considering the size of such hangers, for example, the pitch P of the sawtooth screw portion 11 is preferably 30 mm or more and 1500 mm or less, and more preferably 30 mm or more and 40 mm or less. Also, the outer diameter R1 of the sawtooth screw portion 11 is preferably 40 mm or less, and the root diameter R2 is preferably 36 mm or less. Regarding the outer diameter R1 and root diameter R2 of the sawtooth screw portion 11, 1 / 2(R1-R2)≦2mm It is preferable that this be the case.

[0027] In the hanger pipe 1 configured in this way, the hanger 3 and the clothes hung on the hanger 3 are suspended in a direction in which their width direction (shoulder width direction) intersects with the axial direction X of the hanger pipe body 10. As the hanger 3 is suspended from the sawtooth screw portion 11, the hanger 3 is moved in the direction of travel D as the hanger pipe body 10 rotates around its axis.

[0028] For example, consider a situation where multiple hangers 3 with clothes on them are suspended from the hanger pipe body 10, as shown in Figure 1. The rotation direction of the hanger pipe body 10 is counterclockwise when viewed from the first end 101 side in the axial direction X. The hangers 3 are suspended randomly from the hanger pipe body 10, and each hanger 3 is positioned on the rear flank 12.

[0029] Figures 3 to 5 are explanatory diagrams showing the rotating hanger pipe body 10 and the suspended hanger 3. Figures 6 to 8 are explanatory diagrams showing the hanger pipe body 10 and the hook portion 31 of the hanger 3 as viewed from the first end 101 side in the axial direction X. In Figures 6 to 8, the hanger pipe body 10 is shown as a solid structure to make the shape of the sawtooth screw portion 11 easier to see, but it is not limited to a solid structure and may have a hollow portion.

[0030] As shown in Figure 3, when the hanger pipe body 10 rotates in the rotational direction C, the suspended hanger 3 is moved in the direction of travel D by the sawtooth screw portion 11. At this time, the hook portion 31 of the hanger 3 slides on the gently sloping rear flank 12 of the sawtooth screw portion 11, engaging with the front flank 13, and is moved in the direction of travel D along with the rotation of the hanger pipe body 10.

[0031] Next, as shown in Figure 4, the leading hanger 3A in the direction of travel D is moved in the direction of travel D by the rotation of the hanger pipe body 10, and as a result, the hanger 3A or the garment hung on the hanger 3A comes into contact with the side plate 2, preventing it from moving any further and causing it to stop. The second hanger 3B from the front is also moved in the direction of travel D and comes into contact with the leading hanger 3A. The second hanger 3B is positioned on the rear flank 12, which is common to the leading hanger 3A, at the sawtooth screw portion 11.

[0032] Furthermore, both the leading hanger 3A and the second hanger 3B are located in front of the same front flank 13. Referring to Figure 6, the second hanger 3B is located in front of its front flank 13, on the same rear flank 12 as the leading hanger 3A.

[0033] The second hanger 3B is pushed back in the opposite direction of travel D by the reaction force when the garment hung on it collides with the garment hung on the first hanger 3A. In addition, as shown in Figure 7, the rotation of the hanger pipe body 10 causes the front flank 13 of the rotating sawtooth screw portion 11 to enter the inside of the hook portion 31 of the second hanger 3B. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, the hook portion 31 of hanger 3B rides up onto the front flank 13.

[0034] Next, as shown in Figure 5, the second hanger 3B moves onto the rear flank 12, which is behind the leading hanger 3A. On the hanger pipe body 10, the second hanger 3B is positioned spaced apart from the leading hanger 3A, creating a gap between the two hangers 3A and 3B.

[0035] Similarly, hangers 3 from the third one onwards, even if they come into contact with the hanger 3 in front, move in the opposite direction of travel D due to the action of the clothing on that hanger 3 and the serrated screw portion 11, and are positioned with a gap between them and the hanger 3 in front. As a result, one hook portion 31 of a hanger 3 is positioned for each rear flank 12 on the hanger pipe body 10. Consequently, the multiple hangers 3 sent in the direction of travel D are aligned in order from the hanger 3 (3A) that reaches the vicinity of the first end portion 101 supported by the side plate 2, with one hanger per pitch (P) of the serrated screw portion 11.

[0036] As described above, the sawtooth screw portion 11, with a flank angle of 0 degrees on the front flank 13, can support the load from the hanger 3 acting in the opposite direction to the direction of travel D with greater strength, efficiently moving the hanger 3 in the direction of travel D and effectively aligning the hanger 3. Furthermore, the sawtooth screw portion 11, with its pitch P set as described above, allows for even distribution of hangers 3 with clothes on them, while maintaining gaps between them for alignment. In addition, the sawtooth screw portion 11, with a ratio of 1 / 2(R1-R2) ≤ 2 mm, allows the hook portion 31 of the hanger 3 to smoothly ride onto the front flank 13.

[0037] As a result, in a storage facility equipped with a hanger pipe 1, simply by rotating the hanger pipe body 10, the hangers 3 on which clothes are hung can be easily and effortlessly organized, ensuring spacing between the hangers 3 and good ventilation. Since the multiple hangers 3 are arranged in order from the first end 101 side, space for hanging new hangers 3 can be easily created.

[0038] The hanger pipe body 10 may be configured such that at least one end in the axial direction X is supported by the side plate 2, which acts as a support, and is rotatable. As shown in Figure 9, it may also be configured to be cantilevered to the side plate 2. In this case as well, the feed mechanism including the sawtooth screw portion 11 allows the suspended hanger 3 to be moved in the direction of travel D, with the direction toward the first end 101 being the direction of travel D, and the hangers 3 can be aligned in order from the first end 101 side.

[0039] Furthermore, the hanger pipe 1 according to this embodiment can be used not only for storing clothing, but also for various other purposes such as displaying, exhibiting, and storing items that can be hung on the hanger 3.

[0040] (Storage system) Figure 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a storage system 100 using the hanger pipe 1 of this disclosure, and Figure 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating the operation of the hanger 3 relative to the hanger pipe body 10.

[0041] As shown in Figure 10, the storage system 100 according to this embodiment comprises a storage room 4 and a drying room 5 which is an adjacent room to the storage room 4. The storage room 4 is capable of storing at least clothes hung on hangers 3. The drying room 5 allows clothes to be dried indoors while still hanging on hangers 3 after washing. The drying room 5 may be equipped with, for example, a washing machine. The storage room 4 and the drying room 5 are connected via a connecting section 51.

[0042] A hanger pipe 1 is provided spanning both the storage chamber 4 and the drying chamber 5. The hanger pipe body 10 is continuously arranged in both the storage chamber 4 and the drying chamber 5 through a connecting section 51. The first end 101 of the hanger pipe body 10 is rotatably supported by the side plate 2 that constitutes the storage chamber 4, and the second end 102 is connected to the rotating mechanism 7.

[0043] In this case, the hanger pipe body 10 is composed of a storage room side pipe section 103 located within the storage room 4 and an adjacent room side pipe section 104 located within the drying room 5. The first end 101 of the hanger pipe body 10 is the end of the storage room side pipe section 103 and is located within the storage room 4, while the second end 102 is the end of the adjacent room side pipe section 104 and is located within the drying room 5. Multiple hangers 3 on which clothes are hung are suspended from the hanger pipe body 10.

[0044] The hanger pipe body 10 is equipped with a feeding mechanism that moves the suspended hanger 3 in the axial direction X, with the direction toward the first end 101 being the direction of travel D. The feeding mechanism is provided with a sawtooth screw section 11. The sawtooth screw section 11 is provided along the entire length of the storage chamber side pipe section 103.

[0045] The adjacent room side pipe section 104 has a sawtooth threaded section 11 that extends continuously from the storage room side pipe section 103 to a portion of the first end 101 side. In the adjacent room side pipe section 104 and the storage room side pipe section 103, in the regions having the sawtooth threaded section 11, the suspended hangers 3 can be moved in the direction of travel D by the rotation of the hanger pipe body 10 and aligned sequentially as they reach the side plate 2 of the storage room 4.

[0046] As shown in Figure 10, in the adjacent room side pipe section 104, the sawtooth threaded portion 11 only needs to be provided in a part of the first end 101 side. In the adjacent room side pipe section 104, a cylindrical straight pipe section 15 without the sawtooth threaded portion 11 may be provided in most of the area on the second end 102 side, excluding the first end 101 side.

[0047] The hanger pipe 1 in the storage system 100 is further equipped with a transport body 6 as a feeding mechanism, which has a plurality of locking parts 62 from which hangers 3 can be suspended. The transport body 6 is arranged in parallel with the pipe section 104 on the adjacent room side. The transport body 6 is equipped with an endless circumferential member 61 that is supported so as to be movable in the axial direction X, and hook-shaped locking parts 62 are arranged at equal intervals on the outer circumference of the circumferential member 61. The tip of each locking part 62 is bent into an arc shape so as to be able to hook the hook part 31 of the hanger 3.

[0048] The circumferential member 61 is an annular belt or rail, mounted on the rotating drive member 63 and driven member 64, and is configured to move circumferentially in the axial direction X as the drive member 63 rotates. The drive member 63 is located on the second end 102 side of the hanger pipe body 10, and the driven member 64 is located on the first end 101 side (communication section 51 side).

[0049] The circumferential member 61 is positioned above the adjacent room side pipe section 104 of the hanger pipe body 10. The locking section 62 is provided between the adjacent room side pipe section 104 and the circumferential member 61 such that the opening direction of the hook is opposite to the direction of travel D.

[0050] The driving member 63 and the driven member 64 are rotatable together with the circumferential member 61 and may be composed of rotatable rollers or of gear teeth that mesh with the circumferential member 61. The driving member 63 is connected, for example, to a rotating mechanism 7 to impart rotational force to the circumferential member 61. The driven member 64 rotates in a driven direction. The circumferential member 61 is configured such that its lower side rotates (circulates) in the direction of travel D from the driving member 63 toward the driven member 64, then reverses around the driven member 64, and its upper side rotates (circulates) in the direction opposite to the direction of travel D.

[0051] The rotating mechanism 7 may be configured to include, for example, multiple gears (e.g., bevel gears) and a rotatable handle, and to transmit rotational force from the handle operation to the feed mechanism. Alternatively, the rotating mechanism 7 may be configured to include a motor that generates the driving force to operate each of the feed mechanisms instead of a handle.

[0052] In this storage system 100, as shown in Figure 10, in the drying chamber 5, hangers 3 on which washed clothes are hung can be hooked onto the locking parts 62 between the circumferential member 61 and the pipe section 104 on the adjacent chamber side, allowing them to be dried indoors. After the clothes are dry, the rotation mechanism 7 is operated to rotate the hanger pipe body 10 around its axis and move the transport body 6 in a circular motion. As a result, the hangers 3 hooked onto the locking parts 62 of the circumferential member 61 move in the direction of travel D.

[0053] At one end of the transport body 6 positioned on the communication section 51 side, the orientation of the locking section 62 reverses during the circumferential movement of the circumferential member 61. As shown in Figure 11, the hanger 3, which was suspended from the locking section 62, falls from the locking section 62 and moves to the adjacent room side pipe section 104 located below it. Since the adjacent room side pipe section 104 is provided with a sawtooth screw section 11 on the first end 101 side, the hanger 3 falls from the locking section 62 and ends up suspended from the sawtooth screw section 11.

[0054] Since the hanger pipe body 10 rotates around its axis, the hanger 3 that has moved from the locking portion 62 is then sent in the direction of travel D by the sawtooth screw portion 11 and moves to the storage chamber 4. In the storage chamber side pipe portion 103, the suspended hangers 3 are also sent in the direction of travel D, making it possible to align them sequentially from the first end portion 101.

[0055] As described above, in the storage system 100 according to this embodiment, clothes dried in the drying chamber 5 can be moved to the storage chamber 4 very easily without any effort. In the drying chamber 5, hangers 3 can be hooked onto the locking parts 62 to dry clothes at equal intervals, and in the storage chamber 4, the serrated screw parts 11 can be used to ensure spacing between hangers 3, making it possible to hang hangers 3 while ensuring good ventilation in both chambers. In addition, in the storage chamber 4, multiple hangers 3 can be easily organized and hung with spacing between them, making it easy to take out hangers 3 and clothes, and to easily grasp the clothes that have been hung. Therefore, the effort required to store clothes can be significantly reduced.

[0056] In this disclosure, the hanger pipe 1 and storage system 100 are illustrated as examples of a configuration in which clothes are hung on hangers 3 for storage. However, the invention is not limited to this configuration, and the items that can be hung on hangers 3 are not limited to clothes. The shape of hangers 3 is also not limited to the aforementioned configuration; any shape of hanger having a hook portion 31 is acceptable. Furthermore, the adjacent room to the storage room 4 is not limited to a drying room 5; any room adjacent to the storage room 4 may be a living room or a non-living room.

[0057] This disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible without departing from the technical essence thereof. All technical matters included in the technical idea described in the claims are subject to this disclosure. The embodiments described above are preferred examples, but various modifications can be realized from the disclosed content, and such modifications are also included in the technical scope described in the claims.
