Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a hanger. [Background technology]

[0002] Hard plastic hangers are widely used for displaying and selling clothing such as jackets, trousers, and underwear, as well as for storing clothing in dry cleaners and homes. In addition, hotels and inns sometimes provide hard plastic or wooden hangers in the closets in the rooms for guests to use (see Patent Documents 1 and 2 below).

[0003] Because hangers made from rigid plastic are formed by creating a mold and injection molding, many of them are thick and have a structure that makes them difficult to fold or disassemble, resulting in problems with storage and transportation.

[0004] On the other hand, in recent years, issues such as marine pollution caused by microplastics have attracted attention, and the global movement towards de-plasticization is progressing from an environmental protection standpoint. In Japan, the "Act on Promotion of Resource Recycling Related to Plastics" has been enacted, which, for example, mandates that certain businesses reduce the use of single-use plastic products. Furthermore, this "Act on Promotion of Resource Recycling Related to Plastics" designates plastic hangers as "specific plastic products," and there is a growing demand for de-plasticization of hangers.

[0005] Here, a technology for replacing plastic hangers with paper ones has been proposed, for example, in Patent Documents 3, 4, and 5 listed below.

[0006] The hanger disclosed in Patent Document 3 has a hook portion and a hanger portion that are separate, allowing it to be disassembled into sheet-like parts. Although made of paper, it is easier to store and transport than plastic hangers in which the hook portion and hanger portion are integrally molded.

[0007] The hangers disclosed in Patent Documents 4 and 5 are made by folding and assembling a single sheet material to form a three-dimensional shape, which makes it less likely for clothes to wrinkle or lose their shape when in use. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6954700 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6694198 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2011-182807 [Patent Document 4] Utility Model Registration No. 3159829 [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-151364 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0009] However, the hanger described in Patent Document 3 requires the cumbersome operation of assembling and disassembling multiple components during use and transport. Furthermore, in terms of reducing bulk, the hook and hanger parts are separate and made into a single sheet, but the hanger part itself, which has the largest surface area, is about the same as a one-piece molded plastic hanger, and it cannot be said that it has been sufficiently made compact.

[0010] On the other hand, hangers made of sheet material such as paper, as described in Patent Documents 4 and 5, are excellent in terms of storage and transportability in the sheet material state before assembly, but once assembled, they are difficult to return to a form that is easy to store and carry. Furthermore, the hanger in Patent Document 5 has the problem that the manufacturing process is complicated because, in the sheet material before assembly, there are valley folds and mountain folds on one side, and it is necessary to form fold lines etc. from both sides of the sheet material.

[0011] In other words, conventional paper hangers, such as those disclosed in Patent Documents 3 to 5, are all made of thin, sheet-like paper before assembly, and therefore only offer superior storage and portability compared to integrally molded plastic hangers. Consequently, they do not achieve the high level of space-saving foldability that would make them suitable for, for example, users to carry while traveling.

[0012] Hangers are expected to be used in a variety of places and situations, such as when watching sports, during outdoor leisure activities like camping, on buses and trains during travel and sightseeing, and in offices and schools. However, hangers are often not available when needed. Therefore, there is a need for hangers that can be folded compactly to a size that fits in a handbag, for example, making them easy to carry, and that can also be easily assembled.

[0013] Therefore, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a hanger that allows for the selection of a three-dimensional usage form and a foldable form that is highly portable, and that can be easily manufactured from a non-plastic sheet material. [Means for solving the problem]

[0021] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 21. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated shapes or these embodiments. It goes without saying that the detailed shapes and positions of each part can be changed within the scope of the present invention.

[0022] The hanger 1 according to this embodiment is a hanger for clothes, and as shown in Figure 1, in its usage configuration, it has a roughly triangular hanger body 2 for hanging clothes and a hook portion 3 having a sickle-shaped hook portion 3F for hanging on a support.

[0023] The hanger body 2 is configured such that the first frame body 20A and the second frame body 20B face each other, and the hook portion 3 is configured such that the first hook portion forming piece 30A and the second hook portion forming piece 30B face each other, resulting in an overall three-dimensional shape.

[0024] In this hanger 1, the first frame body portion 20A, the second frame body portion 20B, the first hook portion forming piece 30A, and the second hook portion forming piece 30B are all thin plates, and in particular, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, they are unfolded into a single flexible sheet.

[0025] In this deployed state, the first frame body 20A has a first apex 21, a first right shoulder 22R and a first left shoulder 22L extending diagonally outward from the first apex 21, a first bottom 23 connecting the lower parts of the first right shoulder 22R and the first left shoulder 22L, and a first opening 24 surrounded by the first apex 21, the first right shoulder 22R, the first left shoulder 22L and the first bottom 23, and the first frame body 20A and the first opening 24 as a whole have a roughly isosceles triangular shape.

[0026] The second frame body 20B has a second apex 25, a second right shoulder 26R and a second left shoulder 26L extending diagonally outward from the second apex 25, a second bottom 27 connecting the lower parts of the second right shoulder 26R and the second left shoulder 26L, and a second opening 28 surrounded by the second apex 25, the second right shoulder 26R, the second left shoulder 26L and the second bottom 27. The second frame body 20B and the second opening 28 as a whole have a roughly isosceles triangular shape.

[0027] The first frame body 20A and the second frame body 20B are connected as a single unit by a common straight bottom fold line 51, which is the bottom edge 23E of the first bottom 23 and the bottom edge 27E of the second bottom 27. When the first frame body 20A or the second frame body 20B is folded back along the bottom fold line 51, the first vertex 21 and the second vertex 25 are positioned opposite each other in a butt-joint position. In the illustrated form, which is a particularly preferred form, the first vertex 21 and the second vertex 25, the first right shoulder 22R and the second right shoulder 26R, the first left shoulder 22L and the second left shoulder 26L, the first bottom 23 and the second bottom 27, and the first opening 24 and the second opening 28 are positioned symmetrically with respect to the bottom fold line 51 and overlap when folded back.

[0028] On the other hand, the first hook portion forming piece 30A in the hanger 1 of this embodiment is foldable and connected to the bottom side of the first top portion 21 via the first hook portion fold line 55, and as shown in Figure 2, when unfolded and not folded along the first hook portion fold line 55, it is located inside the first opening 24. Furthermore, by folding along the first hook portion fold line 55, the first hook portion 31F is configured to protrude above the first top portion 21, as shown in Figures 1 and 4.

[0029] Furthermore, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the second hook portion forming piece 30B is foldable and connected to the bottom side of the second top portion 25 via the second hook portion fold line 56, and is located inside the second opening 28 when unfolded and not folded along the second hook portion fold line 56. Also, by folding along the second hook portion fold line 56, the second hook portion 32F is configured to protrude above the second top portion 25, as shown in Figures 1 and 4.

[0030] In the illustrated configuration, the first hook-forming piece 30A and the second hook-forming piece 30B have the same shape and are symmetrical with respect to the bottom fold line 51. They face each other and overlap when the bottom fold line 51 is folded back, forming the hook portion 3. However, the first hook-forming piece 30A and the second hook-forming piece 30B do not have to be the same shape.

[0031] In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, from the unfolded state shown in Figure 2, the first hook portion forming piece 30A is folded back along the first hook portion fold line 55 shown in Figure 4, and the second hook portion forming piece 30B is folded back along the second hook portion fold line 56. Then, when the first frame body 20A or the second frame body 20B is folded back along the bottom fold line 51, as shown in Figures 1, 5 to 7, the first hook portion 31F of the first hook portion forming piece 30A protrudes above the first top portion 21, and the second hook portion 32F of the second hook portion forming piece 30B protrudes above the second top portion 25. The first hook portion forming piece 30A and the second hook portion forming piece 30B overlap and face each other, forming a double-layered hook portion 3 of sheet material. At this time, a portion of the first hook-forming piece 30A and the second hook-forming piece 30B are located between the first vertex 21 and the second vertex 25, resulting in a thick and strong shape between the first vertex 21 and the second vertex 25. Furthermore, a strong hook portion 3F made of double sheet material is formed above the first vertex 21 and the second vertex 25.

[0032] On the other hand, the first frame body portion 20A of the hanger 1 in this embodiment has a first shoulder upper forming piece 41 that extends from the first right shoulder portion 22R and the first left shoulder portion 22L via a first shoulder fold line 52 and widens from the first top portion 21 side to the first bottom portion 23 side, and an insertion piece 42 that extends from the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 via an insertion piece forming fold line 53. In the illustrated form, the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 is a roughly triangular shape with a tapered top side, but is not necessarily limited to this. It may be roughly trapezoidal. Also, there may be multiple first shoulder upper forming pieces 41. Furthermore, in the illustrated form, the insertion piece 42 is a roughly rectangular shape with a rounded tip, but is not limited to this. It may be formed with a tapered tip. Also, in the illustrated form, one insertion piece 42 is formed on one first shoulder upper forming piece 41, but multiple insertion pieces 42 may be formed on one first shoulder upper forming piece 41.

[0033] The second frame body portion 20B has a second shoulder upper forming piece 43 that extends from the second right shoulder portion 26R and the second left shoulder portion 26L via the second shoulder fold line 54, and an insertion portion 44 that is located between the second right shoulder portion 26R and the second left shoulder portion 26L and the second shoulder upper forming piece 43, into which an insertion piece 42 can be inserted.

[0034] In the illustrated configuration, the second shoulder upper forming piece 43 in the second frame body 20B is roughly triangular in shape, widening from the second apex 25 side to the second bottom 27 side, similar to the first shoulder upper forming piece 41, but is not necessarily limited to this shape. The second shoulder upper forming piece 43 only needs to function as an excess portion for forming an insertion portion 44 between at least the second right shoulder 26R and the second left shoulder 26L. However, it is desirable to have a shape that overlaps with the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 in a plan view during assembly, and preferably a similar shape that is slightly smaller than the first shoulder upper forming piece 41.

[0035] The insertion portion 44 only needs to be shaped so that the insertion piece 42 formed on the first frame body portion 20A can be inserted into it. Preferably, the width of the insertion portion 44 is the same as the width of the insertion piece 42, i.e., the length of the insertion piece forming fold line 53, which is the connection length between the insertion piece 42 and the first shoulder upper forming piece 41. This allows the insertion piece 42 to be inserted into the insertion portion 44 all the way to the base. In the illustrated form, the insertion portion 44 is formed by a slit that penetrates the sheet material. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, when the second shoulder upper forming piece 43 is folded back, the slit opens, forming an insertion portion 44 which becomes a hole. However, the insertion portion 44 is not limited to a slit. It may also be a long, narrow through-hole formed by punching or cutting. In the illustrated form, one insertion portion 44 is formed for each shoulder portion 26R, 26L, but the number of insertion portions 44 may be multiple depending on the number of insertion pieces 42, etc.

[0036] In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the insertion piece 42 and insertion part 44 are configured such that when the first frame body 20A or the second frame body 20B is folded back along the bottom fold line 51, and the first apex 21 and the second apex 25 are in a butt-to-butt-to-face position, and the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54 and the insertion piece forming fold line 53 are bent, the insertion piece 42 can be inserted into the insertion part 44.

[0037] In the illustrated configuration, when the first frame body portion 20A and the second frame body portion 20B are folded back along the bottom fold line 51, the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 and the second shoulder upper forming piece 43 extending from each shoulder portion are formed in a position where they are in close proximity to each other. When the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, and the insertion piece forming fold line 53 are folded at this position where they are in close proximity to each other, the insertion piece 42 is configured to be insertable into the insertion portion 44. Then, by inserting the insertion piece 42 into the insertion part 44, as shown in Figures 10 to 12, the second shoulder upper forming piece 43 and the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 overlap, and the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 is bridged between the first right shoulder 22R and the second right shoulder 26R, and between the first left shoulder 22L and the second left shoulder 26L. The first frame main body 20A and the second frame main body 20B, which are facing each other when folded back along the bottom fold line 51, are connected between the first right shoulder 22R and the second right shoulder 26R, and between the first left shoulder 22L and the second left shoulder 26L. The shape of the second shoulder upper forming piece 43 is such that it can overlap within the range of the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 when the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 is bridged. In this embodiment of the hanger 1, the order in which the bottom fold line 51, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, and the insert piece forming fold line 53 are folded during assembly is not limited.

[0038] In this embodiment of the hanger 1, the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 has a shape that gradually widens from the first top 21 side to the first bottom 23 side, and in the preferred illustrated form, it is approximately triangular in shape. Therefore, when the insertion piece 42 is inserted into the insertion part 44, and the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 is bridged between the first right shoulder 22R and the second right shoulder 26R, and between the first left shoulder 22L and the second left shoulder 26L, the first frame body 20A and the second frame body 20B, which are in opposing positions, are formed into a three-dimensional shape in which the distance between the first right shoulder 22R and the second right shoulder 26R and the first left shoulder 22L and the second left shoulder 26L gradually widens from the top side to the bottom side, up to the bottom side position of the first shoulder upper forming piece 41.

[0039] On the other hand, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the distance between the first right shoulder portion 22R and the second right shoulder portion 26R, and between the first left shoulder portion 22L and the second left shoulder portion 26L, gradually widens from the top side to the bottom side up to the bottom side position of the first shoulder portion upper forming piece 41. Meanwhile, since the first frame body portion 20A and the second frame body portion 20B are connected by the bottom side fold line 51, in particular when the length from the bottom side position of the first shoulder portion upper forming piece 41 to the bottom side fold line 51 is short, or when the widening width of the bottom side of the first shoulder portion upper forming piece 41 is wide, the distance between the first frame body portion 20A and the second frame body portion 20B becomes rapidly shorter during assembly between the bottom side position of the first shoulder portion upper forming piece 41 and the bottom side fold line 51. Therefore, for example, especially when the sheet material is a stiff material that does not easily bend, it is desirable to form bending guide lines 57 and 58 parallel to the bottom fold line 51 at the bottom position of the upper shoulder forming piece 41 or at a position closer to the bottom fold line 51 than that position, in order to facilitate assembly. In the preferred illustrated form, the bending guide lines 57 and 58 also serve as the third fold line 57 and the fourth fold line 58, which will be described in detail later, for folding the hanger 1 so that it can be easily carried. However, the bending guide lines 57 and 58 are not necessarily required, nor do they need to serve as fold lines. When bending guide lines are provided, the bending of the sheet material is eliminated by the bending guide lines, making assembly easier even with stiff materials.

[0040] In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the bottom fold line 51, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, the insert piece forming fold line 53, and the bending guide lines 57, 58 are lines that facilitate folding and bending of the sheet material. They may be simple printed lines for positioning, but preferably they are score lines, perforations, or half-slits, also known as fold lines. Particularly preferred are half-slits, which facilitate bending even with stiff materials. The cut tie ratio when using perforations and the slit depth when using half-slits can be changed according to the thickness and strength of the sheet material. Furthermore, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, the insert piece forming fold line 53, and the bending guide lines 57, 58 in the hanger of this embodiment do not all need to be of the same type. For example, the bottom fold line 51 may be a perforation, and the others may be half-slits. Also, the cut tie ratio when using perforations and the slit depth when using half-slits do not need to be the same.

[0041] In this embodiment, the structure of the hanger 1 is characterized by the fact that the folding direction of each part, including the bottom fold line 51, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, the insert piece forming fold line 53, and the folding guide lines 57 and 58, can all be in the same direction. Specifically, in the illustrated form, when assembling from the unfolded state shown in Figure 2, all the fold lines are mountain fold lines, and the folding direction is the same. In other words, at the bottom fold line 51, the first frame body 20A or the second frame body 20B is folded back toward the back of the paper; at the first hook fold line 55, the first hook forming piece 30A is folded back toward the back of the paper; at the second hook fold line 56, the second hook forming piece 30B is folded back toward the back of the paper; at the first shoulder fold line 52, the first upper shoulder forming piece 41 is folded back toward the back of the paper; at the second shoulder fold line 54, the second upper shoulder forming piece 43 is folded back toward the back of the paper; and at the insert piece forming fold line 53, the insert piece 42 is folded back toward the back of the paper. Similarly, when the folding guide lines 57 and 58 are formed, one of the regions divided by the folding guide lines 57 and 58 is folded back toward the back of the paper.

[0042] Therefore, in the hanger 1 of this embodiment, it is desirable to form the bottom fold line 51, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, the insert piece forming fold line 53, and the bending guide line 57 as half slits on the same surface. Half slits allow the slit side to open when bent, making it easy to make a strong hanger. Even with a thick, flexible but rigid material, straight bends are easily made, making it easier to assemble a strong hanger. Furthermore, when half slits can be formed on the same surface, manufacturing becomes extremely easy compared to manufacturing methods that cut from both sides of the paper.

[0043] Furthermore, in a particularly preferred form, the hanger 1 of this embodiment has a first folding line 59 that is perpendicular to the bottom fold line 51 and passes in a straight line through the first right shoulder portion 22R of the first frame body portion 20A, the first bottom portion 23 of the first frame body portion 20A, the second bottom portion 27 of the second frame body portion 20B, and the second right shoulder portion 26R of the second frame body portion 20B. It also has a second folding line 60 that is perpendicular to the bottom fold line 51 and passes in a straight line through the first left shoulder portion 22L of the first frame body portion 20A, the first bottom portion 23 of the first frame body portion 20A, the second bottom portion 27 of the second frame body portion 20B, and the second left shoulder portion 26L of the second frame body portion 20B. In the illustrated form, the first folding line 59 and the second folding line 60 are arranged to pass through the first shoulder portion upper forming piece 41 and the second shoulder portion upper forming piece 43, but this may also be done. However, it is also possible to arrange them so as not to pass through the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 and the second shoulder upper forming piece 43. This is selected based on the position and shape of the first shoulder upper forming piece 41 and the second shoulder upper forming piece 43.

[0044] Furthermore, the first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60 are positioned at two locations, sandwiching the first hook-forming piece 30A and the second hook-forming piece 30B. Therefore, regardless of the first hook-forming piece 30A and the second hook-forming piece 30B, with the extension direction of the bottom fold line 51 in the unfolded state being the width direction, the first fold line 59 can fold back the area 2R in the width direction from the first fold line 59. Also, the second fold line 60 can fold back the area 2L in the width direction from the second fold line 60. The distance between the first folding line 59 and the second folding line 60 is not limited, but if the distance between the first folding line 59 and the second folding line 60, and the distance from the first folding line 59 and the second folding line 60 to the outer edge in the width direction are set to about 1 / 3 of the total width, and the distance between the first folding line 59 and the second folding line 60 is set to be slightly wider, the paper will fold into three most compactly.

[0045] Furthermore, the hanger 1 of this embodiment has a pair of third folding lines 57 parallel to the bottom folding line 51, which are arranged on the first right shoulder portion 22R of the first frame body portion 20A and the second right shoulder portion 26R of the second frame body portion 20B, respectively, and a pair of fourth folding lines 58 parallel to the bottom folding line 51, which are arranged on the first left shoulder portion 22L of the first frame body portion 20A and the second left shoulder portion 26L of the second frame body portion 20B, respectively. In addition, the third folding lines 57 are positioned closer to the connection point between the first right shoulder portion 22R and the first bottom portion 23 and closer to the connection point between the second right shoulder portion 26R and the second bottom portion 27 than the first folding line 59. Similarly, the fourth fold line 58 is positioned closer to the connection point between the first left shoulder portion 22L and the first bottom portion 23, and closer to the connection point between the second left shoulder portion 26L and the second bottom portion 27, than the second fold line 60. Note that the distances of each line of the pair of third fold lines 57 from the bottom fold line 51 do not necessarily have to be equidistant, but it is desirable that they be. The same applies to the distances of each line of the pair of fourth fold lines 58 from the bottom fold line 51; they do not necessarily have to be equidistant, but it is desirable that they be. Furthermore, in the illustrated form, the third fold line 57 and the fourth fold line 58 also serve as folding guide lines.

[0046] The third fold line 57 and the fourth fold line 58 are positioned closer to the top 21,25, and the form, which is folded in three by the first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60, can be further folded in three by the third fold line 57 and the fourth fold line 58.

[0047] The three-fold at the third fold line 57 and the fourth fold line 58 will be explained in detail using the illustrated form. As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the unfolded state of the hanger 1 in the illustrated form is such that the fourth fold line 58, located on the first left shoulder portion 22L of the first frame body portion 20A and the second left shoulder portion 26L of the second frame body portion 20B, is located closer to the top portions 21 and 25 than the position of the third fold line 57. In this illustrated configuration, first, as shown in Figure 4, the first hook portion 31F of the first hook portion forming piece 30A protrudes above the first vertex 21, and the second hook portion 32F of the second hook portion forming piece 30B protrudes above the second vertex 25. In this state, as shown in Figure 13, the region 2R located outside the width direction of the first fold line 59 is folded back towards the back of the paper along the first fold line 59. Then, as shown in Figure 14, the region 2L located outside the width direction of the second fold line 60 is folded back towards the back of the paper along the second fold line 60, overlapping with the region 2R located outside the width direction of the first fold line 59 to form a tri-fold configuration. At this time, the region 2L located outside the width direction of the second fold line 60, where the fourth fold line 58 is located, is positioned further towards the back of the paper. Next, in this state, as shown in Figure 15, the portion 2X located on the top 21 side of the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57 is folded back in the direction towards the front of the paper, that is, with the fourth fold line 58 on the outside and the third fold line 57 on the inside. Alternatively, this folding may be performed by folding back the portion 2Y located on the top 25 side of the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57 first. During this folding process, the area 2L located further outward in the width direction from the second fold line 60, where the fourth fold line 58 is formed, covers and wraps around the area 2R located further outward in the width direction from the first fold line 59, where the third fold line 57 is formed. As a result, the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57 are not equidistant from the bottom fold line 51, and the fourth fold line 58 is located closer to the top 21,25 than the third fold line 57. This allows the sheet material to flex easily during folding, and gaps Z1,Z2 are formed between the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57, enabling smooth folding.

[0048] With the fourth fold line 58 facing outwards and the third fold line 57 facing inwards, fold back the portion 2X located on the top 21 side of the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57. Then, as shown in Figure 16, fold back the first hook portion 30A that was folded back by the first hook portion fold line 55 to its original position. Note that this unfolding of the first hook portion 30A may be done before folding back the portion 2X located on the top 21 side of the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57.

[0049] After unfolding the first hook portion 30, as shown in Figure 17, the portion 2Y located on the side of the top 25 that is closer to the top 25 than the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57 is folded back in the direction towards the front of the paper, that is, with the fourth fold line 58 facing outwards and the third fold line 57 facing inwards. As mentioned above, either portion X or portion Y may be folded back first.

[0050] After folding back the portion 2Y located on the top 25 side of the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57, fold back the second hook portion 30B, which was folded back by the second hook portion fold line 56, as shown in Figure 18. Note that this unfolding of the second hook portion 30B may be done before folding back the portion 2Y located on the top 25 side of the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57.

[0051] Thus, when the first fold line is folded along the fourth fold line, as shown in Figure 18, regions 2R, 2L, part X, and part Y are folded, resulting in an extremely compact and highly portable shape.

[0052] Furthermore, in the configuration where portion 2Y, located closer to the top 25 than the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57, is folded first towards the front of the paper, rather than portion 2X, located closer to the top 21 than the fourth fold line 58 and the third fold line 57, the shape is as shown in Figure 19. In either case, it folds compactly. Figure 20 shows the shape of the back side in the folded configuration shown in Figure 19.

[0053] In the illustrated diagram for explanation, the area 2R located further outward in the width direction from the first fold line 59 is folded back towards the back of the paper first, and then the area 2L located further outward in the width direction from the second fold line 60 is folded back towards the back of the paper, so that the area 2L located further outward in the width direction from the second fold line 60 is positioned further back on the paper and also folded towards the front, resulting in the fourth fold line 58 being positioned closer to the top 21,25. However, if the folding configuration is to first fold back the area 2L located further outward in the width direction from the second fold line 60 towards the back of the paper, and then fold back the area 2R located further outward in the width direction from the first fold line 59, so that the area 2R located further outward in the width direction from the first fold line 59 is positioned further back on the paper, then the third fold line 57 should be positioned closer to the top 21,25 than the fourth fold line 58. In other words, whether the third fold line 57 or the fourth fold line 58 is positioned towards the top 21,25 side depends on the folding order of the first fold line 59 and the second fold line 60.

[0054] In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, in addition to the bottom fold line 51, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, and the insert piece forming fold line 53, the folding direction of each part at the first folding line 59, the second folding line 60, the third folding line 57, and the fourth folding line 58 can all be made in the same direction. For example, when folding from the unfolded state shown in Figure 2 as described above, the first folding line 59, the second folding line 60, the third folding line 57, and the fourth folding line 58 are all mountain folds, just like the other fold lines.

[0055] Therefore, in the hanger of this embodiment, in addition to the bottom fold line 51, the first hook fold line 55, the second hook fold line 56, the first shoulder fold line 52, the second shoulder fold line 54, and the insertion piece forming fold line 53, the first folding line 59, the second folding line 60, the third folding line 57, and the fourth folding line 58 can also be formed as half-slits on the same surface, and it is desirable to prepare them this way. Since it is only necessary to form half-slits on the same surface, manufacturing becomes easier compared to manufacturing methods that cut from both sides of the paper surface.

[0056] In this embodiment, when each fold line of the hanger 1 is a half-slit, the slit depth is not limited, but preferably the tensile strength between the slits should be 150N or more, preferably 170N or more. This significantly reduces the risk of unintentional breakage at the half-slit position during assembly, use, and folding. This tensile strength was measured using a sample that conforms to JIS P 8113, with dimensions of a rectangle of 15mm width x 180mm length, and a half-slit formed at the 90mm position (half the length). The measurement was performed with a tensile speed of 20mm / min and a load cell capacity of 1KN.

[0057] The hanger 1 of this embodiment, having the structure described above, has a three-dimensional form in which the upper shoulder forming piece 41 is bridged between the shoulder portions of the first frame body 20A and the second frame body 20B. Furthermore, it can be folded along the first folding line 29, the second folding line 60, the third folding line 57, and the fourth folding line 58, resulting in a compact folded form that is highly portable. Moreover, since the unfolded state becomes a single sheet material like paper, it can be manufactured from a non-plastic sheet material. Furthermore, the folding direction of each part can be made the same from the unfolded state, and half-slits and creases can be easily formed from only one side during manufacturing. Note that the description of the illustrated form refers to the unfolded state shown in Figure 2, that is, the positional relationship where the first apex 21 of the first frame body 20A is above the paper and the second apex 25 of the second frame body 20B is below the paper. It goes without saying that the left and right designations of the first right shoulder section 22R, the first left shoulder section 22L, the second right shoulder section 26R, and the second left shoulder section 26L are merely for convenience and change depending on the position of the hanger 1 in its deployed state and the viewer.

[0058] Here, we will now describe a sheet material that is particularly suitable for the hanger 1 of this embodiment. From the viewpoint of reducing plastic use, the sheet material of this embodiment is preferably paper made from pulp fibers. Specifically, corrugated cardboard, coated cardboard, and multilayer paper with multiple layers of paper laminated together can be given as examples. Of course, it is even more desirable that the paper be composed only of fibers derived from natural materials and does not contain synthetic fibers including plastic. Preferably, paper made only of pulp fibers is desirable. Furthermore, a particularly preferred paper is multilayer paper having three or more layers of paper. As shown in Figure 21, since the multilayer paper 80 has multiple layers of paper 81 and 82 laminated together, the properties of each layer can be changed, making it easy to fold while maintaining strength. For example, by combining a pair of surface layers 81 that are excellent in water resistance and abrasion resistance but are hard and tend to break easily with a flexible middle layer 82, it becomes possible to achieve excellent toughness and durability, making it easy to fold and assemble while maintaining strength. Furthermore, when each fold line is made into a half-slit, multiple layers, including the surface layer, are not completely cut, and the risk of breakage at each fold line is significantly reduced. The multilayer paper 80 can be manufactured by multilayer papermaking. The multilayer paper 80 may be commercially available, for example, Elipla Paper manufactured by Dainichi Paper Co., Ltd.

[0059] When the sheet material is made of paper, the basis weight of the paper is preferably 400 g / m². 2 Above, a comfortable 430g / m² 2 In particular, 460 g / m² is preferred. 2 That concludes the explanation. With this basis weight paper, assembly by folding each part is easy, and it is also easy to use as a hanger with sufficient rigidity and strength. There is no upper limit to the basis weight, but there is a risk that creases will easily occur when folding with the calender roll during papermaking, so from this point of view, the upper limit should be 1400g / m². 2 Preferably, 1240 g / m² 2This is more preferable. Furthermore, when the sheet material is paper, the paper thickness is preferably 500 μm or more and 1,400 μm or less, and more preferably 550 μm or more and 1,350 μm or less. Note that the basis weight is the value measured in accordance with "Paper and cardboard - Method for measuring basis weight" described in JIS P 8124 (2011), and the paper thickness is the value measured in accordance with "Paper and cardboard - Test method for thickness and density" described in JIS-P8118 (2014).

[0060] When the sheet material is paper, the constituent pulp fibers of the paper are not necessarily limited, but preferred constituent pulp fibers are softwood kraft pulp such as unbleached softwood kraft pulp (NUKP), semi-bleached softwood kraft pulp (NSBKP), and bleached softwood kraft pulp (NBKP), and hardwood kraft pulp such as unbleached hardwood kraft pulp (LUKP), semi-bleached hardwood kraft pulp (LSBKP), and bleached hardwood kraft pulp (LBKP). Other pulps may be used in appropriate combinations of various known pulps, such as recycled paper pulp, hardwood sulfite pulp, softwood sulfite pulp, or pulp chemically or mechanically produced from non-wood fibers such as kenaf, hemp, and reed. It is desirable that softwood kraft pulp and hardwood kraft pulp make up 90-100% by mass, as this facilitates the development of strength. In this case, the mixing ratio of softwood kraft pulp to hardwood kraft pulp should preferably be 5:95 to 30:70. If the hanger is to have a clean and hard appearance, it is particularly preferable to use bleached softwood kraft pulp and bleached hardwood kraft pulp, which are white pulps with a high degree of whiteness.

[0061] When using paper as the sheet material, it is desirable that the paper has a tensile strength of 20 kN / m or more, preferably 25 kN / m or more, in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, as measured in accordance with JIS P 8113 (2006). Having this tensile strength makes it suitable for folding and assembly, and also facilitates the creation of hangers with sufficient strength.

[0062] Furthermore, if the sheet material is paper, it is desirable that the paper has a Taber stiffness of 120 mN·m or more in the longitudinal direction and 40 mN·m or more in the transverse direction, as measured in accordance with JIS P 8125 (2000). in If present, it can provide sufficient rigidity and strength to function as a hanger, and is also easy to fold and assemble.

[0063] Furthermore, if the sheet material is paper, the Z-axis strength of that paper, measured in accordance with JAPAN TAPPI Paper Pulp Test Method No. 18-1:2000, must be 400 kN / m². 2 Preferably 450 kN / m 2 The above is desirable. It is easy to manufacture hangers in their unfolded state by die-cutting such as Thomson processing or cutting with a cutting plotter.

[0064] When using paper as the sheet material, it is desirable that the static friction coefficient of the paper, according to JIS P 8147 ISO horizontal method, be between 0.25 and 0.65. This provides adequate friction when clothing is hung on the paper, preventing it from slipping off easily, and also results in a surface that is less likely to damage the fabric. This measurement method involves taking three measurements each on the back surfaces of the sheet material and on the front surfaces, and it is desirable that the third measurement in both the back surfaces and front surfaces falls within the above range. The ISO horizontal method only requires measuring at least one of the static friction coefficients of the first slide, the third slide, or the third slide. The static friction coefficient of the third slide tends to be smaller than that of the first slide, and the variation in the static friction coefficient of the third slide is also smaller.

[0065] When the sheet material is paper, the paper should preferably have a PPS (Parker Print Surf Roughness) conforming to JIS P 8151, with a thickness of 3 to 8 μm on both the front and back surfaces, more preferably 4 to 7 μm. This provides a suitable surface texture that prevents clothing from slipping off when hung and also prevents damage to the fabric.

[0066] When the sheet material is paper, the MMD value of the paper is preferably 10 to 25 for both the front and back surfaces. It has an appropriate surface property that makes it difficult to slip off when clothes are hung and difficult to damage the fabric. The MMD is measured using a friction sensation tester (KES-SE, manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd.) and its equivalent devices. The friction element used is one having a contact surface with a length and width of 10 mm each, which is formed by adjacent 20 piano wires with a diameter of 0.5 mm attached as standard.

[0067] When the sheet material is the multi-layer paper 80 particularly preferred for the hanger 1 according to the present embodiment, although the number of layers is not limited, it is preferably five to nine layers, and the number of layers of the middle layer 82 is three or more, particularly five layers. In particular, the form shown in FIG. 21 has three middle layers 82. It is said that when the total number of the middle layers 82 is three or more, the toughness and durability of the multi-layer paper 80 are more likely to be exhibited. From the viewpoint of maintaining the interlayer strength, the upper limit of the total number of the middle layers 82 is preferably seven layers or less. Also, when operating while maintaining the interlayer strength in the case of using a cylinder multi-form sheet-making machine, three to seven layers are easy to operate.

[0068] When the sheet material is the multi-layer paper 80, the basis weight of the surface layer 81 and the middle layer 82 can be adjusted within the range of the overall basis weight when the above sheet material is paper, and is not particularly limited. Preferably, the basis weight of the surface layer 81 is 2 55.0 g / m per layer 2 to 150.0 g / m 2 per layer, particularly preferably 60 to 145 g / m 2 per layer. Also, the basis weight of the entire middle layer 82 is 2 490 g / m 2 to 750 g / m 2 per layer, particularly preferably 495 g / m 2 to 740 g / m per layer. Furthermore, the multi-layer paper 80 preferably has a ratio of the total basis weight of the pair of surface layers 81, 81 to the basis weight of the entire multi-layer paper 80 of 15.0% or more and 33.0% or less. The rigidity of the pair of surface layers 81 is high, and the flexibility of the middle layer 82 is excellent. Therefore, it is easy to bend at the fold line position and difficult to bend at positions other than the fold line, and it is easy to form a hanger excellent in strength and ease of assembly.

[0069] When the sheet material is multilayer paper 80, the composition of pulp fibers in each layer of the multilayer paper 80 is preferably such that the mass ratio (%) of softwood kraft pulp to hardwood kraft pulp in the surface layer 81 is 0 / 100 or more and 15 / 85 or less. In addition, along with the surface layer 81, the middle layer 82 preferably has a mass ratio (%) of softwood kraft pulp to hardwood kraft pulp of 15 / 85 or more and 35 / 65 or less. A large amount of hardwood kraft pulp, which is rigid and easily densened, is contained in the surface layer, resulting in high density and rigidity, while the middle layer contains a large amount of softwood kraft pulp, which is more flexible than the surface layer. As a result, the hanger tends to have less strength loss even when folded at each fold line during assembly and when repeatedly folded.

[0070] Furthermore, when the sheet material is multilayer paper 80, it is desirable that at least one of a sizing agent and a paper strength enhancer is added to the multilayer paper 80 as a papermaking additive. This makes it easier to adjust to the desired strength. In addition, the multilayer paper 80 may contain various other additives to the extent that it does not impair the effects intended for this invention. For example, polyvinyl alcohol or wax can be applied.

[0071] Examples of sizing agents include styrene-based sizing agents, alkyl ketene dimers (AKD), alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), neutral rosin sizing agents, rosin sizing agents, and modified rosin emulsion sizing agents. Among these, rosin sizing agents and modified rosin emulsion sizing agents are preferred. Rosin sizing agents are not particularly limited. Rosin-based substances include, for example, reinforced rosins obtained by modifying rosins such as gum rosin, wood rosin, and tall oil rosin with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids such as fumaric acid, maleic acid, and acrylic acid, or their anhydrides, and rosin esters obtained by reacting rosins with polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin, trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, and diglycerin. Rosin sizing agents also include emulsions of these alone or mixtures, and emulsions of these alone followed by mixtures. Furthermore, emulsions to which various polymers are added to further improve sizing properties are also included.

[0072] Various known paper strength enhancers can be used, including polyacrylamide resins, polyamide resins, polyamine resins, acrylic resins, melamine resins, urea resins, and polyamide epichlorohydrin resins. Among these, it is preferable to use an amphoteric paper strength enhancer. Examples of amphoteric polyacrylamides include copolymers of acrylamide with anionic monomers and cationic monomers, Mannich-modified copolymers of acrylamide with anionic monomers, and Hoffmann decomposition products. In particular, amphoteric polyacrylamide has a self-fixing function, so even if it is added to improve inter-paper strength, it does not result in an excess of cations, and it can be stably fixed by including it together with a modified rosin emulsion sizing agent.

[0073] The amount of sizing agent added is preferably between 0.5 kg / t and 5.0 kg / t in terms of solid content. The amount of paper strength enhancer added is preferably between 12 kg / t and 30 kg / t in terms of solid content. Note that "kg / t" indicates the mass (kg) per ton of pulp. Adding sizing agent within this range increases water resistance, making it easier to maintain sufficient strength even when wet clothing or towels are hung on it.

[0074] Furthermore, when the sheet material is multilayer paper 80, it is preferable to add at least one of the above-mentioned sizing agent and paper strength enhancer as a papermaking additive to each layer of the multilayer paper 80, including the surface layer 81 and the middle layer 82. In this case, the amount of sizing agent added to the surface layer 81 is preferably 0.5 kg / t to 5.0 kg / t in solid content. The amount of sizing agent added to the middle layer 82 is preferably 2.0 kg / t to 5.0 kg / t in solid content. The amount of paper strength enhancer added to each layer is preferably 12 kg / t to 30 kg / t in solid content. By keeping the paper strength within this range, it is easier to achieve various paper strengths, such as interlayer strength, of the multilayer paper suitable for hangers.

[0075] Furthermore, it is desirable that the hanger according to this embodiment contains a siloxane compound. The presence of a siloxane compound increases rigidity, strength, and water resistance due to siloxane bonding. The siloxane compound is not necessarily limited as long as it has siloxane bonding, but since the hanger 1 is used to hang clothing that comes into contact with the human body, it is desirable that it is non-toxic or has low toxicity to living organisms. In addition to coating the hanger with the siloxane compound after assembly, the siloxane compound may also be incorporated by impregnating the sheet material before assembly or the sheet material as a base material with an appropriate alkoxysilane solution or an alkoxysilane solution processed product, and then heating or inducing heating. This is desirable because it allows the siloxane compound to be incorporated in a manner that it is bonded to the pulp fibers themselves or coats the pulp fibers.

[0076] Furthermore, the hanger according to this embodiment may be coated or impregnated with a surface protective agent, antibacterial agent, or antiviral agent, to the extent that it does not excessively alter the coefficient of friction, surface roughness, or folding suitability, and does not hinder the function of the hanger or the effects of the present invention.
