[0087] The garment care device (1) can primarily perform the function of supporting a support member (60) on which a garment (not shown) is mounted (primary function). Secondly, it can perform the function of shaking the garment (not shown) mounted on the support member (60) for a certain period of time to effectively remove odors remaining on the garment (not shown) and smooth out wrinkles (secondary function).

[0088] Conventionally, in order to implement the aforementioned secondary function, the position of the point where the support member on which the clothing is mounted is supported (support point) and the point that shakes the mounting member (action point) were the same. Consequently, the displacement of the action point had to be large, which resulted in increased wear on the parts and increased vibration noise. Therefore, there is a need to separate the support point and the action point to maximize the shaking of the clothing mounted on the mounting member with minimal kinetic energy. Below, a clothing hanger (100) provided with a structure that separates the support point and the action point will be described in detail.

[0089] A clothing hanger (100) may include a support bar (110) fixed inside a management room (30), a swing hook (130) that swings a mounting member (60) supported by the support bar (110), a slider (120) connected to the swing hook (130) and arranged to reciprocate, and a motor (M) that provides driving force for the reciprocating motion of the slider (120).

Both ends of the support bar (110) may be fixed to the interior of the management room (30), specifically to the left side (12c) and the right side (12d) of the management room, respectively. Referring to FIG. 4, the direction in which the support bar (110) extends may be provided in the left-right direction. However, the direction in which the support bar (110) extends within the management room (30) is not limited to this.

[0091] A clothing hanger (100) may further include a support member (111) which is positioned on a support bar (110) and is configured to catch the upper end (61a) of a catch portion (61). Referring to FIG. 5, the support member (111) may include a seating part (111a) on which the upper end (61a) of the catch portion is supported, and a limiting part (111b) positioned at both ends of the seating part (111a). The limiting part (111b) may be configured to restrict the movement of the upper end (61a) of the catch portion in the extension direction of the support bar (110). Thus, the support member (111) may be configured in an approximately M-shape. The support member (111) may be positioned on the upper side of the support bar (110) which is configured in a bar shape. By positioning the support member (111) on the upper side of the support bar (110), the upper end of the catch member (61a) can be supported on the seating part (111a).

[0092] The limiting part (111b) may be provided to protrude radially outward from the support bar (110). The direction of protrusion may be approximately toward the upper part of the management room (30).

[0093] Support members (111) may be provided in multiple numbers to support multiple mounting members (60). The multiple support members (111) may be arranged at regular intervals along the extension direction of the support bar (110). The support members (111) may be arranged at regular intervals along the extension direction of the support bar (110) at positions corresponding to multiple swing hooks (130).

[0094] The support bar (110) and the support member (111) of the clothing hanger (100) included in the clothing care device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention are disclosed as separate components, but are not limited thereto. The support bar (110) and the support member (111) may be formed integrally.

[0095] The slider (120) and the swing hook (130) may be arranged to be connected to each other. The swing hook (130) may be fixed to the slider (120) through a fastening portion (130a, see FIG. 7). The swing hook (130) may be provided in multiple numbers and arranged at regular intervals along the extension direction of the slider (120).

[0096] The slider (120) can reciprocate parallel to the first direction (D1). The reciprocating motion of the slider (120) can be arranged to perform a linear reciprocating motion.

[0097] The slider (120) may be extended parallel to the first direction (D1). The slider (120) may be provided in a bar shape. The first direction (D1) in which the slider (120) extends may be provided parallel to the extension direction of the support bar (110). That is, the first direction (D1) in which the slider (120) extends may be provided in the left-right direction, which is the direction in which the support bar (110) extends. However, the extension direction of the slider (120) is not limited to this.

[0098] The slider (120) may include an interlocking slit (121) provided to convert the rotational motion of the motor (M) into the linear reciprocating motion of the slider (120). The interlocking slit (121) may be formed by penetrating the slider (120). The interlocking slit (121) may be formed by penetrating in the thickness direction of the slider (120).

[0099] The extension direction of the interlocking slit (121) can be formed parallel to the third direction (D3) which is perpendicular to the first direction (D1). An interlocking projection (141) of the interlocking part (140), which rotates along a rotation axis parallel to the rotation axis of the motor (M), is inserted into the interlocking slit (121), so that the rotational motion of the motor (M) can be converted into the linear reciprocating motion of the slider (120). The structural relationship regarding the interlocking slit (121) and the interlocking part (140) will be described in detail later.

[0100] The swing hook (130) may be provided to grasp the lower end (61b) of the catch portion (61) that is hooked onto the support bar (110) and the support portion (111). The swing hook (130) may include a pair of pressure parts (131) provided to grasp the lower end (61b) of the catch portion. The pair of pressure parts (131) may be provided such that the lower end (61b) of the catch portion is positioned between each pressure part (131).

[0101] A pair of pressure parts (131) of the swing hook (130) may be provided in a second direction (D2) that intersects the extension direction of the support bar (110). The angle formed by the extension direction of the support bar (110) and the second direction may be provided vertically. However, the extension direction of the pair of pressure parts (131) is not limited thereto.

[0102] The swing hook (130) may further include a hook fixing part (132) extending upward from the rear end of a pair of pressure parts (131). The pair of pressure parts (131) and the hook fixing part (132) may be provided in a roughly L-shaped bent form. Between the pair of pressure parts (131) and the hook fixing part (132), a bent portion (133) connecting the pair of pressure parts (131) and the hook fixing part (132) may be provided. A fastening portion (130a) may be provided on the hook fixing part (132), and the swing hook (130) may be fixed to the slider (120) through the fastening portion (130a).

[0103] Since the swing hook (130) is provided in a bent shape consisting of a pair of pressure parts (131) and a hook fixing part (132), the upper end (61a) of the catch portion (61) is supported by the support bar (110) and the support part (111), and the lower end (61b) of the catch portion (61) can be provided in a structure that swings by the swing hook (130). That is, when the point where the upper end (61a) of the catch portion is supported by the support bar (110) and the support part (111) is defined as the support point, and the point where the lower end (61b) of the catch portion is gripped by the swing hook (130) is defined as the point of action, a structure in which the support point and the point of action are separated can be easily implemented.

[0104] The hanging portion (61) can be configured such that the upper end of the hanging portion (61a) is supported at one point by the support portion (111), and the lower end of the hanging portion (61b) moves back and forth by the swing hook (130) to cause the clothing (not shown) mounted on the mounting member (60) to swing.

[0105] However, the shape of the swing hook (130) is not limited to this, and even if it is not provided in a bent shape, a structure in which the support point and the point of action are separated can be implemented by placing the slider (120) to which the swing hook (130) is connected at a position lower than the position of the support bar (110).

[0106] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the clothing hanger (100) may further include a sliding base (150) that supports a slider (120). The sliding base (150) may support the slider (120) so that the slider (120) can reciprocate in a specific area inside the management room (30).

[0107] The sliding base (150) may be extended parallel to the first direction (D1), which is the direction in which the slider (120) extends. Both ends of the sliding base (150) may be fixed to the interior of the management room (30), specifically to the left side (12c) and the right side (12d) of the management room (30), respectively. The sliding base (150) may include base fixing parts (159) that are fixed to the management room (30) at both ends. Referring to FIG. 4, the direction in which the sliding base (150) extends may be provided in the left-right direction. However, the direction in which the sliding base (150) extends within the management room (30) is not limited to this.

[0108] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, the clothing hanger (100) may further include a hanger cover (160) that is coupled to a sliding base (150).

[0109] The hanger cover (160) may be provided with a shape corresponding to the sliding base (150). The edge shape of the hanger cover (160) may be provided with a shape corresponding to the edge shape of the sliding base (150). The hanger cover (160) may be positioned in front of the sliding base (150) and fixed to the sliding base (150). The hanger cover (160) may perform the function of supporting the slider (120) so as to prevent the slider (120), which is positioned inside the sliding base (150), from moving out of the sliding base (150).

[0110] Referring to FIG. 6, the hanger cover (160) may include a cover hole (161) so that the swing hook (130) protrudes into the management room (30). The cover hole (161) may be provided in a cut shape corresponding to the reciprocating range of the swing hook (130). The cover hole (161) may be provided with a cover hole cut width (161w) that is equal to or longer than the width (W, see FIG. 12) of the reciprocating range of the swing hook (130).

[0111] A pair of pressure parts (131) can protrude into the interior of the management room (30) through a cover hole (161). A bent portion (133) connecting a pair of pressure parts (131) and a hook fixing part (132) can be arranged adjacently in the cover hole (161).

[0112] Since the cover hole (161) is formed to correspond to the swing hook (130), if the swing hook (130) is provided in multiple numbers, the cover hole (161) can also be provided in multiple numbers corresponding to the number of swing hooks.

[0113] The sliding base (150) may further include a slider guide (152) to support the slider (120). The slider guide (152) may be provided to support both ends of the edge of the slider (120) so that the slider (120) moves in a straight reciprocating motion in a first direction (D1).

[0114] The slider guide (152) can be provided in a rail shape. The rail shape structure of the slider guide (152) can be provided at intervals corresponding to the height (H) of the slider (120).

[0115] The sliding base (150) may include a first surface (150a) on which the slider (120) is seated and a second surface (150b) located opposite to the first surface (150a). A motor (M) may be fixed to the second surface (150b).

[0116] The sliding base (150) may include an interlocking hole (151) penetrating the sliding base (150) so as to connect the first surface (150a) and the second surface (150b). The interlocking hole (151) may be provided to support an interlocking part (140) for converting the rotational motion of the motor (M) into the linear reciprocating motion of the slider (120). The interlocking hole (151) may be provided in a shape corresponding to the shape of the interlocking part (140).

[0117] Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 11, the clothing hanger (100) may further include a linkage member (140) that rotates along a linkage member rotation axis (Y2) parallel to the motor rotation axis (Y1).

[0118] The interlocking part (140) may be provided as a circular plate. The interlocking part (140) may include an interlocking projection (141) formed at a position spaced apart from the rotation center of the interlocking part (140). The interlocking projection (141) may protrude from the surface of the plate shape in a direction parallel to the rotation axis (Y2) of the interlocking part. The interlocking projection (141) of the interlocking part (140) is inserted into the interlocking slit (121) to convert the rotational movement of the motor (M) into the linear reciprocating movement of the slider (120).

[0119] The rotation axis (Y2) of the linkage unit (140) may be arranged parallel to the motor rotation axis (Y1) of the motor (M) at a position spaced apart from it. A plurality of gears (G1 to G5) may be provided between the motor (M) and the linkage unit (140) so that the driving force of the motor (M) can be transmitted to the linkage unit (140). The plurality of gears (G1 to G5) may be placed inside the gear cover (155), and the motor (M) may be fixed to the sliding base (150) with the gear cover (155) in between. The motor (M) is fixed to the gear cover (155), and the gear cover (155) may be arranged to be fixed to the sliding base (150). The gears (G1 to G5) or the motor (M) may be placed on the second surface (150b) of the sliding base (150). However, the structural relationship between the linkage unit (140) and the motor (M) is not limited to this, and the linkage unit (140) may be directly connected to the motor (M).

[0120] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the reciprocating motion step of a slider of a clothing hanger included in a clothing care machine according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0121] FIG. 12 illustrates the reciprocating motion stages of the slider (120) of the clothing hanger (100) in four stages. The first stage (S1) is the state where the interlocking projection (141) is positioned at the top.

[0122] Based on the first stage, the linkage unit (140) can rotate clockwise. However, the linkage unit (140) does not rotate only clockwise, and may also rotate counterclockwise depending on the control method of the garment care device (1), and may be provided to rotate in various modes by appropriately combining clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The position of the linkage projection (141) and the slider (120) in the first stage (S1) can be defined as the initial position.

[0123] The second step (S2), the third step (S3), and the fourth step (S4) may correspond to a state rotated 90 degrees clockwise, a state rotated 180 degrees clockwise, and a state rotated 270 degrees clockwise, respectively, from the first step (S1).

[0124] The cutting width of the interlocking slit (121) is provided with a length corresponding to the interlocking projection (141), and the extension direction of the interlocking slit can be formed parallel to the third direction (D3) which is perpendicular to the first direction (D1). When referring to the first stage (S1) and the third stage (S3), the height (R) of the interlocking slit (121) can be provided to correspond to the magnitude of the displacement between the uppermost position of the interlocking projection (141) in the first stage (S1) and the lowermost position in the third stage (S3). As described above, the linear reciprocating motion of the slider (120) is performed parallel to the first direction (D1).

[0125] The movement of the slider (120) in a direction parallel to the third direction (D3) may be restricted by the slider guide (152). Accordingly, the interlocking projection (141) may be provided to press the slider (120) only in a direction parallel to the first direction (D1).

[0126] In the first step (S1), when rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the slider (120) moves to the left in parallel with the first direction (D1). In the second step (S2), when rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the slider (120) moves to the right in parallel with the first direction (D1). In the third step (S3), when rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the slider (120) moves to the right in parallel with the first direction (D1). In the fourth step (S4), when rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the slider (120) moves to the left in parallel with the first direction (D1). When the interlocking part (140) rotates 360 degrees in the first step (S1), the interlocking projection (141) and the slider (120) can be arranged to return to their initial positions.

[0127] According to the structure described above, the rotational motion of the motor (M) can be converted into the linear reciprocating motion of the slider (120). Additionally, due to the separation structure of the swing hook (130) fixed to the support bar (110) and the slider (120), the catch portion (61) can be configured such that the upper end (61a) of the catch portion is supported at one point by the support portion (111), and the lower end (61b) of the catch portion reciprocates by the swing hook (130), thereby causing the clothing (not shown) mounted on the mounting member (60) to shake. Since the support point and the point of action can be separated, the shaking of the clothing mounted on the mounting member can be maximized with minimal kinetic energy.

[0128] FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a clothing hanger included in a clothing care device according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 14 is a plan view of a part of the clothing hanger shown in FIG. 13. FIG. 15 is a front view of a part of the clothing hanger shown in FIG. 13.

[0129] The difference between the clothing hanger (100') included in the clothing care device (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention and the clothing hanger (100') included in the clothing care device according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above is that the swing hook (130') can be connected to or disconnected from the slider (120', see FIG. 17 and FIG. 18) depending on the rotation direction of the cover link (170).

[0130] The clothing hanger (100') may include a support bar (110) fixed inside the management room (30), a swing hook (130') that swings a mounting member (60) supported by the support bar (110), and a slider (120') connected to the swing hook (130') and arranged to reciprocate. Since the specific structure of these is as described above, redundant descriptions are omitted, and the different structure is described in detail.

[0131] A clothing hanger (100') included in a clothing care device (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a cover link (170). The cover link (170) may be rotatably provided on a sliding base (150'). The cover link (170) may be provided to selectively connect a swing hook (130') to a slider (120') depending on the direction of rotation.

[0132] Referring to FIG. 13, the cover link (170) may be provided in a first state (S10) in which it rotates in a first rotational direction (Z1) to disconnect the swing hook (130') from the slider (120'), and in a second state (S20) in which it rotates in a second rotational direction (Z2) to connect to the slider (120').

[0133] The cover link (170) can be arranged to wrap around the support bar (110) in the second state (S20) and be fixed to the support bar (110). The body of the cover link (170) can be arranged in a roughly hook shape.

[0134] The cover link (170) may include a fixing hook (176) formed at one end of the cover link (170). The fixing hook (176) may be provided at one end in a hook shape. The fixing hook (176) may be provided at one end of the cover link (170) in a split shape so as not to restrict the upper end of the catch portion (61) in the second state (S20).

[0135] A fixing groove (112) may be formed in the support bar (110) to correspond to a fixing hook (176). The cover link (170) is switched from a first state (S10) to a second state (S20) in which it rotates in a second rotational direction (Z2) to connect to a slider (120'), and the cover link (170) is temporarily elastically deformed so that the fixing hook (176) can be seated in the fixing groove (112).

[0136] The cover link (170) may further include a gripping portion (179) in an area adjacent to the fixed hook (176). The user can switch the cover link (170) from a first state (S10) to a second state (S20) or from a second state (S20) to a first state (S10) by applying force to the gripping portion (179).

[0137] The optional connection structure of the swing hook (130') to the slider (120') will be described in detail later.

[0138] Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, a pair of plate springs (139) may be provided in a pair of pressure parts (131'). A pair of plate springs (139) may be placed between a pair of pressure parts (131'). A pair of plate springs (139) may be placed facing each other. The spacing between the plate springs may be varied according to the thickness of the bottom of the catch portion (61b). Thus, even if catch portions (613, 614) of various thicknesses are placed between a pair of pressure parts (131'), the bottom of the catch portion (61b) can be stably supported.

[0139] FIG. 16 is a perspective view of a part of the clothing hanger shown in FIG. 13. FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the clothing hanger of FIG. 16 with the hanger cover removed. FIG. 18 is an exploded view of the clothing hanger shown in FIG. 17. FIG. 19 is a perspective view of a swing hook of a clothing hanger included in a clothing care device according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 20 is a perspective view with one of the pair of pressure parts of FIG. 19 removed. FIG. 21 is a side view with one of the pair of pressure parts of FIG. 19 removed. FIG. 22 is a perspective view of a cover link of a clothing hanger included in a clothing care device according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 23 is a front view of a swing hook of a clothing hanger included in a clothing care device according to another embodiment of the present invention and a swing hook. FIG. 24 is a drawing of FIG. 15 with the support bar, support member, and hanger cover removed.

[0140] The clothing hanger (100') may further include a sliding base (150') provided to support a slider (120'), a motor (not shown) providing driving force for the reciprocating motion of the slider (120'), an interlocking part (140) for transmitting the rotational force of the motor (not shown) to the slider (120'), and a hanger cover (160) including a cover hole (161) so that a swing hook (130') protrudes into the management room (30). Since the specific structure of these is as described above, redundant descriptions are omitted, and the different structure is described in detail.

[0141] The swing hook (130') and the cover link (170) can be optionally connected to the slider (120') depending on the direction of rotation. Therefore, unlike the swing hook (130) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the swing hook (130') according to another embodiment of the present invention can be provided to be detachably connected to the slider (120').

[0142] To allow the swing hook (130') to be optionally connected to the slider (120'), the swing hook (130') may include a connecting projection (136), and the slider (120') may include a connecting groove (122).

[0143] The connecting projection (136) may protrude in the opposite direction to the pair of pressure parts (131'). The pair of pressure parts (131') may extend in a second direction (D2) that intersects the support bar (110). The connecting projection (136) may protrude in the opposite direction to the second direction (D2).

[0144] The coupling projection (136) may include a projection head (137) inserted into the coupling groove (122), a guide plate (138) formed to correspond to the cross-section of the guide chamber (133C) to which the projection head (137) is fixed, and a guide cylinder (138') to which a guide spring (134) is connected.

[0145] The swing hook (130') may further include a guide chamber (133C) formed within the body of the swing hook (130') into which a coupling projection (136) is inserted so as to be slidable, and a guide spring (134) provided to press the coupling projection (136) in a direction opposite to the second direction (D2).

[0146] A guide chamber (133C) may be formed in the bent portion (133) of the swing hook (130'). The guide chamber (133C) may include a chamber opening (133a) that opens toward the direction opposite to the second direction (D2). The projection head (137) of the coupling projection (136) may protrude toward the slider (120') through the chamber opening (133a). The projection head (137) of the coupling projection (136) may protrude toward the direction opposite to the second direction (D2) through the chamber opening (133a).

[0147] The guide plate (138) of the coupling projection (136) may be formed to be wider than the cross-sectional area of ​​the chamber opening (133a). The guide plate (138) is provided to slide while being supported by the inner wall of the guide chamber (133C) inside the guide chamber (133C), and since its movement is restricted by the chamber opening (133a), the coupling projection (136) may be prevented from being completely detached from the swing hook (130'). The edge of the guide plate (138) may be provided in a shape corresponding to the cross-section of the guide chamber (133C).

[0148] The coupling projection (136) may include a guide cylinder (138') protruding from the guide plate (138) toward the second direction (D2). The guide cylinder (138') may be connected to a guide spring (134) fixed inside the body of the swing hook (130'). The diameter of the guide cylinder (138') may be provided to correspond to the diameter of the cylindrical guide spring (134). The guide cylinder (138') may be provided to press the coupling projection (136) in the opposite direction to the second direction (D2).

[0149] The swing hook (130') may further include a link slit (135) penetrating the body of the swing hook (130') to be connected to the cover link (170). Details regarding the link slit (135) will be described in detail later.

[0150] Referring to FIGS. 22 and 23, the cover link (170) may further include a link body (171), a link shaft projection (173) supported by a sliding base (150'), and a link rod (174) connecting the cover link (170) and a swing hook (130').

[0151] The body of the cover link (170) may be provided in a roughly hook shape as described above. A fixing hook (176) may be provided at one end of the hook shape, and a pair of opposing link plates (172) may be provided at the other end of the hook shape. The link plates (172) may be provided in a roughly circular shape.

[0152] The cover link (170) may include a pair of link shaft protrusions (173) supported on a sliding base (150'). The pair of link shaft protrusions (173) may be located on the rotation axis (Y3) of the cover link and may protrude from both sides of the link body (171). Specifically, the pair of link shaft protrusions (173) may each protrude from the center of a pair of link plates (172) toward both sides of the cover link (170). The pair of link shaft protrusions (173) may be supported by a cover link support (154, see FIG. 18) of the sliding base (150').

[0153] The link rod (174) can be positioned between a pair of link shaft protrusions (173). That is, the link rod (174) can be positioned between a pair of link plates (172). The link rod (174) can be fixed to a pair of link plates (172). The link rod (174) can be provided in the shape of a thin bar. The link rod (174) can be spaced apart from the rotation axis (Y3) of the cover link (170) and can extend parallel to the rotation axis (Y3) of the cover link (170). The link rod (174) can be fixed to the bottom of a pair of link plates (172) in a first state (S10). Accordingly, as the cover link (170) rotates in the second direction (Z2), the link rod (174) may be arranged to move in the opposite direction to the second direction (D2) and simultaneously move in the third direction (D3) which is perpendicular to the first direction (D1) and the second direction (D2) and faces upward. The link rod (174) may be inserted into the link slit (135).

[0154] As described above, the swing hook (130') may further include a link slit (135) penetrating the body of the swing hook (130') to be connected to the cover link (170). The link slit (135) may be formed in a direction parallel to the third direction. The width (L1) of the link slit (135) may correspond to the diameter of the link rod (174). Since the width (L1) of the link slit (135) corresponds to the diameter of the link rod (174), the relative movement of the link rod (174) within the link slit (135) with respect to the link slit (135) may be restricted in a direction parallel to the second direction (D2).

[0155] The height (L2) of the link slit (135) can correspond to the magnitude of displacement in the third direction (D3) between the lowest position of the link rod (174) in the first state (S10) and the highest position of the link rod (174) in the second state (S20).

[0156] As the cover link (170) rotates in the second direction (Z2), the link rod (174) may be arranged to move in the opposite direction to the second direction (D2) and simultaneously move in the third direction (D3) which is perpendicular to the first direction (D1) and the second direction (D2) and faces upward. The link rod (174) may only move in a direction parallel to the third direction (D3) within the link slit (135).

[0157] Therefore, even if the cover link (170) rotates in the second direction (Z2), the swing hook (130') moves in the opposite direction to the second direction (D2), and movement to the third direction (D3) may not occur. Similarly, even if the cover link (170) rotates in the first direction (Z1), the swing hook (130') moves in the second direction (D2), and movement to the third direction (D3) may not occur.

[0158] Referring to FIGS. 22 and 23, the cover link (170) may further include a pair of swing springs (175) that wrap around the link rod (174) and are positioned at both ends of the link slit (135). The diameter of the pair of swing springs (175) may be provided to be larger than the width (L1) of the link slit (135). Each end of the pair of swing springs (175) may be supported by the link slit (135) and a pair of link plates (172). The pair of swing springs (175) may press the body of the swing hook so that the swing hook is positioned at the center of the link rod (174).

[0159] FIG. 25 is a side view of the cover link, swing hook, and support bar in a first state. FIG. 26 is a side view of the cover link, swing hook, and support bar in a second state. FIG. 27 is a side view showing the state in which the connecting projection of the swing hook is not connected to the connecting groove of the slider while the cover link is fixed to the support bar.

[0160] Below, we will describe the selective connection structure between the swing hook (130') and the slider (120') according to the rotational direction of the link cover (170).

[0161] Referring to FIG. 25, the link cover (170) can be arranged in a first state (S10) by rotating in a first rotational direction (Z1) to disconnect the swing hook (130') from the slider (120'). The link rod (174) can be arranged to be fixed to the bottom of a pair of link plates (172) in the first state (S10) and positioned at the bottom of the link slit (135). In the first state (S10), the connecting projection (136) of the swing hook (130') is not inserted into the connecting groove (122) of the slider (120'), so the slider (120') and the swing hook (130') can remain disconnected. Therefore, even if the slider (120') moves back and forth, the swing hook (130') can remain in place.

[0162] Referring to FIG. 26, the link cover (170) can be provided in a second state (S20) that is rotated in a second rotational direction (Z2) and connected to the slider (120').

[0163] When the link cover (170) rotates in the second rotation direction (Z2), the link rod (174) moves in the second direction (D2) and the third direction (D3). Specifically, as the cover link (170) rotates in the second direction (Z2), the link rod (174) may be configured to move in the opposite direction to the second direction (D2) and simultaneously move in the third direction (D3), which is perpendicular to the first direction (D1) and the second direction (D2) and faces upward.

[0164] As described above, the height (L2) of the link slit (135) corresponds to the magnitude of the displacement in the third direction (D3) between the lowest position of the link rod (174) in the first state (S10) and the highest position of the link rod (174) in the second state (S20). Therefore, even if the cover link (170) rotates in the second direction (Z2), the swing hook (130') moves in the opposite direction to the second direction (D2), and movement in the third direction (D3) may not occur.

[0165] The swing hook (130') moves in the opposite direction to the second direction (D2), and the connecting projection (136) can be inserted into the connecting groove (122). Thus, the swing hook (130') and the slider (120') can be connected, and the reciprocating motion process of the swing hook (130') and the slider (120') can proceed in the same way as described in FIG. 12.

[0166] Referring to FIG. 27, even if the swing hook (130') moves in the opposite direction to the second direction (D2), the coupling projection (136) may not be inserted into the coupling groove (122) depending on the position of the slider (120'). However, the coupling projection (136) is provided with a structure that allows it to slide inside the slide chamber (133C), and as the slider (120') reciprocates, at the moment the coupling groove is positioned at a location corresponding to the coupling projection (136) at a specific moment, the coupling projection (136) can be pressed in the direction of insertion into the coupling groove (122) by the guide spring (134). Thus, it can be placed in the second state (S20) shown in FIG. 26. Since the swing hook (130') and the slider (120') are connected, the subsequent reciprocating motion process of the swing hook (130') and the slider (120') can proceed in the same way as described in FIG. 12.

[0167] Specific embodiments have been illustrated and described above. However, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art may make various modifications without departing from the essence of the technical concept of the invention as described in the following claims.
