Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.
[0042] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms such as “mounted”, “connected with” and “connect” shall be understood broadly, for example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integrated connection; they may refer to mechanical connection; they may refer to direct connection, or indirect connection by an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms used in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.Embodiment 1
[0043] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the quick-to-use clothes hanger suitable for small collars according to this embodiment comprises a hand-held end 1, at least one movable arm 1, a releasing assembly 3 and a returning component 4, wherein
[0044] the movable arm 2 is mounted on the hand-held end 1;
[0045] the releasing assembly 3 is mounted on the hand-held end 1 and in linkage with the movable arm 2 to drive the movable arm 2 close to the hand-held end 1 to pass through a small collar; or to drive the movable arm 2 away from the hand-held end 1 to open and to lock the movable arm 2 to support clothes;
[0046] the returning component 4 is mounted on the hand-held end 1 and connected with the movable arm 2 and / or the releasing assembly 3.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the releasing assembly 3 comprises a release rod 31 and a locking link rod 32;
[0048] the locking link rod 32 is respectively connected with the release rod 31 and the movable arm 2 to automatically lock the movable arm 2 when the movable arm 2 returns.
[0049] Further, the quick-to-use clothes hanger suitable for small collars in this embodiment further comprises a switch component 5, arranged on the hand-held end 1 and connected with or in linkage connection with the release rod 31.
[0050] This embodiment features simple structure and reasonable design. It is equivalent to that one end of the clothes hanger is a fixed arm 12 which is arranged as one with the hand-held end. In use, a user holds the hand-held end 1 with one hand and presses the switch component 5 with this hand, and the switch component 5 then drives the release rod 31 to be in linkage with the movable arm 2 so that the movable arm is driven to close to pass through the small collar quickly. After the user releases the switch component 5, the returning component 4 acts so that the movable arm 2 is returned to open. The movable arm 2 is locked by the locking link rod to hang clothes. In this way, the clothes hanger can be operated to hang the small-collar clothes quickly with one hand.
[0051] In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 1 for the schematic diagram of the movable arm 2 in an open state and in this case, the locking link rod 32 locks the movable arm 2 and the clothes can be hung firmly. Referring to FIG. 2 for the schematic diagram of the movable arm 2 in a closed state and in this case, because the movable arm 2 is in the closed state, the clothes hanger can flexibly pass through the small collar to hang the clothes.
[0052] In this embodiment, due to the arrangement of the returning component 4, the movable arm 2 can be conveniently driven to return. For clothes with small support strength requirements, the returning component 4 may also be omitted, but the movable arm 2 needs to be returned manually in use, and the clothes may be hung infirmly and may get loose, causing inconvenience.
[0053] In this embodiment, in order to increase the use convenience, a hook 11 may be arranged on the hand-held end 1. With a simple structure, the hook 11 can be hung more conveniently than a clip and other structures.
[0054] The quick-to-use clothes hanger in this embodiment can be used widely, almost across all clothes hanger fields, for clothes drying, storage, or supermarket use. Although the movable arm 2 is used for supporting clothes, the releasing assembly 3 can provide strong support and high load bearing after returning and locking, and it is very easy to press a release button for unlocking to take the clothes hanger out. Most importantly, different from the traditional quick-to-release clothes hanger with complex structure and high cost, the clothes hanger provided in this embodiment has simple structure, low cost and strong market competitiveness.
[0055] When using the clothes hanger provided in this embodiment, the user need to hold clothes with one hand and can do the following procedures with only the other hand: ① closing the clothes hanger; ② pass the clothes hanger through a collar; ③ open the clothes hanger; and ④ locking the clothes hanger. The entire use process can be completed in at most 1.2 seconds, while it usually takes 5-6 seconds to use ordinary clothes hangers to hang small-collar clothes, and if the material of the clothes has poor stretch, it will take longer. To take the clothes off the clothes hanger provided in this embodiment, the user only needs to press the releasing assembly 3 and it takes about 0.5 seconds, while it takes 2-3 seconds for the ordinary clothes hangers. Therefore, the clothes hanger in this embodiment can be operated and used more conveniently.Embodiment 2
[0056] In this embodiment, the switch component 5 is configured as a switch button for press operation.
[0057] Referring to FIGS. 1-16, in order to prevent slip during pressing, an anti-slip structure may be arranged on the switch component 5. Specifically, the anti-slip structure may be configured as anti-slip lines or a press ring.
[0058] In use, the switching component 5 may be connected with or in linkage connection with the release rod 31, and then extends out of the hand-held end 1 for a pressing operation.
[0059] Referring to FIGS. 1-3 and 7-8, the switch component 5 extends out from the bottom of the hand-held end 1. Referring to FIGS. 4, 5-6, and 9-16, the switch component 5 extends out from the top of hand-held end 1, which makes the pressing operation more convenient and the use quicker. In addition, because the switch component 5 is arranged above the hand-held end 1, this arrangement is suitable for turtleneck clothes. If the switch component 5 is arranged at the bottom of the hand-held end 1, the switch component 5 will sink under the collar and the user cannot see the switch component 5 when taking the clothes off the hanger, resulting in inconvenient use.Embodiment 3
[0060] Referring to FIGS. 4-6, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the releasing assembly 3 comprises a movable link rod 33, the movable arm 2 is provided with a sliding groove 21, and one end of the movable link rod 33 extends into the sliding groove 21 and pushes against an inner wall of the sliding groove 21 in a movable manner.
[0061] In this embodiment, the releasing assembly 3 is configured as a movable link rod 33, and the movable arm 2 is provided with a sliding groove 21, so that the movable link rod 33 and the movable arm 2 are in a sliding connection for linkage control. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient, but there is loss in the sliding process.
[0062] Referring to FIG. 6, a roller 34 may be arranged at a joint between the movable link rod 33 and the movable arm 2 to greatly reduce friction, thereby reducing loss during sliding and improving durability.Embodiment 4
[0063] Referring to FIGS. 7-9, on the basis of Embodiment 1, two movable arms 2 are provided in this embodiment, and the two movable arms 2 are simultaneously opened or closed for hanging clothes. However, in this embodiment, in use, the two movable arms 2 need to pass through the collar at the same time and align with two sleeves, resulting in a reduction in operation speed. The clothes hanger in this embodiment is not as convenient to use as the clothes hanger in Embodiments 1-3, and in use of the clothes hanger in this embodiment, the release rod 31 needs to be controlled to slide on a midline track, otherwise the movable arm 2 cannot move simultaneously, thereby affecting the use.
[0064] Specifically, the clothes hanger in Embodiments 1-3 is provided with a fixed arm 12, and in use, the fixed arm 12 passes through one sleeve firstly, and then the movable arm 2 passes through the collar and then through the other sleeve. However, in use of the clothes hanger in this embodiment, the release rod 31 needs to be controlled to slide on the midline track, otherwise the movable arm 2 cannot move simultaneously, thereby affecting the use.Embodiment 5
[0065] On the basis of the above embodiments, referring to FIGS. 10-16, In this embodiment, the switch component 5 is arranged above the hand-held end 1, and the locking link rod 32 is connected with the movable arm 2 and the release rod 31 in a movable manner respectively, and the release rod 31 is in linkage connection with the switch component 5. In use, the switch component 5 is pressed and then the release rod 31 is driven to rotate, thereby achieving the linkage control over the movable arm 2. Because the switch component 5 is arranged above the hand-held end 1, this arrangement is suitable for turtleneck clothes. If the switch component 5 is arranged at the bottom of the hand-held end 1, the switch component 5 will sink under the collar and the user cannot see the switch component 5 when taking the clothes off the hanger, resulting in inconvenient use.
[0066] In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in part A in FIG. 16, a wind-proof stopper may be provided near an opening of the hook 11. The wind-proof stopper is integrally formed on the whole clothes hanger to play a windproof role, thereby preventing the clothes hanger from falling during the process of hanging or taking off clothes and improving practicality.
[0067] In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in part B in FIG. 16, a hanging hook may be arranged on one side of the fixed arm 12, and in other embodiments, a hanging hook may also be optionally arranged at an appropriate position on the hand-held end 1 and / or the fixed arm 12, so that another clothes hanger can be hung on the hanging hook, thereby improving the storage practicability.
[0068] The above embodiments only describe several implementations of the present disclosure, and their description is specific and detailed, but cannot therefore be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. It should be noted that those of ordinary skill in the art may further make variations and improvements without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, and these all should fall within the scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of the present disclosure shall be based on the appended claims.
