Description

trouser hanger

[0001] The present invention relates to a pants hanger.

[0002] In general, a pants hanger is used to hang pants on a designated hanger, such as a pole installed in a closet or a nail driven into a wall. There are known types, such as a folding type that hangs pants by folding them and a clip type that hangs pants by holding them.

[0003] A folding-type trouser hanger includes a trouser hanger that hangs trousers roughly folded in half, and a hook that attaches the trouser hanger to a designated hanger. However, with a folding-type trouser hanger, trousers often slip off the trouser hanger because they are not secured to the trouser hanger. In particular, because trousers must be folded in half before hanging, they often wrinkle in the center. A clip-type trouser hanger is widely used today because it can alleviate the problem of trousers slipping off, which is a disadvantage of the folding-type trouser hanger.

[0004] Figure 1 is a drawing showing a conventional tong-type pants hanger.

[0005] A conventional tong-type pants hanger, as illustrated in Fig. 1, includes a main body (2) forming a center, tong-connecting pins (4a, 4b) each placed across both ends of the main body (2), tongs (5a, 5b) each provided at an end of the tong-connecting pins (4a, 4b), and a hook (3) provided at the top of the main body (2). Accordingly, a user can hang pants by clamping the bottom of the pants to each tong and then hooking the hook to a fixing member. In particular, the clamping process is performed in such a way that the user holds the bottom of the pants by hand, clamps first with one tong, and then clamps with the remaining tong while stretching the bottom of the pants taut by hand.

[0006] However, the existing clamp-type pants hanger has a problem in that the outer surface of the pants' bottom is damaged by the clamp because all the load of the pants is concentrated on the bottom of the pants where the clamp is clamped, there is a problem in that the clamp marks are left on the outer surface of the pants' bottom, there is a problem in that it takes a long time to hang the pants because it takes time to tighten the bottom of the pants during the clamping process, and depending on the material of the pants, there is a problem in that the bottom of the pants sticks to each other or slips against each other where the outer surfaces meet, causing the clothes to fray.

[0007] In addition, the existing tong-type trouser hanger has a problem in that it takes up a lot of space in the limited closet due to the tongs (5a, 5b), and when the existing tong-type trouser hanger is put in or taken out of the closet, there is a problem in that the tongs of adjacent trouser hangers interfere with each other.

[0008] The technical problem of the present invention is to provide a pants hanger that can prevent damage to the outer surface of pants when hanging pants.

[0009] Another technical object of the present invention is to provide a pants hanger that can quickly and easily hang pants.

[0010] Another technical object of the present invention is to provide a pants hanger that can keep pants tighter without using hands or elastic members.

[0011] Another technical challenge of the present invention is to provide a pants hanger that can maximize the use of limited space in a closet.

[0012] In order to achieve the above object, a pants hanger according to an embodiment of the present invention is a pants hanger for hanging pants on a fixing member such as a clothes hanger bar of a wardrobe, and includes: a hook for hanging pants on the fixing member; and one or more pants inner fixing parts provided at a lower end of the hook for fixing the inner surface of the pants.

[0013] The inner fixing portion of the above pants can be fixed to the inner surface of the pants by touching one side and the other side of the inner surface of the pants and spreading the one side and the other side of the inner surface of the pants by the force when the pants move downward due to gravity.

[0014] The inner fixing part of the pants may include first and second inner contact members that contact one side and the other side of the inner surface of the pants, respectively; and a spreading unit that is provided between the first inner contact member and the second inner contact member and spreads the first and second inner contact members when the pants move downward due to gravity.

[0015] The above-mentioned spreading unit may include: a central member provided at the lower end of the hook; a first link member provided with both ends rotatably between the central member and the first inner contact member; and a second link member provided with both ends rotatably between the central member and the second inner contact member.

[0016] The first and second link members may be provided symmetrically left and right with respect to the center member.

[0017] The above-mentioned spreading unit may further include a first friction member provided on a portion of the first inner contact member that contacts one side of the inner surface of the pants and prevents slipping with respect to the inner surface of the pants; and a second friction member provided on a portion of the second inner contact member that contacts the other side of the inner surface of the pants and prevents slipping with respect to the inner surface of the pants.

[0018] Each of the first and second friction members may be made of a silicone material.

[0019] The above-mentioned spreading unit may further include a first downward rotation prevention member provided on one side of the central member and preventing the first link member from being rotated downward by a first set angle or more; and a second downward rotation prevention member provided on the other side of the central member and preventing the second link member from being rotated downward by a second set angle or more.

[0020] Each of the first and second set angles may be an angle at which each of the first and second link members is perpendicular to the center member.

[0021] Each of the first and second inner contact members may have a long shape, and each of the first and second link members may have its respective end rotatably provided about the length center of the first and second inner contact members, respectively.

[0022] The above hook and the above center member may be formed as one body.

[0023] Each of the first and second link members may include a length adjusting member capable of adjusting its length.

[0024] The one or more inner trouser fixing parts may include a first inner trouser fixing part branched from the lower end of the hook and fixing the inner side of the first hem of the trouser; and a second inner trouser fixing part branched from the lower end of the hook and fixing the inner side of the second hem of the trouser.

[0025] As described above, the pants hanger according to the embodiment of the present invention can have the following effects.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pants hanger for hanging pants on a fixing member such as a clothes hanger bar of a closet or a hook on a wall is provided, which comprises a hook and at least one inner pant fixing part, so that the pants hanger of the present invention can be hung on a fixing member such as a clothes hanger bar of a closet or a hook on a wall by the hook while the inner surface of the pants is fixed through the inner pant fixing part, and in particular, by fixing the inner surface of the pants, the outer surface of the pants can be prevented from being damaged, unlike a conventional tong-type pants hanger that pinches and fixes the outer surface of the pants.

[0027] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the inner side fixing part of the pants is provided with a technical configuration in which, when the pants move downward by gravity while being in contact with one side and the other side of the inner side of the pants, the pants are fixed to the inner side of the pants by spreading the one side and the other side of the inner side of the pants by the force thereof, so that, unlike a conventional tong-type pants hanger that fixes the outer side of the pants by gripping it with a tong, the gripping process (clamping process) is omitted, so that the pants can be hung more quickly and easily.

[0028] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the inner fixing part of the pants provides a technical configuration including first and second inner contact members and a spreading unit, when the pants move downward by gravity while the first and second inner contact members are in contact with one side and the other side of the inner surface of the pants, respectively, the first and second inner contact members can be spread apart by the spreading unit, so that sufficient force can be provided to keep the pants tighter only by the gravity that moves the pants downward, and ultimately, no separate external force such as elastic force is required, that is, no separate elastic member is required, so that the configuration of the pants hanger of the present invention can be simplified compared to a technology using an elastic member.

[0029] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the spreading unit provides a technical configuration including a center member, a first link member, and a second link member, when the first inner contact member is in contact with one side of the inner surface of the pants and the second inner contact member is in contact with the other side of the inner surface of the pants and the pants are released while the hook is held by hand, the pants move downward due to gravity, and the first and second inner contact members move downward, and as the first and second link members rotate, the first and second inner contact members can spread apart from each other, so that ultimately, the inner surface of the pants can be firmly fixed to the first and second inner contact members by this spreading, and the pants can be prevented from wrinkling as the one side and the other side of the inner surface of the pants are pulled taut, and since the spreading unit etc. is structured to rotate inside the pants, unlike existing tong-type pants hangers, the space inside the wardrobe can be maximized.

[0030] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the spreading unit provides a technical configuration further including a first friction member and a second friction member, so that slipping between the first inner contact member and one side of the inner surface of the pants can be prevented through the first friction member, and slipping between the second inner contact member and the other side of the inner surface of the pants can be prevented through the second friction member, so that a phenomenon in which the first and second inner contact members in contact with the inner surface of the pants slip out from the inner surface of the pants while the pants are moving downward due to gravity can be prevented in advance.

[0031] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the spreading unit further provides a technical configuration including a first downward rotation prevention member and a second downward rotation prevention member, the first and second link members can be prevented from being rotated downward more than a set angle, so that the first and second link members can be smoothly rotated upward while inserting the inner trouser fixing part into the inside of the trousers, that is, the gap between the first and second inner contact members can be narrowed, so that the insertion can be smoothly performed. For reference, due to the absence of the first downward rotation prevention member and the second downward rotation prevention member, if each of the first and second link members is further rotated downward at a point at a right angle to the center member, the first and second link members will be in a state of sagging downward before the inner trouser fixing part is inserted into the inside of the trousers, so that the user may have the inconvenience of having to hold the first and second link members with his or her hand to prevent them from being rotated more than the set angle for smooth insertion.

[0032] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, since each of the first and second link members is provided with a technical configuration in which each end thereof is rotatably provided at the center of the length of the first and second inner contact members, when the first and second inner contact members are spread apart by the rotation of the first and second link members and come into contact with the inner surface of the pants, the first and second inner contact members can evenly distribute force to the contacted portion, thereby preventing damage to the pants by distributing the force applied to the pants.

[0033] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, each of the first and second link members is provided with a technical configuration further including a length adjusting portion capable of adjusting its length, so that the length of the first and second link members can be adjusted according to the width of the inner side of the pants (i.e., the inner circumference of the pants).

[0034] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, since one or more inner trouser fixing parts are provided with a technical configuration including a first inner trouser fixing part and a second inner trouser fixing part, the bottom of the trouser can be fixed upwards by turning the upper and lower parts of the trouser and dividing the trouser into two parts.

[0040] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. However, the present invention may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0041] FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of a pants hanger according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0042]

[0043] A pants hanger (100) according to a first embodiment of the present invention is a pants hanger for hanging pants (20) on a fixing member (10), such as a clothes hanger bar of a closet or a hook on a wall, and may include a hook (110) and an inner pants fixing member (120), as illustrated in FIG. 2. Hereinafter, each component will be described in detail with continued reference to FIG. 2.

[0044] A hook (110) is a component for hanging on a fixed member (10), such as a clothes hanger bar of a wardrobe or a hook on a wall. As shown in Fig. 2, the upper end of this hook (110) is bent into a hook shape, so that it can be hung on a clothes hanger bar or a hook or nail on a wall.

[0045] The inner trouser fastener (120) is a component for fastening the inner surface of the trouser (20). As shown in Fig. 2, the inner trouser fastener (120) may be provided at the lower end of the hook (110).

[0046] Accordingly, since the components as above are provided, the pants hanger (100) of the present invention can be hung on a fixing member (10) such as a clothes hanger bar of a closet or a hook on a wall by a hook (110) while fixing the inner surface of the pants (20) through the pants inner fixing part (120), and in particular, by fixing the inner surface of the pants (20), the outer surface of the pants can be prevented from being damaged, unlike a conventional tong-type pants hanger that picks up and fixes the outer surface of the pants.

[0047] Hereinafter, referring again to FIG. 2, the inner fixing part (120) of the pants will be described in more detail.

[0048] The inner trouser fixing member (120), as illustrated in FIG. 2, may have a mechanism that contacts one side and the other side of the inner surface of the trouser (20) and, when the trouser (20) moves downward due to gravity, separates the one side and the other side of the inner surface of the trouser (20) by the force thereof and fixes the trouser to the inner surface of the trouser (20). Therefore, unlike a conventional trouser hanger of the clamp type that grips and fixes the outer surface of the trouser with a trouser clamp, the trouser (20) can be hung more quickly and easily by omitting the gripping process (clamping process).

[0049] Specifically, the inner fastening part (120) of the pants may include first and second inner contact members (121)(122) and a spreading unit (123), as illustrated in FIG. 2. Each of the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) may contact one side and the other side of the inner surface of the pants (20), respectively. The spreading unit (123) is provided between the first inner contact member (121) and the second inner contact member (122), and may spread the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) when the pants (20) move downward due to gravity. Accordingly, when the pants (20) move downward by gravity while the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) are in contact with one side and the other side of the inner surface of the pants (20), respectively, the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) can be opened by the opening unit (123), so that sufficient force can be provided to keep the pants (20) more taut only by the gravity that moves the pants (20) downward, and ultimately, no separate external force such as elastic force is required, that is, no separate elastic member is required, so that the configuration of the pants hanger (100) of the present invention can be simplified compared to a technology using an elastic member.

[0050] Furthermore, the spreading unit (123) may include a central member (123a), a first link member (123b), and a second link member (123c), as illustrated in FIG. 2. The central member (123a) may be provided at the lower end of the hook (110). The first link member (123b) may be provided so that both ends thereof are rotatably provided between the central member (123a) and the first inner contact member (121), and the second link member (123c) may be provided so that both ends thereof are rotatably provided between the central member (123a) and the second inner contact member (122). Accordingly, when the pants (20) are released while the first inner contact member (121) is in contact with one side of the inner surface of the pants (20) and the second inner contact member (122) is in contact with the other side of the inner surface of the pants (20), and the hook (110) is held by hand, the pants (20) are moved downward by gravity, and the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) are moved downward, and the first and second link members (123b)(123c) are rotated, and the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) can be spread apart from each other, so that ultimately, the inner surface of the pants (20) can be firmly fixed to the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) by this spreading, and the inner surface of the pants (20) can be prevented from being wrinkled as the space between one side and the other side of the inner surface of the pants (20) is pulled taut.

[0051] In addition, the first and second link members (123b) (123c) may be provided symmetrically left and right with respect to the center member (123a), as illustrated in FIG. 2. Accordingly, a force of the same magnitude and direction may be transmitted to one side and the other side of the inner surface of the pants (20) where the first and second inner contact members (121) (122) respectively contact each other through the first and second link members (123b) (123c).

[0052] In addition, the spreading unit (123) may further include a first friction member (123d) and a second friction member (123e), as illustrated in FIG. 2. The first friction member (123d) may be provided on a portion of the first inner contact member (121) that contacts one side of the inner surface of the pants (20) and may prevent slipping with respect to the inner surface of the pants (20), and the second friction member (123e) may be provided on a portion of the second inner contact member (122) that contacts the other side of the inner surface of the pants (20) and may prevent slipping with respect to the inner surface of the pants (20). Therefore, the phenomenon in which the first and second inner contact members (121) (122) that contact the inner surface of the pants (20) slip off from the inner surface of the pants (20) while the pants (20) are moved downward by gravity can be prevented in advance. For example, each of the first and second friction members (123d) (123e) may be made of a silicone material.

[0053] In addition, referring back to FIG. 2, each of the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) may have an elongated shape, and each of the first and second link members (123b)(123c) may have its respective ends rotatably provided about the length centers of the first and second inner contact members (121)(122). Therefore, when the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) are spread apart by the rotation of the first and second link members (123b)(123c) and come into contact with the inner surface of the pants (20), the first and second inner contact members (121)(122) can evenly distribute force to the contacted portions, so that the force applied to the inner surface of the pants (20) is not concentrated on a specific portion but is evenly distributed over the entire contact surface, thereby preventing damage to the pants (20).

[0054] In addition, the central member (123a) may be formed as a single body with the hook (110), as illustrated in FIG. 2. Accordingly, the force applied between the hook (110) and the central member (123a) while the pants (20) are hung can be more firmly supported.

[0055]

[0056] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, a pants hanger (200) according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0057] Figure 3 is a schematic drawing of a pants hanger according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] The pants hanger (200) according to the second embodiment of the present invention is identical to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, except that the first and second downward rotation prevention members (223f) (223g) are further included in the opening unit (123), as shown in FIG. 3, and thus, the following description will focus on this.

[0059] The first downward rotation prevention member (223f) may be provided on one side of the central member (123a) and may prevent the first link member (123b) from being rotated downward by more than a first set angle. The second downward rotation prevention member (223g) may be provided on the other side of the central member (123a) and may prevent the second link member (123c) from being rotated downward by more than a second set angle.

[0060] Accordingly, the first and second link members (123b) (123c) can be prevented from rotating downward by a set angle or more, so that the first and second link members (123b) (123c) can be smoothly rotated upward while inserting the inner trouser fixing part (120) into the inside of the trouser (20), i.e., the gap between the first and second inner contact members (121) (122) can be narrowed and smoothly inserted. For reference, if the first downward rotation prevention member (223f) and the second downward rotation prevention member (223g) are absent, and each of the first and second link members (123b) (123c) is rotated further downward from a point at a right angle to the center member (123a), the first and second link members (123b) (123c) will be in a state of sagging downward before the inner trouser fixing part (120) is inserted into the inner side of the trouser (20), so that the user may have to hold the first and second link members (123b) (123c) with his or her hand to prevent them from rotating more than a set angle for smooth insertion, which may be inconvenient.

[0061] For example, each of the first and second set angles may be an angle at which each of the first and second link members (123b) (123c) is perpendicular to the center member (123a).

[0062]

[0063] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 4, a pants hanger (300) according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0064] Figure 4 is a schematic drawing of a pants hanger according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] The pants hanger (300) according to the third embodiment of the present invention is identical to the first or second embodiment of the present invention described above except for the first and second link members (323b) (323c), as shown in FIG. 4, and thus will be mainly described below.

[0066] Each of the first and second link members (323b)(323c) may include a length adjusting portion (B30) capable of adjusting its length. Accordingly, the length of the first and second link members (323b)(323c) may be adjusted according to the width of the inner side of the pants (20) (i.e., the inner circumference of the pants).

[0067] For example, each of the first and second link members (323b) (323c) can have its length adjusted in a telescopic manner as shown in FIG. 4, and can have a plurality of adjusting holes (B31). When the length is adjusted, the length can be fixed by inserting a fixing member (B32) into the corresponding adjusting hole.

[0068]

[0069] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 5, a pants hanger (400) according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0070] Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a pants hanger according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In particular, Fig. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing a 90-degree rotation about a central member as an axis so as to have a 90-degree phase difference with Fig. 1.

[0071] The pants hanger (400) according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is identical to any one of the first, second and third embodiments of the present invention described above, except that at least one pants inner fixing part (120) includes first and second body inner fixing parts (120A) (120B), as shown in FIG. 5, and therefore, the following description will focus on this.

[0072] The first inner trouser fixing portion (120A) can be branched at the lower end of the hook (110) and can fix the inner side of the first hem (21) of the trouser (20), and the second inner trouser fixing portion (120B) can be branched at the lower end of the hook (110) and can fix the inner side of the second hem (22) of the trouser (20). Accordingly, the trouser (20) can be turned upside down and the two branched hems (21) (22) of the trouser can be fixed with each facing upward.

[0073] For reference, the first and second pants inner fixing parts (120A) (120B) are made of the same components as the pants inner fixing part (120) described above, so a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0074]

[0075] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art using the basic concept of the present invention defined in the following claims also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0076] The present invention relates to a pants hanger and has industrial applicability.
