Description

Shape retainer for bags

[0001] The present invention relates to a shape-maintaining device for a bag, and more particularly, to a shape-maintaining device for a bag that can prevent deformation of the bag during storage.

[0002] Typically, a hanging device is used to hang a bag on a pole or the like, and the hanging device is manufactured in various shapes to connect the bag to the pole or the like.

[0003] This hanging mechanism is composed of an upper hanging part that is bent into a hook shape from the top to be hung on a pole, etc., and a lower hanging part that is connected to the bottom of the upper hanging part and is bent into a hook shape from the bottom to allow the handle of the bag to be hung. By selecting various lengths and shapes of the hanging mechanism, the hanging state and height of the bag can be adjusted in various ways.

[0004] However, since the weight of the bag is continuously applied to the handle of the conventional hanging device, there was a risk of damage and deformation of the top of the handle and the connection between the bag and the handle, and if the bag was made of soft material (fiber, etc.), there was a risk of the bag being displayed in a state deformed by the weight rather than in its original designed form.

[0005] Furthermore, conventional hanging devices position the bag at a similar height to the object being hung (e.g., a hanger, clothing, etc.), which can cause interference between the bag and surrounding objects. This raises concerns about contamination or damage to the bag and the hanger. Furthermore, to prevent interference, a gap must be maintained between the bag and the hanger, limiting the number of items that can be stored.

[0006] In another form, a method of maintaining the shape of the bag by inserting a certain type of filling inside the bag is also widely used, but this method is cumbersome in itself in filling the filling, and since the shape of the bag changes depending on the amount of filling, it is difficult to maintain the storage condition of the bag consistently, and if it is made of a soft material (such as fiber), there is a concern that the bag may be stored folded downward due to gravity.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shape-maintaining device for a bag that can prevent deformation of the bag during storage.

[0008] A shape-maintaining device for a bag according to the present invention is characterized by including an upper hanging portion that can be mounted on a hanging bar, a lower hanging portion that is spaced apart from the lower side of the upper hanging portion and on which a handle of a bag placed on a floor surface is hung, and an elastic working portion that connects the lower side of the upper hanging portion and the upper side of the lower hanging portion and applies a tensile elastic force in the up-and-down direction to elastically pull the handle upward.

[0009] In addition, the elastic member may have a coil spring shape that has a vertical length and extends in a spiral shape along the vertical direction.

[0010] In addition, the upper hanging portion may include an upper body having a lower end joined to an upper end of the elastic action portion, and an upper hanging member that is bent downward to one side from the upper end of the upper body and is placed on the upper end of the hanging bar.

[0011] In addition, the lower hook portion may include a lower body whose upper end is connected to the lower end of the elastic action portion, and a lower hook portion that is bent upward to one side from the lower end of the lower body and is positioned to be hooked to the lower end of the handle.

[0012] In addition, the lower hook may be provided on both sides of the lower body so that the lower end of the handle is individually hooked.

[0013] The present invention elastically pulls the handle of the bag upward, so that the bag does not deform due to gravity, and the shape of the bag is preserved even when stored for a long time, thereby extending the life of the bag. In addition, since the bag is stored in an upright state, it has the effect of allowing the bag to be displayed in its original designed form.

[0014] In addition, the present invention has the effect of allowing for the combined storage of clothes and bags, as the bag is stored in a state of being secured to the bottom surface of the storage space, thereby preventing interference with hangers, clothes, etc., and improving space utilization.

[0031]

[0032] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 8, a shape-maintaining device for a bag according to the present invention is for storing a bag (30) without deformation of its shape, and includes an upper hanging part (100), a lower hanging part (200), and an elastic acting part (300).

[0033] The upper hanging part (100) can be hung on a hanging bar (10) installed in a storage space (21) of a storage cabinet (20), etc., and when hung on a hanging bar (10), the upper hanging part (100) has a structure that allows it to be hung in a position while being secured to the upper end of the hanging bar (10).

[0034] Here, the upper hanging part (100) may include an upper body (110) whose lower end is coupled to the upper end of an elastic action part (300) to be described later, and an upper hanging part (120) that is bent downward to one side from the upper end of the upper body (110) and is placed on the upper end of the hanging bar (10).

[0035] The upper body (110) and the upper hook (120) can be connected as one piece, and various materials can be selectively used. For example, the upper body (110) and the upper hook (120) can use a material such as plastic, and when using a material such as plastic, a metal beam or the like can be inserted into the interior of the upper body (110) and the upper hook (120).

[0036] The upper hook (120) may be bent to form a curve on one side and then bent downward to have a hook shape, and a concave insertion groove may be formed at the bottom of the upper hook (120) so that a hook bar (10) may be inserted. Here, the upper hook (120) may be bent in the longitudinal direction or the width direction of the hook bar (10).

[0037] For example, when the upper hook (120) is installed on the upper end of the hook bar (10), as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the upper end of the hook bar (10) is in close contact with the insertion groove, so the upper hook (120) does not come off in the width direction of the hook bar (10). On the other hand, the upper hook (120) installed on the upper end of the hook bar (10) can be lifted and separated from the upper end of the hook bar (10).

[0038] The lower hanging part (200) is intended to be connected to the handle (31) of the bag (30), and is positioned at a distance from the lower side of the upper hanging part (100) and has a structure in which the handle (10) of the bag (30) placed on the bottom surface is hung.

[0039] Here, the lower hook (200) may include a lower body (210) whose upper end is coupled to the lower end of an elastic member (300) to be described later, and a lower hook (220) that is bent upward to one side from the lower end of the lower body (210) and is positioned to be hooked to the lower end of the handle (31).

[0040] The lower body (210) and the lower hook (220) can be connected as one piece, and various materials can be selectively used. For example, the lower body (210) and the lower hook (220) can use a material such as plastic, and when using a material such as plastic, a metal beam or the like can be inserted into the interior of the lower body (210) and the lower hook (220).

[0041] The lower hook (220) may be bent to form a curve on one side and then bent upwards to form a hook shape, and a concave mounting groove may be formed on the upper portion of the lower hook (220) so that a string-shaped handle (31) may be mounted thereon. Here, the lower hook (220) may be bent in the longitudinal direction or the width direction of the hook bar (10).

[0042] For example, when the handle (31) of the bag (30) is seated at the upper end of the lower hook (220), as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the lower end of the handle (310) is seated in the seating groove of the lower hook (220), so that the handle (31) does not come off in the bending direction of the lower hook (220). On the other hand, the handle (31) seated at the upper end of the lower hook (220) can be lifted and separated from the upper end of the lower hook (220).

[0043] In addition, the lower hooks (220) may be provided on both sides of the lower body (210) so that the lower ends of the handles (31) of the bags (30) can be individually hooked, as shown in Fig. 5. In this case, a pair of lower hooks (220) may be bent in the lengthwise or widthwise direction of the hook bar (10), and the handles (31) provided on the two bags (30) may be hooked to the lower hooks (220), respectively.

[0044] The elastic member (300) is for elastically supporting the handle (31) of the bag (30) upwardly, and connects the lower end of the upper hook (100) and the upper end of the lower hook (200), and applies a tensile elastic force in the vertical direction to elastically pull the handle (31) of the bag (30) upwardly. Here, the elastic member (300) may have a coil spring shape that has a vertical length and extends in a spiral shape along the vertical direction.

[0045] In addition, the width direction thickness, vertical length, material, etc. of the elastic action part (300) can be applied in various ways as needed, and the upper end of the elastic action part (300) can be vertically coupled to the lower end of the upper body (110), and the lower end of the elastic action part (300) can be vertically coupled to the upper end of the lower body (210).

[0046] For example, when the upper hook (120) is mounted on the upper end of the hook bar (10) and the handle (31) of the bag (30) is mounted on the upper end of the lower hook (220), the elastic member (300) is extended downward as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, and the lower end of the bag (30) is mounted on the installation surface.

[0047] At this time, the handle (31) is pulled upward by the tensile elastic force of the elastic action part (300), and the load of the bag (30) is reduced by the tensile elastic force of the elastic action part (300), so the bag (30) does not fold downward by gravity, and since the bag (30) does not fold downward, damage due to deformation does not occur.

[0048] In addition, since the bag (30) is stored in an upright position, the bag can be displayed in its original designed form, and since the bag (30) is stored in a position spaced apart from the lower portion of the hanging bar (10) while being placed on the floor, the hanger (40) and clothing (50) placed on the hanging bar (10) and the bag (30) can be positioned at different heights.

[0049] That is, the present invention is such that the upper hanging portion (100) and the elastic portion (300) are positioned between the hanger (40) and the clothing (50), while the bag (30) is stored while being secured to the bottom surface of the storage space, so that interference with the hanger and the clothing, etc. does not occur, and space utilization can be improved, so that the clothing (50) and the bag (30) can be stored in combination.

[0050] A shape-maintaining device for a bag according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include an upper rotation part (410) that horizontally rotatably connects the lower end of the upper hook part (100) and the upper end of the elastic action part (300), as shown in FIG. 6, and a lower rotation part (420) that horizontally rotatably connects the upper end of the lower hook part (200) and the lower end of the elastic action part (300).

[0051] To explain in more detail, the lower part of the upper body (110) and the upper part of the elastic action part (300) can be divided into upper and lower parts, and the upper rotation part (410) can further include a first rotation axis (411) that protrudes downward from the lower part of the upper body (110) to form a vertical rotation center, and a first shaft hole (412) that is concavely formed in the upper part of the elastic action part (300) so that the lower part of the first rotation axis (411) is vertically inserted.

[0052] In this case, since the first rotation axis (411) can rotate based on the vertical rotation center, the mounting direction of the elastic action part (300) and the lower hanging bar (220) can be easily adjusted based on the upper hanging bar (120), and the direction in which the bag (30) is stored can be freely adjusted through the rotation of the lower hanging bar (220).

[0053] In addition, it may further include a first upper rotary plate (413) that is horizontally coupled to the lower end of the upper body (110), has a larger diameter than the upper body (110), and has a first rotary shaft (411) protruding from the lower end, and a first lower rotary plate (414) that is horizontally coupled to the upper end of the elastic member (300) so as to rotate in close contact with the lower end of the first upper rotary plate (413), and has a first shaft hole (412) formed at the upper end.

[0054] In this case, since the lower end of the first upper rotary plate (413) and the upper end of the first lower rotary plate (414) are rotatably in close contact, when the second lower rotary plate (414) is rotated based on the first upper rotary plate (413), the elastic action part (300) and the lower body (210) can be positioned vertically without being twisted.

[0055] In addition, the upper part of the lower body (210) and the lower part of the elastic action part (300) can be divided into upper and lower parts, and the lower rotation part (420) can further include a second rotation axis (421) that protrudes upward from the upper part of the lower body (210) to form a vertical rotation center, and a second shaft hole (422) that is concavely formed in the upper part of the elastic action part (300) so that the upper part of the second rotation axis (421) is vertically inserted.

[0056] In this case, since the second rotation axis (421) can rotate around the vertical rotation center, the mounting direction of the lower hanging bar (220) can be easily adjusted, and the direction in which the bag (30) is stored can be freely adjusted through the rotation of the lower hanging bar (220).

[0057] In addition, it may further include a second upper rotary plate (423) that is horizontally coupled to the lower end of the elastic action part (300), has a larger diameter than the elastic action part (300), and has a second shaft hole (422) formed concavely at the lower end, and a second lower rotary plate (424) that is horizontally coupled to the upper end of the lower body (210) so as to rotate in close contact with the lower end of the second upper rotary plate (423), and has a second shaft hole (422) formed at the upper end.

[0058] In this case, since the lower part of the second upper rotation plate (423) and the upper part of the second lower rotation plate (424) are rotatably in close contact, when the second lower rotation plate (414) is rotated based on the second upper rotation plate (423), the lower body (210) can be positioned vertically without being twisted.

[0059] Meanwhile, a shape-maintaining device for a bag according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include an upper length-adjusting part (510) that connects the lower end of the upper body (110) and the upper end of the elastic action part (300) and is provided so as to be adjustable in length in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. 7, and a lower length-adjusting part (520) that connects the upper end of the lower body (210) and the lower end of the elastic action part (300) and is provided so as to be adjustable in length in the vertical direction.

[0060] The upper length adjustment part (510) may include a first length adjustment bar (511) that protrudes upward from the upper end of the elastic action part (300) and has a length in the vertical direction, and a first length adjustment groove (512) that is concavely formed at the lower end of the upper body (110) so that the first length adjustment part (511) is coupled in a screw-joint manner.

[0061] The first length adjustment bar (511) has a radial shape that forms a circle so that the length inserted into the first length adjustment groove (512) can be adjusted by rotation, and the screw threads that form a spiral along the radial shape can be continued in the up-and-down direction, and the position of the first length adjustment bar (511) can be adjusted through the relative rotation of the upper body (110) and the elastic action part (300).

[0062] The first length adjustment groove (512) has a shape corresponding to that of the first length adjustment bar (511), and a corresponding screw groove can be formed along the inner surface so as to be engaged with the screw thread formed in the radial direction of the first length adjustment bar (511).

[0063] The lower length adjustment part (520) may include a second length adjustment bar (521) protruding downward from the lower end of the elastic action part (300) and having a length in the vertical direction, and a second length adjustment groove (522) formed concavely on the upper end of the lower body (210) so that the second length adjustment part (521) is coupled in a screw-joint manner.

[0064] The second length adjustment bar (521) has a radial shape that forms a circle so that the length inserted into the second length adjustment groove (522) can be adjusted by rotation, and the screw threads that form a spiral along the radial shape can be continued in the up-and-down direction, and the position of the second length adjustment bar (521) can be adjusted through the relative rotation of the lower body (210) and the elastic action part (300).

[0065] The second length adjustment groove (522) has a shape corresponding to that of the second length adjustment bar (521), and a corresponding screw groove can be formed along the inner surface so as to be engaged with the screw thread formed in the radial direction of the second length adjustment bar (521).

[0066] That is, the distance between the upper hanging bar (120) and the lower hanging bar (220) can be adjusted in various ways by rotating the elastic action part (300) and the upper body (110) and the elastic action part (300) and the lower body (210) in opposite directions, and the height at which the bag (30) is placed can be finely adjusted by adjusting the distance between the upper hanging bar (120) and the lower hanging bar (220).

[0067] Meanwhile, in a shape-maintaining device for a bag according to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, the elastic part (300) can be divided into an upper region and a lower region, and the lower part of the upper region and the upper part of the lower region can be connected in a length-adjustable manner by a connecting-side length-adjusting part (600).

[0068] The connecting side length adjustment part (600) may include a pair of connecting shafts (610) that protrude vertically from the lower end of the upper region and the upper end of the lower region and have a length in the vertical direction, and an adjusting member (620) that is positioned between the upper and lower regions of the elastic action part (300) and has a length in the vertical direction, and has connecting grooves (621) concavely formed at the upper and lower ends so that the connecting shafts (610) are coupled in a screw-joint manner.

[0069] A pair of connecting shafts (610) have a radial shape that allows the length of insertion into the connecting groove (621) to be adjusted by rotation, and threads that form a spiral along the radial direction can be continuously formed in the vertical direction, and the length of movement in the vertical direction can be adjusted by rotation of the adjusting member (620).

[0070] The adjusting member (620) may have a cylindrical shape with a radial circumference so that the user can rotate it in both directions while holding it by hand, and the connecting grooves (621) may have a shape corresponding to the connecting shaft (610), and corresponding screw grooves may be formed along the inner surface so as to engage with screw threads formed in the radial direction of the connecting shaft (610).

[0071] That is, when the adjusting member (620) is rotated in the first direction, the connecting shafts (610) can be moved in opposite directions to increase the vertical length, and when the adjusting member (620) is rotated in the second direction, the connecting shafts (610) can be moved in opposite directions to decrease the vertical length, and the height at which the bag (30) is seated can be finely adjusted by adjusting the distance between the connecting shafts (610).

[0072] As a result, the present invention elastically pulls the handle of the bag (30) upward, so that deformation of the bag (30) does not occur due to gravity, and the shape of the bag (30) can be preserved even when stored for a long time, thereby extending the life of the bag (30), and since the bag (30) is stored in an upright state, the bag (30) can be displayed in its original designed form.

[0073] In addition, since the bag (30) of the present invention is stored in a state of being secured to the bottom surface of the storage space (21), interference with a hanger (40) and clothing (50), etc. does not occur, and space utilization can be improved, so clothing (50) and a bag (30) can be stored in combination.

[0074] Although specific embodiments of the shape-maintaining device for a bag according to the present invention have been described so far, it is obvious that various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.

[0075] Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the claims described below but also by equivalents of the claims.

[0076] That is, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims to be described later rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modified forms derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalent concepts should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.

[0077] The mode for carrying out the invention has been described together with the best mode for carrying out the invention above.

[0078] The present invention has industrial applicability because it can prevent deformation of a bag during storage.
