Description

本発明は衣服用の折り畳みハンガーの折り畳み機構に関するものである。The present invention relates to a folding mechanism for a folding hanger for clothes.

傘を傘立てに挿す様に折り畳みハンガーを収納すれば片付き美観が保てる。しかしながら使い終わった傘は閉じるが、折り畳みハンガーは普及せず嵩張る通常のハンガーが一般的である。普及しないのは、耐久性のある低価格で衣服の掛け外しに優れた費用対効果の良いと感じる製品が無いことが原因といえる。If you store the foldable hanger like you would insert an umbrella into an umbrella stand, you can keep it neat and clean. However, foldable hangers are not popular, and bulky regular hangers are common, although umbrellas are closed after use. The reason why it has not become popular is that there are no products that are durable, low-priced, and have excellent cost-effectiveness for hanging and removing clothes.

ところで衣服用ハンガーに折り畳み機能を持たせる場合に吊元を中心に左右のアームを上側収納・下側収納・前側収納の概ね三つに分類される。アームの上側収納と前側収納は簡単な掛り留めでコンパクト化できる反面、アームの下側収納の様に閉じた状態での衣服の挿入による使用及び取り外しに不向きである。しかしながらアームの下向き収納は左右の収納と衣服の負荷力の回転方向が同一となるため掛り留めの制御機構が必要となるが、その制御機構は素材の弾性力を利用したり金属製のバネを用いたりと生産費や折り畳み形状や操作性に影響を及ぼしている。By the way, when a clothes hanger is provided with a folding function, the left and right arms around the hanger are generally classified into three types: upper storage, lower storage, and front storage. Although the upper arm storage and front storage can be made more compact by simply hanging them, they are not suitable for use and removal by inserting and removing clothing in a closed state, unlike the lower arm storage. However, when storing the arm downwards, the rotating direction of the load force on the clothes is the same as when storing the arm on the left and right, so a control mechanism for hanging is required, but this control mechanism uses the elastic force of the material or a metal spring. This has an impact on production costs, folding shapes, and operability.

折り畳みハンガーは、首元の制約がある衣服の掛け外しは一般的なハンガーに比べて長所となり得るが、閉じた肩掛けアームを首元から挿入後にアームを開く際に左右が連動し、開き終えた状態で自動的にアームが固定し、また衣服を外す際に吊元でのワンタッチ操作でアーム閉じなければ逆に作業効率が悪く不快に感じる。Folding hangers may have an advantage over regular hangers when it comes to hanging and removing clothes that have restrictions on the neck area, but when the closed shoulder arm is inserted from the neck and the arm is opened, the left and right sides move together, making it difficult to hang and remove clothes that have restrictions on the neck area. If the arm automatically locks in place, and you have to close the arm with a one-touch operation at the hanger when removing clothes, work efficiency will be poor and you will feel uncomfortable.

特許文献１はアームの左右の連動とアームの自動固定とワンタッチ操作での閉じ込みが備わっているが、アームに歯車を設け素材の弾性バネの掛り留めの複雑な制御機構ではコスト高となる。また素材が限られるため価格に吊り合う質感の製品ができない。Patent Document 1 has the ability to interlock the left and right sides of the arm, automatically fix the arm, and close the arm with a one-touch operation, but the complicated control mechanism in which the arm is provided with gears and the elastic spring of the material is latched is expensive. Also, because the materials are limited, it is not possible to produce products with a texture that matches the price.

特許文献２の第１から第３の実施形状は左右のアームの留具を共通とし回転させることでバネ等を用いず単純な構造としているが、開閉に要する指圧力はアームに作用する衣服等の重量に留具からアームの作用点と指圧点との長さに反比例する負荷力となるので、実態として負担の小さいアームの直接的開閉となり左右別々の動きでありワンタッチ操作での閉じ込みもできない。In the first to third embodiments of Patent Document 2, the left and right arms have a common fastener and are rotated, resulting in a simple structure without using springs, etc. However, the finger pressure required for opening and closing is reduced by the amount of finger pressure applied to the arms, such as clothing, etc. Since the load force is inversely proportional to the weight of the clasp and the length between the arm's action point and the acupressure point, the actual situation is that the arm can be opened and closed directly, which is a small burden, and the left and right movements are separate, making it possible to close with one-touch operation. Can not.

特許文献３は左右のアームの留具を共通とし補助材とスライド機構によりバネ等を用いず単純な構造であるが、左右のアームは連動するもののスライド留具を維持しながら吊元を持ち衣服に挿入後、吊元を保持しながら留具を解放する必要があり作業性が悪く、またワンタッチ操作での閉じ込みができない。Patent Document 3 uses a common fastener for the left and right arms, and has a simple structure using auxiliary materials and a slide mechanism without using springs, etc. However, although the left and right arms are interlocked, the slide fasteners are maintained while holding the hanger and hanging the clothes. After insertion, the clasp must be released while holding the hanging base, which is difficult to work with, and it cannot be closed with a one-touch operation.

そこで素材を選ばない単純な固定・解除ができる機構で低価格化ができ作業効率の良い、費用対効果の高い折り畳みハンガーを提供することを目的とする。Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a cost-effective folding hanger that has a simple mechanism for fixing and releasing regardless of the material, is inexpensive, has good work efficiency, and is highly cost-effective.

本発明に係わるハンガーは竿掛けフックと左右の肩掛けアームで構成され、それぞれの端部にプレートを配し、回転・移動可能な留具にて結合させ、肩掛けアームのプレートにはＬ形のガイド溝を設け、竿掛けフックのプレートには長穴を設けることで固定および解除を可能とし、またタオル用ビームはＷ字形とし、肩掛けアームに内包することでコンパクトに収納可能なアンガーを実現させる。The hanger according to the present invention is composed of a rod hook and left and right shoulder arms, each having a plate at each end and connected with a rotatable and movable fastener, and the shoulder arm plate has an L-shaped guide. A groove is provided and an elongated hole is provided in the plate of the rod hook to enable fixing and release, and the towel beam is W-shaped and is housed in the shoulder arm to realize a compactly storable hanger.

収納に便利な折り畳みハンガーの固定・解除方法を単純で素材を選ばない掛り留めの機構とすることで、洗濯用に多用される合成樹脂からお洒落な金属製や木製の商品まで幅広いニーズに対応可能である。特にタオル掛けを省いた肩掛けアームだけの折り畳みハンガーは衣服の掛け外しの利便性の高さに加えロープライスな提供が可能であることから革新的な製品となり得る。The folding hanger, which is convenient for storage, has a simple fixing and releasing mechanism that allows it to be hung on any material, making it possible to meet a wide range of needs, from synthetic resin often used for laundry to stylish metal and wooden products. It is. In particular, a folding hanger with only a shoulder arm that does not include a towel rack can be an innovative product because it is highly convenient for hanging and removing clothes and can be provided at a low price.

衣服を吊るす際に閉じた左右の肩掛けアーム２１を衣服の首元から挿入後に通常の開き位置まで連動する左右のアーム２１を開くことで吊元プレート１２のガイドピン１４が左右のＬ字形のガイド溝２３の長辺溝を移動し、左右のアーム２１を更に開き戻すことで固定用短辺溝にガイドピン１４が入り込み、竿にフック１１を掛けることでＬ字形のガイド溝２３の短辺溝端にガイドピン１４が導かれ掛り留めがはたらくので円滑に衣服を吊るすことができる。また、ガイドピン１４を留具化することで各プレートの面外拘束ができる。When hanging clothes, by inserting the closed left and right shoulder arms 21 from the neck of the clothes and then opening the left and right arms 21 that move to the normal open position, the guide pins 14 of the hanging base plate 12 can be used as left and right L-shaped guides. By moving the long side groove of the groove 23 and further opening the left and right arms 21, the guide pin 14 enters the fixing short side groove, and by hooking the hook 11 on the rod, the short side groove end of the L-shaped guide groove 23 is inserted. Since the guide pin 14 is guided and the hook works, the clothes can be hung smoothly. Further, by forming the guide pin 14 into a fastener, each plate can be restrained out of plane.

衣服を外す際に片側のアーム２１を持ち竿からフック１１を外した状態でフック１１及び吊元プレート１２を下方向に押し出すことでガイドピン１４がガイド溝２３の固定用溝から外され長辺溝に誘導され左右のアーム２１が下方向に回転し閉じるので円滑に衣服を外すことができる。When removing clothes, hold the arm 21 on one side and remove the hook 11 from the rod, and push the hook 11 and hanging plate 12 downward to remove the guide pin 14 from the fixing groove of the guide groove 23 and remove the hook 11 from the rod. The left and right arms 21 are guided by the grooves and rotate downward to close, allowing the clothes to be removed smoothly.

ハンガー下部に取り付くタオル用端ビーム４１とタオル用ビーム４２の組み合わせでＷ字形とし、アーム２１を閉じる際に先ず端部ビーム４１はアーム２１に格納される方向に回転を起こし、更に閉じるアーム２１はタオル用ビームの中間留具４４の端をビームの軸方向に押すことにより、中央留具４５に設けられたむくりで、ビーム４２は上方向に回転を起こし閉じる左右のアーム２１の内側に格納される。The towel end beam 41 and the towel beam 42 attached to the lower part of the hanger are combined to form a W-shape, and when the arm 21 is closed, the end beam 41 first rotates in the direction in which it is stored in the arm 21, and then the arm 21 that is closed is rotated. By pushing the end of the intermediate clasp 44 of the towel beam in the axial direction of the beam, the beam 42 is rotated upward by the bulge provided in the central clasp 45 and is stored inside the left and right arms 21 that close. be done.

掛り留めの機構を回転と移動の複合により単純化することで、洗濯用ハンガー等に用いられる合成樹脂等に留まらず、折り畳みハンガーの材質を金属製や木製にすることで雰囲気やおもむきを大切にする催事場等の使用に適応可能である。By simplifying the hanging mechanism by combining rotation and movement, we are not limited to the synthetic resin used for laundry hangers, etc., but we are also using metal or wood for the folding hanger, which values the atmosphere and direction. It can be adapted to use in event halls, etc.
