Thegripping wall 211 terminates at asnap end 215 which is spaced apart from the respective one of the left and right ends to define a clearance therewith, which is of a dimension slightly smaller than that of the respective one of theheadrest rods 12 and which is communicated with thegripping space 213. Thegripping wall 211 is configured to impart thesnap end 215 with a biasing force which urges thesnap end 215 to move toward the respective one of the left and right ends such that, when a respective one of thegripping portions 21 is being fitted onto arespective headrest rod 12, thesnap end 215 is forced to move away from the respective one of the left and right ends against the biasing force thereof so as to enlarge the clearance to a dimension corresponding to that of therespective headrest rod 12. Each of the left and right grippingportions 21 further includes a guidingwall 212 that extends from thesnap end 215 away from the respective one of the left and right ends, that cooperates with themajor wall surface 231 to define an access opening 214 communicated with the clearance, and that has a progressively decreasing thickness such that the access opening 214 has a dimension greater than that of the clearance to facilitate attachment of the grippingportions 21 to theheadrest rods 12. Theintermediate segment 23 has two inner peripheral wall surfaces defining the twoinsert holes 221, which extend from themounting wall surface 232 in the upright direction. In this embodiment, each of the inner peripheral wall surfaces is configured such that each of theinsert holes 221 includes acircular portion 222 and two radially extendingrecessed portions 223. - The hanging
member 3 is adapted for hanging an article of clothing, and includes anelongated hanger body 32 which has left andright end portions 323 opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction, and amiddle portion 321 interposed between the left andright end portions 323, and a leg unit which includes left andright shanks 31 that are insertable removably into theinsert holes 221, respectively, and that extend downwardly from themiddle portion 321 in the upright direction to terminate respectively at left and rightengaging ends 310, which are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, thehanger body 32 is formed by bending a bendable wire into an open-ended straightened loop which has left and right bent portions to serve as the left andright end portions 323, and twoterminal ends 322 that are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction and that form a part of themiddle portion 321. The left andright shanks 31 are integrally formed with and extend from theterminal ends 322, respectively. Each of the left and rightengaging ends 310 has tworadial protrusions 311 for engaging therecessed portions 223 of therespective insert hole 221 such that the left and rightengaging ends 310 are respectively in a splined engagement with the inner peripheral wall surfaces defining theinsert holes 221, thereby preventing undesired rotation of the left andright shanks 31 relative to theinsert holes 221. - A friction unit 4 includes two
friction blocks 41 which are configured to be retained and shiftable in the straightened loop so as to be shifted to be adjacent to the left andright bent portions 323, respectively, thereby helping prevent slippage of the article of clothing from thehanger body 32. Each of thefriction blocks 41 has an outer surface provided with a plurality ofanti-slip bosses 411. -
FIG. 2 shows thegripping member 2 of the preferred embodiment in a normal state, i.e., an unbent state. In this state, the two grippingportions 21 are spaced apart by a distance greater than that between the twoheadrest rods 12. When thegripping member 2 is to be attached to theheadrest unit 1, a force is applied to bend theintermediate segment 23 of thegripping member 2 in a manner as shown inFIG. 3 such that the distance between thegripping portions 21 is smaller than that between theheadrest rods 12. In this bent state, theintermediate segment 23 of the grippingmember 2 acquires a biasing force that urges the grippingwalls 211 to abut against theheadrest rods 12, respectively, when the grippingportions 21 are respectively fitted onto theheadrest rods 12 from behind the car seat and the bending force is released, thereby holding the grippingmember 2 firmly between theheadrest rods 12, as shown inFIG. 4 . Thereafter, the hangingmember 3, with the friction blocks 4 mounted thereon, is coupled to the grippingmember 2. To detach the hanger assembly from theheadrest unit 1, the hangingmember 3 is first detached from thegripping member 2, and theintermediate segment 23 is bent to permit removal of the grippingportions 21 from theheadrest rods 12. - Referring to
FIGS. 5 and 6 , the second preferred embodiment of a hanger assembly according to this invention is substantially similar to the first preferred embodiment in construction. In this embodiment, the inner peripheral wall surfaces defining theinsert holes 221 are each provided with a plurality ofteeth 224. In addition, the hanger assembly further includes twoadaptors 5, each of which includes atubular body 51 having upper and lower ends opposite to each other in the upright direction and insertable into a respective one of theinsert holes 221, an outer wall surface provided with a plurality ofteeth 511 for engaging theteeth 224 on the inner peripheral wall surface of the respective one of theinsert holes 221, and an inner wall surface radially opposite to the outer wall surface and confining anengaging hole 53 for receiving a respective one of the left andright shanks 31 of the leg unit. The upper end of thetubular body 51 has an enlarged diameter and protrudes from themounting wall surface 232 after thetubular body 51 is fitted into therespective insert hole 221. Theengaging hole 53 includes acircular portion 531 and two radially extendingrecessed portions 532 so as to match the configuration of the left and rightengaging ends 310 of the left andright shanks 31, thereby preventing undesirable rotation of the leg unit after the hangingmember 3 is connected to theintermediate segment 23 of thegripping member 2. Furthermore, thehanger body 32 of the hangingmember 3 in this embodiment is a tubular body having twotubular end portions 326. The friction unit 4 includes twoanti-slip members 41 which are fitted respectively into thetubular end portions 326 and which are provided with a plurality ofanti-slip bosses 411 thereon. - As shown hereinabove, the hanger assembly of this invention can be attached to or detached from the
headrest unit 1 of a car seat with relative ease. - While this invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
