CLOTHING HANGER

Abstract

The conventional inventions have the problem that the hanger is not deformed when the cloth hung on the hanger is pulled in one direction due to the characteristics of the material of the hanger. Thus, it is difficult to remove the cloth from the hanger. By using a clothing hanger including: a hook portion; and a hanger arm portion formed by integrating a left arm portion extended leftward from a lower end of the hook portion and a right arm portion extended rightward from the lower end of the hook portion, wherein the hanger arm portion is formed by an elastic body, and the left arm portion and the right arm portion are configured to be deformed when an external force is applied in a downward direction, the cloths hung on the hanger can be removed only by pulling the cloth.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

For example, hangers made of hard plastic or wood are widely used as shown in the inventions of Patent document 1 and Patent document 2.

In addition, hangers having various functions for adjusting the shape of the hangers exist as shown in the inventions of Patent document 3 and Patent document 4.

However, the conventional inventions have the problem that the hanger is not deformed when the cloth hung on the hanger is pulled in one direction due to the characteristics of the material of the hanger. Thus, it is difficult to remove the cloth from the hanger.

The invention of claim 1 is a clothing hanger including: a hook portion; and a hanger arm portion formed by integrating a left arm portion extended leftward from a lower end of the hook portion and a right arm portion extended rightward from the lower end of the hook portion, characterized in that the hanger arm portion is formed by an elastic body, and the left arm portion and the right arm portion are configured to be deformed when an external force is applied in a downward direction.

Furthermore, the invention of claim 2 is the hanger of claim 1 characterized in that a material of the elastic body of the hanger arm portion is a natural rubber, a synthetic rubber or a soft polyvinyl chloride.

According to the present invention, it is possible to remove the cloth hung on the hanger only by pulling the cloth. Thus, complicated work can be reduced. Furthermore, the hanger is deformed when the cloth is hung on the hanger in the present invention. Thus, the present invention can prevent the cloths from being caught by the hanger arm portion. Consequently, the cloths can be easily hung on the hanger.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Hereafter, the embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. The following embodiment is merely an example for illustrating the present invention. Thus, the present invention is not limited to only the following embodiment. In addition, the present invention includes various modifications within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the repeated explanation is omitted by applying the same reference numeral to the same element in the drawings as much as possible.

Embodiment

First, an overview of a clothing hanger 1 will be explained using FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a front view of the clothing hanger 1 concerning the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view where the T-shirt T is hung on the clothing hanger 1 of the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, similar to the conventional hanger, the clothing hanger 1 includes a hook portion 11 and a hanger arm portion 12 formed by integrating a left arm portion 121 and a right arm portion 122.

The hook portion 11 is a hook-like shape as shown in the drawings. The hook portion 11 can be made of a metal or a non-deformable resin. The material of the hook portion 11 is not particularly limited.

The hanger arm portion 12 is formed by integrating the left arm portion 121 extended leftward and gently inclined from the lower end of the hook portion 11 and the right arm portion 122 extended rightward similarly.

The hanger arm portion 12 is made of an elastic material such as a natural rubber and a synthetic rubber. The other elastic materials can be used within the range that does not impair the intended effect of the present invention. For example, a soft polyvinyl chloride and the like can be used. As shown in FIG. 6, the hanger arm portion 12 has an approximately L-shape in the cross-section. It can be said that a hollow portion is formed at the lower surface of the hanger arm portion 12. A groove 13 having an approximately circular shape is formed on the center of the lower surface of the hanger arm portion 12. Since the above described configurations are adopted, the hanger arm portion 12 can be easily deformed downward. As shown in FIG. 7, a connection portion 11A having a cylindrical shape is formed on the lower end of the hook portion 11. The outer diameter of the connection portion 11A is approximately same as the inner diameter of the groove 13. The hook portion 11 is fixed to the hanger arm portion 12 by inserting the connection portion 11A into the groove 13.

<Method of Use>

Then, the method of suspending the clothing hanger 1 on the pole P and removing the T-shirt T will be shown while illustrating with FIG. 3 to FIG. 5. FIG. 3 is a drawing showing the step S1 of suspending the clothing hanger 1 of the embodiment of the present invention on the pole P and removing the T-shirt T. FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a step S2 of suspending the clothing hanger 1 of the embodiment of the present invention on a pole P and removing the T-shirt T. FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a step S3 of suspending the clothing hanger 1 of the embodiment of the present invention on a pole P and removing the T-shirt T.

(Step S1)

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the clothing hanger 1 is suspended on the pole P and the T-shirt T is hung on the clothing hanger 1.

(Step S2)

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the T-shirt T is pulled downward to apply the external force on the hanger arm portion 12 of the clothing hanger 1 in the downward direction. Because of this, the left arm portion 121 and the right arm portion 122 are deformed.

(Step S3)

When the T-shirt T is removed from the clothing hanger 1, the left arm portion 121 and the right arm portion 122 are released and returned to the original shape.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REFERENCE NUMERALS

1: clothing hanger, 11: hook portion, 121: left arm portion, 122: right arm portion, P: pole, T: T-shirt
