BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clothes rack in which a hanger main body is attached to columns vertically erected.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present invention proposes a clothes rack in which a plurality of hanger pipes are mounted at right angles to a support column which is supported in a state of being stretched on upper and lower wall surfaces via elbows, and clothes hangers can be hung on the hanger pipes. Yes (Actual application 3
-62098). In the case of this clothes rack, the elbow is slidably inserted into the column, and a fixing screw that is screwed onto the elbow is crimped to the column so that the elbow can be fixed to any position of the column. Therefore, the hanger pipe can also be fixed at an arbitrary position with respect to the column.

[0003]

However, in the case of the above clothes hanging, it is necessary to loosen and re-tighten the fixing screw in order to change the position and height of the hanger pipe, which is poor in workability. In addition, since the tip of the fixing screw makes an indentation when the tip of the fixing screw is crimped to the support, if the position of the hanger pipe is changed, a scratch will remain on the surface of the support, which is not preferable in terms of aesthetics. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to
An object of the present invention is to provide a clothes rack in which the position of the hanger body can be easily changed without damaging the columns.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is to provide a column vertically erected and a grip portion having a substantially C-shaped cross section which is slidably inserted into the column. And a pair of shaft support pieces protruding outwardly in parallel from both open ends of the grip portion, and one end of which is attached to the shaft support piece so as to be vertically rotatable via the support shaft. And a hanger body having a plurality of hooks in the longitudinal direction, the hanger body is provided with a stopper surface that abuts the stopper surface of the support at a constant rotation angle and stops downward rotation. At least one of the shaft support piece and the shaft support piece is provided with an inclined surface that presses the shaft support piece inward as the hanger body is rotated from above to the stop angle, and by pressing the shaft support piece inward by the inclined surface. ,
The grip portion of the support is pressure-bonded and fixed to the support.

[0005]

In order to change the position of the hanger main body, first, the free end side of the hanger main body is lifted and rotated upward with the support shaft as the fulcrum. As a result, the pressing force of the inclined surface with respect to the shaft support piece is released, so that the grip portion of the support tool is opened and slidable with respect to the column. In this state, the hanger body can be freely moved with respect to the column. After moving to the desired position, rotate the hanger body downward until its stopper surface abuts the stopper surface of the support, and the inclined surface presses the shaft support piece inward until the stop position. The grip of the support tool is crimped to the support, and the support is fixed to the support.

[0006]

1 and 2 show an example of a clothes rack according to the present invention. The column A has an outer cylinder 1 and an inner cylinder 2, and the lower end of the inner cylinder 2 is slidably inserted into the upper end of the outer cylinder 1. A resin cap 3 is fitted and fixed to the lower end of the outer cylinder 1, and a cushion rubber 4 is adhered to the back surface of the cap 3.

A resin sleeve 5 for slidably guiding the inner cylinder 2 is fitted and fixed to the upper end of the outer cylinder 1, and a metal nut 6 is integrally formed on the sleeve 5 by insert molding or the like. It is fixed to. The nut 6 has a resin handle 7
A fixing screw 7 having a is screwed, and the tip of the fixing screw 7 bites into the inner cylinder 2 to fix the inner and outer cylinders 1 and 2 to each other.

A movable cylinder 10 having substantially the same diameter as the outer cylinder 1 is externally inserted on the upper end of the inner cylinder 2. A resin sleeve 11 that is slidable on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 2 is fitted to the lower end of the movable cylinder 10, and a resin cap 12 is fitted and fixed to the upper end. In addition, 13 is a cushion rubber adhered to the back surface of the cap 12. A coil spring 14 is inserted from the inside of the movable cylinder 10 to the inside of the upper end of the inner cylinder 2, and the upper end of the coil spring 14 is fixed to the upper end of the movable cylinder 10 by being bridged in the diameter direction. It is fastened to 15. Both ends of the fixed shaft 15 are covered with the caps 12 and are not exposed to the outside. A guide piece 2a is integrally cut and raised at the upper end of the inner cylinder 2 toward the inside, and the guide piece 2a is slidably engaged with the spiral of the coil spring 14. Therefore, when the inner cylinder 2 is relatively rotated with respect to the movable cylinder 10, the guide piece 2 a moves along the spiral of the coil spring 14 and the effective spring length S of the coil spring 14 can be changed.

A plurality of resin supporting members 20 are slidably inserted into the outer circumference of the outer cylinder 1 and the outer circumference of the inner cylinder 2, and one end of the hanger body 30 is vertically rotatable on the supporting tools 20. Supported by. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the support 20 includes a grip portion 21 having a substantially C-shaped cross section that is slidably inserted into the outer cylinder 1 or the inner cylinder 2, and both open ends of the grip portion 21. And a pair of shaft support pieces 22 projecting substantially parallel to the outside from, and a gap δ is provided between the pair of shaft support pieces 22 in the free state. An inclined surface 23 is formed on the outer side surface of the shaft support piece 22 from the upper end portion to the lower end portion so that the wall thickness gradually increases, and the outer end portion of the shaft support piece 22 is formed slightly thinner than the inner end portion. A bolt 25 (see FIG. 2), which is an example of a support shaft, is inserted through a shaft hole 24 formed in the upper end portion of the shaft support piece 22 in the horizontal direction.
The hanger body 30 is rotatably supported via the shaft 5.

The hanger body 30 is made of resin and integrally molded into a plate shape, and has a plurality of hook holes 31 formed in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIGS. A protrusion 32 protruding upward is provided on the lower side of the hook hole 31,
The protrusions 32 form two hook portions 33 in each hook hole 31. A bearing portion 34 is formed at one end of the hanger body 30 and is connected to the shaft support piece 22 of the support tool 20 via a bolt 25. The inner edge of the bearing portion 34 is formed on the upper side and the lower side of the hanger body 30. About 4
The angle is 5 degrees. The inner edge 34 of the bearing 34
Reference numeral a denotes a stopper surface that abuts on the outer surface (stopper surface 21a) of the grip portion 21 and stops when the hanger body 30 is rotated downward. A concave portion 35 is formed inside the bearing portion 34, and the width dimension d of the concave portion 35 is slightly larger than the sum D ₁ of the thicknesses of the upper ends of the two shaft support pieces 22 and the gap δ. It is smaller than the sum D ₂ of the thickness of the lower end of the support piece 22 and the gap δ. Therefore, as the hanger body 30 is rotated from the upper position to the stop position (the position where the stopper surface 34a of the bearing portion 34 abuts on the stopper surface 21a of the support tool 20 and stops), the inner surface of the concave portion 35 becomes the inclined surface of the shaft support piece 22. The shaft support piece 22 is pushed inward by sliding 23, and the grip portion 21 of the support tool 20 is pressure-bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 1 or the inner cylinder 2.

Next, a method of installing and using the clothes rack will be described. First, the fixing screw 7 is loosened and the inner cylinder 2 is slid with respect to the outer cylinder 1 so that the overall length L of the column A is substantially equal to the distance between the upper and lower wall surfaces W ₁ and W ₂ , and then the fixing screw 7 is tightened. Inner and outer cylinders 1, 2
Fix to each other. Next, the movable cylinder 10 is turned to rotate the inner cylinder 2
The protrusion length from is adjusted, and the spring constant of the coil spring 14 is adjusted. Then, in a state where the upper surface of the cap 12 of the movable barrel 10 is brought into contact with the upper wall surface W ₁ , the entire pillar A is pushed upward and the coil spring 14 is compressed,
The attachment is completed by bringing the cap 3 at the lower end of the outer cylinder 1 into contact with the lower wall surface W ₂ and releasing the pushing force.

In a normal state, the hanger body 30 is in a position rotated downward by its own gravity, and is stopped at a position where the stopper surface 34a of the bearing portion 34 contacts the stopper surface 21a of the support 20. . Therefore, the hanger body 30 is inclined obliquely downward with respect to the column A, and when the clothes hangers are hooked in the hooking holes 31 of the hanger body 30, the individual clothes hangers are shifted in the height direction. , Clothes hangers can be easily identified. When changing the position of the hanger body 30,
Rotate the hanger body 30 approximately 90 degrees upward. Then, the inner surface of the recess 35 slides from the thick portion to the thin portion of the shaft support piece 22, so that the shaft support piece 22 opens by its own restoring force, and the crimping force of the gripping portion 21 against the column A is released. . Here, if the hanger body 30 is slid upward or downward, the position can be easily changed.
Is rotated downward, the stopper surface 34a of the bearing portion 34
Stops against the stopper surface 21a of the support 20, and at the same time, the bearing portion 34 presses the shaft support piece 22 inward, so that the grip portion 21 is crimped to the support A and the hanger body 30 can be fixed at that position.

In the above embodiment, the movable cylinder 10 is replaced by the inner cylinder 2.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a movable cylinder may be internally inserted at the upper end of the inner cylinder 2, and further may be externally inserted or internally inserted at the lower end of the outer cylinder 1. Further, instead of the movable cylinder 10, a jack mechanism such as Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-178578 may be provided. Further, the stop position of the hanger body 30 may be a horizontal position or an obliquely upper position, but it is preferably a position inclined obliquely downward as in the embodiment. The reason is that, firstly, the amount of protrusion of the hanger body to the outside is small, so it is less likely to get in the way. Secondly, when multiple clothes hangers are hung on the hooks of the hanger body, This is because the clothes hangers can be easily identified because the hangers are shifted in the height direction. Thirdly, since the angle between the hanger body and the support can be set large, it is not necessary to rotate the hanger body to a position directly above. Also, since the gripping force of the support tool can be released, the hanger body can be easily handled when changing its position. Furthermore, although the example in which the inclined surface 23 is provided on the outer surface of the shaft support piece 22 is shown, the invention is not limited to this, and the hanger body 30
An inclined surface may be provided on the inner surface of the bearing portion 34. In either case, the shaft support piece 22 is pressed inward while the hanger body 30 is rotated to the stop position, and the grip portion 21 can be pressed against the support A. Further, in the above embodiment, the inner edge 34a of the bearing portion 34 and the outer surface 21a of the grip portion 21 are used as the stopper surface, but the recess 3
The bottom surface 35a of 5 and the outer edge 22a of the shaft support piece 22 may serve as stopper surfaces.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the gripping force of the support is released only by lifting the free end side of the hanger body and rotating the hanger body upward. It can be moved freely with respect to the column. Further, when the hanger body is rotated downward, the gripping portion of the support tool is crimped to the support, so that it is not necessary to tighten a fixing screw or the like, and the position of the hanger body can be changed very easily. Moreover, since the indentation etc. does not remain on the pillar, even if the position of the hanger body is changed, the pillar is not damaged,
Good aesthetically.
