Stackable Clothes Hanger
This invention relates to a stackable clothes hanger comprising a hanging hook and a shoulder supporting part formed extendedly with inclination to right and left respectively from one end of said hanging hook for upholding the shoulder part of an upper garment, wherein the central part of said shoulder supporting part is formed with a hollow penetrating part as vertical penetration having a dimension that is equal to or larger than the size to have inserted a hanging hook of the same kind of clothes hanger and the inner plane of said shoulder supporting is formed with a receiving space capable of accepting at least a portion of the shoulder supporting part of the same kind of clothes hanger. With the configuration as such, structure for enabling a plurality of the clothes hangers to be stacked one over another is simplified so that productivity thereof might be enhanced and volume reducing effect thereof might be maximum when a plurality of such clothes hangers are stacked.
The present invention relates generally to a stackable clothes hanger, and more particularly to a stackable clothes hanger having a configuration whereby a plurality of these clothes hangers can be stacked one on top of another so that storage and transportation thereof can be made easy.
BACKGROUND ARTA conventional clothes hanger comprises, as illustrated in
However, in case where a plurality of above said clothes hangers are to be placed one on top of another for storage, there is no stackable part that can be put and offset one upon another in shoulder supporting part 12, or in neck part 13, or in hanging hook 11, so the total volume is made too big, and storage area for keeping them is to be so large that arrangement of such clothes hangers in good shape and order is impossible. Furthermore, in case of transportation of such clothes hangers, transportation cost thereof increases because of huge bulkiness of volume, which causes another problem of the traditional clothes hanger.
In consideration of problems and drawbacks described as above, a clothes hanger disclosed in Korean Utility Model No. 1994-0005206 as shown in
In case where a plurality of clothes hangers according to above said invention are to be placed one on top of another, the rotary portion 21 formed at lower part of the hanging portion 20 rotates in said receiving chamber 14 and the hanging portion 20 is made received in receiving chamber 14, so all clothes hangers except clothes hanger on top can be stacked one over another as illustrated in
The present invention was contrived to alleviate or solve problems and drawbacks mentioned as above. It is an objective of the present invention therefore to provide a stackable clothes hanger with a simplified configuration for enabling a plurality of the clothes hangers to be stacked one on top of another so that productivity thereof might be enhanced on one hand and volume reducing effect thereof might be made big on the other hand when a plurality of the clothes hangers are stacked.
Technical SolutionIn order to achieve the objective described as above, the stackable clothes hanger according to the present invention comprises a hanging hook and a shoulder supporting part formed extendedly with inclination to right and left respectively from one end of said hanging hook for upholding the shoulder part of an upper garment, wherein the central part of said shoulder supporting part is formed with a hollow penetrating part as a vertical penetration whose size is equal to or larger than that capable of having inserted a hanging hook of the same kind of a clothes hanger, and the inner plane of said shoulder supporting part is formed with a receiving space capable of accepting at least a portion of the shoulder supporting part of the same kind of a clothes hanger.
Lower parts at both sides of said shoulder supporting part are preferably formed with upholding bases each of which is formed protrudingly and has an insertion hole, and a trouser hanging bar for keeping trousers or slacks hanged is hingedly inserted into said insertion holes at both sides of said upholding bases.
Both ends of said trouser hanging bar are preferably made bent like a hook, and these bent parts like a hook are inserted into said insertion holes of said upholding bases.
Advantageous EffectThe stackable clothes hanger according to the present invention provides a simplified configuration for enabling a plurality of such clothes hangers to be stacked one over another, so the productivity thereof might be enhanced and production cost thereof might be lowered. Moreover, if a plurality of clothes hangers are to be placed one on top of another, volume reducing effect can be made so big in comparison to the case of conventional clothes hangers that a lot of such clothes hangers can be stored conveniently in a small space as well as they can be transported easily.
Hereinafter, the stackable clothes hanger according to preferable embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to appended drawings.
Referring to
The central part of said shoulder supporting part 2 is formed with a hollow penetrating part 3 as vertical penetration having a dimension that is equal to or larger than the size to have inserted the hanging hook 1 of the same kind of clothes hanger, and one side of circumference of said hollow penetrating part 3 is formed with a hanging hook 1 extended protrudingly upwards.
Furthermore, the inner plane of said shoulder supporting part 2 is formed with a receiving space 4 along length direction of said inner plane. In this receiving space 4, the upper planes of shoulder supporting part 2 of the same kind of clothes hangers can be received and stacked.
Said hanging hook 1 is used to hang the clothes hanger on a nail or a rack fixedly attached at wall or on a clothes hanging structure. As shown in
In use of the stackable clothes hanger having configuration described as above according to the present invention, a plurality of said clothes hangers can be stacked one on top of another by use of the hollow penetrating part 3 formed at central part of the shoulder supporting part 2 and the receiving space 4 formed at lower plane thereof. The stacking process as illustrated in
A stackable clothes hanger according to another embodiment of the present invention as shown in
Said trouser hanging bar 5 as illustrated in
As a structure for hingedly inserting said trouser hanging bar 5 into the lower plane of shoulder supporting part 2, aforesaid embodiment has described the bent parts 8 like a hook being inserted into insertion holes 6, which is however an explanatory example. It will be apparent that any other structures for hingedly connecting the trouser hanging bar 5 at lower plane of shoulder supporting part 2 should also be possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and they should be considered therefore to fall within the range and scope of the present invention.
Referring to
While the present invention has been described herein with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof illustrated as appended drawings, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications, variations and equivalent embodiments or examples can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications, variations and equivalent embodiments or examples of this invention that come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITYThe stackable clothes hanger according to the present invention provides a simplified configuration for enabling a plurality of such clothes hangers to be stacked one over another, so the productivity thereof might be enhanced and production cost thereof might be lowered. Moreover, if a plurality of clothes hangers are to be placed one on top of another, volume reducing effect thereof can be made so big in comparison to the case of conventional clothes hangers that a lot of such clothes hangers can be stored conveniently in a small space as well as they can be transported easily.
