1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a clothes hanging stand device, particularly to a clothes hanging stand device in which variable and expandable hanging space for apparel is provided by simple operation, and quick assembling and disassembling is achieved between the members, and storing space-saving effect is obtained after collapsing.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
Generally, hanging stand for indoor hanging of apparels for storing or outdoor hanging of apparels for sun-drying should meet the demand of sufficient hanging space. In order to meet the consumer's demand, conventional clothes hanging stand has the design of two levels which can provide bigger hanging space for apparels. However, this conventional clothes hanging stand, capable of hanging apparels with short-length only, fails to be used for hanging one-piece apparel or longer overcoat. Although, there is a conventional design of clothes hanging stand with open full height used for hanging one-piece apparel or longer overcoat, it is however waste hanging space for it to hang apparels with short-length.
As shown in
Additionally, a collapsible hanging stand as shown in
The above prior art provides collapsible function, however, it is confined in the function of shrinking the height relative to the support rod (13″) and the width with respect to the support stands (30″). When not in use, it still takes a lot of space. Therefore, improvement is expected in usage and design.
The main object of this invention is to provide a clothes hanging stand device which can improve the defects of fixed hanging space and space-occupying when not in use of conventional clothes hanging stand.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn order to achieve the above and other objects, the clothes hanging stand device of the present invention has a hanging space formed by a pair of vertical stand and several frame etc. The vertical stands are arranged oppositely facing with each other, and each vertical stand includes a vertically oriented frame and a pair of support, and a 3-direction coupler is used to connect among them for extending or contracting relatively. Each vertically oriented frame is provided with a 2-direction coupler on the top end. The horizontally oriented frame formed by the serial connection of a multi-segment connecting rod and an extending rod is connected between the mutually opposite 2-direction couplers and the horizontally oriented frame is telescopic and collapsible. A shelf stand includes a suspending rod suspending from the horizontally oriented frame and a connecting rod connecting to the vertically oriented frame, both are orthogonal to each other. The movement of a telescopic rod with respect to the connecting rod enables the space defined by the suspending rod and the connecting rod to be enlarged or contracted such that a full height hang space at one side and a two-level hanging space at the other side for apparels are respectively formed.
According to the clothes hanging stand device of the present invention, when the shelf stand is in contracted state, a two-level hanging space is formed at one side which is used to hang apparels with short length; and a full height hanging space is formed at the other side which is used to hang one-piece apparel or longer overcoat. The expanding of the shelf stand can provide a full width two-level hanging space for apparels. Alternatively, the removal of the shelf stand can provide a full height clothes hanging space. Furthermore, the hanging space can be further expanded to the outside of the pair of the vertical stand by the extension of an extending rod of the horizontal oriented frame.
According to the clothes hanging stand device of the present invention, a quick assembling and disassembling structure is formed among the vertically oriented frame of the vertical stand, the support and the 3-direction coupler, which can be collapsed to form a bundle simply by the releasing of a retention pin. A flexible cord is connected between the connecting rod of the horizontal oriented frame and end portion of the connecting rod, and a slidable sleeve is inserted onto the outside of the connecting rods. If the sleeve is slided away from the abutment portion of the connecting rods to one side, relatively collapsed state between the connecting rods, and between the connecting rod and the vertically oriented frame can be easily achieved. Further, the shelf stand is in hooked relationship with the 3-direction coupler, the vertically oriented frame and the horizontally oriented frame. The suspending rod and the connecting rod can be relatively collapsed by simply detaching the hooking among them. In this manner, a quick assembling and disassembling structure among the components can be formed such that the assembling and disassembling can be completed within one minute. Additionally, the whole device after collapse occupies little volume space for easy store-up.
The technical features of the present invention will become more apparent by the detailed description of the following preferred embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanied drawings.
