Automobile clothes hanger bracket
An automobile clothes hanger bracket providing a better retaining effect comprise a hanger part with two extended rods and two mounting units. Each of the mounting units further includes a rod holder, an extended bars and a control member. The rod holders respectively hold the head piece rods of the head piece of a car seat. An axial hole passing through the members of each mounting unit can retain an extended rod of the hanger part. Each of the head piece rods is provided with a locking mechanism consisting of a spring and a control knob, so that the hanger part can be removed from the mounting units easily.
The present invention relates to clothes hangers for the use in an automobile, and more particularly to an automobile clothes hanger bracket that provides: a better retaining effect achieved by two mounting units that connect the extended rods of a hanger part and the head piece rods of the head piece of a car seat, each of the mounting units further including a rod holder, an extended bar and a control member for providing a locking mechanism; more convenient replacement of parts since the hanger part and the mounting units are separated.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART Referring to
However, the automobile clothes hanger bracket of the prior art has the following disadvantages. Firstly, since the holding of the head piece rods 3 in the embedding slots 14 of the embedding members 13 is not fully closed, it is possible that an foreign object pulls the hanged clothes, causing the hanger part 10 to fall off. Secondly, since that the embedding members 13 are integrally connected with the extended rods 11, 12 of the hanger part 10 and that the embedding slots 14 are not tough, once the embedding slots 14 are broken due to external forces, the whole clothes hanger bracket will be wasted.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAccordingly, the primary objective of the present invention is to provide an automobile clothes hanger bracket having mounting units separated from the hanger part. The holding members of the mounting units entirely encircle the head piece rods of the head piece of a car seat, so that falloff of the clothes hanger bracket by pulling is not possible. Each of the mounting units is composed of a rod holder, an extended bar and a control member. The rod holders are for respectively holding a head piece rod of the head piece of a car seat, They are connected to the control members by the extended bars. The extended bars, the rod holders and the control members are respectively provided with a insertion hole, so that a through hole can be formed in each of the mounting units; the through hole is for receiving an extended rod from the hanger part. The control members and the extended rods are further provided with locking mechanisms, so that the rods can be secured in the mounting units.
The secondary objective of the present invention is to provided an automobile clothes hanger bracket wherein the mounting units are replaceable when they are broken. Since the mounting units are separated from the hanger part, the replacement can be done without any difficulty.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to
To use the automobile clothes hanger bracket, the head piece 2 is firstly removed from the car seat 1, as shown in
According to the aforesaid description, the present invention has at least the following advantages. Even if the hanger part 20 is not used, the mounting units 30 can stayed on the head piece rods 3 of a car seat 1. Thereby, the hanger part 20 does not occupy the car space. Since the rod holders 32 of the mounting units 30 entirely hold the head piece rods 3, it is not possible that the automobile clothes hanger bracket would fall off the car seat 1 by external dragging. Since the hanger part 20 and the mounting units 30 are separated, a broken mounting unit 30 can be replaced alone, without wasting the whole automobile clothes hanger bracket. Mounting and dismounting of the hanger part 20 is simply achieved by pressing the control knobs 36 of the mounting units 30.
The present invention is thus described, and it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
Claims
1. An automobile clothes hanger bracket, comprising:
- a substantially T-shaped hanger part having two extended rods at a bottom end thereof, each of said extended rods having a locking notch on a bottom face thereof; and
- a pair of identical mounting units, each of said mounting units consisting of a rod holders, an extended bar and a control member, said rod holders and said control members being connected by said extended bars, each of said rod holders having a vertical through hole for receiving a head piece rod of a head piece of a car seat, each of said control members having a hollow central portion for housing a control knob and an insertion holes on a lateral side for passing an extended rod of said hanger part, each of said control knobs having a horizontal through hole for passing an extended rod of said hanger part, each of said extended bars having a horizontal insertion hole for passing an extended rod of said hanger part, whereby said extended rods can be respectively inserted into said mounting units;
- wherein each of said control knobs is further provided with a thinner section for mounting a spring, whereby said springs urge said control knobs upward so that said though holes of said control knobs will not align with said insertion holes of said control members;
