TROUSERS RACK

Abstract

The present invention relates to a trousers rack which uses the differences in the thickness of a thick upper portion and a thin lower portion above and beneath the waist seam line of trousers. The trousers rack of the present invention can be used in the following manner: a user holds the waist pair of the trousers with two hands, inserts the lower portion beneath the waist seam line into the gap between protruding support bars of hanging means, and releases the two hands from the trousers, such that the upper portion which is thicker than the lower portion beneath the waist seam line of trousers naturally gets caught between the support bars and the trousers can be hung on the trousers rack. The number of hanging means can vary as need, so as to increase or decrease a trousers storage space. Further, the width of the gap between the support bars can be adjusted in accordance with the thickness of trousers, thereby improving user convenience. The trousers rack of the present invention enables a user to hold the upper portion from the waist seam line of the trouser with two hands and insert the upper portion into the gap between the support bars protruding forwardly from the body of hanging means coupled to a guide bar fixed on the wall or a hanger bas, thereby enabling the trousers to be hung and stored in a remarkably easy manner. Further, the trousers rack of the present invention enables trousers to be inserted and stored in a spread state instead of being folded, so as to prevent the trousers from becoming winkled. The trousers insertion area of the gap between the support bars is wider so as to enable the significantly east entry and exit of trousers.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a trousers rack, and in particular to a trousers rack which is directed to using a feature that an upper portion is thicker and a lower portion is thinner about a waist seam line of trousers, and an upper portion of a waist seam line, which portion is usually thicker than a lower portion of a waist seam line, can be naturally mounted on a support part in such a manner that a user holds a waist seam line portion of trousers with two hands and inserts a lower portion of a waist seam line portion and then releases the same, and a trousers insertion space can increase or decrease by changing the number of hanging parts, thus consequently adjusting the width between support parts depending on the thickness of trousers, which leads to easier use.

BACKGROUND ART

Trousers, generally, are stored in such a manner that the trousers are folded upward and downward and the folded portions are hung on a rack or that trousers are made upside down and are caught by tongs and then are stored.

In the former case, since it is needed to hang trousers with one hand holding a hanger and with the other hand holding trousers, such trousers hanging procedure seems to be very hard while hanging trousers on a rack. Since the trousers are folded upward and downward, the folded portions might be wrinkled, which results in inconvenience when wearing trousers. In the latter case, since it is needed to hang trousers with one hand trousers and with the other hand widening tongs, such operations cause inconvenience, and the marks of tongs remain at the ends of trousers due to the use of the tongs after the trousers are hung.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the trousers rack 100 according to the present invention comprises a body part 110 and a support part 120.

The body part 110 is formed in a plate shape and comprises a plurality of engaging holes 112 formed at the upper and lower sides in order to attach the body part 110 to a wall surface or a closet, for example, a support part 140 (not shown) by using a fixing part such as a screw, a nail or the like. A certain adhesive or a double-sided tape might be provided at a back surface instead of a fixing part, thus to more easily attach the same. The above attaching way is known in the art, so the detailed descriptions thereon will be omitted.

The support part 120 is formed in a bar shape and is protruded at a regular intervals in series from the front surface of the body part 110, with a plurality of insertion space parts 130 being formed at regular intervals between the support parts 120. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the support part 120 is formed in such a manner to get thinner from the rear side to the front side when seeing from the top. So, the widths (s, s′) of the insertion space part 130 are getting wider from the rear side to the front side, the construction of which is designed because a zipper is generally provided at a front of trousers, and when the trousers is to be stored, the portion corresponding to the zipper is folded inwardly, and the front wrinkles of the trousers appear on the front side, so the front side of the trousers becomes thicker than the rear side. So, the width between the support parts of the trousers rack is designed in order for the front side to be wider than the rear side, thus obtaining a more natural storing. In addition, it is designed in order for the loading and unloading procedures of the trousers to perform easier with the aid of the difference in the widths, the operation of which will be described below.

Even though the widths (s, s′) of the trousers insertion space part 130 are getting wider toward the front side, the area (s) of the front side is designed not to be wider than the thickness of the waist seam line engaging part formed at the upper side of the trousers.

It is preferred that the length of the support part 120 is about 36˜40 cm long, and more preferably, the length of 36 cm is set as the type A, and the length of 38 cm is set as the type B, and the length of 40 cm is set as the type C, respectively. In case of the type A, in terms of the area ratio of the trousers insertion space part, the front side is 6 mm, and the rear side is 4 mm, and in case of the type B, the front side is 8 mm, and the rear side is 6 mm, and in case of the type C, the front side is 10 mm, and the rear side is 8 mm, the options of which can be selected by the users.

In the above manner, there are provided three types since the widths are different depending on the sizes of the trousers. Since the widths might vary depending on the fall and spring type, the summer type and the winter type, it is needed to flexibly cope with the situations. The above size example is provided only for the illustrative purpose, and their sizes might change.

In addition, an extension part 114 is further provided at both sides of the body part 110. As shown in FIG. 3, when at least two body parts 110 are connected in a horizontal direction, the connected portions are formed of a trouser insertion space part 130. The length “y” of the extension part 114 is preferably half of the width (s′) of the rear side of the trouser insertion space part 130, by means of which it is possible to use the space in maximum, thus effectively storing the trousers.

The trousers rack 100 formed of the body part 110 and the support part 120 is preferably made from a wooden material or a plastic material or a metallic material, which materials might be selected.

The use state and operations of the trousers rack 100 with the above construction according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a use state of a trousers rack according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a use state of a trousers rack according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 6A and 6B are horizontal cross sectional views illustrating an operation relationship of a trousers rack according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the trousers rack 100 according to the present invention is characterized in that the body part 110 might be directly attached to a wall surface, a closet or the like; however, for more stable attachments, it is preferably attached to the support part 140, in other words, to a reinforcing plate material 142 attached to a wall surface, a closet or the like or to a hanger support part 144 which is uprightly installed on the floor.

At this time, when the reinforcing plate material 142 is attached to a wall surface or the closet, it is attached by a certain fixing member such as a bolt, a screw or the like. The body part 110 of the trousers rack 100 attached to the front surface of the attached reinforcing plate material 142 might be effectively attached with the aid of one of the above fixing members.

The hanger support part 144 has a structure which is uprightly installed on the floor and is preferably made from a metal, a plastic or a wooden material. On the upper side of the hanger support part 144 is provided an attachment surface 144′ to which the body part 110 of the trousers rack 100 is attached. The body part 110 might be inserted into a welding portion or an attachment surface or might be attached by selecting one among the fixing members 150. It is preferred to form the hanger support part 144 in a separable structure for easier transportations.

When the trousers rack 100 according to the present invention is installed using the support part 140, as indicated by the broken line in the drawing, the trousers 200 are hung and stored. The trousers 200 are characterized in that the waist seam line part 210 surrounding a users waist is thicker than the other portions, and the waist seam line rings 130 are formed at the waist seam line part 210.

In a state that the trousers 200 are arranged long, in other word, not folded, when the lower end portions of the waist seam line engaging part 210 are inserted into the trousers insertion space part 130 formed between the support parts 120, both sides of the waist seam line engaging part 210 which are relatively thicker are naturally placed on the upper surface of the support part 120 provided at both sides of the trousers insertion space part 130 like the trousers are unfolded and remain long, and are stored. The above operation will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the trousers 200 are inserted into the trousers insertion space part 130 formed at the front side of the trousers rack 100 through the portions thinner than the waist seam line engaging part 210, namely, through the portions where the pockets below the waist seam line engaging part 210 are formed. At this time, the front side of the trousers insertion space part 130 is wider, so it is obvious that the loading and unloading procedures of the trousers can be easily performed.

As shown in FIG. 6B, when the insertion procedure of the trousers is completed, both sides of the waist seam line engaging part 210 are naturally placed on the upper surface of the support part 120 provided at both sides of the trousers insertion space part 130, and in the same manner, the trousers 200 are inserted into another trousers insertion space part 130, thus storing multiple trousers.

The trousers 200 storing procedure is completed as the trousers are inserted into the trousers insertion space part 130 by using the differences in the thicknesses of the trousers, so it is possible to easily store the trousers without forming any wrinkles. In addition, since the front side of the trousers insertion space part 130 is wider, the loading and unloading procedures can be easily performed, and multiple trousers 200 can be concurrently stored in a limited space, thus efficiently using the space. In particular, when at least two trousers racks 100 are connected and used, the extension part 114 is provided at the connected portion, which might be used as another trousers insertion space part 130, so the applicability of the space is optimized.

The trousers rack according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating part of a trousers rack according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 8A is an enlarged perspective view illustrating a hanging part according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8B is a plane view illustrating a hanging part, FIG. 9 is a perspective view illustrating part of a trousers rack according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view illustrating a hanging part according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a schematic plane view illustrating a trousers rack according to anther embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the trousers rack 100′ with an adjustable width comprise a guide bar 310, a hanging part 320 and a fixing apparatus 330.

The guide bar 310 has a certain length and is formed in a rectangular shape, the shape of which might be a triangle shape, a polygonal shape or the like. The guide bar 310 can be fixedly attached to a wall surface, a closet, a support part or the like by using a fixing member such as a bolt, a screw, a nail or the like. When it is fixed by using a fixing member such as a bolt, a screw, a nail or the like, it is preferred to fix with the aid of a bracket 312 engaged to both ends of a guide bar 310 rather than directly engaging the guide bar 310, and it can be attached to a wall surface with the aid of a mounting member 316 which serves to fix a side surface of the guide bar to a wall surface.

The hanging part 320 comprises a body 322 having communicating left and right sides for a detachable insertion with the guide bar 310, and a support part 326 forwardly protruded from the front side of the boy 322. As at least two hanging parts 320 are engaged with each other, a trousers insertion space part 328 acting as an accommodation space is formed, thus inserting trousers into between the support parts 326. A protrusion part 324 is protruded, from both sides of the body 322, more than the widths (t, t′) of the support part 326 in order to form the trousers insertion space part 328. In the above state, as two hanging parts 320 are forced to be close to each other, two protrusion parts 324 meet, thus forming a trousers insertion space part 328 between the support parts 326.

At this time, since the hanging part 320 is detachable, the space of the trousers insertion space part 328 can increase or decrease depending on the number of user's trousers.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view illustrating part of a trousers rack according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view illustrating a hanging part according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a protrusion bar 323 and an insertion part 325 are formed at a lower side of the body 322, so it is possible to insert into the guide bar 310 in an upper and lower direction, not inserting in a lateral direction, and the body 322 can be disengaged from the guide bar 310 by separating a handle part 327 with the thumb and index fingers holding the same.

The guide bar 310 can be attached to a wall surface as its both sides are attached thereto with the aid of a mounting part 316. The mounting part 316 has a mounting groove 318 at its central portion so that the side surface of the guide bar 310 can be fixedly inserted.

As not shown in the drawings, the mounting part 316 can be fixed at a wall surface by using a nail or a screw, and the mounting groove 318 has the same size and shape as the lateral surface of the guide bar 310.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 11, the support part 326 is formed in such a manner that its thickness is getting thinner from the rear side to the front side when seeing from the top (t, t′). The widths (s, s′) of the trousers insertion space part 328 are getting wider from the rear side to the front side because a zipper is provided at the front side of the trousers, and when storing the trousers, the zipper portions are folded inwardly, and the front side wrinkles of the trousers are arranged to appear on the front side, so the front side is thicker than the rear side. Therefore, the width between the support parts of the trousers rack is wider at its front side than its rear side the constriction of which allows the trousers to be more naturally stored. In addition, the loading and unloading of the trousers are easy with the aid of the difference in the widths. The above operation will be described below in more details.

Here even when the widths (s, s′) of the trousers insertion space part 328 are getting wider toward the front side, it is preferred that the area (s) of the front side is not wider than the thickness of the waist seam line engaging part formed at the upper side of the trousers.

Since the thickness of the trousers changes depending on the kinds of the trousers used in the fall and spring, the summer and the winter, there is provided an interval maintaining part 314 to effectively cope with the changing thicknesses of the trousers. When it is needed to store the trousers thicker than the width of the trousers insertion space part 328, the interval maintaining part 314 is inserted and engaged between the bodies 322 in order to widen the width of the trousers insertion space part 328.

The interval maintaining part 314 is characterized in that its left and right sides communicate with each other, and its lower side is open, so it serves to widen the trousers insertion space part 328 formed between the support parts 326 as it is engaged between the bodies 322 of the hanging part 320. When engaging the same, the bodies 322 and 322 are forced to be spaced apart, and the open, lower side of the interval maintaining part 314 is widened and inserted into between the bodies 322.

Finally, the fixing apparatus 330 is engaged at both sides of the guide bar 310 in order to prevent the hanging part 320 from moving randomly, and comes into close contact with the hanging part 320. The fixing apparatus 330 comprises a clip 332 the left and right sides of which pass through to engage with the guide bar 310, and a butterfly bolt 334 which is bolt-engaged to the upper surface of the clip 332 and which comes into close contact with the upper surface of the guide bar 310, thus preventing the clip 332 from moving randomly.

At this time, it is needed to release the restriction force of the fixing apparatus 330 in order to disengage the interval maintaining part 314, and the bodies 322 of hanging part 320 are spaced apart, and then the interval maintaining part 314 is disposed between them. The movement of the hanging part 320 is prevented by restricting the fixing apparatus 330.

In addition, the trousers rack 100′ consisting of the guide bar 310, the hanging part 320 and the fixing apparatus 300 and capable of adjusting widths is preferably made from a wooden material, a plastic material or a metallic material. One of the materials can be optionally selected.

The use state and operation relationship of the trousers rack 100′ according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 12 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a use state of a trousers rack according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 13 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a use state of a trousers rack according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a schematic perspective and partially enlarged view illustrating a use state of a trousers rack according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 15 is a schematic side cross sectional view of FIG. 14, and FIGS. 16A and 16B are schematic plane views illustrating an operation relationship of a trousers rack according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 17 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a construction that a trousers rack can be used as a top hanger according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the trousers rack 100′ with an adjustable width according to the present invention might be attached to the wall surface by using a mounting part 316 or might be directly attached to a wall surface, a closet or the like. In order to more stably attach, the trousers rack might be installed at a reinforcing plate 342 which is attached to a support part 340, namely, a wall surface and a closet, or a hanger support 344 which is uprightly installed on a floor.

At this time, when the reinforcing plate 342 is attached to a wall surface or a closet, a fixing member 150 such as a bolt, a nail, a screw or the like might be used. The guide bar 310 of the trousers rack 100′ with an adjustable width attached to the front side of the attached reinforcing plate 342 might be attached by using one of a fixing part 150′ and a bracket 312.

In addition, the hanger support 344 is formed in a structure which is uprightly installed on a floor and is made from a metal, a plastic or a wooden material, and the guide bar 310 might be directly installed at the hanger support 344 or might be installed by inserting the hanger support 344 into a fixture 345 with a mounting part 346.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the hanger support 344 is formed of a pair of an upper connection bar 360 and a lower connection bar 370, with the outer diameter portion of the upper connection bar 362 being inserted into the inner diameter portion of the lower connection bar 372.

The mounting part 346 is formed in a L-shape and has a fixture 345 at its lower side for allowing the upper connection bar 360 to be inserted, and the upper connection bar 360 is inserted into the fixture 345, and the guide bar 310 is inserted into one side of the mounting part 346, and the guide bar 310 is fixed by means of the mounting part 346 and the upper connection bar 360.

A height extension part 380 is inserted into between the upper connection bar 360 and the lower connection bar 370 depending on the length of the trousers, thus forming a certain height. The height of the guide bar 310 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the mounting part 346.

When the trousers rack 100′ with an adjustable width according to the present invention is installed with the aid of the support part 340, as indicated by the broken line in the drawings, the trousers are prepared and hung, thus storing the same. Here, the common trousers 200 have the waist seam line engaging part 210, which is thicker than other portions and surrounds a users waist. The waist seam line rings 220 are generally attached to the portions.

In a state that the trousers 200 are arranged long in an unfolded state, the lower ends of the clothes of the waist seam line engaging part 210 are inserted into the trousers insertion space part 328 formed between the support parts 326. In this state, both sides of the waist seam line engaging part 210, which are relatively thicker, are naturally placed on the upper surface of the support part 326 disposed at both sides of the trousers insertion space part 328, so the trousers 200 are stored in a longitudinally unfolded state. The above construction is shown in FIG. 15.

As shown in FIG. 16A, the trousers 200 are inserted into the trousers insertion space part 328 formed at the front side of the body 322 of the hanging part 320 of the trouser rack 100 with an adjustable width, and at this time, the trousers are inserted through the portions thinner than the waist seam line engaging part 210, namely, the portions where the lower pockets of the waist seam line engaging part 210 are formed. At this time, since the front side of the trousers insertion space part 328 is wider, the loading and unloading procedures are easily performed.

As shown in FIG. 16B, when the insertion procedure of the trousers is completed, both sides of the waist seam line engaging part 210 are naturally placed on the upper surface of the support part 326 provided at both sides of the trousers insertion space part 328, and in the same manner, the trousers 200 are inserted into another trousers insertion space part 328, thus storing multiple trousers.

The hanging part 320 is easily detached by separating the fixing apparatus 330 from the guide bar 310. When storing trousers, the hanging parts are prepared as many as the number of the trousers to be stored, and are engaged with each other, along the width adjustments.

The trousers insertion space part 328 formed by the hanging part 320 might increase or decrease its storing space by further engaging or disengaging the interval maintaining part 314 by a certain number depending on the thickness of the trousers with the aid of the interval maintaining part 314 disposed between the bodies 322.

The trousers 200 are inserted into the trousers insertion space part 328 by using the thickness of the trousers, thus completing the storage of the trousers, so it is possible to easily store trousers without forming wrinkles. Since the front side of the trousers insertion space part 328 is wider, the loading and unloading procedures are easy, and multiple trousers 200 can be efficiently stored in a limited space, thus efficiently using the space. In particular, since the hanging part 320 is equipped with an interval maintaining part 314 in order to artificially expand the trousers insertion space part 328, it is possible to concurrently store diverse kinds of trousers without any limits.

As shown in FIG. 17, part or whole parts of the hanging part 320 might be separated, so the conventional hangers 390 might be hung on the guide bar 310, thus hanging the tops of the user.

The above descriptions are supposed to describe the features and technical advantages in wider ranges in an attempt to help better understand the accompanying claims. Additional features and advantages belonging to the claims have been described in the above. It is obvious that an ordinary person with skills can easily perform the purposes similar with those of the present invention in terms of the concepts and feature embodiments of the present invention.

In addition, in order to perform the same purposes of the present invention, all changes and modifications that fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims without departing from the inherent technical concepts and spirits of the present invention.
