Description

  The present invention relates to a chair hanger attached to a chair.

  Conventionally, various chairs provided with hangers have been proposed so that a seated person can easily wear a so-called jacket such as a suit or a coat (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The thing of the said patent document 1 is formed so that the hanger itself can be elastically deformed so that the operation | work which puts on a jacket and the operation | work which remove | hangs the hung coat can be performed easily. Specifically, the hanger of the chair described in Patent Document 1 includes a hanger body for directly hanging a jacket, and a support hook that is attached to the backrest and supports the hanger body from below, with the base end side attached. When a load is applied to the hanger body, the support rod is elastically deformed.

  However, if the support rod is configured to be elastically deformable as in the above-mentioned patent document, when the support rod is elastically deformed, the entire position of the hanger body moves greatly due to the deformation, and the outer jacket hung on the hanger body may be displaced. Or, it will cause a problem such as the outer jacket that has been worn off from the hanger.

Japanese Patent No. 4502048

  The present invention focuses on the above-described points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hanger for a chair in which clothes are suitably maintained while clothes are not easily displaced or dropped.

  In order to achieve such an object, the present invention takes the following measures.

  In other words, the hanger of the chair according to the present invention has an elastically deformable support rod that is erected from the back of the seated person to a position where the outer garment can be hung, and an elastic that is provided at the upper end of the support rod and extends in the lateral direction. And a hanger body having a high friction member made of a material having a friction coefficient higher than that of the surface of the support rod.

  In such a case, since the high friction member having a friction coefficient larger than that of the surface of the support rod is positioned at least on the surface of the hanger body, the jacket is not easily displaced even if the hanger body moves greatly due to the deformation of the support rod. Become. As a result, the outerwear is effectively maintained in a state where it is hung on the hanger body. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a hanger for a chair in which clothes are suitably maintained and clothes are not easily displaced or dropped.

  In addition, if a load is applied to the hanger, not only the support rod but also the hanger body is elastically deformed, so that the hanger body is also elastically deformed by deforming the entire hanger as compared to the case where only the support rod is elastically deformed. If the excessive deformation of the support rod is suppressed, the hanger body will move greatly, causing an overall deviation from the hanger body and the outerwear that is hung, etc., and the outerwear etc. may be displaced or dropped off. Can be effectively avoided.

  Further, as a configuration for suitably deforming the hanger body in conjunction with the deformation of the support rod to promote smooth deformation of the entire hanger, the hanger body covers the core material attached to the support rod and the core material. The structure which has the said high friction member can be mentioned.

  Further, in order to smoothly deform the entire hanger, it is preferable to form the core material integrally with the support rod.

  In order to make it easier to attach options such as shoulder pads to the hanger body, it is desirable to form a groove extending in the lateral direction between the hanger body and the support rod.

  In particular, as a specific configuration for securely attaching an option to be attached to the hanger, it is preferable to form the groove portion continuously over the front, side, and rear of the hanger body.

  In addition, in order to effectively avoid the influence of the deformation of the support rod and the hanger body due to the external force from the one end side on the other end side and appropriately maintain the state where the clothes are hung, One end side support portion and the other end side support portion that support one end side and the other end side of the hanger body, and a base end connection portion that connects the one end side support portion and the other end side support portion on the base end side are provided. It is desirable that

  The inner shell 32 that is guided by the slide guide mechanism 33 having the above configuration and slides in the front-rear direction can be positioned and locked at a desired slide position by the slide positioning mechanism 34.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 13, the slide positioning mechanism 34 includes an operation member 341 that can move up and down between the lower lock position (D) and the upper lock release position (U), and the sliding movement of the inner shell 32. Accordingly, a plurality of positioning engaging portions 31r selectively corresponding to the operation member 341 are provided. In the slide positioning mechanism 34, the inner shell 32 is prohibited from sliding while the operation member 341 is lowered to the lower lock position (D) and engaged with the corresponding engagement portion 31 r, and the operation member 341 is moved. In this state, the engagement with the engaging portion 31r is released while the upper shell is released to the upper unlocking position (U), and the sliding movement of the inner shell 32 is allowed. An operation end 349 of the operation member 341 protrudes toward the lower surface 31d side of the outer shell 31, and a contact surface that locks the operation member 341 on the outer shell 31 at the upper lock release position (U). 31m is provided. The operating member 341 is an independent part that is separate from both the outer shell 31 and the inner shell 32, and is in a lower locked position (by a resilient repulsive force of a cushion 35 disposed on the inner shell 32. D) elastically biased in the direction.

More specifically, the operating member 341 is inserted through the holding portion 324 of the inner shell 32 so as to be movable up and down, and the lower end side is passed through a slit 31 h provided in the outer shell 31 and extending in the front-rear direction.

The cap 93 has a plate-like cap body 931, a hooking projection 932 hooked on the upper hooking portion 925c of the base end connecting portion 925, an insertion rib 933 inserted into the insertion hole 925d, and an insertion rib And a retaining claw 934 that can be engaged with the support rod 92 at the same time as the insertion of 933.

  The hanger 9 having the above-described configuration is attached to the backrest 5 as follows. First, the support fitting 92 and the hanger body 91 are temporarily fixed by fitting the outer fitting portion 925a into the plate base 96 attached to the back side of the back shell 54. In this state, a bolt (not shown) is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 925 b and screwed to the plate nut 95 attached to the front of the back shell 54. After the bolts are screwed, with the cap 93 slightly tilted forward, the latching protrusion 932 is aligned with the location of the upper hooking portion 925c, and the lower end side of the cap 93 is used as the support rod 92 with the latching protrusion 932 as a shaft. When pressed down, the insertion rib 933 is inserted into the insertion hole 925d and the retaining claw 934 is engaged with the claw receiver 925e, and the attachment of the cap 93 is completed.

In addition, the hanger 9 according to this embodiment includes a support rod 92 at one end side additional portion 922, the other end side additional portion 924 and the hanger body 91, and a groove formed between the support rod 92 and the hanger body 91. A shoulder pad 97 as shown in FIG. 22 can be mounted using the shape of 9a. The shoulder pad 97 is used to hang a jacket whose size tends to be larger than that of a normal jacket, such as a winter coat. Has the effect of increasing. Further, the shoulder pad 97 has a surface 97a made of a material having a friction coefficient equal to or higher than that of the high friction member 912. The shoulder pad 97 has a symmetrical shape, and is provided with an attachment hole 97b into which the side edge portion of the hanger 9 can be inserted at the inner center portion. The rib 97c corresponding to the shape of the groove 9a is formed on the front and rear of the mounting hole 97b and on the side end (not shown) so as to be surely positioned without causing a displacement. It has become.

  Therefore, the hanger 9 according to the present embodiment is hung in a state in which the outer jacket is difficult to shift by disposing the high friction member 912 on the surface of the hanger body 91 and elastically supports not only the support rod 92 but also the hanger body 91. It is configured to be deformable. That is, as indicated by an imaginary line in FIG. 2, when the support rod 92 is elastically deformed by an external force from one side, the region in the vicinity of the connecting portion 911b of the hanger body 91 is also elastically deformed according to the elastic deformation. Thereby, the elastic deformation hardly reaches the other end side of the support rod 92, that is, the other end side support portion 923 and the other end side attachment portion 924. As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent the outerwear hung on the hanger 9 from shaking greatly while maintaining a state in which the high friction member 912 is in contact with the hanger main body 91 without being displaced. There is nothing to do. In this embodiment, the round bar portion 911a of the hanger body 91 is the same material as the one end side support portion 921 and the other end side support portion 923 of the support rod 92 and has a small cross-sectional area. It is easier to deform than the support rod 92. Thereby, the hanger main body 91 can be smoothly deformed according to the deformation of the support rod 92.

  By setting it as the above structures, since the hanger 9 of the chair C which concerns on this embodiment has positioned the high-friction member 912 whose friction coefficient is larger than the surface of the support rod 92 at least the surface of the hanger main body 91, Even if the hanger body 91 moves greatly due to the deformation of the support rod 92, the outer jacket is not easily displaced. As a result, the outerwear is effectively maintained in a state where it is hung on the hanger body 91. That is, according to the present invention, the hanger 9 is realized in which clothes are suitably maintained and clothes are not easily displaced or dropped.

  In addition, when a load is applied to the hanger 9, not only the support rod 92 but also the hanger body 91 is elastically deformed. Therefore, when an external force is applied, the entire hanger 9 is deformed, and only the support rod 92 is elastically deformed. Compared to the case, the hanger body 91 is also elastically deformed and the excessive deformation of the support rod 92 is suppressed, so that the hanger body 91 moves greatly, resulting in an overall shift between the hanger body 91 and the outer jacket. However, it effectively avoids problems such as slipping or falling off.

  Further, in order to facilitate the smooth deformation of the hanger 9 as a whole by the deformation of the hanger body 91 being suitably linked with the deformation of the support rod 92, in this embodiment, the core material 911 in which the hanger body 91 is attached to the support rod 92. And the high friction member 912 covering the core material 911.

  In addition, in order to smoothly deform the hanger 9 as a whole, in this embodiment, the core material 911 is formed integrally with the support rod 92.

  Further, in order to make it easier to attach options such as shoulder pads to the hanger body 91, in this embodiment, a groove portion 9a extending in the lateral direction is formed between the hanger body 91 and the support rod 92.

  In particular, in order to securely attach the option attached to the hanger 9, in the present embodiment, the groove portion 9a is formed continuously over the front, side, and rear of the hanger body 91.

  In this embodiment, in order to effectively avoid the influence of the deformation of the support rod 92 and the hanger body 91 due to external force from one end side on the other end side, and suitably maintain the state where the clothes are hung, The support rod 92 is supported by one end side support portion 921 and the other end side support portion 923 that support one end side and the other end side of the hanger body 91, and the one end side support portion 921 and the other end side support portion 923 are the base ends. It has the structure which has the base end connection part 925 connected on the side.

In the present embodiment, the high friction member 912 is made of a material that is more flexible than the resin material constituting the support rod 92. The hanger body 91 has a loop shape that is easily deformed as a whole. And as above-mentioned, the upper shape part 912a can be bulged upward, and the shape loss of clothes can be suppressed effectively.

  The cap 93 is a resinous one that can form an outer shape that is continuous from the surface of the support rod 92 by being attached to the base end connecting portion 925. The cap 93 has a plate-like cap body 931, a hooking projection 932 hooked on the upper hooking portion 925c of the base end connecting portion 925, an insertion rib 933 inserted into the insertion hole 925d, and an insertion rib And a retaining claw 934 that can be engaged with the support rod 92 at the same time as the insertion of 933.

  The hanger 9 having the above-described configuration is attached to the backrest 5 as follows. First, the support fitting 92 and the hanger body 91 are temporarily fixed by fitting the outer fitting portion 925a into the plate base 96 attached to the back side of the back shell 54. In this state, a bolt (not shown) is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 925 b and screwed to the plate nut 95 attached to the front of the back shell 54. After the bolts are screwed, with the cap 93 slightly tilted forward, the latching protrusion 932 is aligned with the location of the upper hooking portion 925c, and the lower end side of the cap 93 is used as the support rod 92 with the latching protrusion 932 as a shaft. When pressed down, the insertion rib 933 is inserted into the insertion hole 925d and the retaining claw 934 is engaged with the claw receiver 925e, and the attachment of the cap 93 is completed.

  In addition, the hanger 9 according to this embodiment includes a support rod 92 at one end side additional portion 922, the other end side additional portion 924 and the hanger body 91, and a groove formed between the support rod 92 and the hanger body 91. A shoulder pad 97 as shown in FIG. 22 can be mounted using the shape of 9a. The shoulder pad 97 is used to hang a jacket whose size tends to be larger than that of a normal jacket, such as a winter coat. Has the effect of increasing. Further, the shoulder pad 97 has a surface 97a made of a material having a friction coefficient equal to or higher than that of the high friction member 912. The shoulder pad 97 has a symmetrical shape, and is provided with an attachment hole 97b into which the side edge portion of the hanger 9 can be inserted at the inner center portion. The rib 97c corresponding to the shape of the groove 9a is formed on the front and rear of the mounting hole 97b and on the side end (not shown) so as to be surely positioned without causing a displacement. It has become.

  Therefore, the hanger 9 according to the present embodiment is hung in a state in which the outer jacket is difficult to shift by disposing the high friction member 912 on the surface of the hanger body 91 and elastically supports not only the support rod 92 but also the hanger body 91. It is configured to be deformable. That is, as indicated by an imaginary line in FIG. 2, when the support rod 92 is elastically deformed by an external force from one side, the region in the vicinity of the connecting portion 911b of the hanger body 91 is also elastically deformed according to the elastic deformation. Thereby, the elastic deformation hardly reaches the other end side of the support rod 92, that is, the other end side support portion 923 and the other end side attachment portion 924. As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent the outerwear hung on the hanger 9 from shaking greatly while maintaining a state in which the high friction member 912 is in contact with the hanger main body 91 without being displaced. There is nothing to do. In this embodiment, the round bar portion 911a of the hanger body 91 is the same material as the one end side support portion 921 and the other end side support portion 923 of the support rod 92 and has a small cross-sectional area. It is easier to deform than the support rod 92. Thereby, the hanger main body 91 can be smoothly deformed according to the deformation of the support rod 92.

  By setting it as the above structures, since the hanger 9 of the chair C which concerns on this embodiment has positioned the high-friction member 912 whose friction coefficient is larger than the surface of the support rod 92 at least the surface of the hanger main body 91, Even if the hanger body 91 moves greatly due to the deformation of the support rod 92, the outer jacket is not easily displaced. As a result, the outerwear is effectively maintained in a state where it is hung on the hanger body 91. That is, according to the present invention, the hanger 9 is realized in which clothes are suitably maintained and clothes are not easily displaced or dropped.

  In addition, when a load is applied to the hanger 9, not only the support rod 92 but also the hanger body 91 is elastically deformed. Therefore, when an external force is applied, the entire hanger 9 is deformed, and only the support rod 92 is elastically deformed. Compared to the case, the hanger body 91 is also elastically deformed and the excessive deformation of the support rod 92 is suppressed, so that the hanger body 91 moves greatly, resulting in an overall shift between the hanger body 91 and the outer jacket. However, it effectively avoids problems such as slipping or falling off.

  Further, in order to facilitate the smooth deformation of the hanger 9 as a whole by the deformation of the hanger body 91 being suitably linked with the deformation of the support rod 92, in this embodiment, the core material 911 in which the hanger body 91 is attached to the support rod 92. And the high friction member 912 covering the core material 911.

  In addition, in order to smoothly deform the hanger 9 as a whole, in this embodiment, the core material 911 is formed integrally with the support rod 92.

  Further, in order to make it easier to attach options such as shoulder pads to the hanger body 91, in this embodiment, a groove portion 9a extending in the lateral direction is formed between the hanger body 91 and the support rod 92.

  In particular, in order to securely attach the option attached to the hanger 9, in the present embodiment, the groove portion 9a is formed continuously over the front, side, and rear of the hanger body 91.

  In this embodiment, in order to effectively avoid the influence of the deformation of the support rod 92 and the hanger body 91 due to external force from one end side on the other end side, and suitably maintain the state where the clothes are hung, The support rod 92 is supported by one end side support portion 921 and the other end side support portion 923 that support one end side and the other end side of the hanger body 91, and the one end side support portion 921 and the other end side support portion 923 are the base ends. It has the structure which has the base end connection part 925 connected on the side.
