[Mode for Invention]

[0029] The detailed configuration and operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings

[0030] First, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an outer appearance of a wall-attachable hanger according to the present invention. As shown in the drawing, the wall-attachable hanger according to the present invention may include an attachment plate 10, a rear surface of which is attached to a wall 91, and a hanging rod 20 that is a rod, a rear end of which is connected to the attachment plate 10 and which protrudes toward a front side of the attachment plate 10.

[0031] Wall-attachable hangers shown left and right sides of FIG. 3 according to the present invention may be the same hanger but not different types of hangers, and the wall-attachable hanger in a state shown in the right side of the drawing by separating the hanging rod 20 from the attachment plate 10, rotating the hanging rod 20 by 180 degrees to re-coupling the hanging rod 20 to the attachment plate 10, and then rotating the entire hanger by 180 degrees in the hanger shown in the left side of the drawing.

[0032] That is, according to the present invention, the wall-attachable hanger may be freely converted in the form in which the hanging rod 20 is formed at a lower end of the attachment plate 10 as shown in the left side of the drawing or in the form in which the hanging rod 20 is formed at an upper end of the attachment plate 10 as shown in the right side of the drawing, and thus as shown in a left side of FIG. 4, when the hanging rod 20 is formed at the lower end of the attachment plate 10, a heavy object may be stably supported, and as shown in a right side of FIG. 4, when the hanging rod 20 is formed at the upper end of the attachment plate 10, the attachment plate 10 may be concealed behind the object, thereby ensuring aesthetics.

[0033] Conversion of a coupling state of the hanging rod 20 of the wall-attachable hanger according to the present invention may be achieved through a coupling structure between the attachment plate 10 and the hanging rod 20 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and in the state in which the hanging rod 20 is completely coupled to the attachment plate 10, the wall 91 and the attachment plate 10 may be fixedly adhered to each other while a flat surface is formed on the rear surface of the wall-attachable hanger according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0034] According to the present invention, the attachment plate 10 may realize adhesion force between the wall 91 and the hanger, and although not illustrated, various installation methods may be applied, and for example, the rear surface of the attachment plate 10 and the surface of the wall 91 may be adhered through adhesives or adhesive sheets or the attachment plate 10 and the wall 91 may be coupled to each other by a nail, a screw, or the like to adhere the rear surface of the attachment plate 10 to the surface of the wall 91, and an attachment method between the attachment plate 10 and the wall 91 may be selectively applied by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, and thus is not defined in detail by the claims.

[0035] As in the dictionary, the hanging rod 20 of the wall-attachable hanger according to the present invention may be a rod for hanging a support object, and irrespective of a coupling method of the attachment plate 10 of the hanging rod 20, a front end of the hanging rod 20 may be positioned above a rear end of the hanging rod 20.

[0036] According to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 to 8, the hanging rod 20 may be configured as a rod inclined upward, and thus when an object is hung by the hanging rod 20, a support point of the object may be smoothly moved toward a rear side of the hanging rod 20 to stably support the object, as shown in FIG. 4, and in this case, the hanging rod 20 may have various shapes such as a straight inclined shape or an arc shape as shown in FIGS. 3 to 8.

[0037] In the wall-attachable hanger according to the present invention, to maximize an effect of concealing the attachment plate 10 as shown in the right side of FIG. 4, a head part 12 to which the hanging rod 20 is connected may be formed at the upper end of the attachment plate 10, and a neck part 11 for connecting the head part 12 and the attachment plate 10 may be formed, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5.

[0038] The head part 12 connected to the coupler 21 of the rear end of the hanging rod 20 may have a surface area that is slightly increased compared with the coupler 21 of the hanging rod 20, and thus may have a surface area that is significantly reduced compared with a body of the attachment plate 10, and the neck part 11 may also function as a connector between the head part 12 and the attachment plate 10 and may have a surface area that is reduced compared with the body of the attachment plate 10.

[0039] That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the hanger according to the present invention, the neck part 11 and the head part 12 that are formed at the upper end of the attachment plate 10 may be components for connection between the attachment plate 10 and the hanging rod 20, and the body of the attachment plate 10 below the neck part 11 may be actually responsible for distribution of adhesion force between the hanger and the wall 91.

[0040] As such, the rear end of the hanging rod 20 may not be simply connected to the upper end of the attachment plate 10, and instead, the neck part 11 and the head part 12 may be formed at the upper end of the attachment plate 10 and the hanging rod 20 may be connected to the head part 12, and thus a portion exposed out of the object may be minimized and overall aesthetics may be improved.

[0041] As described above, in the wall-attachable hanger according to the present invention, the hanging rod 20 may be detachably configured, and a coupled direction of the hanging rod 20 may be adjusted upward or downward, and thus as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a method of use may be freely selected, which may be achieved using a sectional shape of the coupler 21 of the hanging rod 20 and a sectional shape of an engagement hole 13 formed through the attachment plate 10 to corresponding to the sectional shape of the coupler 21, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8.

[0042] That is, the engagement hole 13 formed through the attachment plate 10 may be formed in an end of the attachment plate 10, and the coupler 21 having a sectional shape corresponding to the engagement hole 13 may be formed at a rear end of the hanging rod 20, and in this case, sectional shapes of the engagement hole 13 and the coupler 21 may each be a non-circular point-symmetric shape.

[0043] Accordingly, a direction of the hanging rod 20 may be rotated by 180 degrees to be smoothly coupled to the engagement hole 13, and the hanging rod 20 coupled to the engagement hole 13 may also be firmly fixed.

[0044] As in the dictionary, the non-circular point-symmetric shape applied to the sectional area of the coupler 21 of the hanging rod 20 may be a shape that is maintained in the same shape even if the figure is rotated by 180 degrees using a central point of the shape as an axis, and in the embodiment shown in the drawing, an oval sectional shape may be applied.

[0045] Although the circle is a representative point-symmetric figure, the circle may be excluded from the sectional shape of the coupler 21 and the engagement hole 13 of the present invention, and this is because, in the case of the circle, a coupling direction of the hanging rod 20 is freely adjusted, but the hanging rod 20 is unnecessarily rotated to remove a support function of an object.

[0046] An enlarged hole 14 having an inside diameter larger than that of the engagement hole 13 may be formed around the engagement hole 13 of the rear surface of the attachment plate 10, a magnification part 23 having a shape corresponding to the enlarged hole 14 may be formed at a rear end of the coupler 21, and here, the enlarged hole 14 and the magnification part 23 may form a point-symmetric sectional shape.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, according to a modified embodiment of the present invention, the hanging rod 20 may be coupled to the engagement hole 13 by inserting a front end of the hanging rod 20 toward a front surface from of the rear surface of the attachment plate 10, and as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the magnification part 23 having an enlarged sectional area may be formed at the rear end of the coupler 21 of the hanging rod 20, thereby preventing the hanging rod 20 from completely passing through the engagement hole 13 and separating forward.

[0048] That is, the magnification part 23 formed at the rear end of the coupler 21 of the hanging rod 20 may function as a kind of stopper and may prevent separation of the hanging rod 20 while the magnification part 23 is adhered to a perimeter of the engagement hole 13 of the rear surface of the attachment plate 10.

[0049] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the hanging rod 20 and the engagement hole 13 may be coupled to each other, the magnification part 23 may be fully embedded inside the attachment plate 10 to form a flat surface over the entire rear surface of the attachment plate 10, thereby ensuring adhesion between the attachment plate 10 and the wall 91 and maintaining adhesion force therebetween.

[0050] The flat surface of the rear surface of the attachment plate 10 around the magnification part 23 needs to be formed irrespective of a coupling direction of the hanging rod 20 with respect to the engagement hole 13, and thus a shape of the magnification part 23 also needs to be form a point-symmetric shape, the enlarged hole 14 having a shape corresponding to the magnification part 23 may be formed outside of the rear surface of the attachment plate of the engagement hole 13 corresponding to the magnification part 23, as shown in FIG. 11, and the magnification part 23 may be completely input and coupled to the enlarged hole 14, thereby forming a flat surface over the entire rear surface of the attachment plate 10, as shown in FIG. 12.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 8, the front end of the hanging rod 20 may be spaced apart from a central line of the coupler 21, that is, the hanging rod 20 may not form a straight line across the body and the coupler 21, but may rather form an inclined, curved or bent line, and accordingly, when the hanging rod 20 is appropriately coupled, the front end of the hanging rod 20 may be positioned above the rear end thereof, an object supported by the hanging rod 20 may not be separated from the hanging rod 20, and the hanging rod 20 may have a curved structure as in FIG. 9 in addition to the inclined shape as in FIG. 8.
