MODE FOR INVENTION

[0040] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings so as to be easily implemented by those skilled in the art. However, the present invention may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.

[0041] FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating a trousers hanger according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] The trouser hanger 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention as a trousers hanger for hanging trousers 20 on a fixation member 10 such as a hanger rod of a cabinet or a hook of a wall surface may include a hook 110 and one or more trousers inner surface fixation portions 120 as illustrated in FIG. 2. Hereinafter, continuously referring to FIG. 2, each component will be described in detail.

[0043] The hook 110 is a component for hanging the trousers on the fixation member 10 such as the hanger rod of the cabinet or the hook of the wall surface. The hook 110 may be hung on the hanger rod or the hook or a nail of the wall surface because an upper end portion is bent in a hook shape as illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0044] The trousers inner surface fixation portion 120 is a component for fixing the inner surface of the trousers 20. The trousers inner surface fixation portion 120 may be provided at a lower end of the hook 110 as illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0045] Accordingly, since the components are provide, the trousers hanger 100 of the present invention may be hung on the fixation member 10 such as the hanger rod of the cabinet or the hook of the wall surface with the hook 110 while the inner surface of the trousers 20 is fixed through the trousers inner surface fixation portion 120, and in particular, the inner surface of the trousers 20 is fixed to prevent the outer surface of the trousers from being damaged unlike the conventional clip type trousers hanger gripping and fixing the outer surface of the trousers.

[0046] Hereinafter, referring back to FIG. 2, the trousers inner surface fixation portion 120 will be described in more detail.

[0047] The trousers inner surface fixation portion 120 may have a mechanism in which when the trousers 20 move downward by a gravity while being in contact with one side and the other side of the inner surface of the trousers 20, while one side and the other side of the inner surface of the trousers 20 are widened with the force. Therefore, the trousers 20 can be more rapidly and easily hung by omitting the clamping process unlike the conventional clip type trousers hanger griping and fixing the outer surface of the trousers with the clip.

[0048] Specifically, the trousers inner surface fixation portion 120 may include first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 and a widening unit 123 as illustrated in FIG. 2. The first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 may be in contact with one side and the other side of the inner surface of the trousers 20, respectively. The widening unit 123 may be provided between the first inner surface contact member 121 and the second inner surface contact member 122, and when the trousers 20 move downward by the gravity, the widening unit 123 may widen the first and second inner surface contact member 121 and 122. Accordingly, the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 can be widened by the widening unit 123 when the trousers 20 move downward by the gravity while the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 are in contact with one side and the other side of the inner surface of the trousers 20, respectively, so a sufficient force capable of maintaining the trousers 20 more tightly only by the gravity which moves the trousers 20 downward, and ultimately, external force such as elasticity is not required, that is, an elastic member is not separately required, so it is possible to simplify the configuration of the trousers hanger 100 of the present invention compared to a technology using the elastic member.

[0049] Further, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the widening unit 123 may include a center member 123a, a first link member 123b, and a second link member 123c. The center member 123a may be provided at the lower end of the hook 110. Both ends of the first link member 123b may be rotatably provided between the center member 123a and the first inner surface contact member 121, respectively, and both ends of the second link member 123c may be rotatably provided between the center member 123a and the second inner surface contact member 122. Therefore, when the trousers are released while the hook 110 is gripped with the hand while the first inner surface contact member 121 is in contact with one side of the inner surface of the trousers 20 and the second inner surface contact member 122 is in contact with the other side of the inner surface of the trousers 20, the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 can be widened in a direction of being estranged from each other while the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 move downward while the trousers move downward by a gravity and the first and second link members 123b and 123c are rotated, so ultimately, the inner surface of the trousers 20 can be firmly fixed to the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 by the widening, and wrinkling of the trousers 20 can be prevented while one side and the other side of the inner surface of the trousers 20 are tightly pulled.

[0050] Further, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the first and second link members 123b and 123c may be provided to be horizontally symmetric based on the center member 123a. Therefore, force of the same magnitude and direction may be transferred to one side and the other side of the inner surface of the trousers 20 with which the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 are in contact, respectively through the first and second link members 123b and 123c.

[0051] Further, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the widening unit 123 may further include a first friction member 123d, and a second friction member 123e. The first friction member 123d may be provided at a portion contacting one side of the inner surface of the trousers 20 in the first inner surface contact member 121 and may prevent slipping with the inner surface of the trousers 20, and the second friction member 123e may be provided at a portion contacting the other side of the inner surface of the trousers 20 in the second inner surface contact member 122 and may prevent slipping with the inner surface of the trousers 20. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a phenomenon in which the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 contacting the inner surface of the trousers 20 are slipped from the inner surface of the trousers 20 and come out while the trousers 20 move downward by the gravity. For example, each of the first and second friction members 123d and 123e may be made of a silicon material.

[0052] Further, referring back to FIG. 2, each of the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 may have an elongated shape, and terminals of the first and second link members 123b and 123c may be rotatably provided at a longitudinal center of the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122, respectively. Therefore, when the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 are in contact with the inner surface of the trousers 20 while being widened by rotating the first and second link members 123b and 123c, the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 can evenly distribute force a contact portion, so force applied to the inner surface of the trousers 20 is not concentrated on any specific site, but is evenly distributed to an entire contact surface, thereby preventing the damage to the trousers 20.

[0053] Further, the center member 123a may form one body with the hook 110 as illustrated in FIG. 2. Therefore, force applied between the hook 110 and the center member 123a may be more firmly supported while the trousers 20 are hung.

[0054] Hereinafter, a trousers hanger 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

[0055] FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically illustrating a trousers hanger according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] The trousers hanger 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that in the first embodiment of the present invention except that first and second downward rotation prevention members 223f and 223g are further included in the widening unit 123 as illustrated in FIG. 3, so this will be primarily described below.

[0057] The first downward rotation prevention members 223f may be provided at one side of the center member 123a, and may prevent the first link member 123b from rotating downward at a first predetermined angle or more. The second downward rotation prevention members 223g may be provided at the other side of the center member 123a, and may prevent the second link member 123c from rotating downward at a second predetermined angle or more.

[0058] Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first and second link members 123b and 123c from rotating downward at a predetermined angle or more, so the trousers inner surface fixation portion 120 may be smoothly inserted while the first and second link members 123b and 123c smoothly rotate upward, that is, a gap between the first and second inner surface contact members 121 and 122 is narrowed when the trousers inner surface fixation portion 120 is inserted into the inside of the trousers 20. For reference, when each of the first and second link members 123b and 123c further rotates downward at a point where each link member becomes at a right angle to the center member 123a due to absence of the first downward rotation prevention member 223f and the second downward rotation prevention member 223g, the first and second link members droop downward until the trousers inner surface fixation portion 120 is inserted into the inside of the trousers 20, so there may be inconvenience that a user should grip the first and second link members 123b and 123c so as not to rotate at the predetermined angle or more with the hand for smooth insertion.

[0059] For example, the first and second predetermined angles may be angles at which the first and second link members 123b and 123c become the right angle to the center member 123a, respectively.

[0060] Hereinafter, a trousers hanger 300 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

[0061] FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically illustrating a trousers hanger according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] The trousers hanger 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention is the same as that in the first or second embodiment of the present invention except first and second link members 323b and 323c as illustrated in FIG. 4, so this will be primarily described below.

[0063] Each of the first and second link members 323b and 323c may include a length adjustment unit B30 capable of adjusting a length. Therefore, the lengths of the first and second link members 323b and 323c may be adjusted according to an inner width (i.e., an internal circumference of the trousers) of the trousers 20.

[0064] For example, the length of each of the first and second link members 323b and 323c may be adjusted by a telescopic scheme as illustrated in FIG. 4, and each of the first and second link members 323b and 323c may have a plurality of adjustment holes B31, and when the length is adjusted, the length may be fixed by inserting a fixation structure B32 into the adjustment hole.

[0065] Hereinafter, a trousers hanger 400 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

[0066] FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically illustrating a trousers hanger according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In particular, FIG. 5 is a conceptual view illustrating the trousers are rotated around a center member to have a phase difference of 90 degrees from FIG. 1.

[0067] The trousers hanger 400 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that in any one of the first, second, or third embodiment of the present invention except that one or more trousers inner surface fixation portions 120 include first and second trousers inner surface fixation portions 120A and 120B as illustrated in FIG. 5, so this will be primarily described below.

[0068] The first trousers inner surface fixation portion 120A may be branched to a lower end of the hook 110 and may fix the inside of a first hem 21 of the trousers 20, and the second trousers inner surface fixation portion 120B may be branched to the lower end of the hook 110 and may fix the inside of a second hem 22 of the trousers 20. Therefore, two branched hems 21 and 22 of the trousers may be fixed up by turning up upper and lower portions of the trousers 20, respectively.

[0069] For reference, since the first and second trousers inner surface fixation portions 120A and 120B have the same components as the trousers inner surface fixation portion 120, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0070] While this invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical example embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
