Thebox 15 of thehanger 14 occupies a large volume and has complicate structure that necessitates relatively high manufacturing cost and causes inconveniences in connecting thehanger 14 to themetal rack 10. - U.S. Pat. No. 5,531,416 discloses a hanger having an upper edge adapted to hold to two metal wires on a top of a metal rack. The metal rack for use with the hanger disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,531,416 must have two adjacent metal wires provided at a front end of the top of the metal rack, and is therefore inconvenient for use.
- Generally, the metal rack is manufactured with low accuracy requirement, and it tends to have minor error in the space between two adjacent metal wires forming the metal rack. However, a position on the hanger for associating with the metal wires of the metal rack has fixed dimensions. Therefore, it is possible the hanger with fixed dimensions could not be fitly assembled to the metal rack that has errors in the size thereof.
- A primary object of the present invention is to provide a hanger that could be directly hooked to a vertical front edge of a metal rack and is therefore more convenient for use.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a hanger that could be assembled to a metal rack having errors in dimensions and is therefore more convenient for use.
- To achieve the above and other objects, the hanger for use on metal rack according to the present invention includes an open-bottomed hook portion located at an upper end of the hanger, an open-bottomed engaging recess located closely below the hook portion, and a supporting seat located at a lower free end of the hanger. The hanger is connected to and hung from a metal rack by hooking the hook portion to an upper horizontal metal bar at a vertical front edge of the metal rack and engaging the engaging recess with a lower horizontal metal bar at the vertical front edge of the metal rack. A crossbar may be stably supported at each end on the supporting seat of one hanger for holding a plurality of suit hangers thereon.
- The supporting seat defines an upper opening and a curve-sectioned channel, allowing a crossbar to force into the curve-sectioned channel via the upper opening.
- In the present invention, an upper part of the hanger is provided along a profile thereof with a vertically extended slit to cut the upper part of the hanger into two laterally symmetric halves. The hanger is connected to the vertical front edge of the metal rack with the slit aligned and engaged with one metal wire at the vertical front edge of the metal rack, so that the hanger is restrained from moving laterally on the metal rack.
- In the present invention, the hanger is provided below the engaging recess with an elastic latching member to normally elastically close a lower opening of the engaging recess, preventing the hanger from separating from the metal rack.

Themetal rack 30 is a known structure adapted to fix to a wall surface using fastening means (not shown), such that a top of themetal rack 30 is in a horizontal position. As can be seen fromFIGS. 4 and 5 , a front end of themetal rack 30 is downward bent by 90 degrees to form a vertical front edge, and an upper and a lowerhorizontal metal bars metal wires 33 forming themetal rack 30. - Please refer to
FIGS. 3, 4 , and 5 at the same time. Thehanger 20 is provided at an upper end with an open-bottomedhook portion 21, at a position closely below thehook portion 21 with a U-shaped open-bottomedengaging recess 22, and at a lower free end with a supportingseat 23. Thehanger 20 is connected to themetal rack 30 by hooking thehook portion 21 to the upperhorizontal metal bar 31 with theengaging recess 22 engaged with the lowerhorizontal metal bar 32. - The
hook portion 21 hooked to the upperhorizontal metal bar 31 of themetal rack 30 enables thehanger 20 to fixedly connect to themetal rack 30. Theengaging recess 22 of thehanger 20 straddles the lowerhorizontal metal bar 32 to prevent thehanger 20 connected to themetal rack 30 from moving forward or backward. To connect thehanger 20 to themetal rack 30 for use, first cause theengaging recess 22 to straddle the lowerhorizontal metal bar 32, and then turn thehanger 20 about the lowerhorizontal metal bar 32 to a vertical position relative to themetal rack 30. Thereafter, pull thehanger 20 downward for thehook portion 21 to firmly engage with and therefore hook to the upperhorizontal metal bar 31 of themetal rack 30. - Please refer to
FIGS. 5 and 6 . The supportingseat 23 provided at the free end of thehanger 20 is open-topped to define a horizontally extended and curve-sectionedchannel 24. It is possible to stably support acrossbar 40 on twohangers 20 by downward forcing two ends of thecrossbar 40 into thehorizontal channels 24 via upper openings of the supportingseats 23. Thecrossbar 40 supported at two ends on thehangers 20 may therefore be used to hold other suit hangers (not shown). The horizontal curve-sectionedchannel 24 may be provided on an inner wall close to the upper opening with ahorizontal rib 25. After thecrossbar 40 is set in thehorizontal channels 24 of two supportingseats 23, theribs 25 in thehorizontal channels 24 are pressed against an outer periphery of thecrossbar 40, preventing thecrossbar 40 from easily separating from thehangers 20 via the upper opening of the supportingseats 23. - As can be clearly seen from
FIG. 6 , thehook portion 21 of thehanger 20 is provided on an inner wall surface near the downward opening of thehook portion 21 with two forward protrudedrib 26, so that the downward opening of thehook portion 21 is slightly smaller than an outer diameter of the upperhorizontal metal bar 31. When thehook portion 21 of thehanger 20 is hooked to the upperhorizontal metal bar 31, theribs 26 enable themetal bar 31 to firmly set in thehook portion 21 without the risk of separating therefrom. More specifically, thehanger 20 is provided at two lateral ends with a soft gasket each. Thegasket 27 is in the form of a lying letter T with a longitudinal part thereof extended forward to form the above-mentionedrib 26. When the upperhorizontal metal bar 31 passes the downward opening of thehook portion 21, it compresses and deforms theribs 26 to enter into thehook portion 21. - The
hanger 20 is provided along a profile of an upper part, including thehook portion 21 and the engagingrecess 22, with a vertically extended slit 28 to cut both thehook portion 21 and the engagingrecess 22 into two laterally symmetric halves. Therefore, thehanger 20 may be connected to the upper and the lowerhorizontal bars metal rack 30 with theslit 28 aligned and engaged with one of themetal wires 33 located at the vertical front edge of themetal rack 30. Thehanger 20 may then be fully connected to themetal rack 30 in the same manner as previously described. With thevertical metal wire 33 located in theslit 28, thehanger 20 is restrained from moving laterally on themetal rack 30, as shown inFIG. 7 . -
FIGS. 8 and 9 are perspective and side views, respectively, of ahanger 20′ according to another embodiment of the present invention. Thehanger 20′ is generally structurally similar to thehanger 20, except for anelastic latching member 50 provided below the engagingrecess 22′ of thehanger 20′ to openably close a downward opening of the engagingrecess 22′. When the engagingrecess 22′ straddles the lowerhorizontal metal bar 32 of themetal rack 30 and thehanger 20′ is subject to an upward force, the elastic latchingmember 50 stops thehanger 20′ from separating from themetal rack 30. Anelastic element 51 is compressively mounted at a rear end of the latchingmember 50 to normally push the latchingmember 50 forward to close the downward opening of the engagingrecess 22′. The latchingmember 50 has a beveled lowerfront end 52. When the lowerhorizontal metal bar 32 of themetal rack 30 is guided into the engagingrecess 22′, it first contacts with and pushes against the beveled lowerfront end 52 of the latchingmember 50, causing the latchingmember 50 to elastically move backward to open the downward opening of the engagingrecess 22, so that the lowerhorizontal metal bar 32 is admitted into the engagingrecess 22′ and thehanger 20′ is properly connected to themetal rack 30. - Please refer to
FIG. 10 that shows the detailed structure of the elastic latchingmember 50. An upward extendedplate 53 is connected to a top of the latchingmember 50 and has a horizontallong slot 54 formed thereon. Arivet 55 is extended through a hole (not shown) preformed on thehanger 20′ and thelong slot 54 on theplate 53, so that the latchingmember 50 may be horizontally moved forward and backward relative to thehanger 20′. - The latching
member 50 has apin 56 projected from a rear end of the latchingmember 50 into arecess 29′ provided on thehanger 20′. Theelastic element 51 is a compression spring mounted around thepin 56 in a compressed state to normally push the latchingmember 50 forward. - The
