Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of a hanger according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

1 and 2, the hanger 1 has a hanger body 2 and a movable hook member 6, which will be described later. In the hanger 1 of this embodiment, the hanger body 2 and the movable hook member 6 are made of a plastic plate. ing. An upper part of the hanger main body 2 is provided with a main body hook part 3, and a lower part of the hanger main body 2 is formed with three holding holes 4 as an article holding part for hooking an article. The main body hook 3 is, as clearly shown in FIG.
The edge of the hook 3a is formed in an arc shape, and the tip 3b of the hook 3a is set at a position where the angle θ1 between the line connecting the center O of the arc and the horizontal line is approximately 45 °.

In the hanger 1, a movable hook member 6 is rotatably mounted on a main body hook portion 3 via a pin 5. In this case, the position of the pin 5 is closer to the base than the uppermost position of the main body hook portion 3. It is provided shifted. The movable hook member 6 is formed such that the edge of the hook portion 6 a is substantially the same as that of the main body hook portion 3. That is, the edge of the hook portion 6 a of the movable hook member 6 is formed in an arc having substantially the same diameter as the main body hook portion 3. The distal end 6b of the movable hook member 6 extends forward of the main body hook portion 3,
The tip 6b of the movable hook member 6 is set at a position where the angle θ2 between the line connecting the center O of the arc and the horizontal line is approximately 30 °. The rear end 6c side of the movable hook member 6 is configured as a holding portion, and when the movable hook member 6 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, a supporting member described later is held between the movable hook member 6 and the tip b side of the main body hook portion 3. .

The movable hook member 6 is provided with an operating lever 7 as an operating portion integrally or fixedly. The operating lever 7 of this embodiment is substantially leftward at a portion opposite to the hooked portion in FIG. It is formed to extend horizontally. On the other hand, the hanger body 2 is provided with a stopper 8 as a means for restricting the rotation range of the movable hook member 6,
The stopper 8 is located between the operation lever 7 of the movable hook member 6 and the rear end 6c of the movable hook member 6. In addition,
Although the stopper 8 of this example is formed by bending a part of the hanger body 2, the stopper 8 may be provided by attaching a protrusion such as a pin to the hanger body 2. The stopper 8 restricts the range of rotation of the movable hook member 6 between the locked position shown by the solid line in FIG.

The hanger 1 thus configured is shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), when the column 10 as the support member is locked, if only the hanger main body 2 is used, the main body hook portion 3 is relatively short, so that the locked state is difficult to stabilize. Therefore, the hanger 1 comes off as soon as a counterclockwise force is applied to the hanger 1 in the figure.
The movable hook member 6 having a longer hooking width is also locked to the column 10, so that the locked state is stabilized. Further, when the hanger 1 locked to the column 10 is released, the operating lever 7 is depressed so that the movable hook member 6
Is pivoted counterclockwise around the movable hook member 6.
The distal end 6b side is separated from the support post 10, and the rear end 6c side corresponds to the lateral portion of the support post 10. The hanger 1 operates so as to clamp the support 10 between the tip 3b of the main body hook 3 and the rear end 6c of the movable hook member 6. At this time, the support 10 is fixed. Moves to the left as shown in FIG. When the hanger 1 reaches the position shown in FIG. 5, the tip 3b of the main body hook portion 3 is detached from the support post 10 to be removed.

Further, by providing the stopper 8 for regulating the rotation width, when the hanger 1 is hung on the support 10,
Hook part 3 between main body hook part 3 and movable hook member 6
If the main body hook portion 3 is hung on the support post 10 without a large deviation of a and 6a, the movable hook member 6 is also hung in the same manner.

As described above, the hanger 1 is provided with the movable hook member 6, so that the hanger 1 is stably locked on the column 10. In addition, when the operating lever 7 is operated when the hanger 1 is detached from the column 10, the movable hook member 6
Is at the tip 6b side away from the column 10, and further at the rear end 6c
The side hits the lateral portion of the support 10 and the hanger 1 is
, The hanger 1 can be removed with a small force. That is, the rotation of the movable hook member 6 utilizes the lever principle, so that the hanger 1 can be removed with a small force.

Next, a game device using the hanger 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a game device using the hanger 1. In FIG.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a housing of the prize acquisition game device. The housing 21 has a head 22 from the upper side thereof, a display unit 23 formed of a transparent plastic in a tubular shape following the head, and a lower part of the display unit 23. The opaque housing body 24 is provided. A circular support ring 25 is provided in the display unit 23 as a support member. The support ring 25 hangs down from the head 22, and the axis of the support ring 25 passes through a rotating support 26 that passes through the center of the circle of the support ring 25. Member 2
7 is supported. And this support ring 2
Various prizes 15 are locked to the hanger 1 and the support ring 25 rotates around the display unit 23.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a striking bar 30 serving as a hook removing means for removing the hanger 1 from the support ring 25 is supported by the head 22 in the display section 3. The hitting bar 30 is disposed outside the support ring 25. As shown in FIG. 7, the hook removing means 30 of this embodiment is fixed to a shaft 31 rotated by a driving means (not shown).
A hitting bar 32 is attached to the tip of the hitting bar 30. The striking bar 30 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 7, and at this time, the striking bar 32 is attached to a position where the striking rod 32 hits the operating lever 7 of the movable hook member 6 of the hanger 1 and pushes down the operating lever 7. The hitting bar 30 normally stops at an appropriately set home position, and makes one rotation when the player turns on a switch 33 shown in FIG.

In the above-mentioned game machine, when the hitting bar 30 is rotated and hits the operating lever 7 of the movable hook member 6 at a proper timing as shown in FIG. , The prize 15 held by the hanger 1 can be obtained. At this time, since the hanger 1 comes off with a relatively small force as described above, the restriction on the weight of the prize 15 is greatly eased. Further, in the above game device, the hanger 1
When it comes off, it can fall out and be taken out from the prize port 34. However, the conventional hanger has a problem that the falling position varies. This variation is, for example, when the hanger shakes greatly and then falls. In this case, the hanger moves a little with the rotation of the support ring 25, so that it may not be possible to guide the hanger to the prize port 34. . However, if the hanger 1 is used, since the hanger 1 falls immediately, there is little variation in the drop position, and the hanger 1 that has fallen can be easily guided to the prize port 34. Furthermore, if the hanger 1 is used in the above-mentioned game machine, the hitting bar 30 is
When the amount of depression is small, the hanger 1 does not come off from the support ring 25, but the hanger 1 swings greatly. Therefore, the player can be challenged again to the game.

Further, the hanger 1 is provided with three holding holes 4 for hanging articles, and the holding holes 4 are formed so as to be shifted in position in parallel with the hook locking direction. Therefore, if a prize is hung in the left holding hole 4 in FIG. 1, the hook is easily detached from the support ring 25, and if a prize is hung in the right holding hole 4, the hook is not easily detached from the support ring 25. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the difficulty level of obtaining the prize according to the position where the prize is hung.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the hanger according to the present invention. In this example, a hanger main body 41 is formed to be long, and a main body hook portion 42 is provided substantially at the upper center thereof. The hanger body 41 has three holding holes 43 as an article holding portion, and holding grooves 4 formed on the upper portion.
4 are provided. The plurality of holding grooves 44 are formed symmetrically with respect to the main body hook portion 42.
If the hanger 40 is also used in the above-described game device, the holding groove 44 is provided at a different position in the hooking direction of the hook member. Can be adjusted. Further, the difficulty of obtaining a prize in the above-mentioned game device can be adjusted by changing the length of the main body hook portion 42 to 42 'or 42 "as shown in FIG.

The movable hook member 46 rotatably mounted on the hanger main body 41 is provided with a projection 47 as an operation portion for assisting the attaching / detaching operation at an upper portion thereof. Then, by pushing this projection 47 in the direction of arrow P, the hanger 4
0 can be removed with a small force.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
It can be variously modified. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the main body hook portion and the movable hook member are made of plate-shaped members. However, these hook members may be formed of shaft-shaped members, and the shape of the material is arbitrary.

Also, the hanger of the present invention can be applied to a hanger for hanging general clothes and the like, and in this case, the form of the hanger main body is not limited. Alternatively, the product may be held by sandwiching it.

[0025]

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the hanger can be removed with a small force by rotating the movable hook member, and the operability is improved.

According to the third and fourth aspects, the movable hook member can be easily rotated. According to the configuration of claim 5, when the hanger is hung on the support member, the locked state can be stabilized.

According to the configuration of claim 6, when the hanger is hung on the support member, the main body hook portion and the movable hook member are less likely to shift, and the main body hook portion and the movable hook member are hooked simultaneously.

According to the configuration of claim 7, it is possible to adjust the prize acquisition difficulty at the position where the prize is held.
