Description

This invention relates to a hanger. Hard plastic hangers are widely used for displaying and selling clothing such as jackets, trousers, and underwear, as well as for storing clothing in dry cleaners and homes (see Patent Documents 1 and 2 below). Furthermore, hotels and inns sometimes provide hard plastic or wooden hangers in room closets for guests to use. Because hangers made from rigid plastic are formed by creating molds and injection molding, they often have a thick profile and a structure that makes them difficult to fold or disassemble, resulting in problems with storage and transportation. On the other hand, in recent years, issues such as marine pollution caused by microplastics have attracted attention, and the global movement towards de-plasticization is progressing from an environmental protection standpoint. In Japan, the "Act on Promotion of Resource Recycling Related to Plastics" was enacted, for example, making it mandatory for certain businesses to reduce single-use plastic products. Furthermore, this "Act on Promotion of Resource Recycling Related to Plastics" designates plastic hangers as "specific plastic products," leading to increased demand for de-plasticization of hangers. Here, a technology for replacing plastic hangers with paper hangers has been proposed, for example, in Patent Documents 3 and 4 below. Unlike injection-molded plastic hangers, these hangers are formed by folding and assembling a single thin sheet of material, allowing them to be transported and stored in sheet form, offering superior storage and transportability. For example, they can be delivered to stores or accommodations in sheet form, stored in back rooms in sheet form, and assembled and used as needed. Furthermore, disposal is easy.
