2. Description of the Related Art When shipping hangers on which goods such as clothes are hung from a hanger transport rail, an operator stops the hanger transport carriage adjacent to the hanger transport rail and holds the hangers by hand in several bundles. , Had to be changed from a hanger transport rail to a hanger transport trolley.

[0003]

However, when manually transferring hangers, the operator holds several hangers and aligns the hooks of each hanger.
It has to go back and forth many times between the transport line and the hanger carrier. If the hooks are displaced during the transfer of the hangers from the transport line to the hanger carrier, the hooks must be aligned or hung one by one on the hanger carrier. Such an operation was extremely inefficient and took a lot of time for the transfer operation.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a hanger transfer rail in which a hanger transfer rail is protruded at the end of a hanger transfer rail so that the hanger transfer rail is hung. The above object has been solved by a hanger transfer device for a hanger transport rail provided with a joint portion connected to a rod.

[0005]

The hanger on which goods such as clothes are hung is moved to the end of the hanger transport rail, and the hanger carrier is stopped adjacent to the end. Next, by holding the hanger transfer rail protruding from the end of the hanger transport rail and connecting the joint at the tip thereof to the hanger suspension rod of the hanger transport cart, the distance between the hanger transport rail and the hanger suspension rod is reduced. Is suspended by the hanger transfer rail. When the hanger on the hanger transport rail is pushed, the hanger is sequentially transferred to the hanger suspension rod via the hanger transfer rail.

If the joint portion at the tip of the hanger transfer rail is, for example, an L-shaped hook that is engaged with a charging hole formed in the hanger suspension rod, the hanger transport rail and the hanger suspension rod are connected to the hanger transfer rail. It is laid by.

Further, it is preferable that a saddle-shaped joint part which can be mounted on a hanger hanging rod is pivotally attached to the tip of the hanger transfer rail instead of the L-shaped joint part. With this configuration, it is easy to finely adjust the stop position of the hanger transport vehicle. Then, even after the hanger transfer rail is connected to the hanger hanging rod, the hanger transporter can be moved, and the hanger can be transferred to an arbitrary position on the hanger hanging rod.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a hanger transfer device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The hanger H on which a product such as clothing is hung is pushed or pulled on a hanger transport rail R such as a hanger conveyor, and is moved to the end of the hanger transport rail R. The hanger transfer device 10 is provided at an end of the hanger transfer rail R, and the hanger H is transferred from the hanger transfer rail R to the hanger transport vehicle T via the hanger transfer device 10.

The hanger carrier T has a Z-shaped lower frame F1, casters C provided at four corners of the lower frame F1, and a pair of pillars erected at the ends of the diagonal members of the lower frame F1. It has a frame F2 and a hanger hanging rod B which is cantilevered by the support frame F2 and extends in the longitudinal direction at the center of the lower frame F1.

As shown in detail in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hanger transfer device 10 includes a hanger transfer rail 12 projecting from an end of a hanger transport rail R and a saddle-shaped rail provided at the end thereof. Has a joint portion 14. The hanger transfer device 10 of the present embodiment is useful when the hanger hanging rod B is positioned lower than the hanger transport rail R.

The hanger transfer rail 12 is pivotally attached to the end of the hanger transport rail R so as to be swingable in the vertical plane. However, the hanger transfer rail 12 may be freely swingable by using a spherical bearing or the like. Also, the hanger transfer rail 12 has a side bent portion 16 at the center.
Having.

The saddle-shaped joint portion 14 is suspended and pivoted at the tip of the hanger transfer rail 12 so as to swing back and forth, and is mounted on the hanger suspension rod B regardless of the posture of the hanger transfer rail 12. Is to be placed. In addition,
It is preferable that the joint portion 14 swing only forward and backward.

When the hanger transport vehicle 10 is stopped adjacent to the end of the hanger transport rail R and the hanger transfer rail 12 is swung, the joint portion 14 is placed on the hanger hanging rod B, and the hanger transport rail R And hanger hanging rod B
Is suspended by a hanger transfer rail 12.

If the hanger transfer rail 12 can be freely articulated with respect to the hanger transport rail R, the saddle-shaped joint 14 can be hung at the position where the joint 14 intersects with the hanger hanging rod B. Hanging rod B
, It is not necessary to finely adjust the stop position of the hanger transport vehicle 10. After the joint portion 14 is placed, the hanger carrier 10 can be moved.

On the other hand, since the joint portion 14 can swing only forward and backward, after the hanger transfer rail 12 is laterally suspended, the hanger suspension rod B and the side bent portion 16 of the hanger transfer rail 12 are used. The tip side can be kept aligned.

In this state, the hanger transport rail R
From above, the hanger H is transferred to the hanger transfer rail 12. The hangers H are successively tilted downward at the distal end side from the lateral bent portion 16 and without the hooks of the hangers H interfering with the hanger hanging rods B via the hanger transfer rails 12 aligned with the hanger hanging rods B. It is transferred onto the hanger hanging rod B.

In addition, since the hanger transport carriage 10 has the hanger suspension rod B cantilevered by one of the front and rear support frames F2, the hanger H on the hanger transfer rail 12 moves when the hanger H moves. The hanger H can be fully loaded with the hanger H by transferring the hanger H to the end of the hanger hanging rod B without interfering with the support frame F2 of the hanger transport trolley T.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the hanger transfer device according to the present invention. The hanger transfer device 10 'of this embodiment is useful, for example, when the hanger transport rail R and the hanger hanging rod B are at the same height. The hanger transfer device 10 'has a hanger transfer rail 12' having an upper bent portion 16 'formed at the center, and a saddle-shaped joint portion 14' pivotally attached to a tip of the hanger transfer rail 12 '. With such a configuration, the hook end of the hanger H is lifted to a higher position than the hanger hanging rod B, and then descends to the height of the hanger hanging rod B. Interference can be avoided.

In the above embodiment, the joint is saddle-shaped, but the tip of the hanger transfer rail may be L-shaped to form the joint. In this case, the hanger suspension rod is formed with a charging hole for the L-shaped joint. Further, even when the L-shaped joint portion is employed, it is needless to say that a side bent portion or an upward bent portion can be provided at the center of the hanger transfer rail.
