ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a clothes container support frame structure adapted to hold a clothes container in a wardrobe, and more particularly to such a clothes container support frame structure, which effectively stops dust from entering the clothes container in which the clothes container support frame structure is installed.
Flexible clothes containers may be used in a wardrobe to hold classified clothes. Various support frame structures have been disclosed for use to hold flexible clothes containers in wardrobes. A regular support frame structure for this purpose is known comprised of a support frame adapted to support a flexible clothes container in shape, and hooks mounted on the support frame and extended out of the flexible clothes container for hanging on a rod member in a wardrobe. This design of support frame structure has numerous drawbacks as outlined hereinafter.
1. After installation of the support frame structure in a flexible clothes container, dust may pass to the inside of the flexible clothes container through the gaps between the top panel of the flexible clothes container and the hooks.
2. Because the support frame simply extends along the border area of the top panel of the flexible clothes container, the support frame structure cannot positively support the top panel of the flexible clothes container against deformation.
3. The complicated support frame complicates the assembly process of the support frame structure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is one object of the present invention to provide a clothes container support frame structure, which has means to reinforce the strength of the top panel of the flexible clothes container in which the clothes container support frame structure is installed. It is another object of the present invention to provide a clothes container support frame structure, which effectively stops dust from entering the flexible clothes container in which the clothes container support frame structure is installed. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a clothes container support frame structure, which is easy to install. According to one aspect of the present invention, the clothes container support frame structure comprises an open frame, two hook holders coupled to the open frame at two opposite lateral sides, two hooks respectively coupled to the hook holders for hanging the hook holder and the open frame on a rod member in a wardrobe, two hanging wires respectively hung on the open frame at two opposite lateral sides, and a rack suspended from the hanging wires and adapted to hold clothes hangers. According to another aspect of the present invention, a plurality of washers are respectively mounted on the hooks and supported on the hook holders and adapted to seal the hook insertion holes on the top panel of the flexible clothes container in which the clothes container support frame structure is installed. According to still another aspect of the present invention, the rack has a top protruded portion, which supports the middle part of the top panel of the flexible clothes container in which the clothes container support frame structure is installed.
