Description

Technical Field



[0001] This invention relates to a book-type garment organizer for facilitating garment arrangement which allows a garment to be easily folded to be stored in the form of a book.

Background Art



[0002] Generally, apparel stores, such as a department store, store pieces of clothes in a warehouse, and the clothes are stored in a soft sheet bag. In order to store pieces of clothes in a limited space, the pieces of clothes stored in soft sheet bags are stacked and stored, such that the clothes are easily wrinkled, or the form of the clothes is easily ruined.

[0003] Therefore, consumers may feel unpleasant due to the wrinkled clothes, and sellers may incur a loss due to damage to clothes.

[0004] Further, when clothes are stored in a travel trunk and transported during a business trip, a tour or the like, the clothes are not fixed in the trunk even though the clothes are well folded and stacked in the trunk, and thus the clothes may slide to one side or become wrinkled.

[0005] Therefore, it maybe inconvenient for a user to re-iron the clothes at a destination to dress neatly.

[0006] Meanwhile, a conventional method of organizing clothes, which includes hanging clothes using hangers and folding and stacking clothes, requires a separate closet space for storing clothes, and even though the clothes are arranged with a lot of effort for a long time, the clothes are easily rumpled when something is taken out for use, and thus the problem of temporal and spatial wastefulness may cause inconvenience in daily life.

[0024] The main body 100 may be manufactured in the form of a diary and may accommodate a garment by folding the garment in a predetermined form.

[0025] The main body 100 may include a first wing portion 110, a second wing portion 120, and a bending portion 130.

[0026] The first wing portion 110 is manufactured in a predetermined form and may be formed as one surface of the form of a diary.

[0027] The second wing portion 120 is manufactured in a rectangular shape to correspond to the first wing portion 110 and may be formed as the other surface of the form of the diary.

[0028] The bending portion 130 is integrally connected with the first wing portion 110 and the second wing portion 120 while being interposed therebetween and may fold each of the first wing portion 110 and the second wing portion 120 inward.

[0029] The escape preventing member 200 is provided at a part of the main body 100 so as to prevent the garment folded and stored on the main body 100 from coming off the main body 100.

[0030] The escape preventing member 200, which is installed at an end of each of the first and second wing portions 110 and 120, may be a strap for fixing the garment by surrounding outsides of the first and second wing portions 110 and 120 and the bending portion 130 of the main body 100 on which the garment is folded and stored.

[0031] The strap is made of a general textile fabric, one end of the strap is fixed by a ring provided at a portion of one wing portion (generally, the first wing portion 110), and an adhesive is applied to a portion of the other wing portion (generally, the second wing portion 120), to which the other end of the strip is fixed so that the strap is used.

[0032] Further, the strap may be made of not only a textile fabric but also a synthetic fabric with excellent elasticity.

[0033] The book-type garment organizer for facilitating garment arrangement may further include a fixing part 300 and an insertion part 400.

[0034] The fixing part 300 is formed as a groove in one end portion of the first wing portion 110 in a predetermined shape so that a part of the garment may be fixedly inserted thereinto when the garment is arranged.

[0035] Specifically, a pair of grooves are formed in a part of an end portion of the first wing portion 110 or the second wing portion 120 in a triangular shape of a predetermined size, and a collar of the garment may be fixedly inserted into the grooves.

[0036] The insertion part 400 is formed in one portion of the wing portion 110 in a cut state so that a portion of the garment may be inserted into a cut part.

[0037] That is, a portion of the first wing portion 110 is cut in a predetermined shape so that a part of the garment maybe fixedly inserted into the cut part.
