Title: Structure for hanging object

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001] 1. Field of the Invention  
       [0002] The present invention relates generally to hanging structures, and more particularly to a structure for hanging objects.  
       [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art  
       [0004] A conventional structure for hanging objects, like mobile phones, phone cases, eyeglasses cases, and so on, is disposed on a regular backpack or briefcase or waist bag. Taking the backpack as an example, the structure has an elongated strap-like cloth that is stitched to an exterior side of the backpack equidistantly to form a plurality of slots arranged at an equidistant interval for inserting and clamping the objects or clamping members of the objects and otherwise further easily removing the objects or the clamping members.  
       [0005] However, the slots of the aforementioned structure for hanging objects each have the same breadth to receive the objects or the clamping members with one single dimension. While receiving the objects or the clamping members of different dimensions, which are smaller or larger than the slots, they are too small to be held tight or too large to be received inside the slots. Although the slots having different dimensions that are formed by stitching a plurality of cloths to the backpack at an different interval can hold and hang the objects and the clamping members of different dimensions, the backpack will not only have lots of area and space occupied and wasted, but also be aesthetically bad.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0006] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a structure for hanging objects which can be different sized objects and their clamping members.  
       [0007] The secondary objective of the present invention is to provide a structure for hanging objects, and the structure is small-sized and aesthetically pretty.  
       [0008] The foregoing objectives of the present invention are attained by the structure, which is composed of a base level, a first strap body, and a second strap body. The first strap body is bonded to the base level and a plurality of first slots each having a predetermined breadth are formed between the first strap body and the base level. The second strap body is stackably bonded to the first strap body and a plurality of second slots each having a predetermined breadth are formed between the first strap body and the second strap body. Each of the first slots corresponds to at least two of the second slots.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
     [0018] Referring to FIGS.  1 - 2 , a structure  10  for hanging objects according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of a base level  11 , a first strap body  12 , and a second strap body  13 .  
     [0019] The base level  11  can be a surface of any of articles, like backpacks or waist belts or briefcases, for hanging the objects and has a predetermined area.  
     [0020] The first strap body  12  is an elongated strap-like cloth, defining a long axle and a short axle which is 2 inches in length, and is stitched to the base level  11  at a side thereof at predetermined intervals to form a plurality of first seams  122  arranged thereon at the predetermined intervals, thereby further defining a plurality of first slots  121  between the base level  11 , the first strap body  12 , and first seams  122 . Each of the first slots  121  has a top end and a bottom end respectively in communication with the outside for the objects and their clamping members inserting therethrough, having a breadth of 3 in.  
     [0021] The second strap body  13  is an elongated strap-like cloth, defining a long axle and a short axle which is 1 inch in length, and is stackably stitched to the outer side of the first strap body  12  at predetermined intervals to form a plurality of second seams  132  arranged thereon at the predetermined intervals, thereby further defining a plurality of second slots  131  between the first strap body  12 , the second strap body  13 , and second seams  132 . Each of the second slots  131  has a top end and a bottom end respectively in communication with the outside for the objects and their clamping members inserting therethrough, having a breadth of 1.5 in., i.e. the first slot  121  is twice in breadth as much as the second slot  131 .  
     [0022] In operation, at first, insert a clamping member  21  of an object  20  into the first slot  121  or the second slot  131  according to the size of the clamping member  21 . Referring to FIG. 3, the clamping member  21  embodied as a phone case clip is larger than the second slot  131  but smaller than the first slot  121  in breadth, i.e. the phone case clip is ranged in breadth between 1.5 in. and 3 in., such that the phone case clip can be inserted into the first slot  121  to be held and hung on the first strap body  12 , thereby hanging the clamping member  21  on the structure  10 . Referring to FIG. 4, the clamping member  21 ′ (phone case clip) is smaller in breadth than the second slot  131 , i.e. the phone case clip is smaller than 1.5 in., such that the phone case clip can be inserted into the second slot  131  to be held and hung on the second strap body  12 , thereby hanging the clamping member  21 ′ on the structure  10 . Accordingly, the structure  10  of the present invention can conveniently hang the objects having different dimensions by occupying the minimal area.  
     [0023] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the structure  10  of the present invention is applied to a backpack and a waist belt, wherein the base level  11  is respectively embodied as two surfaces of the backpack and the waist belt.  
     [0024] Referring to FIG. 7, a second preferred embodiment of the present invention differs from the first preferred embodiment only in that the structure  30  is composed of the base level  11  and at least two strap assemblies, each of which has at least two of the first strap bodies  12  and at least two of the second strap bodies  13 , bonded to the base level  11 .  
     [0025] Referring to FIG. 8, a third preferred embodiment of the present invention differs from the aforementioned embodiments only in that the structure  40  is composed of the base level  11 , the strap assembly having the first strap body  12  and the second strap body  13 , and another first strap body  12 . The strap assembly and the another first strap body  12  are respectively bonded to the base level  11 .  
     [0026] Referring to FIG. 9, a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention differs from the aforementioned embodiments only in that the structure  50  is composed of the base level  11 , the strap assembly having the first strap body  12  and the second strap body  13 , and another second strap body  13 . The strap assembly and the another second strap body  13  are respectively bonded to the base level  11 .  
     [0027] In addition, the base level, the first strap body, and the second strap body are made of cloth, such that they can be connected by means of stitchery, buckles, adhesives, or others. Because the cloth is provided with resilience, cloths are tightly connected with one another while no objects are hung onto them. According to the regular manufacturing criteria of the clamping members of the objects, the first and second strap bodies are respectively 2 in. and 1 in. in length so as to accommodate regular objects.  
     [0028] In conclusion, the present invention includes advantages as follows.  
     [0029] 1. Hanging the Objects of Various Dimensions:  
     [0030] The structure of the present invention has a plurality of the first slots and the second slots, which have different dimensions, so as to accommodate and hang the objects of various dimensions.  
     [0031] 2. Space-Saving and Multiple Application Fields:  
     [0032] The structure of the present invention is stackably formed and takes little space so as to be space-saving, and can be further applied to various fields, like backpacks, waist belts, walls, or storage boxes so as to have multiple application fields. In addition, the present invention is low in production cost for consumers to have such benefits with low expense.
