Abstract

A reinforced hook structure may include a hook body, having a back board which is a curved hook portion made in one piece, and a space is formed between the top portion of the hook portion and the back board to engage with a hanging unit. The front portion of the hook portion and the back board has some reinforced ribs, while the inner portion of the hook portion and the back board has a reinforced section to enhance the structural strength between the hook portion and the back board. When the hanging portion wedges in the hanging unit to hang subjects, the hanging portion has to sustain the weight of the subject and the hanging unit and when the hanging portion is weaker, it may be bended or broken.

Claims

1. A reinforced hook structure comprising:

a hook body, having a back board which is a curved hook portion made in one piece;

a space formed between top portion of the hook portion and the back board to engage with a hanging unit, wherein front portion of the hook portion and the back board has reinforced ribs, and inner portion of the hook portion and the back board has a reinforced section to enhance the structural strength between the hook portion and the back board.

2. The reinforced hook structure of claim 1, wherein a dual hook portion made in one piece is formed at the back board of the hook body, and a gap is located therebetween.

3. The reinforced hook structure of claim 1, wherein the hanging unit has a curved hanging portion, and a rod extending horizontally from the top portion of the hanging unit engages with the hook portion to be securely positioned.

4. The reinforced hook structure of claim 2, wherein the hanging unit has a curved hanging portion, and a rod extending horizontally from the top portion of the hanging unit engages with the hook portion to be securely positioned.

5. The reinforced hook structure of claim 3, wherein the radius of the rod is slightly larger than the space between the top portion of the hook portion and the back board.

6. The reinforced hook structure of claim 4, wherein the radius of the rod is slightly larger than the space between the top portion of the hook portion and the back board.

7. The reinforced hook structure of claim 1, wherein the hanging unit is a hanger, basket or the like, and the rod extending horizontally passes through the hanger or basket and secures inside the hook portion.

8. The reinforced hook structure of claim 2, wherein the hanging unit is a hanger, basket or the like, and the rod extending horizontally passes through the hanger or basket and secures inside the hook portion.

9. The reinforced hook structure of claim 7, wherein the radius of the rod is slightly larger than the space between the top portion of the hook portion and the back board.

10. The reinforced hook structure of claim 8, wherein the radius of the rod is slightly larger than the space between the top portion of the hook portion and the back board.

11. The reinforced hook structure of claim 1, wherein a sticky layer is disposed on the back side of the back board of the hook body to attach the hook body on a wall surface or a flat surface.

12. The reinforced hook structure of claim 2, wherein a sticky layer is disposed on the back side of the back board of the hook body to attach the hook body on a wall surface or a flat surface.

13. The reinforced hook structure of claim 1, wherein when the hook body is attached to a wall or flat surface, a nail or locking unit is used to secure the hook body to the surface.

14. The reinforced hook structure of claim 2, wherein when the hook body is attached to a wall or flat surface, a nail or locking unit is used to secure the hook body to the surface.
