Description
- Applicant claims priority based on provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/659,248 filed Mar. 7, 2005, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates generally to clothes hangers, and more particularly to improved clothes hangers which prevent creases and fabric wear in articles of clothing supported thereby.
- When pants are cleaned by a laundry or dry cleaning service they are traditionally returned hung over a clothes hanger having a cardboard garment support tube. If the pants are left on the clothes hanger for an extended period of time a crease is formed at the point where the pants engage the garment support tube. Further, the cardboard support tube traditionally has a light adhesive coating which retains the pants on the hanger; however the coating can adversely affect the pile of the fabric and eventually degrade the appearance thereof.
- Other items of clothing such as shorts, skirts, scarves, and linens are also returned on traditional hangers. As described above, the cardboard support tube can imprint a crease on these and other clothing items and the adhesive coating can damage articles comprising delicate fabrics.
- The present invention comprises improvements in the art of clothes hanger design which overcome the foregoing and other difficulties which have long since characterized the prior art. In accordance with a first embodiment of the invention the effective diameter of the support surface of an otherwise traditional clothes hanger is substantially increased thereby substantially reducing the likelihood that garments supported on the clothes hanger will become creased and eliminating the necessity of an adhesive layer for securing garments in engagement with the support surface. The effective diameter of the support surface of a hanger may be increased either by surrounding the cardboard support tube with a layer of plastic foam or by wrapping a fabric layer around the support tube.
- In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention an otherwise conventional clothes hanger of the type comprising a plastic frame, a metal support rod secured on the plastic frame, and spring loaded clips for retaining garments on the metal support rod is provided with a pair of garment supporting wings. The wings are slidably supported on the support rod and extend laterally outwardly to engage opposed interior surfaces of skirts and similar garments. In this manner the garments are supported on the hanger without danger of creasing.
- A related problem comprises the fact that clothes are often returned from the laundry or dry cleaners supported on a plurality of hangers. As is well known to consumers, handling a plurality of garments supported on a plurality of hangers is awkward at best. Also, it is virtually impossible to support a plurality of hangers from the small coat hooks that are typically found in automobiles.
- In accordance with a third embodiment of the invention a clothes hanger transporting device comprises a hook at the top, a support rod at the bottom, and a ball-shaped handle positioned between the hook and the support rod to facilitate carrying a plurality of hanger support garments and to facilitate engaging the hook a support structure.

- A more complete understanding of the present invention may be had by reference to the following Detailed Description when taken in connection with the accompanying Drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a clothes hanger comprising a first embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a clothes hanger comprising a variation of the embodiment ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a clothes hanger comprising a second embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a front view of the clothes hanger ofFIG. 3 ; -
FIG. 5 is an exploded view of a portion of the clothes hanger ofFIG. 3 ; and -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a garment transportation device comprising a third embodiment of the invention. - Referring now to the Drawings, and particularly to
FIG. 1 thereof, there is shown aclothes hanger 10 comprising a first embodiment of the invention. Theclothes hanger 10 comprises aconventional clothes hanger 12 including a length ofwire 14 comprising anupper hook portion 16 extending to atwisted portion 18 which in turn extends to a pair of downwardly and outwardly extendingarms 20 terminating insupport members 22. A cardboardgarment support tube 24 extends between thesupport members 22 and is supported thereby. - As is well known, utilization of the
hanger 10 and similar clothes hangers in the transportation and storage of garments incorporates inherent difficulties. First, the cardboardgarment support tube 24 defines a relatively small diameter garment support surface which tends to form creases in garments supported thereon for even a short period of time. Second, the cardboardgarment support tube 24 is frequently provided with a light adhesive coating which can damage delicate fabrics and can also damage more durable fabrics if supported on theclothes hanger 10 over an extended period of time. - In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention a soft
sponge rubber tube 26 is received on and supported by thecardboard tube 24. The softsponge rubber tube 26 substantially increases the effective diameter of the garment support surface of thehanger 10 thereby substantially decreasing the probability that garments supported thereon will be creased. Additionally, the softsponge rubber tube 26 does not require a light adhesive coating as does thecardboard tube 24 thereby eliminating the possibility of damage to garments supported on thehanger 10 due to contact thereof with the light adhesive coating which is typically provided on the exterior surface on thecardboard tube 24. - For example, the cardboard garment support tube of a typical clothes hanger has an outside diameter of about ½ inch. The soft sponge rubber tube of the present invention has an outside diameter of about 1.25 inches. Thus, the effective diameter of the garment support surface of the hanger of the present invention is 2½ times as large as the effective diameter of the garment support surface of a conventional clothes hanger.
- The soft
sponge rubber tube 26 is provided with aradial slit 28 which extends the entire length of thetube 26 thereby facilitating deployment of thetube 26 over thecardboard tube 24. The opposite ends of theslit 28 comprising thetube 26 may be provided with lengths of double sidedadhesive tape 30 whereby the ends of the slit are secured against opening during utilization of thehanger 10. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , there is shown aclothes hanger 40 comprising a variation of theclothes hanger 10 illustrated in the first sheet of drawings. Many of the component parts of theclothes hanger 40 are substantially identical in construction and function to component parts of thehanger 10. Such identical component parts are designated on the second sheet of drawings with the same reference numerals utilized above in the description of theclothes hanger 10 but are differentiated therefrom by means of a prime (′) designation. - The
clothes hanger 40 differs from theclothes hanger 10 in that rather than being provided with a soft sponge rubber tube surrounding thecardboard tube 24′, theclothes hanger 40 is provided with atube 42 comprising a roll of fabric secured in place by anadhesive layer 44. The function of thetube 42 is to substantially increase the effective diameter of the clothing support surface of thehanger 40. In this manner the likelihood that garments supported by theclothes hanger 40 will be creased during utilization thereof is substantially reduced. Additionally, thetube 42 does not require use of a light adhesive coating as is frequently required in the use of thecardboard tube 24 thereby further diminishing the possibility of damage to garments supported by theclothes hanger 40. - Referring to
FIGS. 3, 4 , and 5 there is shown aclothes hanger 50 comprising a second embodiment of the invention. Theclothes hanger 50 comprises aplastic frame 52 having ametal hook 54 extending upwardly therefrom. Ametal support rod 56 extends between and is supported on the opposite ends of theplastic frame 52. A pair ofwings 58 are supported on thesupport rod 56 for longitudinal movement therealong. Eachwing 58 is provided with a spring loadedclip 60 which functions to secure the wing at a predetermined location along thesupport rod 56 depending upon the requirements of particular applications of the invention. - Because the
wings 58 are movable inwardly and outwardly on therod 56, thehanger 50 is adapted for use with garments comprising a wide range of sizes, for example, from size 2 through and includingsize 20. The inward and outward movement of thewings 58 allows thehanger 50 to support garments thereon with no tension or stretching. - In the utilization of the
hanger 50 theplastic wings 58 are moved outwardly until theend surfaces 62 thereof engage interior surfaces of a skirt, a pair of shorts, or other garment. In use, thewings 58 function to secure a garment on thehanger 50 during transportation and storage of the garment. More importantly, thewings 58 function to prevent damage to of the garment during transportation and support thereof on thehanger 50. The use of thehanger 50 facilitates support and transportation of garments with no marking, no clip mark, or other damage as is sometimes experienced in the use of conventional clothes hangers. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , there is shown a garment transportation andstorage device 70 comprises a third embodiment of the invention. Thedevice 70 comprises length ofwire 72 which is formed into asupport hook 74 at the upper end thereof. The length ofwire 72 extends downwardly from thehook 74 through acentral portion 76. At the lower end of the device 70 a length of wire 77 is bent into atriangular configuration 78 thus providing ahanger support rod 80. Thehook 74 is rotatably connected to thesupport rod 80. - A ball-shaped
handle 82 is secured around thecentral section 76 of the length ofwire 72, it being understood that other handle configurations can be utilized in the practice of the invention. Thehandle 82 may comprise a unitary construction formed from molded plastic or molded rubber. Alternatively, thehandle 82 may comprise a two part construction which snaps together around thecentral portion 72 of the length ofwire 72 as shown. - In use, the
garment transportation device 70 is employed to receive garments from a laundry or dry cleaner. Garments supported on conventional hangers of the type utilized by laundries and dry cleaners are supported on thesupport rod 80 by engaging the hooks of the hangers therewith in the conventional manner. After the hangers which support all of the garments received from a particular laundry or dry cleaner are engaged with thesupport rod 80 thehandle 82 is utilized to transport thedevice 70 and the garments supported thereby, for example, from the laundry or dry cleaners to a vehicle. At that point thehook 74 of thedevice 70 is utilized to support thedevice 70 and the garments supported thereby from the coat hanger of the vehicle. Another important use of thedevice 70 is the transportation of garments supported on hangers from a laundry or dry cleaners to a residence in crowded urban areas such as New York City. - Upon arrival at a particular designation the
device 70 is utilized to transport the garments supported by thesupport rod 80 to a storage location, for example, a closet. Once again the handle is utilized to facilitate lifting and carrying the garments supported on thesupport rod 80. Thehook 72 may be utilized to support the garments on a closet rod or the like while the garments are being individually disengaged from thesupport rod 80. Thereafter the garments are preferably disengaged from the hangers utilized by the laundry or the dry cleaners to deliver garments to customers and are transferred to hangers comprising the present invention, for example, the hangers shown inFIGS. 1 through 5 , inclusive, hereof. - Although preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated in the accompanying Drawings and described in the foregoing Detailed Description, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but is capable of numerous rearrangements, modifications, and substitutions of parts and elements without departing from the spirit of the invention.
