Definitions

  • the present invention relates to garment hangers and particularly hangers for garments with belt loops such as trousers or skirts.
  • the garment be hung as it is worn, ie, vertically without being folded over.
  • Some garment hangers have small indentations or hooks adapted to hold small loops of fabric which are specially provided on the skirt.
  • the present invention provides a garment hanger constructed from substantially inflexible material and comprising a head portion for releasably attaching said hanger to an appropriate mounting, a shoulder portion extending from said head portion and a pair of garment support arms extending outwardly from opposite sides of said shoulder portion, each of the support arms having a substantially two-dimensional support member on its free end sized to pass through the belt loop of a garment and configured to provide an upwardly outwardly extending edge, such that in use the belt loops engaged by the hanger are urged towards the shoulder portion of the hanger.
  • the support arms are substantially two- dimensional and coplanar with their respective support members.
  • each support member is provided by a substantially vertically oriented projection, tab or disc formed integrally with its respective support arm.
  • said support members are provided by flared portions on each end of said support arms, the greatest dimension of said flared portions being smaller than the belt loop of the garment to be supported, and greater than that portion of the support arm directly adjacent the flared portion.
  • the garment hanger has two or more tiers, each tier comprising a shoulder portion, a pair of outwardly extending support arms and a support member on the free end of each support member, each tier being connected to one or more adjacent tiers to form a mutually parallel spaced apart array of support arms/support members.
  • At least one tier of the garment hanger is provided by a conventional jacket or coat hanger.
  • the support arms are naturally extendible to alter the spacing between the support members.
  • Each support member may also include a plurality of support members to engage two or more belt loops on a single garment.
  • the present invention provides a garment hanger comprising a head portion for releasably attaching said hanger to an appropriate mounting, a body extending downwardly from said head portion, an upper pair of garment support arms extending outwardly from opposite sides of an upper portion of said body, said upper support arms having broad or divergent ends adapted to support a jacket or coat and a lower pair of garment support arms extending outwardly from opposite sides of a lower portion of said body, each of the lower support arms having a substantially two-dimensional support member on its free end sized to pass through the belt loop of a garment and configured to provide an upwardly outwardly extending edge, such that in use the belt loops engaged by the hanger are urged towards the body of the hanger.
  • the present invention provides a simple, inexpensive hanger to support garments, such as trousers or skirts, without the need for complicated and expensive clips or clamps.
  • garments such as trousers or skirts
  • the garment is held reliably with little or no prospect of the garment disengaging from the hanger and falling to the ground.
  • inventive garment hanger is ideal for drying a supported garment, there being no need for pegs or the like which may tend to leave unsightly creases or marks on the garment.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a hanger according to a first embodiment of the present invention
  • Figs. 2 and 3 are front and end elevational views of the hanger of Fig 1 in use;
  • Figs.4A and 4B are front elevational views of a hanger according to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 5 is a front elevational view of a hanger according to a further embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 6 is a plan view of the hanger of Fig. 5.
  • the hanger 1 shown in Fig. 1-3 comprises head portion 10. a shoulder portion 20 downwardly extending therefrom and a pair of garment support arms 30,40 extending outwardly from opposite sides of the shoulder portion, in much the same way as a conventional hanger.
  • the head portion 10 is adapted to releasably connect the hanger to an appropriate mounting such as a rod 100.
  • the head portion 10 is shaped as a hook to fit over rod 100, but the present inventive hanger is also suitable for other configurations of hangers, such as a continuous circular head portion adapted to fit on a peg, a grooved aperture in the head portion adapted to engage a slide support, or a nail or pin extending upwardly from the shoulder portion 20 adapted to engage a ring slidably held on a rod.
  • This last configuration is particularly popular in hotels/motels since it reduces theft.
  • the hanger may still be removed from the cupboard or closet but, without the appropriate ring mount, the hanger is useless.
  • the free ends of garment support arms 30.40 are provided with support members 31,41, which are sized to pass through the belt loops 205 of the garment 200.
  • support members 31,41 are provided by projections, tabs or discs formed integrally with support arms 30,40. These tabs or discs are preferably vertically oriented, as seen in Fig. 2.
  • the garment support arms 30.40 are also preferably two-dimensional and co-planar with their respective support members 31, 41. Not only does this increase the strength of the hanger in the vertical direction but it also allows the garment 200 to be held flat against the hanger.
  • Each tab or disc has an enlarged or flared portion the width of which is smaller than the opening through the belt loop 205 of garment 200 but greater than that portion of the support arm directly adjacent the projection tab or disc, ie, the connection between the support member 31,41 and its respective support arm 30.40.
  • the support arms provide an upwardly, outwardly extending edge 32.42 such that, in use. the belt loops 205 of the garment 200 are urged inwardly towards the shoulder portion 40 of the hanger.
  • each garment support arm 30, 40 may include a plurality of support members adapted to engage two or more belt loops on a single garment. For example, as shown in Fig. 4A, in addition to the support members 31, 41 at the ends of support arms 30. 40 respectively, additional support members 31A and 41A may be provided part way along each support arm to engage additional belt loops.
  • each support arm 30, 40 may be corrugated or rippled as shown in Fig. 4B to thereby provide a number of support members 3lA. 31B, 31C etc. to engage the belt loops of the supported garment.
  • the embodiment of Fig. 4B is particularly useful for supporting the various garments with different belt loop spacings.
  • the hanger 1 may also be available in several sizes so as to match the belt loop spacings of different size clothing, ie, smaller for children's clothing and larger for adult clothing. It is also possible to provide a hanger with laterally extendible arms 30.40 to adjust the spacing between support members 31,41, so as to precisely match the width of the hanger to the belt loop spacing of the garment 200 to be supported.
  • novelty items may also be provided as support members 31.41. These support members also provide an opportunity to apply advertising material to the hanger.
  • the present inventive hanger may also be combined with other conventional type hangers for garments other than trousers or skirts to form a dual or multi-tiered hanger.
  • This embodiment provides a conventional jacket or coat hanger 2 as an upper tier and the inventive garment hanger 1 as a lower tier underneath.
  • the upper tier of this hanger is provided by a conventional jacket or coat hanger 2.
  • the upper support arms 50 are provided with broad or divergent ends to support a jacket or coat in a manner already known.
  • the lower tier 1 of the garment hanger is constructed in a manner similar to the garment hangers shown in Figs. 1-3.
  • the dual tiered hanger shown in Figures 5 and 6 is ideal for supporting a suit with the jacket hung on upper tier 2 and the trousers or skirt hung on lower tier 1. It is also possible to provide a multi-tiered hanger in this way with any number of hangers being connected to form a mutually parallel spaced apart array of garment support arms 30, 40 and support members 31, 41.
  • inventive hanger may be formed from any suitable material such as wire, plastic, wood or a combination thereof it will be particularly inexpensive to produce by conventional plastic injection moulding.

Abstract

Cintre (1) pour vêtements, comprenant une partie tête (10), une partie corps (20), et une paire de bras de support (30, 40) s'étendant vers l'extérieur à partir des côtés opposés de la partie corps. Chacun desdits bras comporte à son extrémité libre un élément de support bidimensionnel (31, 41) dont la taille lui permet de passer par le passant de ceinture d'un vêtement. Ce cintre (1) est conçu pour porter un pantalon ou une jupe en une position verticale au moyen des passants (205), sans avoir recours à des pinces ou des attaches susceptibles d'abîmer le tissu du vêtement. Il se prête donc idéalement au séchage d'un vêtement ainsi porté, puisque l'on évite de la sorte l'utilisation de pinces à linge ou analogue qui sont susceptibles de laisser des marques ou des plis inesthétiques sur le vêtement.
