Description

Title Purpose of the invention the general purpose of this invention described subsequently in greater detail is to provide a device which has many novel features that result in improved clothes hanging apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested or even implied by prior art, either alone or in the combination thereof.
Field of the invention:
This hanger station apparatus relates generally to clothing organization and suspension or air drying, and more particularly to a novel hanger station apparatus system incorporating the use of a common door jamb or closet molding frame providing easy access to freshly ironed or clean clothes that are commonly hung on these edges and often knocked to the floor. To avoid this problem the purpose of the hanger station apparatus is to provide a novel method that requires no tools or special equipment to install and use. In more detail the user selects the hanger station apparatus unit, cut to size if desired, peel off the commonly used dual side tape and place it on the point where the wall meets the horizontal axis of the door jamb or closet molding.
Background 1- Description of problem Typically clean clothes or freshly ironed clothes or garments are stored in the closet. During the process of distributing clean clothes throughout the house often these clean articles of clothing or garments are suspended on the door jamb either to be put away, or to be used for a selected outfit, or packing, or for the delicate items that do not get ran through conventional clothing dryers.
These articles of clothing often are brushed up against while entering or leaving a bedroom, laundry room or closet. The clean, damp or waiting clothes are knocked to the floor and covered with whatever is commonly on the floor of a household, apartment or dorm room. This often results in need to clean or iron them again.

2¨ Other solutions There are known in prior art various forms of clothing suspension devices.
Such devices include single hooks that are screwed into the wall or hung over the door surface by adhesives or nail or screw fasteners. Some hook assemblies provide a fixed number of hooks secured to a strip. While there have been some advances in the types of hanging systems there remains the need to provide an improved clothes hanging device that requires no tools or mechanical process that is simpler to use and insures reliability and retain garments in a non-wrinkling manor.

3 ¨ Shortcomings of other solutions In all variations of prior art. The systems are complex and require some sort of mounting hardware or device or mechanism that is not already present in every household, apartment, office, dorm room.
Hanger stations novelty makes it useable for virtually every door way or closet entry way. With zero tools for installation or use.

4 Summaries Invention Description In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a device for hanging all types of clothing ranging from shirts and trousers safely using the horizontal axis of the door jamb or closet horizontal molding trim as the base in which to mount the hanger station apparatus thereby allowing these articles of clothing the ability to remain hanging or suspended in the device when brushed up against. Without the use of such an invention these articles of clothing would be knocked to the floor, often requiring them to be washed or ironed again. Delicate articles of clothing that cannot be subjected to the harsh conditions of conventional clothes dryers are able to air dry without getting placed into a closet while they are damp thereby preventing moldy clothing. It is another object of the hanger station to provide a temporary stable location for clothes that have been ironed a secure holding location until they are distributed to a designated closets or person to wear.
When the common and readily available dual sided tape is peeled off the back of the hanger station, it can be placed out of sight on the door jamb or closet decorative molding and it is ready for use.
Additional hanger station variations will include re attachable adhesive strips as well as the use of magnets to secure the hanger station to the desired location. The hanger station can be cut to desired size allowing the user to mix and match the number of hanger station modules they wish to have at any number of doors closets locations.

These and other objects, advantages and features of hanger station will become more apparent when the detailed description is studied in conjunction with the drawings.
Advantages of the invention As indicated in considering the shortcomings of existing art. The hanger station offers simplicity in its design and ease of installation and use. When used the hanger station eliminates the need to re wash or re iron an article of clothing that has been knocked to the floor. Using a hanger station makes it easy to have an entire week's worth of ironed clothing out and ready to use without getting smashed into an overstuffed closet. This reduces re ironing. Hanger station also emulates the outdoor clothes line of air drying clothing while reducing energy consumption, allowing clothing to air dry freshly and not get moldy and stale by placing a wet item in a closed and over packed closet. No tools are required to install the hanger station and it has no moving parts or mechanical components that are subject to normal wear and tear thereby eliminating any maintenance tasks or costs.

It is an object of hanger station to provide a device for hanging all types of clothing ranging from shirts and trousers as well as delicate articles of clothing that cannot be subjected to the harsh conditions of conventional clothes dryers. It is another object of the hanger station to keep said articles of clothing that have been placed in a doorway or closet molding frame to add stability to these items so they are not knocked down to the floor. It is another object of the hanger station to provide a temporary stable location for clothes that have been ironed and a secure holding location until they are distributed to a designated closet or person to wear. These and other objects, advantages and features of hanger station will become more apparent when the detailed description is studied in conjunction with the drawings.
