Definitions

  • This invention relates to garment hangers, such as hangers for trousers and for scarves.
  • a simple, and well-known, form of garment hanger comprises a support bar over which the garment is folded, and a yoke portion which serves to support the ends of the support bar.
  • the yoke portion usually has a centrally located hook for suspending the hanger from a rail or the like.
  • an additional bar extends substantially parallel to the support bar, spaced therefrom on the side remote from the yoke portion.
  • a garment such as a pair of trousers
  • a garment is first fed between the yoke and the support bar and then fed back between the support bar and the additional bar.
  • part of the folded garment follows a slightly sinuous path between the support bar and the additional bar. This causes increased friction between the garment and the hanger, and between the two portions of the garment on either side of the support bar.
  • the advantage of this arrangement is that garments which are slightly unevenly hung from the hanger are less likely to fall off.
  • GB-A-144945 discloses a garment hanger comprising a support bar over which a garment may be folded when the hanger is in use, means for suspending the support bar from a rail or the like, and a friction bar, arranged substantially parallel to the support bar and spaced therefrom on the side of the support bar remote from the point from which the hanger is suspended in use, the friction bar lying outside the plane in which the support bar and said point of suspension lie.
  • the plane in which the point of suspension and the support bar lie will be referred to hereinbelow as the vertical plane of the hanger. It will be understood, however, that this plane will not necessarily be precisely vertical, even in use of the hanger.
  • the asymmetry of the hanger of GB-A-144945 means that a garment can be arranged on the hanger in either of two ways. Thicker garments may be folded over the support bar in such a way that both having portions pass on the same side of the friction bar as the vertical plane of the hanger. This means that the garment follows a path between the support bar and the friction bar which deviates only slightly from the path which it would follow in the absence of the friction bar. Garments of thinner fabric, on the other hand, may be folded over the support bar and then arranged so that both halves of the garment hang on the side of the friction bar which is remote from the vertical plane of the hanger. This means that the garment is forced to follow a more sinuous path between the support bar and the friction bar, thus ensuring greater friction between the garment and the hanger.
  • a garment hanger comprising a support bar over which a garment may be folded in use, means for suspending the support bar from a rail or the like, and a friction bar, arranged substantially parallel to the support bar and spaced therefrom on the side of the support bar remote from the point from which the hanger is suspended in use, the friction bar lying outside the vertical plane of the hanger, characterised in that the support bar and the friction bar are of channel section, with the walls of the channels lying generally perpendicular to the vertical plane of the hanger, and the respective channels of the friction bar and the support bar having free edges which face in opposite directions.
  • the free edges of the channels of the support bar and the friction bar bear against a garment which is supported on them.
  • the increased friction which is thereby obtained is of particular advantage in supporting a lightweight garment on the hanger.
  • the support bar and the friction bar are of generally C-shaped section, such that a garment of thicker fabric arranged around the support bar and the friction bar in the less sinuous arrangement follows curves of relatively large radius. This lessens the risk of a heavy fabric such as a corduroy being marked by the support bar or the friction bar.
  • the hanger may be made wholly or partly from plastics material, and can be conveniently made by injection moulding.
  • the friction bar can extend the full length of the support bar and can be attached to the support bar at one or both ends. More usually, however, two friction bars are provided, each less than half the length of the support bar, and each attached by one end to a respective end of the support bar. There is thus left a gap between the free ends of the friction bars which facilitates feeding a garment around the support bar and the friction bars.
  • a hanger comprises a support bar 1 suspended by its ends 3, by means of a yoke portion 7.
  • a hook 9 is centrally located in the yoke portion 7.
  • Each friction bar 11 extends substantially parallel to the support bar for about one third of the length thereof.
  • the support bar 1 and the friction bars 11, are of channel section, the external sides and bases of the channels being rounded to minimise the risk of marking a heavy garment which is hung on the hanger.
  • the channels of the support bar 1 and the friction bars 11 have pairs of free edges (13 and 15, respectively), which face in opposite directions, as can most clearly be seen in Figure 3.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show the two ways in which a garment can be arranged on the hanger of Figure 1.
  • the first way most suitable for garments of relatively thick fabric, or garments of fabric which are prone to being marked by passing around curves of relatively small radius, is shown in Figure 4.
  • the garment 17 passes over the support 1 and between the support bar and the friction bar. This causes the garment to hang in a position which is slightly deflected from the position which it would occupy if the friction bar were not present.
  • the garment does not follow any curves of small radius, it is securely held on the hanger by the friction between the garment and the support bar and the friction bar, and bythe friction between the two hanging parts of the garment.
  • a garment of relatively lightweight fabric is arranged on the hanger as shown in Figure 5.
  • the garment 19 is folded over the support bar 1, with both halves of the garment passing on the side of the friction bar 11 which is remote from the support bar 1.
  • the garment follows relatively sharper changes of direction, causing greater friction between the garment and the support bar and friction bar.
  • friction between the garment and the hanger is increased still further by arranging that the free edges of the channels which constitute the support bar and the friction bars bear against the garment when in the position shown in Figure 5.
  • the hanger of the present invention although referred to herein as a garment hanger, can be used for hanging textile articles other than made-up garments.
  • the hanger can be used for hanging skirt lengths.
