Description

A Garment Hanger Assembly
The present invention relates to a garment hanger t assembly comprising a support cap. More particularly, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a garment hanger assembly comprising a support cap for impeding rotation or twisting of a hanger arm with respect to a rail.
Garment retail outlets typically display garments on a rail one behind another. As an alternative to this some retail outlets provide rails which are either attached to the walls or free standing in the display area. Garment hanger arms are typically clipped or pivotally attached to these rails and extend orthogonally to them. The hangers and associated garments are then hung from these arms .
Known hanger arms tend to wobble from side to side or twist with respect to the rail. In an effort to overcome this problem, metallic support bars are welded or mechanically fixed to the hanger arms in a plane orthogonal to the arm. In use, these support bars abut against the rail preventing the wobbling or twisting of the hanger arm. This welding or mechanical fixing of a support bar to the hanger arm greatly increases cost of manufacture of the hanger arm and also the time taken to produce it. Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a garment hanger assembly comprising a garment hanger arm and a support cap;
the hanger arm comprising a hanger portion from which the garment hangers can be suspended and, a connection portion for connecting the hanger arm to a rail or post;
the support cap comprising first and second stabilising portions positioned on opposite sides of the garment hanger arm and being arranged to impede rotation of the hanger arm with respect to the rail or post;
the first and second stabilising portions being connected together through at least one aperture in the garment hanger arm.
The garment hanger assembly according to the invention has the advantage that it inhibits wobble of the hanger arm with respect to the rail or post, but is also relatively inexpensive to construct .
Preferably the support cap is arranged to prevent direct contact between the hanger arm an the rail or post . This prevents damage to the rail or post by the hanger arm. Preferably the cap is a plastics material, preferably a thermoplastics material, preferably glass filled nylon. The plastics material protects .both the hanger arm and also the rail or post. It is also relatively simple to manufacture a plastics support cap of the correct shape .
The support cap can be although not necessarily a two component injection moulded construction. This enables the two parts of the end cap to be manufactured separately and then joined through the hanger arm. This reduces construction costs.
The first and second stabilising portions can be ultrasonically welded together through the at least one aperture in the arm. This is a simple and reliable method of connecting the two parts of the support cap together.
Preferably, the first and second stabilising portions each comprise a covering flange adapted so as to define, in combination, a separation surface for separating the hanger arm from the rail . Preferably the first and second covering flanges are ultrasonically welded together.
In a further aspect, the present invention provides a method of assembly of a garment hanger assembly, the garment hanger assembly comprising a garment hanger arm and a support cap;
the hanger arm comprising a hanger portion from which garment hangers can be suspended; and, a connection portion for connecting the hanger arm to a rail or post;
the support cap comprising first and second stabilising portions positioned on opposite sides of the garment hanger arm and being arranged to impede rotation of the hanger arm with respect to the rail or post;
the first and second stabilising portions being connected together through at least one aperture in the garment hanger arm;
the method comprising the steps of
injection moulding the support cap as separate first and second stabilising portions;
arranging the two stabilising portions on opposite sites of the hanger arm; and,
connecting the first and second stabilising portions together through the at least one aperture in the garment hanger arm. Preferably the first and second stabilising portions are connected together by ultrasonic welding.
Preferably the method further comprises the step of welding together first and second covering flanges to produce a separation surface for separating the hanger arm from the rail or post . ■

The support arm (5) J-s arranged such that when the hanger arm (1) is hung from the bar (4) the support arm (5) extends parallel to and against the bar (4) . This prevents the hanger arm (1) from pivoting with respect to the bar (4) .
Welding support arm (5) to the hanger arm (1) greatly increases the cost of manufacture of the hanger arm (1) . The support arm (5) being of metal, tends to scratch or otherwise damage the bar (4) which can be aesthetically displeasing.
Shown in Figure 2 is an exploded view of a hanger arm assembly according to the invention. The hanger arm assembly comprises a hanger arm (1) and a support cap (6) . i I
The hanger arm (1) comprises *a hanger portion (2) and a connection portion (3) . The shape of the connection portion (3) is well known and comprises a hook arm (7) and an abutment arm (8) . In the absence of the support cap (6) the hook arm (7) is hooked over the top of the bar (4) and the hanger arm (1) is then pivoted in a vertical plane until the abutment arm (8) abuts against the bar (4) so maintaining the hanger arm (1) in place with respect to the bar (4) . Apertures (9) extend through the connection portion (3) .
The hanger arm can be laser cut from a metal sheet . Other methods of production of the hanger arm are possible.
The support cap (6) comprises first and second stabilising portions (10, 11) . Each stabilising portion (10, 11) has a cross section similar to the connection portion (3) and comprises a hook arm (12) and an abutment arm (13) .
