Definitions

  • the present application relates to garment hangers, and relates particularly, but not exclusively, to garment hangers moulded from plastics material.
  • Garment hangers are known in which a notch is formed in each of two arms of the hanger for receiving garments having straps, such as tops.
  • a hanger of this type is shown in Figure 1 , and comprises a body 2 having arms 4, 6, each of which is formed with an integrally moulded notch 8 for receiving a strap 10 of a garment 12.
  • Figures 3A to 3E illustrate the manufacture of prior art garment hangers by means of injection moulding.
  • a conventional hanger 20 of inverted U-shaped cross section as shown in Figure 3A(iii) is formed by bringing together two components 22, 24 of an injection moulding tool together along an axis A to form a mould cavity 26.
  • FIGs 3B(i) to (iv) illustrate how this process can be used to manufacture a hanger 28 having a notch 8 as shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • several hangers 28 can be produced by means of a single moulding tool 30, as shown in Figures 3D(i) to (iii) .
  • such hangers 28 suffer from the drawback that the notches 8 tend to be short, with no facility to prevent compression of the notch 8 when a garment 14 not having straps is mounted to the hanger, as shown in Figure 3B(iv) . This therefore can result in the problem of marking of the garment 14, as discussed above in connection with Figures 1 and 2 .
  • This problem is alleviated by producing a hanger 32 having a notch 8 defined by a wider upper member 34 of the hanger, as shown in Figure 3C(iii) .
  • This hanger 32 is produced by means of an injection moulding tool 36 having a lower part 38 and an upper part consisting of two side cores 40, 42.
  • the side cores 40, 42 are brought together along axis B, and the upper and lower parts of the tool 36 brought together along axis A.
  • the side cores 40, 42 move relative to each other in the direction of axis B, this significantly limits the number of hangers 32 which can be moulded in a single tool 36.
  • Preferred embodiments of the present invention seek to overcome the above disadvantages of the prior art.
  • this provides the advantage of assisting in manufacture of the hanger, since it is no longer necessary to use side cores as shown in Figures 3C and E to manufacture the notch, as a result of which a large number of hangers can be moulded by means of a single injection moulding tool.
  • At least one upper surface of a respective said notch may be provided with a high friction surface.
  • This provides the advantage of assisting in retaining a garment on the hanger.
  • At least one said friction surface may comprise rubber material.
  • a hanger has hanger arms (of which only one arm 106 is shown in Figure 4 ), the hanger arms being of inverted U-shaped cross-section and formed of plastics material by injection moulding.
  • the hanger arm 106 has a notch 108 defined by an integrally moulded upper member 116, and a corresponding notch is provided in the other hanger arm.
  • the notch 108 is formed by means of side action cores in an injection moulding tool used to mould the hanger.
  • the notch 108 is provided with an integrally moulded stepped portion 118, which acts as a support to prevent downward movement of the corresponding upper member 116 when a garment 114 ( Figure 5 ) is mounted to the hanger.
  • the upper member 116 is moulded in a slightly elevated position as shown in the upper part of Figure 4 .
  • a notch 208 is defined by a removable upper member 216 having a resilient clip portion 218 for resiliently engaging a corresponding recess (not shown) in the hanger arm 206.
  • the upper member 216 is also provided with a rubber overmoulded upper surface 220 to create a high friction area to assist in retaining the garment 114 on the hanger.
  • notch By forming the notch from a separate upper member 216, a large number of hangers can be simultaneously moulded in a single injection moulding tool, since the use of side cores, which require more space in an injection moulding tool, is avoided.
