Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a collapsible garment hanger and more particularly, to a hanger for "pullover" garments such as T-shirts, polo style shirts, golf and tennis shirts, turtlenecks, sweatshirts, some sweaters and other garments.
  • the present invention provides a collapsible hanger to be used in the hanging and un-hanging of garments.
  • the hanger of injection molded plastic construction in a preferred embodiment, incorporates a pair of opposed, pivoting, garment supporting arms that can be extended to hang a garment, or collapsed to remove a garment from the hanger.
  • the two arms are articulated by means of an integral pivoting hinge located on the inferior border at the center of the hanger.
  • An integral latch mechanism is incorporated along a portion of the superior border of the hanger's arms, subjacent and adjacent to the integral suspending rod hook.
  • this latch Activation of this latch with the use of one finger, preferably the thumb or forefinger, disengages the latch and collapses the hanger from the extended position allowing for the simple one handed removal of a garment from the hanger without removing the hanger from the closet rod or hanger rack.
  • This latch engages automatically when hanging a garment upon extension of the hanger arms to the extended position(s).
  • a region of interposition of the two hanger arms is incorporated in the design. This region, around and near the center of rotation of the hanger, combined with the large diameter of the integral pivoting hinge mechanism produces a durable and dependable structure.
  • "pullover" garments such as T-shirts, polo style shirts, golf and tennis shirts, turtlenecks, sweatshirts, some sweaters and other garments, without stretching, deforming, or damaging the garment.
  • the present invention is a collapsible garment hanger and is generally referred to with numeral 10. It can be observed that it basically includes male arm 12 having integral hinge mechanism 13, and female arm 11.
  • collapsible garment hanger 10 comprises male arm 12 having integral hinge mechanism 13, and female arm 11.
  • Female arm 11 and male arm 12 joined at integral hinge mechanism 13.
  • Female arm 11 and male arm 12 can be articulated between a fully extended position, as illustrated in figure 1 , and a collapsed position as illustrated in figure 2 .
  • the articulation is provided by integral hinge mechanism 13.
  • Female arm 11 comprises hanger hook 25.
  • Male arm 12 comprises latch 21 and partial disc 17.
  • collapsible garment hanger 10 is designed so that female arm 11 and male arm 12 will cease to collapse when free ends 24 approximate.
  • female parts 14 of integral hinge mechanism 13 are integral to opposed female arm 11, and male parts 16 and partial disc 17 are integral to male arm 12, extending from a portion of its proximal and approximating surface.
  • Latching means are provided by two sets of teeth 19 and 20.
  • Set of teeth 19 is integral to female arm 11, and set of teeth 20 is located on latch 21, which is an integral part of male arm 12.
  • the mechanical and physical characteristics of integral connection 22, along with flexible and resilient qualities of a plastic polymer or polymers used, ensure that set of teeth 20 of latch 21 on male arm 12 will forcefully engage set of teeth 19 of female arm 11 upon extension of female arm 11 and male arm 12, and readily collapse when applying finger pressure to area 23 of latch 21.
  • the inclination and angulations of sets of teeth 19 and 20, relative to an arc of curvature (closure) of integral hinge mechanism 13 results in set of teeth 19 and set of teeth 20 closing or "biting" with greater force as garment 28 weight increases.
  • Collapsible garment hanger 10 will support garments 28 of any weight including the heaviest jackets and coats. While collapsible garment hanger 10 described and illustrated in the drawings has sets of teeth 19 and 20, one set on female arm 11 and male arm 12 respectively, it is possible to use fewer teeth in each set or to incorporate more teeth and/or teeth spaced farther apart. Adding additional teeth and/or spacing the teeth farther apart would require minor modifications in the design but would provide collapsible garment hanger 10 as previously described with the additional and novel feature of having multiple final extended hanging positions. There is great variation in hanger form and design and in the angles formed by female arm 11 and male arm 12. These angles range from approximately 25 degrees to approximately 60 degrees.
  • Hanger hook 25 is an integral part of female arm 11.
  • a non-integral and swiveling hook model is contemplated as well as a "hook-less” or “hotel style” model for public use.
  • anti-slip features located on the superior surface of female arm 11 and male arm 12 are contemplated. These anti-slip features may be integral to female arm 11 and male arm 12 and textural in nature, or be made of a different material.
  • instant invention 10 comprises receptacles for strapped garments and the like. These features or ones functionally equivalent may be incorporated into the upper and/ or lower surfaces of female arm 11 and male arm 12.
  • male parts 16 of integral hinge mechanism 13 located on both sides of the male arm 12 have ramped portion 18 to facilitate assembly and to prevent disassembly of female arm 11 and male arm 12.
  • female parts 14 at an inferior extreme of a proximal border of female arm 11 are cooperatively shaped to receive male parts 16, ramped portion 18 first.
  • male parts 16 fully enter female parts 14, thus assembling collapsible garment hanger 10 from its two component parts, female arm 11 and male arm 12 cannot be disassembled. This is principally due to the shape and direction of ramped portion 18 on male parts 16 of male arm 12.
  • partial disc 17 is interposed within channel 30 formed by a space between lateral walls 15 of female arm 11 where partial disc 17 of male arm 12 is received. This feature gives collapsible garment hanger 10 exceptional stability and durability.
  • a three-piece design including female arm 11 and male arm 12 joined at integral hinge mechanism 13 may be used.
