Description

HANGER FOR FOOTWEAR.
FIELD OF INVENTION The present invention relates to hangers.
More particularly, the invention relates to hangers for suspending shoes from rails or other supporting structures.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION According to the invention, a hanger for suspending shoes from a rail or other supporting structure, includes an elongated suspension member located in a first plane; engagement means joined to the suspension member for engaging with a rail or other supporting structure; and at least one shoe engaging member joined at one end to the suspension member and extending towards the engagement means but being in a plane inclined to the plane of the suspension member.
Two shoe engagement members may be provided, one on either side of the suspension member.
Each shoe engagement member may have an elongated leg, which at one end is connected to the suspension member, and a curved part at its opposite end, which is directed towards the engagement means.
The curved part may be ring shaped or P-shaped.
The curved part may be resiliently flexible.
Each curved part may narrow towards its extremity The engagement means may include a hook formation for engaging with a rail or other supporting structure.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.
In the drawings there is shown in Figure 1 a front view of a hanger for shoes in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 a side view of a hanger seen along arrow II; and Figure 3 a rear view of the hanger seen along arrow III in Figure 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS Referring to the drawings, the hanger, generally indicated by reference numeral 10, includes an elongated centrally located suspension member 12, which terminates into suspension means in the form of a hook 14. The hook 14 is adapted to hook over a support rail or other supporting structure At the bottom end of the suspension member 12, opposite to the hook 14, two elongated shoe engagement members 16 and 18 are provided. The shoe engagement members 16, 18 are joined at 20, 22 respectively to the suspension member 12 and at their free ends terminate into curved ring shaped parts 24 and 26 respectively.
As is clear from Figure 2, the suspension member 12 is located in a first plane 28 and the shoe engagement members 16, 18 are located in a second plane 30, which is at an angle to the plane 28. The angle between the two planes 28, 30 is about 30g. The shoe engagement members 16, 18 are thus inclined towards the rear of the hanger 10.
The suspension member 12 further carries a plate 32 on which information, such as shoe sizes or prices can be provided.
The curved parts 24, 26 are resiliently deflectable and are shaped narrowing towards their extremities that they can be deflected inwardly for being able to fit into a narrow type of shoe (eg. a smaller type of shoe, eg.
ladies' shoe).
The hanger 10 may be injection moulded of suitable plastics material.
The inclination of the members 16, 18 allows the shoes to be suspended vertically as the curved parts 24, 26 engage into the inclined upper part of shoes so that the sole of a shoe in use would be in a substantially vertical plane and the sole would face towards the rear of the hanger 10.
