Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to garment storage and, more particularly, to garment hangers for hanging garments for storage.
- hangers for hanging garments from a clothes rod or other elevated structure have been known for some time. More recently, hangers have included pairs of clip members that allow a garment to be retained between the lower portions of the clip members. As shown by U.S. Design Pat. Nos. D481,618 and D552,461, the hooks utilized in such hangers commonly extend within the same plane as one of the clip members. Accordingly, when the hanger is laden with a garment and hung from a clothes rod or other horizontal structure, the weight of the garment will force the hanger to list toward the clip member having the hook.
- the present invention provides garment hangers that overcome many of the shortcomings of certain prior art hangers.
- garment hangers are disclosed that include a laterally offset hook member that positions the hook member towards the center, and hence closer to a center of gravity, of a closed clip. As a result, garments attached to the hanger are allowed to hang more vertically during use.
- the garment hanger includes a pair of hanger members that are pivotally connected together through a spring.
- the first hanger member includes an upper hook member and a lower clip region, with the upper hook member being laterally offset from the upper portion of the lower clip member.
- the second hanger or clip member is generally curved or arcuate in construction and includes a tab or upper gripping surface on its exterior side. The bottom parts of the interior sides of the lower clip region and the second hanger member include gripping regions to facilitate the grasping and retention of a garment during use.
- the spring biases the gripping regions of the lower clip member and the second hanger member together so that the clip is in a closed position. Movement of the tabs or manual gripping surfaces of the hanger members towards each other overcomes the spring bias and acts to separate the gripping regions to allow a garment such as, but not limited to, a boot, to be selectively introduced or removed from the space therein.

Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates, in general, to garment storage and, more particularly, to garment hangers for hanging garments for storage.
- 2. General Background of the Invention
- Hangers for hanging garments from a clothes rod or other elevated structure have been known for some time. More recently, hangers have included pairs of clip members that allow a garment to be retained between the lower portions of the clip members. As shown by U.S. Design Pat. Nos. D481,618 and D552,461, the hooks utilized in such hangers commonly extend within the same plane as one of the clip members. Accordingly, when the hanger is laden with a garment and hung from a clothes rod or other horizontal structure, the weight of the garment will force the hanger to list toward the clip member having the hook.
- The present invention provides garment hangers that overcome many of the shortcomings of certain prior art hangers. In particular, garment hangers are disclosed that include a laterally offset hook member that positions the hook member towards the center, and hence closer to a center of gravity, of a closed clip. As a result, garments attached to the hanger are allowed to hang more vertically during use.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, the garment hanger includes a pair of hanger members that are pivotally connected together through a spring. The first hanger member includes an upper hook member and a lower clip region, with the upper hook member being laterally offset from the upper portion of the lower clip member. The second hanger or clip member is generally curved or arcuate in construction and includes a tab or upper gripping surface on its exterior side. The bottom parts of the interior sides of the lower clip region and the second hanger member include gripping regions to facilitate the grasping and retention of a garment during use.
- In operation, the spring biases the gripping regions of the lower clip member and the second hanger member together so that the clip is in a closed position. Movement of the tabs or manual gripping surfaces of the hanger members towards each other overcomes the spring bias and acts to separate the gripping regions to allow a garment such as, but not limited to, a boot, to be selectively introduced or removed from the space therein.

- An embodiment of the
present garment hanger 10 is shown inFIGS. 1-6 as comprising afirst hanger member 12 and a second hanger orclip member 14. The hanger members are preferably constructed of a substantially rigid material such as, but not limited to oriented polypropylene (OPP). - Referring to
FIG. 6 , the first hanger member is shown as having anupper hook member 20 and a lower clip region ormember 22. While theupper hook member 20 andlower clip region 22 are shown as being integrally formed, it is appreciated that they may be separately formed and attached or fixed together in a known way. - The
upper hook member 20 includes aneck 30 extending from thelower clip region 22 and culminating in acurved hook 32. Theneck 30 andhook 32 have anexterior wall 34 defining an open region therebetween, the wall being of sufficient thickness to withstand the weight of the desired garment(s) when in use. While the upper hook member is shown as being generally hollow in construction, it is appreciated that it may be solid or have ribbing or other internal structures and not depart from the scope of the invention. In order to provide additional strength and lessen the risk of the upper hook member being snapped off from the lower clip region, the walls of the neck may extend into the lower clip region. - The
lower clip region 22 includes anouter wall 40 that defines a substantially hourglass body and an interior region.Internal ribs 42 extend within the interior region to provide structural support to thelower clip region 22. A pair of spaced-apart arms 44 havingholes 46 through their ends extend outwardly from the interior of thelower clip region 22 to allow aspring 50 to be positioned in between thearms 44. A rivot orother connector 48 may be inserted through theholes 46 and the interior of thespring 50. Thefirst end 52 of thespring 50 may be connected to thelower clip region 22 by inserting it into a respective groove orslot 56. It is also appreciated that the end may simply push against the interior of thelower clip member 22. Referring toFIG. 6 , the upper portion of the lower clip region is substantially planar. - The bottom of the
lower clip region 22 includes agarment gripping region 60. While a variety of shapes, sizes and materials may be used, in a preferred embodiment, thegripping region 60 may encompass the majority of the interior region of the bottom of the body of thelower clip region 22 and be made from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) withlamellae 62. Thegriping region 60 may be secured in place throughwall 64 andwall 40 that, together, form an enclosure for encircling thegripping region 60. The gripping region may be secured within the enclosure using adhesives, a press fit or other known means. - The outside of the
lower clip region 22 includes a tab orupper gripping surface 70 and a lowerinterior region 72 defined bywall 40 andsurface 74. One ormore ribs 76 may extend within the lowerinterior region 72 to provide structural strength to thelower clip region 22. Theupper gripping surface 70 is designed to provide an area for a user to grip to facilitate separation of the clip members. Theupper gripping surface 70 may be made from a material having a higher coefficient of friction or including a textured surface to provide a surface that resists sliding thereon. It is also appreciated that the upper grippingsurface 70 may be made from a material that is printable or that can receive a sticker or other covering member thereon to allow advertising or other indicia to be displayed thereon. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , theupper hook member 20 extends in a plane that is laterally offset from the plane generally defined by the upper portion of thelower clip member 22 so that at least part of theupper hook member 20 extends over part of thespring 50 and other internal components. Being laterally offset positions thehook 32 towards the center of the clip in the closed position (rather than one of the pivoting clip members itself). This permits a hanger burdened by the weight of a garment, such as a boot, to hang more vertically when in use. - The second hanger member or
clip member 12 includes anouter wall 100 that defines a substantially hourglass body and an interior region. One or moreinternal ribs 102 may extend within the interior region to provide structural support to thesecond hanger member 14. A pair of spaced-apart arms 104 havingholes 106 through their ends extend outwardly from the interior of thesecond hanger member 14 to allow aspring 50 to be positioned in between thearms 104. Thearms 104 are offset fromcorresponding arms 44 on thelower clip region 22 so that they may be placed within thearms 44 to allow theholes other connector 48 to be inserted therethrough to attach the first andsecond hanger members spring 50. - The
second end 54 of thespring 50 may be connected to thesecond hanger member 14 by inserting it into a respective groove, slot or opening 110 on one of thearms 104. It is also appreciated that the end may simply push against the interior of the second hanger member or be attached in another known way. The bottom of thesecond hanger member 14 includes agarment gripping region 120. While a variety of shapes, sizes and materials may be used, in a preferred embodiment, thegripping region 120 may encompass the majority of the interior region of the bottom of the body of thesecond hanger member 14 and be made from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) withlamellae 122. The gripingregion 120 may be secured in place throughwall 124 andwall 100 that, together, form an enclosure for encircling thegripping region 120. The gripping region may be secured within the enclosure using adhesives, a press fit or other known means. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , the outside of thesecond hanger member 14 includes a tab or uppergripping surface 130 and a lower region orcavity 132 defined bywall 100 andsurface 134. One ormore ribs 136 may extend within thelower region 132 to provide structural strength to thesecond hanger member 14. The uppergripping surface 130 is designed to provide an area for a user to grip to facilitate separation of the clip members (i.e., opening of the clip). The upper gripping surface may be made from a material having a higher coefficient of friction or including a textured surface to provide a surface that resists sliding thereon. It is also appreciated that the uppergripping surface 130 may be made from a material that is printable or that can receive a sticker or other covering member thereon to allow advertising or other indicia to be displayed thereon. - In operation,
spring 50 normally biases thegarment gripping regions gripping surfaces spring 50 and biases thegarment gripping regions second hanger member 14 is curved so that the angle between thegarment gripping regions garment gripping regions gripping surfaces spring 50 to act to bias the clip members together, wherein thegarment gripping regions hook 32 may then be placed over a clothes rod and hung thereon. The laterally offsethook member 20 positions thehook 32 toward the center of a closed clip, rather than inline with one of the pivoting clip members, thereby allowing the clip and retained garment to hang more vertically. Specifically, and as best seen inFIG. 2 ,lower clip region 22 offirst hanger member 12 extends vertically through a second plane that is laterally offset from, and parallel to, a first plane extending vertically throughupper hook member 20. This lateral offset causes the top portion ofhook member 20 to be laterally disposed closer to a garment retained bypresent garment hanger 10, and thus disposed laterally closer to an overall center of gravity ofgarment hanger 10 and its retained garment. As a result,garment hanger 10 will tend to hang more vertically from an associated clothes rod or other support, particularly when laden with a relatively heavy garment, than with prior art hangers having hooks extending through the same plane as an associated clip member. - Many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described. Various modifications, changes and variations may be made in the arrangement, operation and details of performing the various steps of the invention disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The present disclosure is intended to exemplify and not limit the invention.
