Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to hangers, and more particularly, to a device and a method for using a hanger for garments of the type having a “cold-shoulder”, “off the shoulder” and/or “open shoulder” look for shirts, tops, sweaters, dresses, jackets, lingerie, bathing suits, exercise clothes.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Traditional hangers are fine for most clothing garments. The typical clothes hangers used to hold clothing items are all, in their most simple conformation, made of a rigid, arch/wing shaped structure equipped with a central hook, which terminates with a substantially round shape on both sides. Unfortunately, traditional hangers will eliminate the visibility of the “cold-shoulder”, “off the shoulder” and/or “open shoulder” style clothing in the closet and/or on a rack, when a user is looking for a particular style or type of clothing. Additionally, traditional hanger's can result in the “cold-shoulder”, “off the shoulder” and/or “open shoulder” style clothing falling off the hanger to the floor, and losing the shoulder/sleeve shape.
  • However, the present invention has as its primary object to visually show the “open shoulder” style on the hanger. The “open shoulder” style of clothing is known as “cold-shoulder” and/or “off the shoulder” look.
  • From applicants' perspective known hangers for garments of the type having a “cold-shoulder” and/or “off the shoulder” look for shirts, tops, sweaters, dresses, and jackets all exhibit less than desired garment visibility and retention on the hanger. As such, therein the need in the art for a new and improved hanger that can provide the desired garment visibility and retention capacity and shoulder/sleeve shape.
  • Traditional hangers having an arch/wing portion do not derive or provide any benefit for “cold-shoulder” and/or “off the shoulder” shoulder/sleeve retention, since the arms of the garment hang downward with gravity and provide no visibility for a user to quickly and easily visibly see which clothing items have a “cold-shoulder” and/or “off the shoulder” look. As such, therein the need in the art for a new and improved hanger that provides visibility for a user to quickly and easily identify which clothes items have a “cold-shoulder” and/or “off the shoulder” look.
  • Furthermore traditional hangers having arch/wing portions do not afford the hanger seller the facility for retention of “cold-shoulder” and/or “off the shoulder” by providing a plurality of notches on each side of the wing for retention of the garment and for a more esthetically pleasing display of the garment. As such, therein the need in the art for a new and improved hanger that provides a plurality of notches on each side of the wing for retention of the garment and for a more esthetically pleasing display of “cold-shoulder”, “off the shoulder”, and “open shoulder” garments.
  • The present invention concerns a hanger of the type provided with a hanger body having an arch/wing portions for suspension extending from the hanger hook for suspending the hanger from a support, wherein the wings have at least two notches, an upper notch and a lower notch on each side of the hanger for retaining “cold-shoulder”, “off the shoulder” and/or “open shoulder” garments on the hanger.
  • A further object of the present invention in the preferred embodiment is to achieve a hanger of the type equipped with at least two notches, an upper notch and a lower notch on each side of the hanger, wherein the lower notch is equipped with teeth for gripping material inserted into the notch for retention of the clothing to visually display the “cold-shoulder”, “off the shoulder” and/or “open shoulder” look on the hanger.
  • Such hangers comprise wing portions extending generally horizontally from the central portion, each wing portion having at least two notches, an upper notch and a lower notch on each side of the wing for holding “cold-shoulder” and/or “off the shoulder” garments, wherein the material from the clothing is slipped into two or more notches and where two or more of the notches are equipped with teeth for gripping the clothing after it is insert into the notches for retention of the clothing to visuallyly display the “cold-shoulder”, “off the shoulder” and/or “open shoulder” look.
  • In this respect, the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art. While numerous other attempts at improved hangers have been made, none provide for the visually hanging of garments of the type having a “cold-shoulder”, “off the shoulder” and/or “open shoulder” look for shirts, tops, sweaters, dresses, and jackets. As such, a need for an improved hanger therefore exists.
