Definitions

  • a clothes hanger has a combined hook-handle which is swingable between positions in which the hook is uppermost or in which the handle is uppermost.
  • a lower bar for holding trousers is provided by a folded-over portion of triangular cross section the end of which is 1nserted for retention in a slot. When the end portion is in the slot, the hanger has considerable thickness; but when the end portion is out of the slot, the hanger can fold flat.
  • Clothes hangers have of course been known for a long time and are intended to carry clothes in the best possible condition to avoid wrinkling.
  • the upper part is shaped to follow the shape of the shoulders of a suit or of a coat, whereas a transverse rod receives the trousers. Finally, an open hook enables to suspend the clothes hanger on a rod.
  • clothing is very difiicult to transport on a clothes hanger. This is particularly the case when several pieces of clothing have to be transported, as it is the case, for example, when one has to transport a complete collection for its presentation.
  • the present invention provides a remedy for this drawback and, to this end, has for its object a clothes hanger characterized in that it comprises at its upper part a holding handle, preferably provided with a notch the dimensions of which correspond substantially to those of a rod and/ or a hanging wire.
  • the clothes hanger comprises at the same time a traditional hook and a gripping handle, these two elements being able to occupy, selectively, an active and a retracted position through pivoting, folding, sliding or otherw1se.
  • the hook and the handle are provided on the periphery of a same part mounted pivotally in its center at the summit of the clothes hanger proper, the pivoting axis being perpendicular to the plan of the constitutive piece of the clothes hanger.
  • the clothes hanger is obtained by cutting and folding only one sheet of cardboard which comprises at least one folding line on a part forming a transverse trouserscarrying rod, two pairs of inclined rods being provided on either side of the folding line, one of these pairs carrying at its summit a hook whereas the other bears a gripping handle, these two members being, for example, spaced in height.
  • the clothes hanger is obtained through cutting and folding a sheet of cardboard which comprises two inclined rods the edge of which is provided with at least one folding line for a lug which at least partially doubles the thickness of each inclined rod.
  • a hook and/or a gripping handle is provided on a removable piece introduced and locked between the inclined rods and their doubling lugs.
  • the clothes hanger comprises two similar parts, each fixed by means of its base on either side of the aperture of a bag.
  • FIGURE 6 is a perspective view hanger of the type of FIGURE 5, of one of its other part.
  • FIGURE 7 is a plan view of a piece comprising a conventlonal hook and a linkage with the clothes hanger of FIGURES 5 and 6.
  • the clothes hanger comprises, in known manner, an upper curved part 1 the ends of which are connected through a transversal rectilinear horizontal member 2.
  • a gripping handle 3 is located the dimensions and the shape of which are adapted to a human hand, in such a way that one may comfortably carry the clothes hanger as one carries easily ob ects much heavier such as a suit-case or a bag.
  • the provision of the handle 3 does not hinder easily hanging the clothes hanger on a rod of a hanging facility for example, since a notch 4 is provided the dimensions of which are designed to ensure a perfect stabilit of the clothes hanger.
  • the notch 4 alone or associated with the notch 5 is not necessary since one could without great inconvenience hang the clothes hanger through its handle 3 only but if the net cost is not prohibitive, one sees conversely, that the notch or notches are not awkward for a good gripping of the handle 3.
  • a beak gs shows, in perspective view, clothes hanger according to of a complete clothes in which the outside parts is seen as well as the inside of the 6 in the handle 3 limiting the aperture 7 to a width just sufiicient for the passage of a standard rod. In that way, one avoids nearly all tilting danger and possible falling of the clothes hanger when it is suspended.
  • Studs may also be provided on the lower face of the handle 3 which correspond to intervals of the fingers of the hand, the hanging rod finding then its place between two studs.
  • the clothes hanger is obtained by cutting out and folding a sheet of cardboard, so as to present a body comprised by a transverse trousers-carrying horizontal member '2 and two pairs of inclined members 8.
  • the part 2a presents another fold line 10 defining a part 21; terminating in a central lug 11 having divergent edges.
  • the member 2 has a fold line 12 and a central slot 12a having a length slightly less than the greater length of the lug 11 taking into account the tapering of its edges.
  • the upper part of the inclined members 8 encompasses a central piece 13 and a rivet (or eyelet) 14 passes through the whole in order on the one hand to interconnect the two pairs of members 8 and on the other hand to enable the pivoting of the piece 13.
  • the piece 13 is thus pivotally secured between the upper central portions of each half section of the hanger for rotation in its plane, that is, for rotation in a plane parallel to the plane of the hanger.
  • a hook 15 At the periphery of the piece 13, are located, diametrically opposed one from the other, a hook 15 and a gripping handle 16.
  • the member 2 is greatly enlarged and strengthened through the horizontal part 2a, the trousers or clothing is then better maintained and is not subjected to a strong folding.
  • the inclined members 8 located one in front of the other are progressively spaced apart from the top to the bottom.
  • the jacket of the suit is perfectly held in place at the height of its shoulders.
  • the part 2a is located in the plane of one face of the member 2 whereas the part 2b and the lug 11 are in the plane of the piece 13.
  • the clothes hanger comprises two similar parts 17 and 18 glued together by means of their base on either side of the aperture of a paper bag 19 having lateral bellows.
  • Each part is obtained by cutting out and folding a sheet of cardboard such as that represented in FIGURE 5.
  • This sheet comprises a trousers-carrying rod 2 and two inclined arms 8. At their summit, the arms 8 terminate in a gripping handle 20.
  • each edge of the bag 19 is glued between the rod 2 towards the outside and the extensions 22 and the fiap 23 towards the inside.
  • the part 17 is located on one of the sides whereas the part 18 is located on the other side.
  • the piece 24 comprises a hook 25 and a base 26 the shape and the dimensions of which are such that it locks perfectly the upper part of the arms 8 and of the lugs 21.
  • the piece 24 is provided with fold lines 27 and 28 enabling to fold back the hook and to free the handle 20. Conversely, if one desires to use the hook 25 and not the handle 20, one folds this latter along a fold line 29.
  • the clothes hanger which has been described enables to suspend a suit and to use the bag 19 as a pocket.
  • the filling of the bag 19 is not harmful to the suit but rather is an advantage since the jacket is expanded at the height of the chest.
  • the objects put in the bag 19 do not damage the suit since they are wrapped in the bag and their outer shape is thus smoothed.
  • Such a clothes hanger is particularly well-suited for camping, sport, beach and travel and so on.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown but encompasses, on the contrary, all the variants. Particularly, one could be satisfied with a clothes hanger for a jacket only without trousers, in which case no central aperture would be provided to create the transverse rod. In the same way, one may provide little hooks or recesses for the suspension of dresses with shoulder straps.
  • a clothes hanger comprising a pair of inclined members and an upper central portion connected therebetween for supporting the shoulders of a garment, said inclined members and central portion being disposed generally in a common plane, and a suspension piece for the hanger, said suspension piece being disposed in a plane generally parallel to said common plane and being pivotally secured to said upper central portion of the hanger for pivotal movement of the suspension piece in the plane of the suspension piece about an axis that is generally each other and being substantially coplanar in said plane 5 of said suspension piece.
  • a clothes hanger as claimed in claim 1 and a horizontal member interconnecting the lower ends of said inclined portions remote from said upper central portion 10 of the hanger.
