Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a garment carrier for carrying a garment and, particular, for carrying a garment having sleeves.
  • Garment bags exist for carrying garments in suitcases, however, the garment bags are typically bulky, taking up a large amount of space in a suitcase, and do not adequately prevent creasing of garments.
  • the present invention provides a garment carrier for carrying a garment having sleeves, comprising:
  • a sleeve support positionable over the garment support in use to hold the garment between the garment support and sleeve support to maintain a fold in the garment between each shoulder of the garment and a neck region of the garment, so that portions of the sleeves extend from respective shoulders in divergent directions.
  • the sleeve support has edges about which outer parts of the sleeves can be folded back over the sleeve support. Those edges of the sleeve support may be mutually divergent so as to extend in use substantially perpendicularly across each sleeve so that the sleeves can be folded about those edges to extend towards the shoulders. In so doing, the sleeves in effect fold back upon themselves around the edges of the sleeve support.
  • the sleeve support has a central limb and a pair of divergent arms defining the edges.
  • the sleeve support is hinged to the garment support. This enables the sleeve support to pivot from an open condition in which, for example, a garment can be laid on the garment support, and a closed condition to hold the garment between the sleeve support and garment support.
  • the garment carrier further comprises a trouser support positionable over the sleeve support, in use to hold trousers between the sleeve support and the trouser support.
  • the trouser support may be capable of being arranged to enable a tail part of the garment to be folded back over the trousers to retain the trouser within the folded garment.
  • the present invention also provides a garment carrier for carrying a garment having sleeves, comprising:
  • a sleeve support positionable over the garment support to hold the garment between the garment support and sleeve support, the sleeve support comprising a central limb and a pair of arms about which sleeves of the garment are folded in use.
  • Some embodiments of the invention control the folding of the sleeves of the garment between the neck region and shoulders of the garment so as to avoid creating a fold through the shoulder of the garment.
  • Figure 1 shows a garment carrier in accordance with the present invention in an open condition
  • Figure 2 shows an exploded view of a garment carrier without garment and closing flaps
  • Figures 3 to 16 show progressive steps in a method for using the garment carrier of
  • Figure 17 is a exploded view of an alternative embodiment of a garment carrier;
  • Figure 18 provides various views of the garment carrier of Figure 17 when in a closed condition;
  • Figure 19 provides various views of the garment carrier of Figure 17 when in an open condition.
  • the garment carrier described herein is designed to reduce or avoid wrinkles and creases being formed in garments during travel and storage.
  • the garment carrier may comprise an insulating outer fabric sleeve (potentially including flaps that enclose the garment in the garment carrier).
  • the garment carrier may include a rigid floor (also referred to as a "garment support” or the "base” or “planar sheet” of a garment support).
  • the garment carrier may include a protective acrylic lid or "trouser support”. That trouser support may include a polycarbonate "clear window”.
  • the garment support includes a hinged T-bar or "sleeve support". In some embodiments, every relevant surface is designed to eliminate creases and wrinkle forming conditions, including the rounding of all edges that could come into contact with the garment when the garment carrier is in use.
  • Embodiments of a garment carrier 100 are described herein, for carrying a garment 10 having sleeves 12.
  • the garment carrier 100 comprises a garment support 14 and a sleeve support 16 positionable over the garment support 14. In use, the sleeve support 16 holds the garment 10 between the garment support 14 and sleeve support 16.
  • the sleeve support 16 maintains a fold in the garment 10 between each shoulder 18 of the garment 10 and a neck region 20 of the garment 10. In this configuration, portions 22 of the sleeves 12 extend from respective shoulders 18 in divergent directions. In other words, once the garment 10 has been positioned on the garment support 14 and the sleeve support 16 has been positioned over the garment support 14, the sleeves 12 extend away from the shoulders 18 in mutually divergent directions.
  • each sleeve 12 can then be folded back over the sleeve support 16. Once folded over the sleeve support 16, a portion of each sleeve 12, extending towards the respective cuff 24 of each sleeve 12, extends back towards the respective shoulder 18 of the garment 10.
  • FIG. 1 shows a garment carrier 100 for carrying a suit jacket 10 and a pair of trousers 26.
  • the garment carrier 100 comprises a garment support 14 and sleeve support 16.
  • the garment carrier 100 further comprises members, presently flaps 28, 30, for enclosing a folded garment.
  • the garment carrier 100 is in an open condition in which a garment 10 can be folded into the garment carrier 100.
  • the garment carrier 100 also has a closed condition (see Figure 14) in which a garment 10 is substantially enclosed within the garment carrier 100.
  • the garment support 14 comprises a substantially rectangular and planar sheet 15 having an inner surface, upon which to position a garment 10. An outer surface of the garment support 14 forms the back of the garment carrier 100 when the garment carrier 100 is in a closed condition.
  • the garment support 14 includes a cross-bar or clip 32 for engaging with a trouser support 68.
  • the cross-bar or clip 32 is attached at a long edge of the planar sheet 15.
  • the cross-bar or clip 32 protrudes substantially perpendicularly inwardly of the planar sheet.
  • the cross-bar or clip 32 comprises ends 34 under which part of the trouser support 68 is received to hold the trouser support 68 to the garment support 14. To facilitate retention of the trouser support 68, the ends 34 are concave.
  • the concave ends 34 of the cross-bar or clip 32 have elongate tabs 36 that ensure the trouser support 68 maintains tight engagement with the sleeve support 16. Inwardly of the elongate tabs 36, the concave ends 34 taper to a recess 38.
  • the sleeve support 16 is hinged to the cross-bar or clip 32 in the recess 38. It will be appreciated that the sleeve support 16 may be attached elsewhere on the garment support 14.
  • the garment support 14, including cross-bar or clip 32 can be formed from neoprene though other rigid or semi-rigid plastics, and other materials generally, may be used as appropriate.
  • the sleeve support 16 has a central limb 40 and a pair of divergent arms 42.
  • the pair of arms 42 form opposite ends of a bar 44.
  • the bar 44 extends generally across the top of the central limb 32.
  • the sleeve support 16 is hinged to the garment support 14 by a hinge pin 46 (see Figure 2) so as to be pivotal between an open condition as shown, in which a garment 10 can be positioned on the garment support 14, and a closed condition (see Figure 7).
  • the central limb 40 is formed from a flat, broad strip of polycarbonate.
  • the strip tapers from its widest point at which the bar 44 meets the limb 40, to its narrowest point at which the strip is hinged to the garment support 14.
  • the bar 44 includes a central straight portion 48 under which a trouser support 68 is received.
  • the broad hook 72 of the trouser support 68 is received under the central straight portion 48.
  • the central straight portion 48 includes a depression 50.
  • the depression 50 can be used both to facilitate locating the trouser support 68 under the sleeve support 16 as discussed below.
  • the depression 50 may also act as a handle by which to grasp the sleeve support 16 to pivot it into the open condition.
  • the arms 42 Integrally formed with the straight portion 48 are the arms 42.
  • the arms 42 extend at an angle to the straight portion 48, so that the arms extend substantially perpendicularly across sleeves 12 of the garment 10 when the sleeve support 16 is in the closed condition. Since the sleeves 12 diverge from the shoulders of the garment 10, the arms 42 are angled slightly rearwardly (i.e. towards the cross-bar 32) so as to lie perpendicularly across the sleeves 12. The arms 42 may consequently extend at any appropriate angle, though presently an obtuse angle has been used.
  • the arms 42 may also be hinged to the central straight portion 48 so as to enable the angle of the arms 42 relative to the central straight portion 48 to be adjusted.
  • the arms 42 are narrower than the straight portion 48 to afford gripping of the arms 42 when pivoting the sleeve support 16 to the closed condition.
  • the arms 42 meet the straight portion 48 at smooth curves so that no sharp edges are presented to the garment 10 when it is folded into the garment carrier 100.
  • the garment support 14 has two pairs of flaps 52, 54.
  • the flaps 52, 54 fold over a garment 10 that has been folded into the garment carrier 100, to enclose the garment 10.
  • Flaps 52 extend from opposite (long) sides of the garment support 14. As shown in Figure 1 , the flaps 52 extend from opposite (long) sides of the substantially planar sheet 15 of the garment support 14.
  • Flaps 52 are substantially rectangular in shape.
  • the flaps 52 have a length that is substantially the same as the length of the planar sheet 15.
  • a long edge of each rectangular flap 52 is co-extensive with a respective long edge of the planar sheet 15.

  • flaps 52, 54 flaps 52 are the first to be folded over a garment 10 that has been folded into the garment carrier 100.
  • One of the flaps 52 is foldable in use over the neck region 20 and shoulders 18 of the garment.
  • Flaps 52 fold into engagement with each other.
  • one of the flaps 52 is provided with a tab 62 covered with hooks or loops of a hook and loop fastener system, and the other of the flaps 52 is provided with a patch of the corresponding hooks or loops on an outer surface. The hooks engage the loops to hold the flaps 52 in engagement.
  • flaps 52 may be secured together.
  • no tab 62 need be provided.
  • the outer surface of the respective flap 52 could include a similar patch of hooks or loops.
  • a tab 62 will save using excess material that would otherwise extend from either side of the tab 62 the extent of the long edge of the flap 52.
  • the garment carrier 100 further includes one or more garment protecting wings or tabs 56.
  • the wings or tabs 56 are located at the corners of each flap 52 where the respective flap 52 meets the planar sheet 15.
  • Each wing or tab 56 is a rounded projection extending outwardly from a short edge of the flap 52.
  • Each wing or tab 56 lies in the same plane as the remainder of the respective generally rectangular flap 52.
  • the wings or tabs 56 ensure that corner portions of the folded garment 10 do not protrude from the garment carrier 100 in a manner that would leave them exposed during transit.
  • each flap 52 On an outer surface of each flap 52 are half of the teeth 60 of a zipper (shown in broken line as Figure 1 shows the inner surface of the flaps 52 rather than the outer surface - discussed a detail below).
  • the teeth 60 of the zipper are attached to the respective flap 52 by stitching which is visible on the inner surface of the flap 52 as shown.
  • Flaps 54 are substantially triangular in shape and extend from opposite (short) sides of the garment support 14. As shown in Figure 1 , the flaps 54 extend from opposite (short) sides of the substantially planar sheet 15 of the garment support 14. The outer apex of each flap 54 is rounded. Rows of zipper teeth 66 extend from the corners of the flaps 54 at which the flaps 54 meet the sheet 15, to a point where the edge of the respective flap 54 begins to round around the outer apex. The rows of teeth 66 are attached at an edge of the respective flap 54, though they may alternatively be attached to an inner surface of the flap 54 near the edge thereof.

  • the sleeves 12 together with neck region 20, give the garment 10 a fold in the shape of a Delta (i.e. the jacket has a characteristic "Delta-fold").
  • Such a Delta-fold as described herein substantially reduces the likelihood of creasing in shoulder regions of suit jackets.
  • the shoulder regions of suit jackets are where creases have been traditionally unavoidable except by hanging the jacket up during transit, which is often not possible (e.g. it would not be possible in an overhead luggage rack in a plane or when in a suitcase).
  • the garment carrier 100 has been especially designed to maintain the Delta-fold by providing a sleeve support 16.
  • the sleeve support 16 includes a central limb 40 that pivotally connects to the garment support 14 near where the neck region 20 of the garment 10 will be positioned on the garment support 14.
  • the central limb 40 holds, pins or otherwise retains the neck region 20 against the planar sheet 15.
  • the sleeve support 16 thereby also extends down the back of the garment 10 between the shoulders 18.
  • the bar 44 of the sleeve support 16 extends across the back of the garment 10, under the shoulders 18, and over the sleeves 12 to hold the sleeves such that the Delta-fold is maintained. It will be noted that the sleeve support 16 lies perpendicularly across the sleeves 12. Consequently, though further folds are made in the garment 10 to reduce its size for transit, and the garment carrier 100 is folded about the folded garment 10, the Delta shape formed by the neck region 20, shoulders 18 and sleeves 12 is maintained.
  • the edges 1 10 of the sleeve support 16 are mutually divergent so as to extend in use substantially perpendicularly across each sleeve 12 so that the sleeves 12 can be folded about those edges 1 10 to extend towards the shoulders 18. In effect, the sleeves 12 can be doubled back over themselves. As shown in Figure 8, even after having been folded back over themselves, the sleeves 12 maintain a Delta-fold shape. It will be understood that maintaining the Delta-fold shape in and around the shoulders 18 and neck 20 that substantially reduces the likelihood of creasing of the garment 10, and that maintaining the Delta shape with doubling over of the sleeves 12 is more to contain the size of the folded garment 10 than to reduce creasing. Thus the sleeves 12 can in fact be folded in a number of different ways resulting in a number of different shapes.
  • trousers 76 can be laid over the sleeves 12 as indicated by arrow I in Figure 9. When in this position the top edge of the waist of the trousers 76 is generally aligned with the short edge of planar sheet 15, at which planar sheet 15 meets flap 54. Thus the legs of the trousers 76 extend across the garment support 14.
  • the hook 72 of the trouser support 68 is then hooked underneath the bar 44 of the sleeve support 16 as indicated by arrows J and K in Figures 10 and 11 respectively.
  • the bar 44 is spaced away from the planar sheet 15. Since the sleeves 12 are folded around the bar 44, there is less pressure placed by the sleeves 12 on the body of the garment 10.
  • the hook 72 reduces the likelihood of creases being formed between the body of the garment 10 and the sleeves 12.
  • the lip 74 of the trouser support 68 is dropped over the cross-bar or clip 32 as indicated by arrow L.

  • the lip 74 may positively engage the cross-bar or clip 32, though positive engagement will in most circumstances be unnecessary since when the flaps 52, 54 are zipped together as discussed hereafter, the trouser support 68 will be held in position.
  • the trouser support 68 When the trouser support 68 is in position, it presses the trousers 76 against the garment 10 to hold both in position on the garment support 14.
  • the legs of the trousers 76 can then be folded over the trouser support 68, particularly a short edge of the trouser support 68, as indicated by arrow M in Figure 12.
  • the width of the garment carrier 100, and/or the width of the trouser support 68 can be selected to suit a particular length of trousers 76, so that when the trousers 76 folded about the trouser support 68 the hems of the legs of the trousers 76 are at or near the waist of the trousers 76. It will be appreciated that any width of garment carrier 100 and trouser support 68 may be used, but is generally preferable that the trouser support 68 be at least as wide as half of the length of the trousers 76 so that the trousers 76 need only have one fold in order to be contained within the garment carrier 100.
  • a tail part 112 of the garment 10 can be folded back over the trousers 76 as indicated by arrow N in the Figure 13.
  • the trousers 76 are retained, together with the trouser support 68, within the folded garment 10.
  • creases should be avoided during folding so as to reduce the likelihood of creases when the garment 10 is unpacked from the garment carrier 100.
