Definitions

  • the subject disclosure relates to hangers for clothes, and more particularly to clothes hangers that utilize less space and/or efficiently hang items of various heft.
  • Conventional clothes hangers can be ineffective at utilizing limited closet space. Additionally, the clothes hangers can be relatively plain and unsuitable for hanging items of various heft. For example, heavyweight wooden hangers may be overpriced to support a silk blouse while a cheap wire or plastic hanger may have insufficient strength to hold a shearling winter coat.
  • clothes hangers that provide consumers with the ability to use the same cost-effective hangers to hold both light and heavy items as desired. Further, the clothes hangers are also preferably aesthetically pleasing. Still further, preferred clothes hangers will nest and/or couple together to efficiently utilize closet space.
  • the subject technology is directed to a hanger assembly including a first hanger with a first body with a first upstanding hook for coupling to a rod and a first magnet coupled to the first body along with a second hanger with a second body with a second upstanding hook for coupling to the rod and a second magnet coupled to the second body, wherein the magnets are positioned such that the hangers are retained together for use in holding heavier items.
  • the first and second main bodies include opposing arms extending from the upstanding hook for supporting a garment. Each main body forms a raised area and a complimentary recessed area to facilitate nesting of the hangers. The raised and complimentary areas are roughly triangular in shape to prevent rotational movement when the hangers are nested.
  • the hanger assembly may also form the raised and complimentary areas in a plate assembly.
  • the plate assembly includes a front plate that provides indicia and an opposing back plate.
  • the back plate forms a frame for holding the magnet.
  • the raised and complimentary areas form a hollow for holding the magnet.
  • a hanger assembly including a first body with an upstanding hook for coupling to a rod and opposing arms extending from the upstanding hook for supporting a garment, wherein the first body defines a convex shape on a first side.
  • a second body has an upstanding hook for coupling to a rod and opposing arms extending from the upstanding hook for supporting a garment, wherein the second body defines a concave shape on a first side so that the convex and concave shapes
  • the first body may have a concave shape on a second side and the second body may have a convex shape on a second side.
  • the convex and concave shapes are designed to prevent rotation of the first and second bodies when nested together.
  • the hander assembly can have means for coupling the first and second bodies together such as magnets on each of the first and second bodies positioned to provide an attractive force to retain the bodies together when nested together.
  • the subject technology is also directed to a method for storing a heavy item on a closet rod comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of hangers, each hanger having a main body with an upstanding hook for coupling to the closet rod and a magnet coupled to the main body; selecting and coupling at least two hangers together by using magnetic attraction; mounting the heavy item on the coupled at least two hangers; and hooking the coupled at least two hangers on the closet rod.
  • the method may also include the steps of forming a raised area on a first side of each hanger and a complimentary recessed area on a second side of each hanger to facilitate nesting of the hangers and preventing rotation of nested hangers by shaping the raised and complimentary recessed areas.
  • the method may also include the steps of: forming the raised area in a front plate; forming the complimentary recessed area in a back plate; forming a bore in each main body; and coupling the plates together to retain the respective magnet in the bore.

  • the deluxe hanger 100 also defines an upper opening 108.
  • the main body 102 also defines two upper notches 110 for holding securing inner hanger straps as are commonly found on blouses.
  • the deluxe hanger 100 also supports an indicia plate assembly 120.
  • the indicia plate assembly 120 can provide means to allow multiple hangers to nest and/or be inherently attracted together as well as present desirable indicia for branding and/or aesthetic purposes.
  • the plate assembly 120 includes two opposing outer plates 122, 124.
  • the front plate 122 typically includes indicia such as a brand.
  • the plates 122, 124 may be customized, for example, with a person's initials.
  • each plate 122, 124 has a mounting feature 126 in each corner.
  • the mounting features 126 pass through holes 112 in the main body 102 to interlock and retain the plate assembly 120 together and in place.
  • the main body 102 forms complimentary shaped recesses 114 so that the plate assembly 120 can be mounted substantially flush.
  • the plate assembly 120 includes a magnet 128 for providing attractive force to an adjacent hanger.
  • the magnet 128 is retained in a circular frame 130 extending inward from the front plate 120.

  • the magnet 128 and surrounding frame 130 fit in a bore 116 formed by the main body 102.
  • the front plate 120 has a frame that snap fits together with the frame on the back plate 122.
  • the magnets 128 are arranged in a similar manner so that adjacent hangers will attract one another when hung in the same manner.
  • the hangers 100 will be drawn together into a low profile for easy and effective hanging.
  • a plurality of hangers 100 on a closet rod will draw together to minimize the collective space used by the hangers 100.
  • the hangers 100 may nest or spoon together.
  • the back plate 124 includes a recessed area 128 into which the front plate 120 fits so that when together, the main body 102 of each hanger 100 can be flush against the adjacent hanger 100.
  • additional portions of the main body 102 such as a ridge and opposing groove are formed to further facilitate nesting and spooning of adjacent hangers.
  • two or more hangers 100 are coupled together without items thereon in order to provide a more robust sturdy hanger assembly for a heavier item.
  • the deluxe hangers 100 will be easier to manufacture as the strength and rigidity can be bolstered by using two hangers 100 together for holding a heavy item such as a winter coat.
  • the magnetic attraction between the hangers 100 and the complimentary shapes of the recessed area 128 and front plate 120 will hold the hangers 100 together and prevent rotation.
  • the deluxe hangers 100 are rectangular in cross-section as shown rather than circular to further facilitate nesting of the hangers 100 together. It is envisioned that the cross-sectional shape may vary such as square, triangular, I-shaped and the like.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble de cintres comprenant un premier cintre pourvu d'un premier corps présentant un premier crochet vertical pour l'accouplement à une tige et un premier aimant accouplé au premier corps conjointement avec un second cintre pourvu d'un second corps présentant un second crochet vertical destiné à être accouplé à la tige et un second aimant accouplé au second corps, les aimants étant positionnés de telle sorte que les cintres sont maintenus ensemble pour maintenir des articles lourds. Les premier et second corps principaux comprennent des bras opposés s'étendant à partir du crochet vertical pour supporter un vêtement. Chaque corps principal forme une zone surélevée et une zone évidée complémentaire afin de faciliter l'emboîtement des cintres. Les zones surélevées et complémentaires sont de forme sensiblement triangulaire afin d'empêcher un mouvement de rotation lorsque les cintres sont emboîtés.
