Wall & rod multiple garment hanger

Abstract

An easily mounted and removable closet space making system where the first of two components is designed to be instantly install against the back wall of a clothes closet between the shelve and the shelve supporting member. This component has a hinge that supports a single garment arm used to hang multiple clothes hangers on. After installing 1 or 2 of these components, the clothes that were hanging on the clothes rod can now be transferred to the back wall of the closet, freeing up most or all of the clothes rod for the second component. The second component hooks onto the clothes rod and has a double hinge that supports two garment arms and is on a swivel so either side can face forward. With both components, gravity drops the arm down in the storage position. To select a garment, simply slide your hand in behind the garment in front of the garment you want and lift the arm. This will create ample space to access the garment you are after. Pushing the clothes to the back wall and hanging the remaining clothes on the double garment hook will completely transform the closet. All the garments will now cascade down, one in front of another so all garments will be visible all at once. The shelve above will be easily accessible and therefore much more useful. The entire floor will be visible and accessible and most importantly, you can virtually double the storage in a closet.

Problems solved by technology

No matter how many closets there are in any given home or apartment, there never seems to be enough room for storage.

Closets, therefore, become overcrowded, cluttered and messy making it difficult to keep your clothes neat and organized.

It becomes increasingly difficult to find what you are looking for and many garments can actually be overlooked and essentially lost for days, weeks and even years.

A congested closet forms a wall of clothing that creates a physical and visual obstruction that confronts you as you open the closet door.

This makes it extremely difficult to reach over this obstruction of clothing to get to the items stored on the shelve found above the rod.

Additionally, the obstruction of clothes makes it nearly impossible to see, never-mind reach all the items, usually shoes stored on the floor.

Additionally, cramped and cluttered closets make it very difficult to find individual garments.

Obviously, people who rent do not have this option.

There are hundreds of closet organizer systems on the market, but none of the systems instantly increase useable space in the closet as well as to organize garments.
