Full Size Hanger

Abstract

A full size hanger is a garment hanger specially designed for large clothing items. A full size hanger is unique in three material ways. First, the length of the hanger is longer than other hangers in order to ensure that large clothes fit better on the hanger. Secondly, in order to prevent the shoulder areas of large garments from sagging and clothes becoming misshaped, the full size hanger has multiple raised ridges located along the top edge of the hanger arms. This allows the full size hanger to be used for a variety of large clothing items in various shapes and sizes because the ridges prevent the clothing from sliding off the hanger. Finally, in order to support the increased weight of large clothing, the structure of the hanger has been modified to add a small ledge running along and over hanging the outer and inner edges of the hanger, so that the structure looks similar to an “I” beam.

Problems solved by technology

Americans though are gaining weight and many are no longer of an “average” size.

Without a full size hanger, people are forced to store clothes in a way which often causes the shoulder area to sag or the clothes to become misshaped which will effect how the clothes fit due to the odd way the clothes must be positioned on a conventional hanger.

There is even a problem of the clothes falling completely off the hanger, which causes a person to have to re-iron items they have previously hung in their closet.

Often conventional hangers can not support such extra weight.

The extra weight can cause the conventional hanger to bend or even break, causing aggravation to the owner.

It appears that the prior art has attempted to make hangers which can accommodate large size clothing, but none which are specifically designed only for large clothing.
