Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a stackable clothes hanger with a simplified configuration that allows multiple hangers to be stacked on top of each other. This simplification improves productivity and reduces storage and transportation costs. The hanger has a hanging hook and a shoulder supporting part with a hollow penetration and a receiving space for inserting the shoulder supporting part of another hanger. The hanger also has upholding bases and a trouser hanging bar for keeping trousers or slacks hanged. The invention allows for easy stacking and reduces the volume of the hangers when stacked, making them convenient for storage and transportation."

Problems solved by technology

However, in case where a plurality of above said clothes hangers are to be placed one on top of another for storage, there is no stackable part that can be put and offset one upon another in shoulder supporting part 12, or in neck part 13, or in hanging hook 11, so the total volume is made too big, and storage area for keeping them is to be so large that arrangement of such clothes hangers in good shape and order is impossible.
Furthermore, in case of transportation of such clothes hangers, transportation cost thereof increases because of huge bulkiness of volume, which causes another problem of the traditional clothes hanger.
However, in order that hanging portion 20 should be received within the receiving chamber 14, a complicated structure is required for the rotary portion 21 formed at lower part of hanging portion 20 to rotate within the receiving chamber 21, and accordingly increased production cost of such a clothes hanger follows as a problem.
Furthermore, in case where a plurality of clothes hangers are to be stacked one on top of another, the portion where total volume is actually reduced corresponds only to the height where the hanging portion 20 of clothes hanger is formed and the total volume cannot be reduced any more, so there was a limitation for substantial object of reducing volume to be accomplished.

Abstract

This invention relates to a stackable clothes hanger comprising a hanging hook and a shoulder supporting part formed extendedly with inclination to right and left respectively from one end of said hanging hook for upholding the shoulder part of an upper garment, wherein the central part of said shoulder supporting part is formed with a hollow penetrating part as vertical penetration having a dimension that is equal to or larger than the size to have inserted a hanging hook of the same kind of clothes hanger and the inner plane of said shoulder supporting is formed with a receiving space capable of accepting at least a portion of the shoulder supporting part of the same kind of clothes hanger. With the configuration as such, structure for enabling a plurality of the clothes hangers to be stacked one over another is simplified so that productivity thereof might be enhanced and volume reducing effect thereof might be maximum when a plurality of such clothes hangers are stacked.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001]The present invention relates generally to a stackable clothes hanger, and more particularly to a stackable clothes hanger having a configuration whereby a plurality of these clothes hangers can be stacked one on top of another so that storage and transportation thereof can be made easy.BACKGROUND ART [0002]A conventional clothes hanger comprises, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a shoulder supporting part 12 for upholding shoulder part of an upper garment, a neck part 13 that is formed in the middle of said shoulder supporting part 12, and a hanging hook 11 that is attached at center of said neck part 13 and used for hanging clothes.[0003]However, in case where a plurality of above said clothes hangers are to be placed one on top of another for storage, there is no stackable part that can be put and offset one upon another in shoulder supporting part 12, or in neck part 13, or in hanging hook 11, so the total volume is made too big, and storage area for keeping them ...
