Benefits of technology

[0010]Another object of the invention is to provide a hat hanging device that allows for easy access to remove and replace the hats being hung.
[0011]Another object of the invention is to provide a hat hanging device that allows the user to easily see an entire hat and make a hat selection decision before removing it from the hanger.

Problems solved by technology

However, there are deficiencies in the prior technology.
Firstly, the straight configuration of the hanging apparatus makes it difficult to easily have access to a specific hat as it is nested in with the rest of the hanging hats.
Secondly, because there is very little room to actually move the hats while they are hanging on the hanger assembly, it is difficult to view the hats before selecting one to remove and wear.

Abstract

A hat hanging device with a central vertically elongate member, a left and a right hat hanger support member, a plurality of hat retaining assemblies, a hanger bar attachment member and a hanger bar attachment retaining clip. The hanger bar attachment member connects to the central member and is held in place by the retaining clip. The hanger support members are each attached to the right and left side of the central elongate member. The hanger support members slope downward from the central elongate member at approximately a thirty degree angle. The hat retaining assemblies each include a post topped by a spherical member. A hat bill retaining spring clip is attached to the bottom of each post. The spherical members are rotatably retained by apertures located in the side wall of the hanger support members.
