Hanging separator to be used for separating articles of clothing hanging in a clothes closet, and a plurality of hanging separators forming a system for separating articles of clothing hanging in a clothes closet

Abstract

A clothing separator is disclosed that can be readily hung upon a horizontally oriented clothing bar mounted within a clothes closet for separating articles of clothing hanging upon the clothing bar within the closet, or to be hung upon the clothing bar within the closet, or to be removed from the clothing bar of the closet, by facilitating the removal or insertion of the article of clothing from the clothing closet. A separator can be interposed between a pair of adjacent articles of clothing, or conversely, a single article of clothing can be interposed between a pair of adjacent separators. Furthermore, a multiplicity of separators can effectively define a separator system within the closet wherein a separator is interposed between each pair of adjacent articles of clothing, or conversely, each article of clothing is accommodated within a separate compartment or space defined between adjacent pairs of separators. Alternatively, several articles of clothing, that is, a small group of articles of clothing, can be interposed between adjacent hanging separators.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to clothing accessories, and more particularly to a clothing separator that can be readily hung upon a horizontally oriented clothing bar mounted within a clothes closet for separating articles of clothing hanging upon the clothing bar within the closet, or to be hung upon the clothing bar within the closet, or to be removed from the clothing bar of the closet. The separator effectively facilitates the ease in which articles of clothing may be removed from the clothing bar and from the closet, or deposited onto the clothing bar and into the closet, when it is desired to remove an article of clothing from the closet, or to insert an article of clothing into the closet. In this manner, the article of clothing can be readily removed from or hung upon the clothing bar of the closet with relative ease and without disturbing or encountering other articles of clothing within the closet which would otherwise inhibit the rem...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005]The present invention is directed toward a new and improved clothing separator that is to be hung upon the horizontally oriented clothing bar of a clothes closet and interposed between two individual articles of clothing hanging upon the clothing bar. The separator is preferably fabricated from a suitable thermoplastic material, such as, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PETE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), or a polycarbonate (PC), such that the sides or major surfaces of the separator, disposed toward, facing, and in engagement with the articles of clothing disposed immediately adjacent to both sides or major surfaces of the separator, will effectively present relatively smooth and slippery surfaces toward the articles of clothing. Accordingly, when it is desired to remove a particular article of clothing from the closet, or to insert a particular article of clothing into the closet, the article of clothing will effectively move or slide along one of the smooth and slippery surfaces of the separator so as to be readily and easily removed from or hung upon the clothing bar of the closet with relative ease and without disturbing or encountering other articles of clothing within the closet which would otherwise inhibit the removal or insertion of the clothing article from or onto the clothing bar of the closet.

[0006]It is also envisioned that a plurality of separators be interposed between other individual articles of clothing such that each pair of separators, disposed immediately adjacent to each other, effectively define a pocket, recess, slot, or compartment within which a particular article of clothing can be readily and easily accommodated and inserted into, or removed from, the overall clothing array disposed within t

Problems solved by technology

This disposition of the individual articles of clothing makes it difficult to either remove a particular article of clothing from the array of clothing disposed within the closet, or conversely, to insert a particular article of clothing into the closet and between two articles of clothing already hanging upon the clothing bar within the closet.
