AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is an improved garment hanger with arms that extend opposite each other from a central region. A crossbar connects the far ends of each arm. The central region has an opening with a web of material that depicts an image across the opening. The hanger has a flat profile and the arms can curve gently towards each other. The central region should be at least about 0.1 inch thick. The hanger can be covered with flocking or other material to provide additional depictions. The invention has technical effects for improved hanger design and fabrication.

Problems solved by technology

Higher end hangers are generally made from more expensive materials or have more complicated shapes and features.
However, the different types of hangers have been relatively few in number and product differentiation and design creativity has been limited.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]A garment hanger 100 is shown generally in FIG. 1. Hanger 100 includes a central region 110 and a pair of arms 121 and 122 extending in opposite directions from central region 110. A crossbar 130 connects an end 121a of arm 121 and an end 122a of arm 122. A pair of notches 123 are provided in arms 121 and 122 for hanging garment straps. In other embodiments of the invention, crossbar 130 can be omitted and different commonly used hanger shapes can be employed.

[0017]A neck 140 is located at the top of central region 110. A hook 145 extends upward from neck 140. Hook 145 can be fixed or can be assembled to pivot about neck 140. In other embodiments of the invention, the hook can be integrally formed from the central region as a continuous piece of plastic.

[0018]Central region 110 defines a display area 150, defined by a virtual boundary 151. A web of material 155 extends across display area 150, as a combination of preferably the same material and preferably of the same thicknes...

Abstract

A garment hanger having a central region defining a boundary of an opening through the thickness of the hanger. A web of material extends across the opening, between contact points with the boundary to depict an image formed of the web of material across the opening. Flocking can be applied to the hanger.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates generally to garment hangers and more particularly to a garment hanger displaying an image.[0002]Wire hangers are commonly made with a simple loop of wire in a flattened triangular shape that continues into a hook at the upper end. Wooden hangers generally comprise a flat or gently curved piece of wood cut in a triangular or chevron shape and a hook, usually of metal, protruding from the top, above a central region of the hanger, with arms extending in both directions from the central region. Some wooden hangers have a crossbar from tip to tip of the arms to form a triangle. This crossbar is often used to hand pants designed to hang pants. Other hangers, which mostly mimic the shape of either a wire or wooden hanger are made of plastic.[0003]Plastic hangers are typically made by injection molding. As used herein, the term plastic will refer to the commonly used meaning of plastic for use in garment hangers, i.e., various polymer...
