Clothes hanger with quick-folding function

Abstract

Clothes hanger with quick-folding function, which allows the clothes hanger to be opened and folded in a matter of seconds, characterized in that it retains its function regardless of the weight and collar diameter of the garment and the arms do not have to be pushed up manually after folding.

Description

[0001] Currently, the market only offers hangers that don't have a folding function, or hangers that do have a folding function, which usually serves only to save space when stored. Various mechanisms are used, such as single- or double-sided folding versions, so that the hanger takes up less space. Additional features are also available, such as non-slip coatings, hook designs, expandable hangers, etc. There are also versions specifically designed for travel and that fit compactly into a suitcase.

[0002] However, there are already coat hangers with a folding function, which are designed to make hanging and taking down garments easier. Until now, the arms of the hanger have to be manually pushed up by hand after passing the hanger through the collar until a corresponding mechanism holds the arms up. These designs are, of course, very space-saving when folded. There are even versions where the hanger unfolds itself, although the functionality of the hanger has so far depended on the weight of the garment.

[0003] This works with the help of a spring, which quickly reaches its limits.

[0004] In addition, the hangers have the function of hanging up the garment within seconds by quickly folding the hanger.

[0005] However, with these types of folding clothes hangers, it is not possible to hang up and put on items of clothing, regardless of their weight, within seconds without having to lift the arms of the hanger by hand until they finally click into place.

[0006] This problem can be solved by using various joints within a clothes hanger. With the help of these joints and an extended hanger, it is now possible to hang up and take down items of clothing, regardless of their weight, within seconds. The advantage is easier handling, as you no longer have to fold up the arms of the hanger inside the garment by hand. Unlike conventional hangers, the hanger with the quick-fold function also has the advantage that it fits through any collar. In addition, it has all the advantages that other hangers offer. This includes the advantage that the hanger with the quick-fold function can be stored very space-savingly, but above all, the function of folding up inside the collar of the garment, regardless of the weight of the garment. Furthermore, by folding the hanger in, the garment can be hung up immediately.Of course, this also works for garments whose collars are so tight that a conventional clothes hanger would not fit through. The embodiment

[0007] An example of implementation is shown using the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 explains. They show: • Fig. 1 the opened or unfolded coat hanger, • Fig. 2 the closed or folded coat hanger. • Fig. 3 the two supports including recesses and the hinge with 3 wings on the top • Fig. 4 hinges with 3 wings from the side, attached to the two supports and to the extension of the hanger, with the middle wing of the hinge

[0008] The figures show the coat hanger with quick-folding function.

[0009] The extension of the hanger 2 is responsible for folding the hanger and runs through the vertical hole in the central middle piece 3. By gently pressing on the hanger 1, the extension of the hanger 2 folds the supports 6 in, causing the entire hanger to fold up. This also means that the arms of the coat hanger 4 fold down until they hang vertically next to each other. The recess 7 ensures that the coat hanger can fold up completely. This recess is there to accommodate the extension of the hanger 2 in one of the arms of the coat hanger 4. This allows the coat hanger to be folded up completely, so that the two supports 6 can lie next to each other when folded up. The hinge with 3 wings 8 plays a central role here; it connects the two supports 6 and is also attached to the extension of the hanger.

[0010] However, folding the hanger is only possible using the hinges 5. When folded, the extension of the hanger 2 sinks completely into the central middle section 3. Furthermore, the arms of the hanger 4 and the supports are in a vertical position when folded. To unfold the hanger again within a garment, all that is required is a gentle pull on the hanger 1, which pulls the supports 6 up via the extension of the hanger 2 until they click into place. As soon as this happens, the hanger is fully unfolded and the garment is hung up.

[0011] This invention combines ease of use and application for almost all upper body garments, regardless of collar diameter or weight.
