Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional clothes hangers are difficult to use with small-collar clothes, requiring complex maneuvers and risking tearage, and existing foldable hangers with movable arms are not suitable for quick and convenient hanging and removal.
Innovation Solution
A quick-to-use clothes hanger with movable arms, a releasing assembly, and a returning component, featuring a simple structure, allowing one-handed operation to pass through small collars and lock the arms for support.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional clothes hangers are used, then the structure is simple, but it is difficult to pass through small collars and takes a long time to hang clothes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the hanger arms movable rather than fixed. The arms can be folded inward to a small size for easily passing through small collars, and then unfolded to a larger size to provide adequate support for the clothes. This dynamic transformation allows the hanger to adapt its shape based on operational needs, resolving the contradiction between ease of passing through collars and hanging speed.
2Ease of operation
If foldable clothes hangers with movable arms are used, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases and cannot be operated with one hand
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the self-service principle through the automatic locking mechanism. When the movable arms are unfolded, they automatically lock into position without requiring manual intervention. This self-locking feature eliminates the need for complex manual locking operations, allowing one-handed operation while maintaining simple structure. The system serves itself by automatically securing the arms in the correct position.
3Productivity
If traditional clothes hangers are used, then the structure is simple, but it is difficult to remove clothes quickly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the self-service principle through the automatic unlocking mechanism. When the hanger is tilted or the arms are pushed inward, the locking mechanism automatically unlocks and the arms fold inward, enabling quick removal of clothes without manual manipulation of locks or clips. This automatic response to simple user actions dramatically increases removal speed while maintaining ease of operation.
4Reliability
If traditional clothes hangers are used, then the structure is simple, but there is a risk of tearing the clothing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by using movable arms that can be folded to a minimal size when passing through collars. This dynamic folding capability allows the hanger to pass through tight spaces without exerting excessive force on the collar, thereby reducing the risk of tearing delicate or small-collar clothing while maintaining adequate support structure when unfolded.

AI summary
The present invention relates to the technical field of clothes hangers, and specifically relates to a quick clothes hanger suitable for narrow collars. The quick clothes hanger comprises a handheld end, at least one movable arm, a release assembly, and a positional reset piece; the movable arm is installed on the handheld end; the release assembly is installed on the handheld end and jointly moves with the movable arm, and is used for driving the movable arm to fold towards to the handheld end, so as to pass through a narrow collar, or to drive the movable arm to open out away from the handheld end and lock the movable arm, so as to provide support for clothing; and the positional reset piece is mounted on the handheld end and connected to the movable arm and/or the release assembly. The device has a simple structure and a sensible design; during use, the handheld end is held in one hand, and the release assembly is pressed, so that the release assembly and the movable arm jointly move, and the movable arm is driven to fold to quickly pass through a narrow collar; after pressing stops, the movable arm is positionally reset and opens up under the action of the positional reset piece, and the movable arm is engaged via the release assembly to hang clothing, and thereby rapid hanging of narrow-collar clothing is achieved.
