Portable clothes hanging assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing clothes hanging devices are inadequate for spaces without closets, as they lack a practical and organized solution for hanging clothes in a compact and portable manner.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted clothes hanging device featuring a rotatable hanging wheel with suspended hanger supports that can receive multiple clothes hangers, allowing for orderly hanging of clothes without a closet, and is designed for portability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a wall-mounted device with rotatable hanging wheel is used, then clothes can be hung in an organized manner without a closet, but the device complexity increases compared to simple hanging solutions
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional modules: a wall mount bracket, a rotatable hanging wheel, multiple hanger supports, and individual clothes hangers. Each component performs a specific function and can be independently assembled or adjusted, resolving the complexity issue by making the system modular rather than monolithic.
Solution Approach 2:
The hanging wheel serves multiple functions: it provides rotational movement for accessing clothes, supports multiple hanger supports simultaneously, and can be mounted on various wall surfaces. The hanger supports can accommodate different types of clothes hangers, making the device versatile for various clothing storage needs without requiring multiple separate devices.
2Area of stationary object
If multiple hanger supports are suspended from a rotatable wheel, then space utilization improves, but the weight of the device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device transitions from two-dimensional wall mounting to three-dimensional space utilization by incorporating a rotatable wheel that extends outward from the wall. This allows clothes to be stored in a radial pattern around the wheel, effectively using the third dimension (depth from the wall) to maximize storage capacity within a compact footprint.
Solution Approach 2:
The hanger supports are designed as thin, lightweight structures that suspend from the wheel rather than rigid, heavy frameworks. This minimizes the weight added to the system while maintaining sufficient structural integrity to support clothes, resolving the contradiction between maximizing storage area and minimizing device weight.
3Ease of operation
If hanger supports are suspended from a rotatable wheel, then accessibility of clothes improves, but the reliability of the suspension system decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The hanging wheel is designed to rotate freely while hanger supports are suspended from it, creating a dynamic system where clothes can be accessed by rotating the wheel to different positions. This rotational capability significantly improves accessibility compared to fixed mounting, while the suspension design ensures the wheel remains stable and reliable during rotation through proper bearing or pivot mechanisms.

AI summary
A portable clothes hanging assembly includes a plurality of brackets attached together to define a wall mount that is attachable to a wall of a room in a building and a hanger extending away from the wall mount. A hanging wheel is rotatably attached to the hanger such that the hanging wheel has a vertical rotational axis. A plurality of hanger supports is provided and each of the hanger supports is suspendable from the hanging wheel. Each of the hanger supports has a plurality of receivers thereby facilitating each of the receivers to receive a respective one of a plurality of clothes hangers. In this way the hanging wheel facilitates the clothes hangers to hang clothes in the absence of a closet.
