Abstract
A novel garment hanger with an under-notch is provided. The hanger has a hook and an elongated hanger body connected to the hook. The hanger body has a top surface for supporting a garment and an undersurface opposite the top surface. The hanger body has a retaining structure for retaining a portion of the garment. The retaining structure has a cantilever that extends under the undersurface of the hanger body. An under-notch is defined between the undersurface of the hanger body and the cantilever. A portion of the garment, such as a strap of the garment, is insertable into the under-notch to be positively retained in the under-notch.
Claims8
A garment hanger comprising:
- an elongated hanger body comprising a middle portion and a pair of arms extending oppositely from the middle portion,
- at least one of the hanger arms comprising:
- a top flange having a top surface for supporting a garment,
- a bottom flange opposite the top flange, wherein the bottom flange has a bottom surface, and
- a web provided between the top flange and the bottom flange, wherein the web has an undersurface;
- a hook connected to the middle portion;
- a first cantilever extending under the undersurface of the hanger body, the first cantilever comprising a fixed end connected to a hanger arm, the first cantilever comprising a free end opposite the fixed end, wherein the free end of the first cantilever is the terminal end that is the farthest from the fixed end, wherein the first cantilever has a bottom surface and the bottom surface of the first cantilever is continuous and flush with the bottom surface of the bottom flange;
- an under-notch formed between the undersurface of the hanger body and the first cantilever, wherein a portion of the garment is insertable into the under-notch;
- and
- a second cantilever,
- wherein the second cantilever is connected to the free end of the first cantilever and extends toward the fixed end of the first cantilever,
- wherein the second cantilever comprises a free end proximal to the fixed end of the first cantilever,
- wherein the second cantilever is provided between the first cantilever and the undersurface of the hanger body,
- wherein the free end of the second cantilever faces an inner side surface of the hanger body to define a second entrance with the inner side surface, wherein the inner side surface is continuous with the undersurface of the hanger body,
- wherein the second cantilever is distanced from the first cantilever to define a space therebetween, and
- wherein the portion of the garment is insertable into the space between the first cantilever and the second cantilever, after passing through the second entrance.
