Abstract
A hanger spacer tape device having a flexible elongated body and a plurality of bumps or protrusions formed on one side thereof. The hanger spacer tape device allows hangers to be spaced at intervals and stay aligned to provide effective and efficient organization of hangers and can be coiled onto itself. The hanger spacer tape device can also include an adhesive and parallel troughs formed along a length of the hanger spacer tape device.
Claims7
A hanger spacing device for keeping hangers spaced at regular intervals comprising:
- a flexible elongated main body having a length and a width, said flexible elongated main body having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein said flexible elongated main body is flexible both lengthwise and widthwise;
- a plurality of bumps comprising adjacent pairs of bumps formed on said top surface of said flexible elongated main body, wherein said bumps are spaced apart at regular intervals, wherein each bump has a rounded top and at least one wall extending downwardly from said rounded top and upwardly from said top surface of said flexible elongated main body;
- hanger spaces formed between each adjacent pair of bumps, wherein a hanger is configured to be placed in each hanger space respectively;
- wherein the hanger spacing device is configured to be mounted to a rod;
- and
- wherein the elongated main body is configured to move between a mounting position wherein the main body is configured to become arcuate in shape to conform to an upper surface of the rod and a storage position wherein the main body is configured to be coiled onto itself along the length of the main body in a multilayered overlapping manner.
