Abstract
Various embodiments of the invention disclose a garment hanging system that incorporates a garment drying system. The garment hanging system features a fan mechanism that generates an air stream that dries garments as they are suspended from the garments hanging system. The garment hanging system features a duct that is configured such that the collar portions of garments suspended from the garment hanging system may be sealed to the duct in order to receive air propelled by the fan mechanism of the garment hanging system.
Claims17
A garment hanger system incorporating a drying system, comprising:
- a hook device, said hook device configured to attach to said garment hanger system incorporating drying system to a bar or rail,
- a duct body, said duct body serving as a central structure for said garment hanger system incorporating a drying system, attached to said hook device, and being shaped as a hollow cylinder such that the exterior surface of said duct body may be attached to the collar of garments to create a seal between said duct body and said collar of garments,
- said duct body further featuring a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the duct body serving as an air intake and the distal end of said duct body serving as an air exhaust,
- a fan system, said fan system being located within the hollow portion of said duct body and configured to blow air from the proximal end and out of the distal end of said duct body into garments attached to said duct body, and
- two shoulder props, said shoulder props being attached to said duct body, extending laterally outwards from said duct body in order to support the shoulder portions of garments, and featuring a plurality of openings that allow the passage of air onto the shoulder portions of garments.

A garment hanger system incorporating a drying system, comprising:
- a hook device, said hook device configured to re-attachably connect to said garment hanger system incorporating drying system to a bar or rail,
- a duct body, said duct body serving as a central structure for said garment hanger system incorporating a drying system, attached to said hook device, and being shaped as a hollow elliptical cylinder such that the exterior surface of said duct body may be attached to the collar of garments to create a seal between said duct body and said collar of garments,
- said duct body further featuring a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the duct body serving as an air intake and the distal end of said duct body serving as an air exhaust,
- a fan system, said fan system being located within the hollow portion of said duct body and configured to blow air from the proximal end and out of the distal end of said duct body into garments attached to said duct body, and
- two shoulder props, said shoulder props being horizontally opposed and re-attachably connected to said duct body, extending laterally outwards from said duct body in order to support the shoulder portions of garments, and featuring a plurality of openings that allow the passage of air onto the shoulder portions of garments.
