Abstract
A multiple garment support has a single handle and at least two generally triangular clothes hanger frames of wire construction; the two frames which define two planes and the handle are all pivotable relative to each other about a single axis at a hinge junction situated between the tops of the hanger frames and the bottom of the handle. In upright orientation of this device, the bottoms of the frames are horizontal rods that remain parallel to each other and to said pivot axis when either frame is pivoted relative to the other or to the handle; the top edges of the two frames remain a fixed distance apart while the bottom edges are pivotable away from each other.
Claims7
A garment support device comprising generally similar first and second generally triangular-shaped hangers which are each formed of a strand of wire and which, when the device is upright, define generally parallel and vertical planes, each hanger having one side as a generally horizontal bottom edge and opposite this edge a top neck where the remaining two sides of the triangle coverge, coupling means extending laterally between and separating said necks a predetermined distance and permanently joining said necks in a pivotal relationship about a pivot axis generally parallel to said bottom edges, and a handle having a top part formed as a hook and a bottom part that is engaged to said coupling means and is pivotal about said pivot axis, said necks and said couling means establishing, when said device is upright, a predetermined elevation with said handle being substantially totally above said elevation.
A garment bag in combination with a garment support device, the bag having top, bottom, and sides, with an aperature in the top, the support device comprising generally similar first and second generally triangular-shaped hangers which are each formed of a strand of wire and which, when the device is upright, define generally parallel and vertical planes, each hanger having one side as a generally horiozontal bottom edge and opposite this edge a top neck where the remaining two sides of the triangle converge, coupling means extending laterally between and separating said necks a predetermined distance and permanently joining said necks in a pivotal relationship about a pivot axis generally parallel to said bottom edges, and a handle having a top part formed as a hook and a bottom part that is engaged to said coupling means and is pivotal about said pivot axis, said necks and said coupling means establishing, when said device is upright, a predetermined elevation with said handle being substantially totally above said elevation, said support device being positionable within said bag with the necks and coupling means of the hangers adjacent said top of the bag and the bottom edges of the hangers adjacent the bottom of the bag, and the handle of the device extending through said aperture outward of said bag.
