Abstract
A garment hanger comprising spaced, curved divider members, each having a curved garment supporting surface and defining garment receiving spaces, and a pivotable, resiliently biased flap in each space for retaining a garment therein by the weight of the garment.
Claims9
A garment hanger construction, comprising:
- a pair of spaced-apart divider members having opposed substantially upright surfaces defining a downwardly opening garment-receiving space therebetween, at least one of said surfaces being concave in the vertical direction;
- an elongated flap pivotally mounted at one end thereof on the other of said surfaces close to the lower end thereof, said flap extending across said garment-receiving space and toward said concave surface so that the opposite end of said flap is normally disposed close to said concave surface adjacent to the lower end thereof, said flap being pivotable upwardly in said garment-receiving space so that the spacing between said opposite end of said flap and said concave surface progressively increases in an upward direction as said flap is pivoted upwardly in said space.
A garment hanger, comprising at least a pair of similarly shaped dividers disposed in fixed parallel spaced-apart relation to one another, said dividers having opposed upright surfaces defining a downwardly opening garment-receiving space therebetween, one of said surfaces being concave and the other of said surfaces being correspondingly convex and substantially parallel with said concave surface, a pivotable garment engaging flap extending between each pair of dividers, means for holding said dividers in said spaced-apart relation, each of said dividers having a said concave surface and a said convex surface on opposite sides thereof, said dividers being disposed so that said concave surfaces on all of said dividers face in the same direction and said convex surfaces on all of said dividers face in the opposite direction, each flap being pivotally mounted on the convex surface of its associated pair of dividers close to the lower end thereof and extending across the space between its associated pair of dividers toward the concave surface of its associated pair of dividers so that the opposite end of said flap is normally disposed close to said concave surface at a location close to the lower end thereof to engage and support a garment against the concave surface of its associated pair of dividers, said flap being pivotable upwardly in said garment-receiving space so that the spacing between said opposite end of said flap and said concave surface progressively increases in an upward direction as said flap is pivoted upwardly in said space.
