Arrangement for hanging brassieres

A hanging arrangement, comprising:

• a hanger which includes
• two elongated arm members,
• a connecting member which extends between said arm members and connects said arm members with each other, said connecting member extending transversely to the directions of elongation of said arm members,
• a hook member extending from one of said arm members and terminating at a free end, said arm members inclining away from said hook member, and
• releasable holding means extending from each of said arm members for releasably holding shoulder straps of a brassiere on said arm members against relative movement,
• said hook member and interconnecting members and one of said arm members being configured and arranged relative to each other for enabling insertion of a support element through a gap between said free end and said one arm member to a space immediately adjacent to said gap, said space being defined by an inwardly-facing contour of said hook and connecting member, a portion of said inwardly-facing contour of said hook member facing said space and being arranged for balancing the hanger when resting on the support element, said portion of said inwardly-facing contour of said hook member lying substantially within the confines of a triangle which is constituted by three sides that extend between three points, two of said points being respectively at locations where said releasable holding means extends from each of said arm members, said arm members and a third of said points being at an intersection of lines which extend through said arm members in the direction of elongation of said arm members.
