Abstract
A clothes hanger in which each hanger arm is adjustable in length by means of an extender arm mounted for and operated by a mechanical system so that the extender arms move simultaneously either inward or outward by the same distance. The mechanical system may be hand operated or driven by an electric motor.
Claims9
An adjustable hanger comprising;
- a pair of support arms extending from and attached to a junction area, the support arms terminating in a free end;
- a pair of extender arms each freely slidably mounted proximate the free end of one of the support arms for free sliding translational movement of the extender arm lengthwise of the respective support arms;
- a drive mechanism operable from the junction area and connected to each of the extender arms for simultaneously and equally translating the arms either inwardly or outwardly with respect to the respective support arm;
- means for applying power and motion to the drive mechanism at the junction area to move said arms inwardly and outwardly;
- a transfer mechanism for dividing the drive power and motion into two separate drive paths and for transferring the drive power and motion by means of the two separate drive paths from said junction area to an area near each extender arm;
- a conversion mechanism for converting the drive power and motion near each extender arm to translational movement of the extender arm.
