Abstract
A cap suspension apparatus (20) includes an elongated support member (22) and a plurality of cap engagement assemblies (24). The support member (22) is arranged to be releasably interconnected in series with another support member of similar construction. Each of the cap engagement assemblies (24) is rotatably borne by the support member (22) and operable to slidably receive a button (74) or other respective part of a cap (76) thereby supporting the cap (76) in an adjustable orientation relative to the support member (22).
Claims22
A clothing suspension apparatus for supporting a cap having a button affixed on a crown thereof, comprising:
- a support member having a longitudinal axis and opposite first and second ends, and wherein the first end is a male end and the second end is a female end, and wherein a plurality of support members may be connected in substantially coaxial alignment by releasably interconnecting the first end of one support member to the second end of an adjoining support member;
- and
- a plurality of cap engagement assemblies disposed in predetermined spaced relation substantially along the longitudinal axis of the support member, and wherein each of the cap engagement assemblies include a pair of legs which are spaced apart to define a channel which slidably receives the button of a cap therebetween for supporting the cap, the cap engagement assembly being rotatable with respect to the support member such that the cap may be supported in a plurality of angular orientations relative to the support member.
A clothing suspension apparatus for supporting a cap having a button affixed on a crown thereof, comprising:
- (a) a support member elongated along an axis and having first and second ends in opposition along the axis, the first end being a male end and the second end being a corresponding female end such that a plurality of cap suspension apparatuses of like construction may be connected by engaging the first end of one support member to the second end of another in series along the axis of the elongated support member;
- and
- (b) a plurality of cap engagement assemblies fastened on the support member in predetermined spaced relation apart along the axis of the support member, each of the cap engagement assemblies including a pair of legs which are spaced apart to define a channel which slidably receives the button of the cap therebetween for supporting the cap.
A clothing suspension apparatus for supporting a cap having a button affixed on a crown thereof, comprising:
- (a) a support member having opposite first and second ends, and wherein a plurality of support members may be oriented in substantially coaxial alignment by substantially aligning the first end of one support member with the second end of an adjoining support member;
- and
- (b) at least one cap engagement assembly borne by the support member and including an attachment member which is disposed in juxtaposed relation relative to the support member and which has a pair of legs which extend outwardly therefrom and which are spaced apart to define a channel which slidably receives the button of the cap therebetween for supporting the cap, and wherein the cap engagement assembly is rotatable relative to the support member such that the cap may be supported in a plurality of angular orientations relative to the support member.
A clothing suspension apparatus for supporting a cap which is folded inwardly in a predetermined manner, comprising:
- a support member;
- and
- a cap engagement assembly rotatably borne on the support member and including a main body which has opposite first and second ends, and wherein a pair of dependent legs are mounted on the first and second ends of the main body and are individually disposed in substantially similar angular relationships relative thereto, each pair of dependent legs being spaced apart to define respective channels therebetween, and wherein the respective channels are substantially coaxially aligned and are operable to slidably engage the folded portion of the cap for supporting the cap thereof.
