Clothes hanger with retractable arms

A clothes hanger having retractable arms comprising:

• a) a first garment support arm having:
• (1) a first inner section having an inward end, an outward end, and a substantially horizontal upper surface and horizontal lower surface,
• (2) a first engagement end integral with the inward end of said first inner section and consisting of:
• (a) a first upper attachment protrusion having an upper surface and a lower surface, where the upper surface is spaced below the horizontal upper surface of said first inner section,
• (b) a first lower attachment protrusion that is in alignment and spaced below the first upper attachment protrusion and having an upper surface and a lower surface, where the lower surface is flush with the horizontal lower surface said first inner section,
• c) a first hook hope vertically located through the center the first upper attachment protrusion,
• (d) a second hook hope vertically located through the center the first lower attachment protrusion in alignment with the first hook bore,
• (e) a first outward extending stop integral with the inward end of said first inner section and having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a front end, where the upper surface is integral with the lower surface of the first upper attachment protrusion, the lower surface extends above the upper surface of the first lower attachment protrusion, and the front end terminates at the center of the first upper and lower attachment protrusions,
• (3) a first elongated section having an inward and integrally attached to the outward end of said first inner section and having a downward tapering slope with a narrow terminating end,
• b) a second garment support arm having:
• (1) a second inner section having a inward end, an outward end, and a substantially horizontal upper surface, and horizontal lower surface,
• (2) a second engagement end integral with the inward end of said second inner section and consisting of:
• (a) a second upper attachment protrusion having an upper surface and a lower surface, where the upper surface is flush with the horizontal upper surface of said second inner section,
• (b) a second lower attachment protrusion that is in alignment and spaced below the second upper attachment protrusion and has an upper surface and a lower surface, where the lower surface, is spaced above the horizontal lower surface of said second inner section,
• (c) a third hook bore vertically located through the center of the second upper attachment protrusion,
• (d) a fourth hook bore vertically located through the center of the second lower attachment protrusion in alignment with the third hook bore,
• (e) a second outward extending stop integral with the inward end of said second inner section and having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a front end, where the upper surface is located below the lower surface of the second upper attachment protrusion, the lower surface is integral with the upper surface of the second attachment protrusion, and the front end terminates at the center of the second upper and lower attachment protrusions in alignment with the front end of the first outward extending stop,
• (3) a second elongated section having an inward end integrally attached to the outward end of said second inner section and having a downward tapering slope with a narrow terminating end, where when the first upper attachment protrusion and the second upper attachment protrusion, and the first lower attachment protrusion and the second lower attachment protrusion rotatably intermesh, the first, second, third and fourth hook bores are in alignment and a spring slot is formed between the lower surface of the first upper attachment protrusion and the upper surface of the second lower attachment protrusion,
• c) a hinge spring having a coil that is dimensioned to fit into the spring slot between the hook bores, where from one and of the coil extends a first horizontal tension rod and from the other end of the coil extends a second horizontal tension rod where the rods rest against said first and second inner sections and biases said first add second garment support arms in their extended position,
• d) a hanger support hook having an upper hook section from where extends downward, a vertical section sized to be rotatably inserted through the first and second hook bores, the spring coil and through the third and fourth hook bores, and
• e) a first push nut inserted into the vertical section at a distance where when the bottom surface of the first push nut rests on the upper surface of the second upper attachment protrusion, a length equal to a length of a push nut protrudes from the lower surface of the first lower attachment protrusion, where into the lower hook protrusion is inserted a second push nut to captively secure the hanger support hook which in turn, rotatably secures and allows the first and second garment support arms to remain in their extended garment holding position or to be placed in their retracted position.

A clothes hanger having retractable arms comprising:

• a) a first garment support arm having a first engagement end further having a pair of hook bores therethrough,
• b) a second garment support arm having a second engagement end further having a pair of hook bores therethrough, where when said first and second engagement ends swivelly intermesh, the hook bores are in alignment and a spring slot is formed,
• c) a hinge spring having a coil that is inserted into the spring slot, where said spring normally biases the first and second garment support arms in an extended garment holding position,
• d) a hanger support hook secured by push nuts that when inserted through the hook bores and the spring slot on said first and second engagement ends, rotatably secures and allows the first and second support arms to remain in their extended position or to be placed in a retracted position and,
• e) means for securing and positioning said hanger support hook on said first and second engagement ends.
