Abstract
An adjustable garment hanger (100) is disclosed having movable arms (103, 107) which move laterally from a medial portion (105). The movable arms move as a result of engagement between a pair of linkage tongues (104, 106) and a medially positioned adjustment mechanism. The linkage tongues are positioned inside a U shaped guiding channel (113) positioned parallel to a pair of supporting arms extending from the medial portion of the garment hanger.
Claims21
A garment hanger comprising:
- a medial portion;
- first and second supporting arms extending in opposite directions from said medial portion;
- each supporting arm having a recess channel extending along the corresponding supporting arm;
- first and second movable arms configured to travel along said first and second supporting arms for defining an adjustable garment supporting width;
- and
- first and second linkage tongues each having a first end connected to one of said movable arms;
- said linkage tongues are further positioned in the recess channels along said first and second supporting arms and coupled to a transfer mechanism located proximate to said medial portion for reciprocal adjustment of said movable arms;
- and each of said first and second linkage tongues having a second end exposed along the open side of one of said recess channels.
