US 6,712,228 B2 · Mountable hanger apparatus and kit of parts therefore

Abstract

Mountable hanger apparatus and a kit of parts therefore for affixing preferably to door hinges. The hanger apparatus comprises an elongated member having top, intermediate, and bottom segments, all of which are longitudinally interconnectable along the axis of the elongated member. Each intermediate segment has end portions each directly interconnectable both rotatably and longitudinally with an end portion of a remaining segment. Preferably, each segment includes a tubular member having a passageway extending therethrough. All but the bottom end segment has one end portion swaged to a reduced diameter for insertion into an unswaged end portion of another tubular member. Resultantly, each intermediate segment can swivel or rotate independent of the top and bottom end segments. Support arms are fixedly attachable to each of the segments of the elongated member, and mounting brackets are fixedly attachable to the top and bottom end segments.

Dependent claims

Mountable hanger apparatus comprising:

an elongated member having a longitudinal axis, a first end segment, an intermediate segment, and a second end segment, all of said segments being separate parts and longitudinally interconnectable along said longitudinal axis, said intermediate segment having first and second end portions each directly interconnectable both rotatably and longitudinally along said longitudinal axis with an end portion of a remaining one of said segments without any other parts interconnecting said segments,
a support arm fixedly attachable to said intermediate segment and radially extendable from said longitudinal axis,
a first mounting bracket attachable to said first end segment and having a portion fixable to at least one of a wall, door, frame and hinge, and
a second mounting bracket attachable to said second end segment and having a portion fixable to at least one of a wall, door, frame, and hinge, whereby said intermediate segment and said support arm are rotatable about said longitudinal axis of said elongated member independent of said end segments when each of said end segments is attached to the at least one of a wall, door, frame and hinge.
