A mechanism for hanging garments and other items which comprises a plurality of substantially horizontally disposed rods which define between them slots for removably receiving clothing articles and the like. Each slot has extending therefrom a plurality of fibers which are connected to the rod to extend at an upward inclination and are arcuately moveable relative thereto. When garments or other articles are moved horizontally into slots the fibers resiliently curve downwardly to clamp the garments or other articles against the opposite side of the slot from which they extend in a cam-like fashion. The mechanism may include a plurality of slots arranged in a line or at different levels so that garments in the upper level hang between garments in the lower level. A plurality of mechanisms may be disposed parallel in arrays or mounted on rotatable stands.
A mechanism for removably hanging articles which comprises a pair of substantially horizontally disposed rods which define between them a slot for removably receiving an article for being hung from the mechanism, a plurality of elements comprising upwardly inclined fibers which are supported by at least one of said rods and which are deflectable in reaction to said article being inserted and removed into and from said slot while imparting minimal frictional resistance to the relative horizontal movement between said rods and said article, said elements bearing sufficiently against said article while in said slot frictionally to prevent said article from falling from said slot due to gravity.
A hanger comprising two parallel substantially horizontal bars which define a slot between them and a plurality of fibers extending outwardly from one of said bars towards the other of said bars, said plurality of fibers being inclined upwardly from said one bar to proximate the other said bar whereby items can be moved horizontally into and out of said slot and supported therein by said plurality of fibers.
A hanger comprising an array of parallel substantially horizontal bars which define between them slots, a plurality of fibers extending outwardly from said bars into said slots, each said plurality of fibers being inclined upwardly from the bar from which it extends across each of said slots whereby items can be moved horizontally into and out of each of said slots and supported therein by a corresponding plurality of fibers extending across the respective slots.
