  • Patent number: 5011029
    Abstract: There is provided a lift coat hanger comprising an ingenious damper that can be selectively operated with a view to decelerate the rotary motion of the arm and softly stopping it as it comes to the open or closed position, while the construction of the overall lift coat hanger is made rather simple and hence can be realized at a reduced cost.
