Abstract: A garment hanger with a hook either metal or plastic that moves between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position or also remains in a stationary upright position. The body of the hanger has arms that collapse and move between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position. Secondary “locking” system on arms and bodies to ensure the arms remain in a horizontal position without folding unintentionally by being interlocked with each other in a manner that requires a user to manually release the interlocking through use of a lock releasing lever. This allows easier insertion or removal of hanger in closed neck garment. When both arms and hook are folded or collapsed this creates footprint reduction of hanger, creating space savings in packaging and transport. A size tab can be fitted to the hanger.

Abstract: The modular high-capacity hanger was conceived to exceed the capacity and versatility of existing heavy-duty hangers. To achieve this goal, the hanger body features 3 sets of customized arms, a lower hook and four twist-on accessory hooks. The hanger swivel handle and the 4 accessory hooks are removable to reduce the size of the hanger when not in use. As a result, the modular high-capacity hanger offers an unmatched versatility and a storage capacity equivalent to multiple conventional heavy-duty hangers.

Abstract: A sewing machine includes a projector configured to project a projection image onto a projection area above a bed. The projector is arranged on a portion of an arm and includes a first lens, and a light source emitting light guided to the first lens. When a direction orthogonal to the extending direction and the up-down direction and toward a presser bar from a needle bar is defined as a forward feed direction, and a direction opposite the forward feed direction is defined as a reverse feed direction, the light source is arranged in the forward feed direction or the reverse feed direction with respect to the first lens, and a length of the projection area in a short direction of the bed is longer than a length of the projection area in a longitudinal direction of the bed.
