The present invention is a clothes hanger. In particular, the present invention is directed to a clothes hanger with a hook for, inter alia, hats.
BACKGROUND ARTA number of different types of clothes hangers exist. However, these hangers often do not provide a mechanism for pairing hats with the clothes on the hanger. Accordingly, a clothes hanger is needed that can pair a hat or cover with a set of clothes such as a military or police uniform.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is a clothes hanger. In particular, the present invention is directed to a clothes hanger with a hook for, inter alia, hats. The preferred embodiment of the hanger comprises a hook that supports a hanger body with a cross bar. The hanger body has two hanger arms that extend from a vertex. A secondary hook is mounted to the vertex and extends perpendicular to the vertex. The hanger also preferably has a clip tag hung on the hook and over the hanger body. The clip tag preferably has a loop portion for hanging on the hook, a tag portion suspended from the loop and a spring-loaded clip mounted to the tag. The spring-loaded clip could be used to secure a garrison cover to the tag.
The objects and features of the present invention, which are believed to be novel, are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages, may best be understood by reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
[1] The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention and sets forth the best modes contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention. Various modifications, however, will remain readily apparent to those skilled in the art, since the general principles of the present invention have been defined herein specifically to provide a clothes hanger.
[2] Referring now to
[3] A secondary hook 30 is mounted at the vertex 22 of the hanger body 20. The secondary hook 30 generally extends perpendicularly from the vertex 22 of the hanger body 20. The secondary hook 30 preferably has two prongs 32 and 34 for use with multiple items. The secondary hook 30 preferably extends far enough from the hanger body so that a hat or cover 100 can be hung on the secondary hook 30 while a coat or shirt 300 is hung on the hanger body 20. It is also possible to hang pants from the cross bar 40 (not shown.)
[4] An alternative preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in
[5] Thus, an improved clothes hanger is described above that has an added hook and clip tag for storing a hat with a set of clothing. In each of the above embodiments, the different positions and structures of the present invention are described separately in each of the embodiments. However, it is the full intention of the inventors of the present invention that the separate aspects of each embodiment described herein may be combined with the other embodiments described herein. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that adaptations and modifications of the just-described preferred embodiment can be configured without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Therefore, it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described herein.
