Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates generally to a garment set
double hanger and method of hanging which are suitable for hanging
and displaying together a set of matched or coordinated top
garments such as a matched or coordinate set of sport or dress
shirts. For instance, a promotional sale might offer a matched set
of striped shirts, a first sport or dress shirt having red and
white stripes and a second sport or dress shirt having blue and
white stripes. The garment set double hanger is designed to display
the set of matched or coordinate garments together and to convey to
a consumer the impression that the garments are designed to be
purchased together as a matched or coordinate set.
[0003] 2. Discussion of the Prior Art
[0004] It can be appreciated that many garments are designed to be
sold as coordinated matched sets. For example, a promotional sale
might offer a matching set of top garments, such as dress shirts,
sports shirts, blouses or sweaters of an identical style and cut
but of different colors, or other garment set combinations as are
frequently specifically manufactured to be sold as matched sets. In
the sale of such garment matched sets, it is desirable to display
the garments together to convey to the consumer the impression that
the garments are indeed a set to be purchased together. To that end
the separate garments may be hung on separate hangers and displayed
alongside or next to each other, or the garments may be hung on a
single hanger. The drawbacks in such display methods are that in
the first example of separate hangers, some frame or support is
required to display the separately hung garments together, and in
the second example of a single hanger, sharing a single hanger may
obscure from display one of the individual garments that make up
the garment matched set, or make it difficult to mount the garment
matched set on the single hanger.
[0005] It can also be appreciated that a further benefit in
displaying such garment matched sets together, or in displaying
garments of a similar style and color together, is that the amount
of required display space can be reduced significantly. A still
further benefit of displaying such coordinate garment matched sets
together is to make it easier for the consumer to find and purchase
such coordinate garment matched sets. This economy of space and
ease of organization may also extend to the transportation and
storage of such coordinate garment matched sets.
[0006] Moreover, in many cases it has long been a practice to
utilize hanger structures in which two hangers are ganged together,
with a lower hanger being suspended from a top hanger. In other
cases, attachments have been designed with the attachment
constructed to be temporarily or permanently connected to a
supporting hanger.
[0007] These arrangements have often not been satisfactory because
they have normally required the hangers to be of such a design that
they do not have utility other than as ganged hangers for
simultaneous multiple garment display and transport. Moreover, when
hangers of conventional construction have been modified to permit
ganging, they have involved either a difficult and complex
structure for attaching one garment hanger to the other, or they
have not been satisfactory in transportation because the vibration
and jostling incident to transportation has frequently caused the
hangers to become disconnected, allowing one of the garments to
fall to the floor or bottom of the transport container. This same
lack of security of attachment has also been a problem at the point
of display unless the hangers are handled carefully.
[0008] It is also an important requirement that the cost of
manufacturing and selling the hangers be maintained as low as
possible to meet the necessities of the garment manufacturing and
merchandising field.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0009] The present invention provides a garment set double hanger
and method of hanging which are suitable for hanging and displaying
a set of matched or coordinated garments together, such as a
matched set of mens or ladies top garments, which does not obscure
from display either of the individual garments that make up the
coordinate garment set, and which is designed to make it easy to
mount the coordinate garment matched set on the single hanger. The
garment set double hanger includes a top hanger which is designed
to support a first garment of the matched set of garments and a
bottom hanger which is designed to support and display a second
garment of the matched set of garments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] The garment set double hanger of the present invention
provides a rather large garment hanger designed to display a
matched or coordinated set of top garments, as might be offered in
a promotional sale, while displaying the garments without unduly
obstructing the view of either garment. In that regard, one
designed embodiment of the garment set double hanger had a width of
41 centimeters, a total height of 31.5 centimeters, and a
vertically extending and elongated rectangular frame member of 6.2
by 1.2 centimeters, with the lower hanger being mounted
approximately 10.2 centimeters below the top hanger. The above
defined dimensions are of one designed embodiment, and other
embodiments with different dimensions are equally within the scope
of the present invention.
[0015] With such a large garment set hanger structure, designed to
provide full support and visibility for the matched set of
garments, the garment set hanger must be designed with a sturdy
structural design, as described hereinbelow.
[0016] FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of one embodiment of a
garment set double hanger pursuant to the present invention which
includes a top hanger hook 12, a top garment hanger 14 depending
from the top hanger hook, and a bottom garment hanger 16 depending
from the top garment hanger.
[0017] The garment set double hanger includes a top centrally
located hanger means, such as an inverted U shaped hanger hook 12
or an enlarged knob or a cross member structure designed to engage
a slot, by which the garment hanger is suspended when the hanger
means engages and hangs from a support such as a clothes rack. The
top centrally located inverted U shaped hanger hook might or might
not incorporate a releasable indicator tag to indicate to a
consumer a size or other descriptive detail of a garment attached
to a neck portion by an attachment means 18 or to a top portion of
the top hanger hook, or to both the neck and top portions.
[0018] The hanger hook has a general I-beam construction wherein
the hanger hook is provided with an enlarged thickness peripheral
flange 20 extending entirely around the outermost edge of the
hanger hook, with opposite peripheral side flanges 20 being
connected by a reduced thickness central web 22. The peripheral
flange also extends around the inner peripheral edge of the
attachment means 18 for a releasable size indicator. The flange has
an enlarged thickness which is substantially greater than the
reduced thickness of the central vertical web of the hanger hook
and reinforces the construction strength of the garment hanger
hook.
[0019] The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is designed with an
attachment means 18 to receive a releasable indicator at a neck
portion between the top hanger hook 12 and the top garment hanger
14 of the garment set hanger. The releasable indicator is attached
to a rounded triangular, reduced thickness, indicator receiving
portion which terminates near a curved edge flange 24 formed where
it joins the peripheral flange 20 around the hanger hook and also
around the top hanger 14. A small triangular locking tab 26 is
centrally located in the reduced thickness portion, and has a wedge
shaped side profile, increasing in thickness in the direction of
insertion of a releasable indicator thereon and terminating at edge
28, to secure a releasable indicator in place on the reduced
thickness portion, the structure and details of which are described
in greater detail in U.S. Pat. No. 6,264,075.
[0020] FIG. 2 is a sectional view through the top and bottom
garment hangers of FIG. 1, taken along sectional arrows 2-2 in FIG.
1, and particularly illustrates details of the construction of the
frame members of the top and bottom hangers of the garment set
double hanger.
[0021] The enlarged thickness flange 20 around the inverted U
shaped hanger hook 12 extends integrally into an enlarged thickness
flange 20 around the top hanger 14, which is formed centrally below
the inverted U shaped hanger hook. The top hanger is designed to
support and display a first top garment of the matched set of
garments and has a central body portion 30 and coplanar left and
right downwardly sloping arms 32, which are symmetrically
identical, extending from the central body member in left and right
lateral directions. A garment/strap receiving opening and slot 34
is defined in the top of each of the left and right arms as is
generally known in the art.
[0022] The central body portion defines an enlarged width neck
portion 36, such that a collar of the first garment is designed to
fit around the enlarged width neck portion, with the shoulder
portions of the first garment being supported on the left and right
downwardly sloping arms. The left and right downwardly sloping arms
terminate in downturned distal rounded ends 38 to facilitate
mounting of the first garment on the top hanger.
[0023] A vertically extending and elongated rectangular frame
member 40 extends vertically downwardly from the central body
portion of the top hanger to the bottom hanger 16 which is
centrally suspended below the top hanger and is designed to support
a second garment of the matched set of garments.
[0024] The top hanger 14 and the vertical rectangular frame member
40 have a general I beam construction similar to the hanger hook 12
wherein the top hanger body and the rectangular frame member are
provided with an enlarged thickness peripheral flange 20 extending
around their peripheral edges with opposite peripheral side flanges
being connected by a reduced thickness central web 22. The flange
has an enlarged thickness which is substantially greater than the
reduced thickness of the central vertical web which reinforces the
construction strengths of the top hanger and the vertical
rectangular frame member.
[0025] The enlarged thickness flange 20 extends entirely around the
left and right downwardly sloping arms 32, including the
garment/strap receiving opening and slot 34. The enlarged thickness
flange 20 extends along a common boundary 42 with the central body
portion, and at the location where the enlarged width neck portion
36 of the central body curves into the left and right downwardly
sloping arms, the enlarged thickness flange continues straight
across the common boundary 42 and joins the enlarged thickness
flange beneath the central body portion and the enlarged flange
beneath the downwardly sloped arm.
[0026] The enlarged thickness flange 20 extends substantially
entirely around the central body portion 30 of the top hanger
including the common boundary 32, with the exception of an opening
44 into the vertical rectangular frame member 40.
[0027] The bottom hanger 16 is a substantial duplicate of the top
hanger, and is designed to support and display a second garment of
the matched set of garments. The enlarged thickness flange 20
around the elongated rectangular frame member 40 extends integrally
into an enlarged thickness flange around the bottom hanger 16
formed centrally below the top hanger 14. The bottom hanger has a
central body portion 50 and coplanar left and right downwardly
sloping arms 52, which are symmetrically identical, extending from
the central body member in left and right lateral directions. A
garment/strap receiving opening and slot 54 is defined in the top
of each of the left and right arms as is generally known in the
art.
[0028] The central body portion defines an enlarged width neck
portion 56, such that a collar of the second garment is designed to
fit around the enlarged width neck portion, with the shoulder
portions of the second garment being supported on the left and
right downwardly sloping arms. The left and right downwardly
sloping arms terminate in downturned distal rounded ends 58 to
facilitate mounting of the second garment on the bottom hanger.
[0029] The bottom hanger 16 has a general I beam construction
similar to the top hanger 14 and is provided with an enlarged
thickness peripheral flange 20 extending around its peripheral
edges with opposite peripheral side flanges being connected by a
reduced thickness central web 22. The flange has an enlarged
thickness, which is substantially greater than the reduced
thickness of the central vertical web, which reinforces the
construction strength of the bottom hanger.
[0030] The enlarged thickness flange 20 extends entirely around the
left and right downwardly sloping arms 52, including the
garment/strap receiving opening and slot 54. The enlarged thickness
flange extends along a common boundary 62 with the central body
portion, and at the location where the enlarged width neck portion
56 of the central body curves into the left and right downwardly
sloping arms, the enlarged thickness flange continues straight
across the common boundary 62 and joins the enlarged thickness
flange beneath the central body portion and the enlarged flange
beneath the downwardly sloped arm.
[0031] The enlarged thickness flange extends substantially entirely
around the central body portion 50 of the top hanger including the
common boundary 62, with the exception of an opening 64 into the
vertical rectangular frame member 40.
[0032] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, to maximize strength while
using a minimum amount of plastic material, the central hanger
hook, the top garment hanger, the elongated vertically extending
frame member connecting the top and bottom garment hangers, and the
bottom garment hanger are constructed with an I shaped cross
section having a first peripheral flange connected by a central
vertically extending web to a second opposed peripheral flange.
[0033] However, in alternative embodiments the different components
of the garment set double hanger may be constructed with a curved
M-shaped cross-section, an E-shaped cross-section, a C-shaped
cross-section, or any suitable cross-section which may improve the
strength to weight ratio for particular applications to resist
flexing due to the weight of the garments hanging from the garment
set double hanger of the present invention and to assist in
maintaining the hanger upright when in use.
[0034] The garment hanger hook, top hanger, rectangular frame
member and bottom hanger are preferably formed as one integrally
molded plastic piece from a suitable plastic material as is known
in the art.
[0035] FIG. 3 illustrates a preferred method of hanging and
displaying a pair of garments such as sports shirts on a front
facing garment set double hanger of the present invention wherein
the pair of front facing garments are tiered from front to rear
with the bottom front garment being hung and displayed on the
bottom hanger in front of the top rear garment which is hung and
displayed on the top hanger.
[0036] The method of hanging the garments tiered from front to rear
as shown in FIG. 3 preferably includes inserting a first arm of the
top hanger of the front facing double hanger into a first arm of
the front facing top garment until the neck of the top garment
abuts against the neck of the top hanger, with the bottom hanger
being positioned in front of the top garment, and then displacing,
and if necessary stretching, the neck of the top garment to enable
a second arm of the top hanger to be inserted into a second arm of
the top garment, such that the top garment is hung on the top
hanger, with the bottom hanger being positioned in front of the top
garment, and then inserting a first arm of the bottom hanger into a
first arm of a front facing bottom garment until the neck of the
bottom garment abuts against the neck of the bottom hanger, with
the bottom hanger being positioned in front of the top garment, and
then displacing, and if necessary stretching, the neck of the
bottom garment to enable a second arm of the bottom hanger to be
inserted into a second arm of the bottom garment, such that the
bottom garment is hung on the bottom hanger. The method results in
the front facing bottom garment being hung and displayed in front
of and beneath the front facing top garment on the front facing
double hanger.
[0037] A pair of garments could also be hung on a front facing
double hanger of the present invention wherein the pair of front
facing garments are tiered from front to rear with the top front
garment being hung and displayed on the top hanger in front of the
bottom rear garment which is hung and displayed on the bottom
hanger.
[0038] The method of hanging the front facing garments on the front
facing double hanger tiered from front to rear with the top front
garment being hung and displayed on the top hanger in front of the
bottom rear garment which is hung and displayed on the bottom
hanger preferably includes inserting a first arm of the top hanger
of a rear facing double hanger into a first arm of a rear facing
top garment until the neck of the top garment abuts against the
neck of the top hanger, with the bottom hanger being positioned in
front of the top garment, and then displacing, and if necessary
stretching, the neck of the top garment to enable a second arm of
the top hanger to be inserted into a second arm of the top garment,
such that the rear facing top garment is hung on the top hanger of
the rear facing double hanger, with the bottom hanger being
positioned in front of the top garment, and then inserting a first
arm of the bottom hanger into a first arm of a rear facing bottom
garment until the neck of the bottom garment abuts against the neck
of the bottom hanger, with the bottom hanger being positioned in
front of the top garment, and then displacing, and if necessary
stretching, the neck of the bottom garment to enable a second arm
of the bottom hanger to be inserted into a second arm of the bottom
garment, such that the bottom garment is hung on the bottom hanger,
with the bottom garment being hung in front of and beneath the top
garment, and then turning around the double garment hanger and hung
garments, such that the front facing top garment is hung and
displayed above the front facing bottom garment on the front facing
double hanger.
[0039] While several embodiments and variations of the present
invention for a garment set double hanger and method of hanging are
described in detail herein, it should be apparent that the
disclosure and teachings of the present invention will suggest many
alternative designs to those skilled in the art.
