Description
[0001] This application claims benefits of the provisional
application No. 61/170,249 (confirmation number 3054) files on Apr.
17, 2009.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This invention is related to a multiple purpose handbag
hanger, which is particularly suitable for hanging multiple
handbags/purses and the like somewhat bulky and heavy items in
suspension. The subject of this invention is generally categorized
in US Patent Office Classes 211 and 233.
[0003] There are a few existing multiple handbag hangers on the
market. One type has multiple holders on a one-hook hanger that is
hung directly on a closet rod. This kind of hanger tilts when the
weight is not evenly distributed on the hanger. The other type of
handbag hangers consists a single file of multiple holders
connected with a vertical belt and a clip at the top of the belt so
that this handbag hanger can be hung over a door. However, when the
space between a door and its frame is not wide enough to
accommodate the clip, the door cannot be closed properly. Further,
this kind of hanger is also not suitable for sliding and/or folding
doors.
[0004] Therefore, there remains a need for a handbag hanger that
can hold multiple handbags, purses or the likes in one such device
which also can be used in home closets, coffeehouses, restaurants,
bars, etc, to accommodate the existing standard shelf
configurations in North America. In addition, this invention can
also be used in garages or other spaces with fixed wire and/or
board shelves for any suspendables to better organize the
space.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] A multiple purpose handbag hanger for handbags or the likes
is disclosed. This hanger can be hung under a shelf stably. This
hanger includes multiple holders on which multiple handbags are
hung securely, a horizontal connecting rod to which these holders
are connected with, and a pair of extension chains linked between
the rod and two hanging devices. The two hanging devices feature a
pair of C-shaped hooks which allow the hanger be hung under a wire
shelf or a pair of U-shaped clips which allow the hanger be hung
under a board shelf stably, respectively. These wire or board
shelves are standard fixtures in a closet or garage commonly seen
in North America. In addition, the types of hanging devices allow
the hanger be moved at will to any position on the shelf. Also,
such two-point hanging feature provides an advantage or flexibility
over when only one holder is used. In the event only one handbag is
needed to be hung at one end of the hanger, the hanger will not be
tilted. Furthermore, this feature allows one hand operation so one
can hang or remove a bag with a little effort, without disturbing
adjacent hanging items. The two-point hanging feature also provides
the potential to expand vertically to two or more tiers of the
hangers to maximize the usage of the closet space.
[0006] In summary, the present invention is a uniquely designed
multiple purpose handbag hanger with the capability to hang
multiple handbags or other suspendables at the same time. This
invention provides a novel and easy-to-use handbag hanger, which is
simple in structure and easy to manufacture. It also helps people
to organize their suspendables in their closets and garages at
home, and to exhibit samples in a commercial event. The hanger is
removable for easy storage.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] FIG. 1 is a front view of the multiple purpose handbag
hanger with C-shaped hooks;
[0008] FIG. 2 is a front view of the multiple purpose handbag
hanger with U-shaped clips;
[0009] FIG. 3 is a perspective and close view of the U-shaped
clip.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] The preferred embodiments may be understood by referring to
FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, which depict front views and perspective views of
the multiple purpose handbag hanger. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 depict the
front views of the hanger with C-shaped hooks and U-shaped clips,
respectively. FIG. 3 depicts the perspective and close view of the
U-shaped clip.
[0011] The present invention relates to hangers, in particular
relates to the purpose of hanging multiple handbags and the likes
somewhat bulky and heavy suspendables. This multiple purpose
handbag hanger can be used as an addition to existing standard wire
and board shelf systems in North America. The hanger includes
multiple holders 4 on which multiple handbags and suspendables are
hung securely, a horizontal connecting rod 5 to which these holders
4 are connected with, and a pair of vertical extension chains 6
which connect the rod 5 at one end and a hanging device C-shaped
hook 7 or U-shaped clip 10 at the other end. The hanging devices
featuring a pair of C-shaped hooks 7 allow the hanger being hung
under a wire shelf, or featuring a pair of U-shaped clips 10 allow
the hanger being hung under a board shelf stably, respectively. To
save space, the asymmetrically designed hanger can be hung under a
shelf perpendicular in relationship to a back wall with end 8
pointing out and end 9 toward the wall. These wire and board
shelves are standard fixtures in a closet or a garage commonly seen
in North America. This removable hanger is an addition to existing
shelf systems and will not interfere with door configurations or
other structures.
[0012] The hanger with two C-shaped hooks 7 (FIG. 1) is suitable to
a standard wire shelf. People just simply hook up the C-shaped
hooks 7 to any horizontal wire within the wire shelf. The hanger
with two U-shaped clips 10 (FIG. 2) is suitable to a standard board
shelf. The clips 10 also contain one elastic plate spring 11 built
in at one side of each of the clips 10 to accommodate different
thickness of a board so that the clips 10 will not slip. The
detailed construction can be viewed in FIG. 3.
[0013] The above disclosed multiple purpose handbag hanger can be
made from metal, plastic, or similar materials and their
combinations. Also, the handbag hanger can be made in different
colors or coatings at will or as needed. The C-shaped hooks 7 and
U-shaped clips 10 are all swivelable for all directions. Such
secure means by using C-shaped hooks 7 or U-shaped clips 10 will
not damage the shelf under which the hanger is hung. Based on the
similar design, other secure means or constructions might be
possible with any conventional method. Moreover, the extension
chain 6, including made from rigid wire, can have any designs and
shapes, and be made in any lengths. The sizes and shapes of the
holders 4, and the numbers of the holders 4 under the connecting
rod 5 might be varied according to different situations.
Furthermore, the holders 4 and the connecting rod 5 are one body
construction and the orientations of these holders 4 can be
constructed in any directions. The extension chains 6 are fixed
onto the connecting rod 5 with any conventional means, and their
positions on the rod 5 can be altered to accommodate needs.
Further, the holders 4, the connecting rod 5, the chains 6, and the
hanging devices, C-shaped hooks 7 or U-shaped clips 10, can be made
into one-body constructions. The numbers of the elastic plate
spring 11 and its shape and construction harbored in the U-shaped
clips 10 also can be modified to meet a specific set of needs.
[0014] The present invention is to support multiple handbags and
other suspendables in suspension under wire and board shelves. The
above-disclosed invention has been described in detail as a
preferred embodiment. However, it is to be understood that the
disclosed embodiment is merely the exemplary of the invention that
may be embodied in various forms, construction, and arrangements of
the elements without departing from the ideas and principles of the
present invention in light of the foregoing description.
