Foldable Dual-Hook Adjustable-Spacer Hanger with Centering Rotation

Image
  Abstract A garment hanger with two hooks spaced apart by a selectable distance (3–10 cm) to provide bilateral garment clearance. Each hook is mounted on a foldable carrier that can pivot to bring the hooks together for compact storage. The hook carriers and/or the garment-supporting member are configured to rotate about a vertical axis (≈90°) so that the garment-supporting bar or arms remain centered under the closet rod in both the spread and collapsed configurations. The invention allows a single hanger to function either as a space-creating dual-hook hanger or as a conventional single-hook hanger, without causing the garment to shift off-center when collapsed. Background Closet rod spacers and fixed dual-hook hangers exist, but they do not (a) allow adjustable spacing, (b) fold flat for shipping or storage, or (c) keep garments centered when collapsed. When traditional dual-hook hangers are modified for storage, garments hang off-center, creating imbalance and wasted s...

Dual-Hook Adjustable-Spacer Hanger with Collapsible Bridge

Image
Abstract A clothes hanger with two rod-engaging hooks connected by a foldable or telescoping bridge that allows the hooks to be moved between a closed position (for storage) and an open, adjustable position where the hooks are spaced apart by a selectable distance (3–10 cm). The garment support portion is suspended at the midpoint between the hooks, ensuring the garment is centered and automatically maintains clearance from neighboring garments. Background Traditional hangers crowd clothing together, causing wrinkling and poor airflow. Closet rod spacers exist but are separate accessories that take time to install and are often lost. Dual-hook hangers exist for clotheslines or wind resistance but do not provide adjustable bilateral clearance and are not collapsible. There is a need for a hanger that automatically maintains spacing , can be adjusted for garment type , and folds flat for storage or shipping. Summary of the Invention The invention provides: Two rod hooks s...

Dual-Hook Closet Hanger Providing Bilateral Garment Spacing

Image
  Provisional patent application draft Abstract A garment hanger having two spaced hook portions configured to engage a single closet rod at two separated locations, and a garment-supporting member suspended substantially at the midpoint between the hook portions. The geometry enforces a preset lateral spacing from adjacent hangers on both sides. Embodiments include indexed adjustable spacing , anti-rotation rod saddles , and compressible bumpers . Field Closet hardware; garment hangers; wardrobe organization. Background Closet spacing has been addressed mainly by separate spacers/dividers attached to the rod, or by dual-hook hangers for clotheslines. Add-on spacers add clutter and are easy to misplace, while clothesline hangers are not optimized for closet rods. There remains a need for a single hanger that both supports a garment and inherently preserves bilateral clearance on a standard closet rod. (See, e.g., hanger spacer devices and spacer tapes; dual-hook win...

Clothes Hanger with Integrated Lint-Removal Bar

Image
  Provisional Patent Application Draft Abstract A clothes hanger with a pants bar that doubles as a lint-removal device. The underside of the pants bar is covered with a lint-removal material (such as a velvet, micro-fiber, or rubberized surface) that can be manually rubbed against garments to remove lint, pet hair, and dust. The design combines garment storage and cleaning in a single compact product. Background Existing clothes hangers are used solely for hanging garments, while lint removal requires a separate tool such as a lint roller or brush. This separation leads to inconvenience, clutter, and additional cost. There is a need for a combined device that can store clothes and also allow quick lint removal, particularly in tight closet spaces. Summary of the Invention The invention provides a clothes hanger with an integrated lint-removal feature. The hanger consists of a frame, a hook, and a pants bar. The underside of the pants bar is covered with a red lint-remova...
