Clothes Hanger with Integrated Lint-Removal Bar

 

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-removal material. The user can quickly pass the bar across the surface of clothing to remove lint without needing a separate tool.

Detailed Description

The invention comprises:

  • Hanger Frame: Standard triangular frame with a hook at the top.

  • Pants Bar: Horizontal bar spanning the lower ends of the frame.

  • Lint-Removal Surface: The underside of the pants bar is affixed with a removable or permanent strip of lint-collecting material, preferably a reusable velvet-textured fabric, rubberized adhesive surface, or microfiber pad.

  • Replaceability: The lint-removal strip may be removable, washable, and replaceable via hook-and-loop fasteners, adhesive, or snap-on design.

Operation:

  1. Garments can be stored on the hanger as usual.

  2. To remove lint, the user simply holds the hanger by its hook or sides and glides the pants bar’s underside along the surface of the clothing needing cleaning.

  3. The strip captures lint, which can be removed by hand, rinsing, or replaced when worn out.

Claims (Sample Draft)

  1. Independent Claim:
    A clothes hanger comprising:

  • a frame including a hook portion and a pair of side arms;

  • a pants bar extending between the side arms;

  • a lint-removal surface disposed on an underside of the pants bar,
    wherein the lint-removal surface is configured to remove lint from a garment when the pants bar is manually passed across the garment.

  1. Dependent Claim:
    The clothes hanger of claim 1, wherein the lint-removal surface comprises a velvet, microfiber, or rubberized adhesive material.

  2. Dependent Claim:
    The clothes hanger of claim 1, wherein the lint-removal surface is removable and replaceable via a fastening mechanism selected from hook-and-loop fasteners, adhesive backing, or snap-on clips.

  3. Dependent Claim:
    The clothes hanger of claim 1, wherein the lint-removal surface is colored red to visually differentiate it from the hanger body.

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 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...

Quarter-Curve Side Plate for Efficient Dining Space and Side Dish Serving

  Public Disclosure Title: Quarter-Curve Side Plate for Efficient Dining Space and Side Dish Serving By: Samir Eltom Date: [Insert Today’s Date] Description: This invention introduces a novel plate accessory designed to complement traditional round dinner plates.
