TODAY’S PATENT- HANGER FOR THIN GARMENTS WITH DIVERSELY SIZED PROSECTIONS FOR GRIPPING

This hanger was invented by Chester Kolton (Westfield, NJ), Stuart S. Spater (Livingston, NJ). It was patented by the USPTO on March 3, 1992 bearing patent number US5092502A. The claim of the assignee is the ornamental design for a hanger, as shown and described.

The present invention has its primary object of provision of improved lingerie hangers.

A hanger comprising an integral body of synthetic material with a central portion, a hook portion extending outward of the central portion, and first and second wing portions at respective opposed side margins of the central portion is provided by the invention in order to achieve the aforementioned and other goals.

The central portion defines, at each side margin thereof, a succession of diversely-sized projections extending outwardly of the side margins; these projections are generally arcuate in configuration and get smaller as they move farther away from the hook portion. Every wing section consists of a cantilever-supported member that is defined mutually with the projections at progressively smaller distances from the hook part. Each cantilever-supported member is supported by the centre portion.

Ideally, the series of varying sizes comprises two projections: the first is typically semi-circular in shape and extends beyond the side margins, while the second projection typically consists of a sector of a circle that is significantly smaller than a semi-circle.
