The present invention relates to an improved hanger. More particularly, the present invention provides a collapsible hanger for preserving the shape or integrity of one or more clothing items.
As clothing prices rise many individuals do not want to buy as many new clothes as they once would have. Keeping clothes nicer for longer is now a priority many individuals are faced with. This priority often leads to individuals hanging much or all of their clothes on clothing hangers. However, many clothing hangers often stretch or pull on the collar or arm sleeve of a garment, such as a jacket, shirt, dress, or the like, when placing the garment on the clothing hanger. With repeated and prolonged use, the garment may lose its shape or elasticity, and become permanently deformed. Accordingly, a solution to enable an individual to both organize and preserve their clothing, without stretching or damaging the clothing, is desired.
Consequently, there is a need for an improvement to the process of hanging clothes. The present invention substantially diverges in design elements from the known art, while at the same time solves a problem many individuals have. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills these needs.
The present invention provides a collapsible hanger wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user when hanging clothes. The present system comprises a collapsible hanger with a hooked top portion attached to a ridged center bar. The ridged center bar having a connector disposed below the hooked top portion. A bottom portion of the center bar having flexible arms attached to the center bar. The flexible arms having a flexible portion between the first end and a second end. The second end of each arm is attached to an aperture. The aperture is configured to have the ridged center bar therethrough. The aperture is configured to lock to the connector fixing the hanger is an expanded position.
