The present invention relates to hangers for garments, and more particularly, to multipurpose clothes hangers.
2. Description of the Related Art
Applicant is not aware of any clothes hangers suggesting the novel features of the present invention.
The instant invention is a multipurpose clothes hanger comprising a frame assembly having a neck and shoulder area. Extending from the neck and shoulder area are first and second lateral sides. The frame assembly further comprises a bottom side that connects the first and second lateral sides.
A hook assembly comprises first and second bases. Extending from the first and second bases are first and second hooks respectively. The first and second hooks each comprise at least one cutout. Each at least one cutout comprises first and second channels extending therefrom. The hook assembly further comprises a roller assembly. The hook assembly mounts through the neck area. The roller assembly comprises a roller, and extending from the roller are first and second pins that extend from the roller in opposite directions. Each at least one cutout receives the roller, and the first and second channels receive the first and second pins respectively. The first and second hooks each comprise an interior edge. The roller protrudes a predetermined distance from the interior edges. The neck area comprises a hole to receive the hook assembly. The first and second bases form a circular shape when joined.
The frame assembly further comprises a frame bracket that extends from the neck and shoulder area to the bottom side. The frame bracket is approximately perpendicular to the bottom side and comprises at least one transversal support bracket. The at least one transversal support bracket is approximately parallel to the bottom side and comprises at least one hook member protruding therefrom. The at least one hook member comprises a top face, first and second lateral edges, and a lip that terminates at a top edge.
In a preferred embodiment, the frame assembly comprises first, second, and third transversal support brackets that are approximately parallel to the bottom side. The first, second, and third transversal support brackets each comprise at least one hook member protruding therefrom, and each at least one hook member comprises a top face, first and second lateral edges, and a lip that terminates at a top edge. The frame bracket may also comprise a basket to contain chemical pesticides and/or deodorants, such as mothballs, for garments and/or clothing susceptible to damage from mold or moth larvae.
It is therefore one of the main objects of the present invention to provide a multipurpose clothes hanger for storing multiple garments and/or clothing on respective hangers.
