BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

I. Field of the Invention


This invention relates generally to a hanger for cloth or clothing and, more specifically, to a cloth hanger that is made of raw plant fiber pulp, which is not usable to make paper, for durable, functional and environment protection purpose.


II. Description of the Prior Art


Heretofore, it is known that most of the laundry stores use hangers to hang clothing being washed and ironed, so that the clothing is not folded to avoid wrinkles. Referring to FIG. 1, a simple hanger is made of plastic and formed into one body. The shoulder area a1 of the hanger is fortified to avoid cracks during use. The plastic material is waterproof. Since the hangers are delivered along with the clothing to customers, they are considered to be thrown away type products, therefore the hangers must have a low cost and good use advantages. However the thrown away products must meet environment regulations. The recycling process of plastic material requires a high cost.

It is therefore a primary object of the invention to provide a hanger that is made of raw plant fiber pulp which is not usable for paper for a durable, functional and environment protection purpose.


In order to achieve the objective set forth, a hanger in accordance with the present invention is made of raw plant fiber pulp. The raw pulp is used to make the hangers, which includes a hook and a supporting portion. Several fortified indentations are on the swivel hook and the supporting portion, and a chemical solution is spread on the surface of the whole structure.


Based on above description, the present invention applies non-pure paper pulp with any one or combination of bamboo, olive palm fiber, hemp and coconut shell that is not usable to be made into paper. These material are often thrown away as waste. These materials are ground and made into pulp, and applied to a mold to make hangers. A chemical solution is spread on the surface of the whole structure, which can be water and steam-resist coating or anti-dissolution solution to fortify the surface strength for a durable, functional and environment protection purpose.
