Claims
- 1. A travel hanger comprising:
- a central hook member;
- first and second support arms extending in opposed directions from said hook member for suspending a garment therefrom;
- a first sheet of flexible material depending from said support arms, said first sheet intermediate first and second fabric layers of the garment upon the garment being suspended from said support arms to substantially prevent the layers from contacting one another;
- a second sheet of flexible material depending from said hook member and adjacent said first sheet with at least one of the fabric layers of the garment therebetween to substantially prevent the fabric layer from contacting any other surface,
- said sheets having a length substantially equal to the garment's length;
- said flexible material adapted to adjust with movement of the garment, said flexible material being at least as flexible as the garment.
- 2. A travel hanger as claimed in claim 1, wherein said sheets are formed of transparent plastic.
- 3. A travel hanger system comprising:
- a plurality of hanging members, each said member adapted to hang a garment therefrom;
- said members each including a hook member for securing said corresponding hanging member to a support, a first flexible sheet adapted to be positioned within the supported garment to substantially prevent the garment's fabric layers from contacting one another and a second flexible sheet adapted to depend from said hanging member adjacent its corresponding first sheet with a fabric layer of the supported garment therebetween to substantially prevent the fabric layer from contacting another layer;
- said sheets extending from said corresponding hanging member for a length substantially equal to the garment's length;
- said sheets adapted to adjust with movement of the garment, said sheets being at least as flexible as the garment.
- 4. A travel hanger as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
- a third sheet of flexible material depending from said hook member for a length substantially equal to the garment's length and adjacent said first sheet with another one of the fabric layers of the garment therebetween to substantially prevent the fabric layer from contacting any other surface.
- 5. A travel hanger system as claimed in claim 3, wherein each of said second sheets are releasably attachable to said corresponding hanging member.
- 6. A travel hanger as claimed in claim 3, wherein a second sheet of a second hanging member is adjacent a first sheet of a first hanging member, with a fabric layer of the supported garment of said first hanging member therebetween.
- 7. A travel hanger system as claimed in claim 6, wherein a second sheet of a third hanging member is adjacent said first sheet of said second hanging member with a fabric layer of a supported garment of said second hanging member therebetween.
- 8. A travel hanger system as claimed in claim 3, wherein one said member further includes a third flexible sheet adapted to depend from said hanging member for a length substantially equal to the garment's length and adjacent its corresponding first sheet and opposite its said second sheet with a second fabric layer of the supported garment therebetween to substantially prevent the second fabric layer from contacting another layer.
- 9. A luggage assembly, comprising:
- a luggage member;
- a hanging means for hanging a garment therefrom, including an attachment means for securing said hanging means within said luggage member and a first flexible sheet portion adapted to be positioned within the supported garment to substantially prevent separate surfaces of the garment from contacting one another; and
- a second flexible sheet portion depending from said hanging means adjacent said first sheet to cover an outer surface of the garment to substantially prevent the outer surface of the garment from contacting another surface;
- said sheet portions depending from said hanging means for a length substantially equal to the garment's length;
- said sheet portions adapted to adjust with movement of the garment, said sheet portions being at least as flexible as the garment.
- 10. A luggage assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein said sheets are formed of flexible plastic.
- 11. A luggage assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein said second sheet portion is releasably attachable to said hanging means.
- 12. A luggage assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein said hanging means includes first and second supporting arms extending in opposed directions from said attachment means to suspend the garment therefrom.
- 13. A luggage assembly as claimed in claim 12, wherein said attachment means includes a hook member.
- 14. A luggage assembly as claimed in claim 12, wherein said first sheet portion attaches to said hanging means across said supporting arms and depends therefrom, said first sheet portion intermediate first and second fabric layers of the garment upon the garment being suspended from said supporting arms.
- 15. A luggage assembly as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:
- a third flexible sheet portion depending from said hanging means for a length substantially equal to the garment's length and adjacent said first sheet and opposite said second sheet to cover another outer surface of the garment and substantially prevent the other outer surface of the garment from contacting another surface.
