Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to methods for ensuring correct organization of uniforms, and more particularly to devices, methods and systems for positioning insignia, ribbons, and other accoutrements on military uniforms.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Strict standards must be adhered to when in the armed forces. Military uniforms must be straight, neat, and kept in a specific and orderly fashion. The slightest dishevelment can result in reprimands and punishment. Further, many military uniforms are to be worn with various insignia and other accessories for which it can be difficult to determine suitable placement and alignment.

There exists a need for a uniform organizer apparatus that allows one to hang garments and other accessories thereon. Devices are known that relate to apparatuses for holding military uniforms, wherein one device relates to a holder for military tags, badges, and metals. Other devices relate to a hanger having a hook and a clamp member for holding garments. These devices however, do not utilize cutout areas or a leveling device.

As such, considering the foregoing, it may be appreciated that there continues to be a need for novel and improved devices and methods for positioning of insignia on military uniforms.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The foregoing needs are met, to a great extent, by the present invention, wherein in aspects of this invention, enhancements are provided to the existing models of organizers or templates for positioning insignia on a military uniform.

Various aspects of the present invention provides a uniform organizer apparatus that allows a service member to maintain a neat and straight uniform.

In related aspects, the uniform organizer can help a service member to adhere to strict military dress standards and pass a uniform inspection thereof.

In other related aspects, the uniform organizer can provide cutouts and a leveling device in order to ensure an organized uniform placement.

In yet other related aspects, the uniform organizer can provide location indication for accoutrements and other insignia to be pinned, hung and/or placed on a uniform.

In various aspects, the uniform organizer can be configured in for use with uniform layouts for specific branches of the military.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, certain embodiments of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof herein may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional embodiments of the invention that will be described below and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of embodiments in addition to those described and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. In addition, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein, as well as the abstract, are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.

As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception upon which this disclosure is based may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
