Disclosed embodiments include a foldable hanger assembly and a clothing storage system that accommodates foldable hanger assemblies. Foldable hanger assembly embodiments comprise: (i) a first frame component with a hook; (ii) a second frame component; and (iii) a hinge assembly connecting the first frame component and the second frame component. In some examples, the hinge assembly comprises: (i) a first hinge insert attached to the first frame component; (ii) a second hinge insert attached to the second frame component; and (iii) a hinge clip that connects the first hinge insert to the second hinge insert, where the hinge clip allows the first frame component and the second frame component to pivot relative to each other from a horizontally open configuration into a horizontally closed configuration.

A completely clear hanger that has a thickness that is between about 0.19 and 0.40 inches. By being completely clear, the hanger is adaptable for use with any decor and takes a minimal amount of space in a closet or other storage area.

A garment hanger comprising a hook having a neck, first and second hanger arms, a horizontal support member, and a vertical support. The vertical support is sized to accommodate garment loops.

The present invention relates to a garment hanger that is especially suited for life vests. The hanger may include a hanger body having a central portion with angled left and right legs that meet at an apex, generally flat left and right shoulders, and left and right ends that extend from the left and right shoulders, respectively, toward the apex. The hanger may also include a hook located adjacent to the apex of the hanger body. Hangers with an aperture at the top of the hanger and a cable to secure the hanger to an object are also described.

Method and apparatus for producing hangers and similar devices. In some examples, a method includes wetting a flat layer of paper material to increase humidity percentage at room temperature; leaving said layer of paper material to rest for a predetermined period of time; cutting said flat layer of paper material to define an appropriate shape for the hanger; carrying out a knurling operation on at least one portion of the flat layer of paper material so that at least one concave area is realized; forming the flat layer of paper material by introducing the flat layer of paper material between a mould and a counter-mould and subsequently through pressing; and carrying out a stabilisation operation of the hanger to reduce the humidity percentage.

A hanger that is shaped to reduce packaging size by 30-50% is described. The amount of air in hanger packaging is minimized because each hanger has a groove that allows another hanger to sit on top as a tongue and save space. This significantly reduces the shipping cost of a set of hangers, while maintaining its utility as a hanger when in use.
