A clothes hanger has two limbs, each of which has a limb arm. The limb arms are elastically connected together via a housing cassette. The housing cassette forms the apex of an angle, and the limb arms form the two legs of the angle. The size of the angle can be reduced by pivoting the limbs about a pivot axis, thereby building up a restoring force by means of the elastic connection. The limbs are secured against an accidental pivoting of the limb arms via at least one locking mechanism, and corresponding blocking elements of the locking mechanism or the locking mechanisms move away from each other or towards each other in the event of a pivoting movement of the limbs.

A garment hanger with a hook either metal or plastic that moves between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position or also remains in a stationary upright position. The body of the hanger has arms that collapse and move between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position. Secondary locking system on arms and bodies to ensure the arms remain in a horizontal position without folding unintentionally by being interlocked with each other in a manner that requires a user to manually release the interlocking through use of a lock releasing lever. This allows easier insertion or removal of hanger in closed neck garment. When both arms and hook are folded or collapsed this creates footprint reduction of hanger, creating space savings in packaging and transport. A size tab can be fitted to the hanger.

A method for positioning an empty garment hanger in an individual mounting position can comprise picking up an empty garment hanger at a loading station with a gripping tool, reading a data signal identifying a garment that is to be hung on the garment hanger, moving the empty garment hanger to a mounting station, adjusting the position of the garment hanger in dependency of the data signal, and holding the garment hanger in the individual mounting position.

The invention relates to a method for positioning an empty garment hanger in an individual mounting position, comprising the steps of: picking up an empty garment hanger at a loading station with a gripping tool, reading a data signal identifying a garment that is to be hung on the garment hanger, moving the empty garment hanger to a mounting station, adjusting the position of the garment hanger in dependency of the data signal, and holding the garment hanger in the individual mounting position. The advantage of the invention is that the position where a garment is applied on a garment hanger can be adapted to the length of the operator, type of hanger and type of garment, where the position can be adjusted individually for each mounting cycle.

The present invention relates to the technical field of clothes hangers, and specifically relates to a quick clothes hanger suitable for narrow collars. The quick clothes hanger comprises a handheld end, at least one movable arm, a release assembly, and a positional reset piece; the movable arm is installed on the handheld end; the release assembly is installed on the handheld end and jointly moves with the movable arm, and is used for driving the movable arm to fold towards to the handheld end, so as to pass through a narrow collar, or to drive the movable arm to open out away from the handheld end and lock the movable arm, so as to provide support for clothing; and the positional reset piece is mounted on the handheld end and connected to the movable arm and/or the release assembly. The device has a simple structure and a sensible design; during use, the handheld end is held in one hand, and the release assembly is pressed, so that the release assembly and the movable arm jointly move, and the movable arm is driven to fold to quickly pass through a narrow collar; after pressing stops, the movable arm is positionally reset and opens up under the action of the positional reset piece, and the movable arm is engaged via the release assembly to hang clothing, and thereby rapid hanging of narrow-collar clothing is achieved.

An improved garment hanger adapted for the elongate support members to collapse from a traditional open substantially horizontal position to a closed substantially vertical position. An improved garment hanger comprises a hook for hanging the device from a support like a closet rail; a base with a spoke for anchoring components axially; first and second elongate support members coupled together by a spring mechanism and axially coupled to the base; and a latching mechanism operable to toggle the hanger between static and dynamic states. In embodiments, the improved garment hanger is operable to be collapsed incrementally and automatically released to revert the hanger to its open position, providing secure and convenient garment retention.

A garment hanger handling device comprising a housing and a gripping tool adapted to grip and hold a garment hanger. The gripping tool is adapted to pick up a garment hanger at a loading station, to move the garment hanger to a mounting station, and to forward the garment hanger to an unloading station. The garment hanger handling device is provided with a linear actuator adapted to move the gripping tool in a vertical direction and a rotational actuator adapted to rotate the gripping tool around a vertical axis. The gripping tool is adapted to position the garment hanger in a predefined rotational and vertical position at the mounting station in dependency of an input signal. A position where a garment is applied on a garment hanger can be adapted to the length of the operator, type of hanger, and garment. The position can be adjusted for each mounting cycle.
