A hanger is provided which supports long garments securely and easily in half or less length than the garment would occupy hanging on a conventional hanger. Such a garment hanger comprises: a primary support including a hook and elements arranged to suspend a top portion of a garment; an auxiliary support including a bar for suspending the bottom portion of the garment, shortening a total length of the garment thus supported; and the primary support and the auxiliary support including cooperative, non-locking elements detachably suspending the auxiliary support from the primary support with the bar close to the primary support.

A clothespin with two clipping actions has a distal closure end and a proximal lever end. The distal closure end is either spring-actuated or drawn closed by elastic band; and a proximal, lever end has a slide-and-catch mechanism that allows the clothespin to be slid upwardly and secured upon a provided structure such as a line, cord, rod or hanger.

A clothing hanger includes a base member, a rotatable hook connectable to the base member, first and second arm members connectable to the base member, first and second support members connectable to the first and second arm members, and first and second support cover members connectable to the first and second support members.

A garment hanger includes a hook and an arm. The hook is configured to receive a support rod, and the arm is coupled to the hook and extends outwardly to a free arm end. The arm includes a first substantially planar panel and a top panel extending rearwardly from a top edge of the first substantially planar panel. The arm further includes an indentation and a finger. The indentation is defined adjacent the first substantially planar panel to be at least partially open in a direction facing away from the first substantially planar panel. The indentation defines an outermost edge nearest the free arm end and an innermost end nearest the hook. The finger extends from one of the outermost edge and the innermost edge of the indentation toward the other and is configured to hold a portion of a garment within the indentation.

Constituent elements of a clothes hanger comprising one or more planar segments (1, 3) that can be assembled to form a clothes hanger for suspending a garment, the assembly typically involving folding the one or more planar segments and fixing them together, the fixing means (1A, 1B; 2A, 2B; 3A, 3B; 4A, 4B; 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B; 7A, 7B; 8A, 8B) including glue or tabs, wings etc. The clothes hanger may employ planar or tubular grippers hanger tubes for forming or bulking out arms of the hanger, etc. Manufacturing methods are also provided for manufacturing a clothes hanger.

It is a clip for hangers, to be applied to a bar (1, 1), said clip having a pair of opposed blades (2, 3), reciprocally connected by means of an elastic element (4) with opposed sides (5, 6) and curved nails (5, 6) being insertable into a recess (8) present in each of the blades (2, 3). Said elastic element (4) pushes the lower end of the blades (2, 3) into reciprocal contact. It is provided that: the elastic element (4) is substantially U-shaped and each of the blades (2, 3) is composed of a first internal element (2, 3) and of a second external element (2, 3), superimposable on the first one to constitute said blade (2, 3); respectively the elements (2, 3) and the corresponding elements (2, 3) are identical to each other; each of the elements (2, 3) has identical shapes and dimensions to the elements (2, 3) and each of the elements (2, 3) is perfectly superimposable on each of the elements (2, 3); the elastic element (4) presents its opposite sides (5, 6) with at least one section that overlaps a portion (30) of the elements (2, 3) before the curved nail (5, 6) is inserted in the recess (8).

The clip is formed of resilient plastic material and includes first and second parts pivotally connected by a connecting member. Each of the parts includes a gripping portion and a locking portion. Each of the gripping portions includes first and second connected portions, at least one of which has a gripping surface. A locking part is pivotally mounted to one of the locking portions for movement relative to the other locking portion between locked and unlocked positions. The locking part is adapted to engage the other of the locking portions in the locking position. Movement of the locking part toward the locked position causes the gripping surfaces to move toward each other to retain the article therebetween.

A clothes drying hanger may comprise a main body, a plurality of clothespins, and a plurality of spacers. The main body has a first bar and a second bar which are parallel and spaced apart by a preferred distance, and at least two supporting bars are secured therebetween. A shifting board, which is parallel with the second bar, is movably abutted between an inner surface of the second bar and two ends of the two supporting bars close to the second bar. A handle is connected to an outer surface of the second bar through two parallel connecting rods which further penetrate through the second bar to connect to the shifting board such that through pressing the handle, the connecting rods can drive the shifting board to have parallel shift toward the first bar, thereby simultaneously releasing all of the clothes hanged on the clothespins by a single action.
