A hanging device and methods of making the hanging device are shown and described herein. The hanging device may be a hook or a hanging device. The hanging device comprises: a) a first outer liner; b) at least one inner layer; and c) a second outer liner. For the hanging device, the first outer liner is at least partially disposed on the at least one inner layer and the second outer liner is at least partially disposed on the at least one inner layer, and the first outer liner, the at least one inner layer, and the second outer liner are laminated together. The hanging device may be comprised of a biobased material and/or a recycled material. The hanging device may be biodegradable.

A clothes hanger for disabled or height restricted people with a hook which flexes or moves at the tip when the hanger is pulled downward to enable clearance of the rail pole. This movement is aided by a pivot pin and a spring mechanism; as is a collapsing horizontal bar section for leg wear derived of two equal sections with magnetic closure holding mechanism.

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 hanger spacer tape device having a flexible elongated body and a plurality of bumps or protrusions formed on one side thereof. The hanger spacer tape device allows hangers to be spaced at intervals and stay aligned to provide effective and efficient organization of hangers and can be coiled onto itself. The hanger spacer tape device can also include an adhesive and parallel troughs formed along a length of the hanger spacer tape device.

In selected examples, a hanger couples to an electrically-powered garment, to provide electrical energy to the garment to recharge the battery of the garment. The electrical energy may be transferred from the hanger to the garment using inductive coupling. The electrical energy may also or instead be transferred using contact coupling facilitated by magnet(s) in the interfaces of the hanger system and the garment. The garment may include biometric, environmental, and other sensors to collect data. The hanger system-garment interfaces may provide for data flow between the hanger and the garment. In selected examples, a smart garment may be controlled by a smartphone or another mobile device. The smartphone may control several smart garments, which may be connected in series and/or in parallel, with one of the smart garments being a master connected to the smartphone, and the other garments being slave garments connected to the smartphone through the master.

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 disclosure relates to a clothing treatment apparatus comprising: a cabinet having an input hole formed on one surface thereof; a clothing treatment chamber positioned inside the cabinet so as to accommodate clothing; a hanger part including hangers on which the clothing is hung; and a back-and-forth moving part for generating rotating force in order to move the hanger part back and forth, wherein the hanger part and the back-and-forth moving part are horizontally coupled.

A luggage system having a removable decorative storage crown for receiving and temporarily storing clothing items, such as suit jackets, uniforms, costumes, or other items using the same device that is used as a pull-handle. A stand element can be unfolded from the base of the luggage to act as a support, preventing the device from tipping when in a clothing rack orientation, but which can simply fold away when the luggage is being transported. A telescoping rod terminating in a cap may extend from the decorative storage crown for hanging hangers from the rod.

A foldable garment hanger is disclosed which includes a hook which can be folded relative to the garment supporting portion by virtue of a hinge. A size marker is attached to a connecting portion which joins the hook to the garment support portion and includes the hinge. When the size marker straddles the hinge the connecting portion is held rigid thereby fixing the hook relative to the garment support portion. Preferably the size marker is slidable to expose the hinge thereby allowing the hanger to be easily moved between an erect display condition and a folded transportation condition.
