Multi-position hangers and related methods
A multi-position hanger is disclosed. The hanger comprises a hook member with a hook portion and a stem portion, a wishbone rotatably attached to the stem portion, and a pants bar rigidly attached to the wishbone. The wishbone comprises first and second arms and a hook-shaped slot defining first and second end surfaces facing a front lateral face of the wishbone. The stem portion of the hook member extends through and is translatable within the hook-shaped slot. The wishbone and the pants bar are selectively repositionable with respect to the hook member when the hook portion hangs on a support between a kick out orientation of the hanger with the pants bar positioned at a first lateral position with respect to a centerline extending vertically downward from the wishbone, and a nested orientation with the pants bar positioned at a second lateral position with respect to the centerline.
Portable apparel drying assemblies and methods of use
Portable assemblies and methods for drying apparel, for example, footwear or gloves, are provided. The assemblies include a housing; projections or pegs pivotally mounted to or inserted into the housing, the projections each having an inlet, an outlet, an internal passage communicating the inlet to the outlet, and the projections can be oriented in a position adapted to receive the apparel; and a source of air having an outlet in fluid communication with the inlets of the projections. The assemblies may include a handle or strap for transporting the assemblies. The air may be provided by a fan or blower, and may be heated. The projections can be pivotally mounted in different directions and extend and retract into the housing. The retracted projection may be flush with the surface of the housing when not in use.

UNDERGARMENT AND SWIMWEAR ORGANIZER DEVICE
A device for organizing and/or displaying garments comprises a support body and at least three protrusions extending from the support body. The garments have a waistband, a front portion and a rear strip connecting the waistband to the front portion. The front portion and the rear strip define a crotch section. The support body defines a peripheral edge and front and rear faces. The three protrusions provide for mounting the garment thereto with the garment extending between the three protrusions along one of the front and rear faces. Two of the three protrusions receive the waistband thereon and a third protrusion receives the crotch section.

GARMENT HANGER WITH ROUNDED ENDS FOR IMPROVED CLOTHES STORAGE
A garment hanger with a unique curved profile that better accommodates the natural shape of a garment in order to prevent unsightly bumps from being formed in the fabric of the garment due to the fabric being stretched while hanging. The improved clothes hanger, as presently claimed, allows garments to be stored on the improved clothes hanger for a longer period of time without fear of stretching. The improved clothes hanger is manufactured of a single molded piece of plastic material, or other suitable, moldable, inexpensive material that will support the weight of a garment.
HANGER FOR PREVENTING THE REVERSE FLOW OF CLOTHS WITH ADJUSTABLE HANGING PRESSURE AND HANGING DEVICE FOR PREVENTING THE REVERSE FLOW OF CLOTHS WHICH USES THE SAME
A hanger for preventing reverse flow includes: a body; a pair of supports extending from the body, being apart from each other, and forming a gripping portion housing the cloth inserted in a forward direction; a hanging pressure adjusting piece extending from at least one of the body and the pair of supports; a reverse flow preventing piece obliquely extending towards the body from one of the pair of supports and the hanging pressure adjusting piece and having an extending end that elastically faces the other one of the pair of supports and the hanging pressure adjusting piece; and a hanging pressure adjusting piece projection formed on at least one of the body and the pair of supports so that the hanging pressure adjusting piece is hung thereon to adjust elasticity of the reverse flow preventing piece. When the cloth housed in the gripping portion flows in a reverse direction, a surface of the cloth is folded and secured to an end of the reverse flow preventing piece, and thus, flow of the cloth in the reverse direction is prevented.
WETSUIT WASHING DEVICE
A first irrigation assembly includes a base plate having an upwardly curved sidewall and a planar annular peripheral flange. Spray outlets on the upwardly curved sidewall provide liquid spray to exterior portions of a wetsuit at a plurality of spray angles. Spray outlets on the annular peripheral flange provide liquid spray to exterior portions of the wetsuit at spray angles different from the spray angles of the spray outlets on the upwardly curved sidewall. A second irrigation assembly includes first and second curved pipes and an upper piping arrangement having major external surfaces. First and second flow junctions provide fluid flow connection between the curved pipes and the upper piping arrangement. Spray outlets arranged along the major external surfaces of the curved pipes and the upper piping arrangement provide liquid spray to upper and lower interior rear and front portions of the wetsuit.

CLOTHING HANGER APPARATUS
A clothing hanger apparatus may include a hanger frame member extending from a first end to a second end. The hanger frame member may include a hanger portion and a securing portion. The hanger portion may include a hook member configured to engage a hanger rod. The clothing hanger apparatus may include a hanger body that defines at least one aperture configured to operably engage the hanger frame member. The hanger body includes a first portion and a second portion, and the first portion may be disposed entirely on one side of a hook centerline defined by the hook member of the hanger frame member.
