In accordance with various embodiments, clothes hanger clips are provided. In some embodiments, clips that can be attached to a clothes hanger are provided, the clips comprising: a first side having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein a first portion of the inner surface of the first side is covered with a first material that includes at least one of a silicone gel, a thermoplastic elastomer, and a polyether; a second side having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein a first portion of the inner surface of the second side is covered with a second material that includes at least one of a silicone gel, a thermoplastic elastomer, and a polyether; and a connector that couples an inner portion of the first side to an inner portion of the second side, wherein the clothes hanger is attached to the clip through the connector.

A spring for use in a garment hanger is disclosed. The hanger is of the type that includes a hook and a body with clips at either end of the arms of the body. The clips include a pair of clip portions between which the garment is clamped under the biasing for of a spring. The spring is generally U-shaped and has convex ribs both on the inner and outer services of its curvature. The ribs are located adjacent each other so that they form a sine-wave-like cross-section and are of sufficient depth that in their formation they causes the sides of the spring adjacent the ribs to be drawn inwards.

According to the invention there is a clip (10) comprising: a pair of opposed gripping portions (18, 20) each having a gripping surface (22, 24), each gripping portion being located on a clip half, wherein one clip half further includes a stop (40) space apart from the gripping portion which is engageable with a point spaced apart from the gripping portion on the other clip half.

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.

A hanging apparatus with a tension mechanism for selectively stretching and straightening hung articles.

A hanging apparatus with a tension mechanism for selectively stretching and straightening hung articles.

A hanger assembly includes a primary hanger, an auxiliary hanger, and a coupling member. The primary hanger includes a hook configured to selectively receive a support rod, a pair of arms coupled to the hook and extending outwardly therefrom to form two, opposite free arm ends. The pair of arms defines an interior coupling cavity extending into an interior of the pair of arms upwardly from bottom edges of the pair of arms. The auxiliary hanger is configured to support a garment. The coupling member defines a first end and a second end opposite and spaced from the first end. The first end of the coupling member includes a first clip selectively secured within the interior coupling cavity of the primary hanger substantially above the bottom edges of the pair of arms. The second end of the coupling member is secured to the auxiliary hanger.

A hanger apparatus may include a hook member made of a first material and including a hook portion and a hook member connection portion, and a body member made of a second material and including a body member connection portion flanked by support portions. The body member connection portion of the body member being releasably connectable to the hook member connection portion of the hook member.

Clothes hangers and clothes grippers are disclosed herein. One clothes hanger includes a first planar hanger profile piece including first and second hanger arms extending oppositely from a central portion and including respective pedestal portions folded upon the first and second hanger arms and the central portion, a second planar hanger profile piece including first and second hanger arms extending oppositely from a central portion, wherein the first and second planar hanger profile pieces are attached to one another with the planar pedestal portions disposed therebetween, the planar pedestal portions serving to space the first and second planar hanger profile pieces from one another.

The invention is a removable garment carrying accessory which fits inside of a luggage, receives a single or a plurality of garments, is comprised of a partially rigid flexible sheet, a hanger rod and clips to hold garments, straps to secure the garments to the said flexible sheet, and a hook to hang the accessory to a clothes rod. A cylindrical tube with garments rolled around it and a toiletry receptacle and miscellaneous items occupy the inner space of the said folded flexible sheet. The invention is designed to keep the garments substantially crease-free during travel by reducing the number of folds needed while packing the garments, make packing and unpacking a luggage quick, easy and efficient, and the said accessory to be readily usable with most luggages currently in the market thus avoiding any need to an buy entirely new luggage.
