Multi-Hook Adjustable Door Hanger

Abstract

An over-the-door hanger with multiple, telescoping hooks is disclosed. The invention having a plurality of hooks slidably connected by means of connector couplings with interlocking tabs therein. The telescoping function allowing a user to setup a multitude of hooks or collapse them down into a single hook while hanging from the top of a door. An object of the invention is to allow a user the option of having different numbers of hooks on a door at different times based on what needs to be hung at a particular time.

Claims

1. An over-the-door hanger adapted to be placed on top of and extend over portions of both sides of a door comprising: a.) a generally U-shaped bracket b.) a plurality of telescoping hook segments

2. The telescoping hook segments of claim 1 having raised portions on one side allowing the segments to be slidably inserted into one another.

3. The telescoping hook segments of claim 1 having raised portions with teeth and interlocking tabs allowing them to be selectively positioned at a varietal of lengths.

[0010] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the invention being used on a door.

[0011] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the invention extended.

[0012] FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the invention compressed.

[0013] FIG. 4 shows a side view of the invention compressed and extended.

[0014] FIG. 5 shows a perspective rear view of the connector couplings with interlocking tabs.

[0015] Other aspects of the present invention shall be more readily understood when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the following detailed description, neither of which should be considered limiting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES

[0016] In this description, the directional prepositions of up, upwardly, down, downwardly, front, back, top, upper, bottom, lower, left, right and other such terms refer to the device as it is oriented and appears in the drawings and are used for convenience only; they are not intended to be limiting or to imply that the device has to be used or positioned in any particular orientation.

[0017] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the invention being used on a door. The invention having four main parts. A first part being a U-shaped bracket 1 having a planar rectangular shape made of a rigid material such as but not limited to metal, plastic and the like. A distal end of said U-shaped bracket 1 having an end configured to receive a conventional door. A second part being a planar hook 2 having raised portions 5 configured to receive U-shaped bracket 1 therein and allowing it to be slidably inserted therein. A second and third part also being planar hooks 2 and 3 having raised portions 5, 6 and 7 configured to receive said planar hooks 1 and 2 therein and allowing them to be slidably inserted therein. Said second and third parts also being made of a rigid material such as, but not limited to plastic, metal and the like.

[0018] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the invention extended with hooks 3 and 4 extended below hook 2. In another embodiment, U-shaped bracket 1 also being adjustable. In other embodiments the invention having a plurality of hooks therein.

[0019] FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the invention compressed with hooks 2, 3 and 4 being selectively and slidably adjusted therein.

[0020] FIG. 4 shows a side view of the invention compressed and extended. The figure showing hooks 2, 3 and 4 being compressed into a single hook and being selectively affixed therein by means of connector couplings with interlocking tabs (to be presented in the next figure).

[0021] FIG. 5 shows a perspective rear view of the connector couplings with interlocking tabs 8 and 9 that allow a user to adjust hooks 2,3 and 4 by grasping the area of the invention facing a door. Each of the aforementioned raised portions 5 and 6 being positioned distal to said hooks 2, 3 and 4 and having a plurality of teeth sections 10 configured to receive said interlocking tabs 8 and 9 therein. Said interlocking tabs 8 and 9 being selectively interlocked with said teeth sections 10 when a user pulls a hook along the longitudinal axis distal to hook 1 allowing interlocking tabs 8 and 9 to engage the smaller apertures of said teeth sections 10 therebetween. Each of said hooks 2, 3 and 4 being selectively disengaged by a user pushing hooks along the longitudinal axis proximal to hook 1 allowing interlocking tabs 8 and 9 to be disengaged from teeth sections 10. In other embodiments, the invention having the aforementioned interlocking tabs 8 and 9 and teeth sections 10 disposed along the lateral plane of the raised portions 5, 6 and 7 allowing a user to grasp the sides of the invention to adjust said hooks 2, 3 and 4 thereon.

[0022] It is additionally noted and anticipated that although the device is shown in its most simple form, various components and aspects of the device may be differently shaped or slightly modified when forming the invention herein. As such those skilled in the art will appreciate the descriptions and depictions set forth in this disclosure or merely meant to portray examples of preferred modes within the overall scope and intent of the invention, and are not to be considered limiting in any manner. While all of the fundamental characteristics and features of the invention have been shown and described herein, with reference to particular embodiments thereof, a latitude of modification, various changes and substitutions are intended in the foregoing disclosure and it will be apparent that in some instances, some features of the invention may be employed without a corresponding use of other features without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth. It should also be understood that various substitutions, modifications, and variations may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
