DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] In FIGS. 1-3, the following reference numerals are indicated: [0011] 10Hanger [0012] 12hanger base [0013] 14hammerhead hook [0014] 16rod [0015] 18attachment part

[0016] FIG. 1 illustrates a hanger with the adjustable portion in open-perpendicular position.

[0017] A hook is attached to a hanger base of the hanger at a top. The hook is intended to allow for the hanger to store clothes or dry clothes. I believe the hook is intended to suspend the other components of the hanger along with the garment. Also, to be optimized for both closet and door frames.

[0018] In a first preferred embodiment, there is a single adjustable piece attached to both sides of the hanger base.

[0019] The adjustable piece is configured to be adjustable between a closed position parallel to the plane of the hanger base and an open position perpendicular to the plane of the hanger base on the first side of the hanger base. The adjustable piece is also configured to be adjustable between a closed position parallel to the plane of the hanger base and an open position perpendicular to the plane of the hanger base on the second side of the hanger base.

[0020] FIG. 2 illustrates a hanger with adjustable portion in closed parallel position.

[0021] The adjustable piece can be configured to be adjustable by snapping into the closed position and the open position, for example if the parts are manufactured in shapes and materials that are conducive to snapping.

[0022] The adjustable piece can also be configured to be adjustable by rotating attached to the hanger base. For example, there could be a lock, and the weight of the clothes themselves can rotate the hanger base. The weight of the clothes themselves can keep the hanger in the correct position.

[0023] FIG. 3 illustrates an exploded view.

[0024] The hanger according to the present invention consists of 4 parts.

[0025] The first part is detachable hammerhead hook which inserts into an opening at the top of a central base.

[0026] The second part is a central base extending outward from the hook, which could be in a straight triangle or curved elliptical fashion.

[0027] The third part is a rod connecting two sides of the central base and inserting into openings thereon.

[0028] The fourth part is an adjustable piece attached to the first side of the hanger base and attached to the second side of the hanger base.

[0029] The illustrations of embodiments described herein are intended to provide a general understanding of the structure of various embodiments, and they are not intended to serve as a complete description of all the elements and features of apparatus and systems that might make use of the structures described herein. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description. Other embodiments may be utilized and derived therefrom, such that structural and logical substitutions and changes may be made without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Figures are also merely representational and may not be drawn to scale. Certain proportions thereof may be exaggerated, while others may be minimized. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. Thus, although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it should be appreciated that any arrangement calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown. This disclosure is intended to cover any and all adaptations or variations of various embodiments. Combinations of the above embodiments, and other embodiments not specifically described herein, will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description. Therefore, it is intended that the disclosure not be limited to the particular embodiment(s) disclosed.

[0030] In particular, there are a variety of other manners in which the adjustable piece can be configured to switch between closed position parallel to the plane of the hanger base and an open position perpendicular to the plane of the hanger base. The present disclosure does not intend to limit the manners in which the switching may be accomplished.
