Adjustable width garment hanging device

An adjustable width garment hanging device for adjustable width hanging of garments of varying widths includes a tube with a curved center section. A hook coupled to a center point of the tube defines a pair of arms of the tube. Each of the arms has a plurality of penetrations positioned proximate to a respective opposing end of the tube. Each of a pair of rods is positioned in a respective one of the arms. The rods each have a cavity positioned proximate to a respective straight end. Each of a pair of springs is positioned in a respective one of the cavities. Each of a pair of balls, complimentary to the springs and the penetrations, is in contact with a respective one of the springs. Each of a pair of stops is coupled to a respective one of the opposing ends of the tube.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Field of the Disclosure

The disclosure relates to garment hanging devices and more particularly pertains to a new garment hanging device for adjustable width hanging of garments of varying widths.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a tube with a curved center section. A hook coupled to a center point of the tube defines a pair of arms of the tube. Each of the arms has a plurality of penetrations positioned proximate to a respective opposing end of the tube. Each of a pair of rods is positioned in a respective one of the arms. The rods each have a cavity positioned proximate to a respective straight end. Each of a pair of springs is positioned in a respective one of the cavities. Each of a pair of balls, complimentary to the springs and the penetrations, is in contact with a respective one of the springs. Each of a pair of stops is coupled to a respective one of the opposing ends of the tube.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 5, the adjustable width garment hanging device10generally comprises a tube12with a curved center section14. A hook16that defines a pair of arms18of the tube12is coupled to a center point20of the tube12. Preferably, the hook16is rotationally coupled to the center point20. Each of the arms18has a plurality of penetrations22positioned proximate to a respective opposing end24of the tube12. The penetrations22are positioned in a bottom face26of the tube12. Each of the pluralities of penetrations22comprises of between two and ten penetrations positioned linearly. Preferably, each of the pluralities of penetrations22comprises between four and eight penetrations positioned linearly. More preferably, each of the pluralities of penetrations22comprises six penetrations positioned linearly. The penetrations22of each the pluralities of penetrations22are spaced at 0.5 to 2.5 centimeters. Preferably, the penetrations22of each the pluralities of penetrations22are spaced at 0.75 to 1.75 centimeters. More preferably, the penetrations22of each the pluralities of penetrations22are spaced at 1.27 centimeters.

Each of the arms18has a channel28that extends between the penetrations22of a respective one of the pluralities of penetrations22. Each of a pair of rods30is positioned in a respective one of the arms18. Each of the rods30has a cavity32positioned proximate to a respective straight end34. Each of the rods30also has a curved end36that extends from the tube12transversely to the hook16. Each of a pair of springs38is positioned in a respective one of the cavities32. The device10also comprises a pair of balls40that is complimentary to the springs38and the penetrations22. Each of the balls40is in contact with a respective one of the springs38and positioned in a respective one of the channels28, such that rotational movement of a respective one of the rods30is prevented. Each of a pair of stops42is coupled to a respective one of the opposing ends24of the tube. The stops42comprise a pair of caps44, with each of the caps44coupled to a respective one of the opposing ends24, such that the stop42engages a respective one of the balls40to prevent a respective one of the rods30from being pulled from the tube12.

In use, each spring38applies pressure to a respective one of the balls40, engaging the ball40in the penetration22until pressure is applied to the ball40by the user, allowing the rod30to be repositioned in the tube12.
