Hanger for clothing made of plastic with reinforced rigidity

Abstract

The invention relates to a hanger for clothing, made of injection-molded plastic, comprising a hanging hook for hanging said hanger from a support external to the hanger and which comprises a head and a base, a carrying body for supporting at least one item of clothing, comprising at least a first and a second arm that extend substantially in the same longitudinal direction, but with opposite orientations, the hook and the two arms being made overall as one piece defining substantially the same plane. The arms comprise a distal end and a proximal end, the distal ends of the two arms being joined directly to the base of the hook by branching. The arms and the hook have a hollow section comprising at least one end wall and two legs that are oriented substantially transversely to the plane of the hanger. The section is inscribed within a non-angular shape.

1 . A hanger for clothing, made of injection-molded plastic, comprising: 
 a hanging hook for hanging said hanger from a support external to the hanger and which comprises a head and a base,    a carrying body for supporting at least one item of clothing, comprising at least a first and a second arm that extend substantially in the same longitudinal direction, but with opposite orientations, the hook and the two arms being made overall as one piece defining substantially the same plane,    each of the first and second arms comprises a distal end and a proximal end, the distal ends of the two arms being joined to the base of the hook, and    the first and second arms having a hollow cross section and comprising an end wall and two legs that are oriented substantially transversely to the plane of the hanger,    wherein the hook has the same hollow cross section as the first and second arms, i.e. comprising an end wall and two legs, and said hollow cross section of the hook is joined to the distal ends of the two arms, respectively, in a continuous manner, by branching.    
     
     
         2 . The hanger for clothing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hollow section has two other wings each extending from one of the legs so as to define a W, such that the hanger comprises a front face with one groove and a rear face with two grooves.  
     
     
         3 . The hanger for clothing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hollow section is inscribed within a non-angular shape, chosen from among oval, round or rounded-square shapes.  
     
     
         4 . The hanger for clothing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the dimensions of the hollow section vary without interruption in a first direction, lying in the plane of the hanger, and/or in a second direction running in a direction transverse to the plane of the hanger, such that the hanger has a reinforced cross section in the areas subjected to higher stresses.  
     
     
         5 . The hanger for clothing as claimed in  claim 1 , which further comprises a transverse bar running between the proximal ends of the arms, made as one piece with these arms.  
     
     
         6 . The hanger for clothing as claimed in  claim 1 , which further comprises a rib linking the first and second arms, near their distal ends.
