Hanger

Abstract

Left-hand side and right-hand side retaining bodies 2 each have a pair of retaining portions that are disposed substantially in parallel in a bifurcated manner, and end points of the retaining portions are disposed so as to face each other. An upper end portion of a lower garment such as trousers is held between the bifurcated retaining portions, and the retaining portions are inserted through belt loop portions of a lower-body garment such as trousers, thus enabling the lower-body garment to be retained by the retaining bodies and thereby be hung. As a result, a lower-body garment such as trousers can be easily hung in a stable manner without wrinkles being formed therein.

       5 . The hanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the retaining portion has a function of preventing the retaining portion from slipping out from a belt loop portion.  
   
   
       6 . The hanger according to  claim 2 , wherein the retaining portion has a function of preventing the retaining portion from slipping out from a belt loop portion.  
   
   
       7 . The hanger according to  claim 3 , wherein the retaining portion has a function of preventing the retaining portion from slipping out from a belt loop portion.  
   
   
       8 . The hanger according to  claim 4 , wherein the retaining portion has a function of preventing the retaining portion from slipping out from a belt loop portion.  
   
   
       9 . The hanger according to  claim 1 , wherein a holding function is additionally imposed on the retaining portion of each of the left-hand side and right-hand side retaining bodies.  
   
   
       10 . The hanger according to  claim 2 , wherein a holding function is additionally imposed on the retaining portion of each of the left-hand side and right-hand side retaining bodies.  
   
   
       11 . The hanger according to  claim 3 , wherein a holding function is additionally imposed on the retaining portion of each of the left-hand side and right-hand side retaining bodies.  
   
   
       12 . The hanger according to  claim 4 , wherein a holding function is additionally imposed on the retaining portion of each of the left-hand side and right-hand side retaining bodies.  
   
   
       13 . The hanger according to  claim 5 , wherein a holding function is added to the retaining portion of each of the leftward and rightward retaining bodies.  
   
   
       14 . The hanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the base body functions as an upper-body garment retaining portion that can retain and hang an upper-body garment.  
   
   
       15 . The hanger according to  claim 2 , wherein the base body functions as an upper-body garment retaining portion that can retain and hang an upper-body garment.
