Garment drying hanger

Abstract

A sturdy and inexpensive garment drying hanger apparatus used for drying multiple items of lingerie, bathing suits, delicate articles of clothing, and similar items in an efficient space and manner. The garment drying hanger comprises a central hook and upper and lower support bars that run parallel and are joined by side vertical support bars that slope downward from top to bottom. Attached to the upper and lower support bars are multiple hooks extending in opposite directions from which multiple items of clothing can be hung in spatial relationship to one another in order to allow maximum separation and air flow to accommodate drying of wet clothes.

1 . A hanger for holding articles of clothing comprising:
 (a) An elongated body member of lightweight material having an upper horizontal support that slopes downward from the center toward a generally straight lower horizontal support of greater length than said upper support bar joining a left vertical support and a right vertical support of equal lengths that slope downward from said upper support bar to said lower support bar;   (b) a central hook member extending upward from the approximate center of said upper support bar with said central hook containing a curved neck region and a U-shaped end;   (c) multiple upper hook members with upward curvatures extending outward and perpendicular to said upper horizontal support and multiple lower hook members extending outward and perpendicular to said lower support bar in the opposite plane from said upper hook members.   
   
   
       2 . The garment drying hanger according to  claim 1  wherein said upper support bar forms a pentagonal cavity beneath the area where said central hook member extends upward from said upper support bar having a base support that runs parallel to said lower support bar, two side arms that slope upward away from said base, and two curved upper arms that join said side arms to said central hook member. 
   
   
       3 . The garment drying hanger according to  claim 2  wherein said lower support bar contains four lower hook members equally spaced and extending outward and perpendicular to said lower support bar and said upper support bar contains three upper hook members extending outward and perpendicular to said upper support bar in a plane opposite from said four lower hook members with all said lower hook members and upper hook members possessing an upward curvature.
