Hanging Assembly for Footwear Storage

Abstract

The present invention describes a boot hanger assembly that provides a place for the storage and concealment of footwear. The assembly has a shroud and an elongate plastic chain that is hung from an elevated platform such as a wall, ceiling, or an existing rod. Hooks are hung from along the length of a plastic chain that enables boots or other footwear to be hung. This provides for a way to free up closet space while also organizing a person's footwear. The assembly also has a decorative shroud that covers the hanging footwear. The shroud functions to conceal the contents of the assembly, provide a protective barrier from environmental contaminants, as well as add to the aesthetic value of the assembly.

I claim:

 a set of chain links connected together;   a set of clamps, each having a pair of jaws;   a shroud adapted to reduce contact between the surrounding environment and contents attached by said clamps;   wherein said shroud is attached to a proximal end of said chain links and unattached at a distal end of said chain links.   
     
     
         2 ) The hanging footwear assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the shroud has a closure means. 
     
     
         3 ) The hanging footwear assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said clamps are attached to said chain links by attachment hooks. 
     
     
         4 ) The hanging footwear assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said clamps are spaced at intervals along said chain link.
