Garment Clip

Abstract

Provided is a garment clip for coupling to a garment hanger having a pair of pivotally connected opposing clip members and a curved loop with an aperture in which the garment hanger hook can be inserted. The curved loop provides a heart like shape having a pointed end. The hook of the hanger can rest within the aperture of the curved loop forming a space between the garment clip and the garment hanger, thus allowing a first garment to be applied to the garment hanger and a second garment to be applied to the garment clip. The garment clip may be preferably used to hang floor length garments, wherein the user can clamp top and bottom portions of the garment to maintain it in a neat, suspended and folded manner.

1 . A garment clip comprising:
 a first clip member pivotally attached to at least one second clip member;   wherein said first clip member and said at least one second clip member are adapted to pivot between an open configuration and a closed configuration;   each of said first clip member and said at least one second clip member comprising a top end and a bottom end;   each of said bottom end of said first clip member and said bottom end of said at least one second clip member having a clamp portion;   said top end of said first clip member having a curved loop with a centrally located opening;   said opening adapted to receive a hook portion of a garment hanger therethrough.   
     
     
         2 . The garment clip of  claim 1 , wherein said opening of said curved loop comprises a substantially heart-like shape. 
     
     
         3 . The garment clip of  claim 1 , wherein each of said clamp portion of said first clip member and said clamp portion of said at least one second clip member comprises a substantially triangular shape. 
     
     
         4 . The garment clip of  claim 1 , wherein each of said clamp portion of said first clip member and said clamp portion of said at least one second clip member comprises a substantially bell shape. 
     
     
         5 . The garment clip of  claim 1 , wherein said curved loop is tilted at an angle relative to said first clip member. 
     
     
         6 . The garment clip of  claim 1 , wherein said clamp portion of said first clip member directly contacts said clamp portion of said at least one second clip member in said closed configuration, wherein said top end of said at least one second clip member directly contacts said first clip member when in said open configuration. 
     
     
         7 . The garment clip of  claim 1 , wherein said first clip member is pivotally attached to said at least one second clip member at a central portion thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The garment clip of  claim 1 , wherein said first clip member is pivotally attached to said at least one second clip member by means of at least one spring-biased hinge adapted to maintain the clip in a closed configuration. 
     
     
         9 . The garment clip of  claim 8 , said at least one second clip member being a pair of second clip members arranged adjacent to one another, said pair of second clip members being independent of one another and being independently pivotally attached to said at least one spring-biased hinge, wherein said at least one spring-biased hinge is a pair of spring biased hinges. 
     
     
         10 . The garment clip of  claim 1 , wherein said clamp portion of said first clip member and of said second clip member comprises ridges thereon for grasping a garment.
