Clothes hanger having finger hooks

Abstract

In principle, disclosed is a clothes hanger apparatus, comprising some form of a formed supporting body member adapted for conforming to the approximate shape of a piece of clothing capable of being worn by a person, including a right and a left shoulder support convening at a yoke, including an upwardly extending closet rod hook depending upwardly from a neck on the yoke such that the hanger can be suspended from a horizontal closet rod; and a separate finger hook support distal from the closet rod hook extending outwardly from the body member, thereby creating a passageway for fingers of an operator to engage the clothes hanger without pinching fingers when picking up the hanger. In addition, like any conventional clothes hanger, a horizontal bar may optionally extend horizontally between the two shoulder supports.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A clothes hanger apparatus, comprising:
 A formed flexible supporting body member adapted for conforming to the approximate shape of a piece of clothing capable of being worn by a person, including a right and a left shoulder support convening at a yoke, an upwardly extending closet rod hook depending upwardly from a neck on the yoke such that the hanger can be suspended from a horizontal closet rod; and   a separate finger hook support distal from the closet rod hook extending outwardly from the body member, thereby creating a passageway for fingers of an operator to engage the clothes hanger without pinching fingers when picking up the hanger.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a horizontal bar extending horizontally between the two shoulder supports. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a separate finger hook support distal from the closet rod hook extending outwardly from the body member, wherein more than one hanger is capable of being lifted without pinching the fingers of the person doing the lifting. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an additional hook for supporting at least one additional separate supporting hanger from the clothes hanger. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a separate finger hook support located on top of the closet rod hook extending outwardly from the body member. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a metal wire hanger with an elongated portion of the metal wire that wraps back around itself down the neck of the hanger, such that a finger hook is provided without any sharp edges. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a formed plastic clothes hanger with a finger hook portion formed into the plastic. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the clothes hanger made be made from any suitable material, including metal wire, plastic, wood or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the clothes hanger may include a finger hook or grip portion located on the clothes hanger from the top of the yoke up to the closet rod hook portion.
