Adjustable clothes hanger assembly

Abstract

An adjustable clothes hanger assembly for adjusting a width of a clothes hanger includes a clothes hanger that is releasably suspended from a support. A pair of extensions is provided and each of the extensions is slidably coupled to the clothes hanger. Each of the extensions is positionable to extend a selectable distance away from the clothes hanger such that the clothes hanger has an adjustable width. In this way the clothes hanger can accommodate a variety of clothing sizes.

         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein each of said second members has an outwardly facing surface, said outwardly facing surface of each of said second members having a plurality of bumps thereon, said bumps on each of said second members being spaced apart from each other and being distributed from said a point being adjacent to said first member toward said hook, said plurality of bumps on each of said second members including a first bump, a second bump and a third bump. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein each of said extensions comprises a first panel extending between a pair of second panels, said second panels associated with each of said extensions being spaced apart from each other such that each of said extensions forms a channel for receiving a respective one of said second members of said clothes hanger. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein each of said extensions has a third panel extending between each of said second panels to define a box on each of said extensions, said box on each of said extensions extending from a first end of said extension along said channel, said first end of each of said extensions being closed. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein said first end of each of said extensions has an aperture extending therethrough, said aperture in each of said extensions having one of said second members of said clothes hanger being associated therewith, said aperture in each of said extensions having said associated second member extending therethrough such that each of said extensions is slidably retained on said clothes hanger. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein said first panel of each of said extensions has a bottom surface extending between said second panels, said bottom surface of said first panel of each of said extensions having a detent thereon, said detent on each of said extensions having a respective one of said second panels of said clothes hanger being associated therewith. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly according to  claim 7 , wherein said detent on each of said extensions releasably engages a selected one of said first, second and third bumps on said associated second member. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein each of said extensions extends a minimum distance laterally away from said associated second panel when said detent in each of said extensions releasably engages said first bump on said associated second member wherein said clothes hanger is configured to accommodate small clothing. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein each of said extensions extends a medium distance laterally away from said associated second panel when said detent in each of said extensions releasably engages said second bump on said associated second member wherein said clothes hanger is configured to accommodate medium sized clothing. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly according to  claim 10 , wherein each of said extensions extends a maximum distance laterally away from said associated second panel when said detent in each of said extensions releasably engages said third bump on said associated second member wherein said clothes hanger is configured to accommodate large sized clothing. 
     
     
         12 . An adjustable clothes hanger assembly being configured to accommodate a variety of clothing sizes, said assembly comprising:
 a clothes hanger being releasably suspended from a support, said clothes hanger having a first member extending between a pair of second panels, said second panels intersecting each other such that said clothes hanger has a triangular shape, said clothes hanger including a hook extending upwardly from an intersection between said second panels, said hook curving downwardly toward said intersection thereby facilitating said hook to engage the support, each of said second panels having an outwardly facing surface, said outwardly facing surface of each of said second members having a plurality of bumps thereon, said bumps on each of said second members being spaced apart from each other and being distributed from said a point being adjacent to said first member toward said hook, said plurality of bumps on each of said second members including a first bump, a second bump and a third bump; and   a pair of extensions, each of said extensions being slidably coupled to said clothes hanger, each of said extensions being positionable to extend a selectable distance away from said clothes hanger such that said clothes hanger has an adjustable width wherein said clothes hanger is configured to accommodate a variety of clothing sizes, each of said extensions comprising a first panel extending between a pair of second panels, said second panels associated with each of said extensions being spaced apart from each other such that each of said extensions forms a channel for receiving a respective one of said second members of said clothes hanger, each of said extensions having a third panel extending between each of said second panels to define a box on each of said extensions, said box on each of said extensions extending from a first end of said extension along said channel, said first end of each of said extensions being closed, said first end of each of said extensions having an aperture extending therethrough, said aperture in each of said extensions having one of said second members of said clothes hanger being associated therewith, said aperture in each of said extensions having said associated second member extending therethrough such that each of said extensions is slidably retained on said clothes hanger, said first panel of each of said extensions having a bottom surface extending between said second panels, said bottom surface of said first panel of each of said extensions having a detent thereon, said detent on each of said extensions having a respective one of said second members of said clothes hanger being associated therewith, said detent on each of said extensions releasably engaging a selected one of said first, second and third bumps on said associated second member, each of said extensions extending a minimum distance laterally away from said associated second member when said detent in each of said extensions releasably engages said first bump on said associated second member wherein said clothes hanger is configured to accommodate small clothing, each of said extensions extending a medium distance laterally away from said associated second member when said detent in each of said extensions releasably engages said second bump on said associated second member wherein said clothes hanger is configured to accommodate medium sized clothing, each of said extensions extending a maximum distance laterally away from said associated second member when said detent in each of said extensions releasably engages said third bump on said associated second panel wherein said clothes hanger is configured to accommodate large sized clothing.
