The Hanging Tool

Abstract

A garment hanger is disclosed. The hanger comprises a body that includes at least one hook, two diagonal side legs, wherein the side legs may be of different lengths, and a horizontal bottom leg defining at least two notches. The elements of the hanger may be converged with one another at their respective ends using techniques for welding, adhesion, or the like, except the second end of one side leg remains detached. Alternatively, the entire body of the hanger, including all elements, may be formed in one continuous body using techniques for molding, stamping, three-dimensional printing, or the like.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hanger comprising:
 a continuous body, including:
 at least one hook; 
 a first side leg having a first end and a second end, wherein the first side leg converges with the hook at the first side leg's first end to form one continuous body; 
 a horizontal bottom leg defining at least two notches and including a first and a second end, wherein the horizontal bottom leg first end converges with the second end of the first diagonal leg forming a vertex; and 
 a second side leg having a first and a second end, wherein the first end of the second side leg converges with the second end of the horizontal bottom leg to form a vertex, the second side leg extending upward in the direction of the first side leg but not converging with the first side leg, 
   wherein the first side leg, second side leg, and the horizontal bottom leg define an open space.   
     
     
         2 . The hanger of  claim 1 , further including the hook, two diagonal side legs and the horizontal bottom leg converged with each other at their respective ends using molding, welding, or adhesion techniques. 
     
     
         3 . The hanger of  claim 1 , further including the hook, two diagonal side legs and the horizontal bottom leg being formed as one continuous body using means for laser cutting, molding, stamping, or three-dimensional printing. 
     
     
         4 . The hanger of  claim 1 , further including a horizontal bottom leg comprising a plurality of notches. 
     
     
         5 . The hanger of  claim 1  further including areas of intersection at the points of conversion between the side legs and the horizontal bottom leg forming vertices, wherein the hanger body adjacent the vertices has a larger width compared to that of the side and horizontal bottom legs. 
     
     
         6 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the second side leg includes one or more sections having varying slopes and wherein at least one section has a negative slope that defines an inwardly curved neck. 
     
     
         7 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the first side leg includes a first section having a negative slope that transitions at a second outwardly curved radius that transitions to a second section having a negative slope, wherein second section transitions to a third inwardly curved radius and the third radius converges with the horizontal bottom leg to form an angle. 
     
     
         8 . The hanger of  claim 7 , wherein the third radius and the bottom horizontal leg define a third section defining a width greater than the width of horizontal bottom leg and the width of second section. 
     
     
         9 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the hook includes a top horizontal portion. 
     
     
         10 . The hanger of  claim 9 , wherein the hook includes an inwardly rounded surface. 
     
     
         11 . A hanger, comprising:
 At least one hook;   A first diagonal side leg and a second diagonal side leg, each side leg having first and second ends, wherein the first side leg is longer longitudinally than the second side leg, the first side leg is converged with the hook at the first end of the first side leg to form one continuous body, and the second side leg is rounded inward at the second end of the second side leg;   a horizontal bottom leg having at least two notches and a first and a second end, wherein the bottom leg is converged at first and second ends of the bottom leg with the second end of the first side leg and the first end of the second side leg, forming two vertices.   
     
     
         12 . The hanger of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one hook, the two diagonal side legs, and the horizontal bottom leg are converged with each other at their respective ends using molding, welding, or adhesion techniques. 
     
     
         13 . The hanger of  claim 11 , wherein, the at least one hook, the two diagonal side legs, and the horizontal bottom leg are formed as one continuous body using laser cutting, molding, stamping, or three-dimensional printing techniques. 
     
     
         14 . The hanger of  claim 11 , wherein the horizontal bottom leg includes a plurality of notches. 
     
     
         15 . The hanger of  claim 11 , wherein the vertices have larger width compared to that of the side and horizontal bottom legs. 
     
     
         16 . The hanger of  claim 11 , wherein the second end of the second diagonal leg is not connected to the body of the hanger and is oriented, tilted or twisted inward.
