ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for making an improved cloth hanger.
The invention further relates to the improved cloth hanger made by the above method.
In the field of the cloth manufacturing, dry cleaning and laundry shops, it is very important to put, for exhibiting and preserving purposes, the cloth articles on cloth hangers.
These cloth hangers, on the other hand, must have a very small cost and a high operating reliability.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the main object of the present invention is to provide a cloth hanger having very good aesthetic characteristics, a small weight and which can be easily disposed of.
Actually, the above mentioned cloth hangers are conventionally made in a large series as “disposable” articles, produced on a large mass basis in several hundred thousands through the world.
Thus, it would be very important to dispose of, as stated, the used cloth hangers in a not polluting manner.
The latter requirements, on the other hand, cannot be met satisfactorily by conventional cloth hangers including different materials such as plastic or wire materials, which solve only partially the above mentioned disposal problem.
The above mentioned object is achieved by a cloth hanger as claimed in claim
1
.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method for making a cloth hanger having a triangular construction of a paperboard material, i.e. a small weight and high strength construction, which can be simply made and/or recycled, in order to provide a disposable cloth hanger specifically designed for supporting cloth articles during end processing operations thereof, and for easily storing and/or transporting said cloth articles.
The invention fully provides to achieve the following advantageous results:
an optimizing of the strength/thickness ratio, in using a paper board material, and this owing to the disclosed making method in which one or more strips are used for making said cloth hangers, said strips including a longitudinal ribbed pattern, either of a simple or double nature, the ribs of said rib pattern being partially bent from the central axial portion of the strip toward the peripheral portion of the strip to provide a tridimensional crowned profile allowing to easily made a plurality of ribs for properly reinforcing the cloth hanger structure, while using a material having a comparatively small mechanical strength;
a great reduction of the cloth hanger weight and space size, thereby providing a very small storing and shipment size therefor;
an optimizing of the cloth hanger assembling speed;
an optimizing of the cloth hanger making cost, with the possibility of easily recycling and disposing of the used cloth hangers, without environmental polluting problems, since the used material is an efficiently biodegradable material.
