1. Background: Field of Invention

2. Background: Discussion of Prior Art
There are many types of clothes hangers on the market. An example is U.S. Pat. No. 6,050,462. However these structures that do not allow for creasing that is caused in the back of shirt collars and they do not allow for hanging accessories such as ties and belts. There is also available clothes hangers that have a cross bar usually used for the hanging of trousers. While this cross bar is often used for hanging of belt and ties, there is often a stability problem and the belt or tie will fall off to the ground. There are a range of other devices that are produced specifically for the hanging of ties and belts, these devices are however usually expensive to produce and cumbersome making them unsuitable for travel.
Known prior art garment hangers include U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,082,152; 5,476,199; 4,948,019; and 4,673,114. None of these prior art referenced claim a device for preventing creasing of collars. In this respect, the clothes hanger to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and prior art, and in doing so provides a device that is able to hang clothes in a way that is more efficient and with less garment damage.
