ABSTRACT:
A clothes hanger extender which attaches to standard plastic clothes hanger so as to be able to adjust for different sized garments. The channel end has a hollow interior with a substantially elliptical cross section. The first portion of the channel, the channel locking portion, has a locking portion width which is smaller than the channel end's interior diameter. The second portion of the channel, the channel transition portion, connects the channel locking portion with the channel adjustment portion to make a continuous channel. The last portion of the channel is the channel adjustment portion. The channel adjustment portion allows the clothes hanger extender to slide over a standard plastic clothes hanger. The channel adjustment portion alternatively terminates at the shoulder end, or is the shoulder end, depending upon whether the shoulder end is a separate component. The entire channel is formed by a material which is sufficiently elastic to allow the channel to be expanded from the locking portion width to the interior diameter without permanently deforming the material.
