ABSTRACT:
Adjustable hanger whose length conforms to the shoulder length of shirts, blouses, dresses, thereby eliminating unsightly stretch marks from fixed length hangers. The hanger's body contains a swiveling hook, a pinion, and right and left arms with built-in gear racks. A square-ended hook is held rotatably by its straight end in a cylindrical cavity in the central upper part of the body. A pinion with gear teeth is held rotatably by its head in another cylindrical cavity directly below the straight end of the hook. Pinion gear teeth engage the rack teeth of the left and right arms, which arms are radially shaped and are housed and guided in radial tracks in the body. By rotating the hook and simultaneously pushing it downwards into the body, the square end of the hook is made to enter the square hole of the pinion. Rotating the hook at this point will rotate the pinion whose teeth will pull the left and right arms to move radially in the tracks of the body. Rotating the hook in one direction may simultaneously move the left and right arm to extend out of the body to lengthen the hanger. Rotating the hook in the opposite direction may simultaneously move the left and right arms to retract into the body to shorten the hanger.
