ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the telescopic sleeve overlay for a garment hanger is used in conjunction with a common type hanger. Common hangers usually are made of wire or stiff rods which form a shallow, inverted U-shape depending from an inverted U-shaped hanger head. The hanger head is adapted to be hung on a clothing rod. The sleeve overlay includes an inverted U-shaped base and two longitudinally movable inverted U-shaped sleeves. The sleeves move inboard and outboard on the base and move with respect to a centrally located cut-out on the base. The hanger head from the hanger extends through the cut-out. The base extends longitudinally over substantially the entire length of the hanger wire. In one embodiment, the sleeves are guided on the base by guides formed either at the lower edges of the sleeves or at the lower edges of the base. Inboard and outboard stops prevent the sleeves from being completely withdrawn from the base or being forced towards the apex of the hanger. A hanger head is utilized having an inverted U-shaped hanger hook and a par of legs extending in opposite directions from a base portion of the hanger hook. Each leg has an upstanding clip tab thereat. The base of the garment hanger defines an inverted, U-shaped lateral cross-section and a longitudinally centered cut-out The hanger head protrudes through the cut-out and each upstanding clip tab removably locks onto an edge portion which defines the base cut-out. A pair of longitudinally moveable, inverted U-shaped sleeves are movably mounted atop opposing end regions of the base.
