ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a hanging package display unit for displaying multiple units of various articles of clothing such as underwear, blouses and slacks, shirt and pants, woman's pants suit, sleepwear and the like. More particularly, the hanging package display unit includes a first hanger and a second hanger interlocked below the first hanger, where the interlocked second hanger is received within a slot opening in the neck member of the first hanger, and the two hangers are held together by a surrounding packaging display card having advertising and/or display indicia thereon.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Prior art methods of packaging clothing articles for hanging display typically include a single hanger and a header card and/or hanging tab which is attached to the clothing article and/or hanger for hanging on a display rack. At present, there is no hanger system for displaying two or more clothing articles on multiple hangers for hanging on a display rack.
There remains a need for a hanging package display unit for displaying multiple units of various clothing articles, such as underwear, blouses and slacks, shirt and pants, women's pants suits and the like. The display unit would include two or more hangers connected to each other by a surrounding packaging card having advertising and/or display indicia thereon.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Multiple garment hangers and product display hangers having various designs, structures, configurations and materials of construction have been disclosed in the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,935,976 to Mizrach discloses a multiple garment hanger. This prior art patent does not disclose or teach two hangers interlocked having a display card thereon for holding the two hangers together.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,728,440 to Good discloses a product display hanger. This prior art patent does not disclose or teach two hangers interlocked having a display card thereon for holding the two hangers together.
None of the aforementioned prior art patents disclose or teach the present invention of a hanging package display unit having two hangers connected or interlocked and having a display card thereon for holding the two hangers together.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hanging package display unit for displaying multiple units of various clothing articles, such as underwear and bras, blouses and slacks, shirt and pants, pants suits (for women) and the like.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a hanging package display unit that displays two or more clothing articles on multiple hangers for hanging on a display rack.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a hanging package display unit that includes a first hanger and a second hanger interlocked below the first hanger, where the interlocked second hanger is received within a slot opening in the neck member of the first hanger.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a hanging package display unit where the two interlocked hangers are held together by a surrounding packaging display card having advertising and/or display indicia thereon.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a hanging package display unit where the two connected hangers are held together by a security tie within a hole opening in the neck member of the first hanger.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a hanging package display unit that includes a hanging bracket member integrally attached to each of the two interlocked hangers for hanging at least four articles of clothing thereon.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a hanging package display unit where the packaging display card may display additional clothing and non-clothing and nonclothing accessories such as matching slippers, neckties, toys, booklets and the like being mounted on the front side of the packaging display card.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a hanging package display unit wherein the materials of construction are selected from the group consisting of plastics, wood, paper and light-weight metals.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a hanging package display unit that can be mass produced in an automated and economical manner and is readily affordable to the clothing manufacturer or retailer.
