Abstract
Abstract A rigid rodlike element has one end shaped to provide an opening to receive the hook ends of clothes hangers. The remainder of the element is shaped to form a hand grip portion which is at right angles to and spaced from the opening. The opening for the hanger hooks may be constituted of a loop formed in the element, or such one end of the element may be flattened and have a slot formed therein.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
In combination: a rodlike element that is rigid throughout its length, a first portion of said element between an intermediate portion and one end thereof being shaped in a closed loop defining an opening to receive the hook portions of one or more clothes hangers, the remainder of said element between said intermediate portion and the other end thereof being shaped in a second closed loop substantially larger than said first-mentioned loop, said second loop defining a hand receiving opening and having a hand grip segment, said segment being at right angles to the plane of said hook receiving opening, said plane being substantially midway between the ends of said segment, and said first portion, intermediate portion and hand grip segment being maintained in their relative positions solely by the rigidity of said element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
In combination: a rodlike element that is rigid throughout its length, a first portion of said element between an intermediate portion and one end thereof being shaped in a closed loop defining an opening to receive the hook portions of one or more clothes hangers, the remainder of said element between said intermediate portion and the other end thereof being shaped in a second closed loop substantially larger than said first-mentioned loop, said second loop defining a hand receiving opening and having a hand grip segment, said segment being at right angles to the plane of said hook receiving opening, said plane being substantially midway between the ends of said segment, and said first portion, intermediate portion and hand grip segment being maintained in their relative positions solely by the rigidity of said element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The combination of claim 1, wherein said first and remaiNing portions of said element form respective loops in mutually perpendicular planes, both ends of said element terminating immediately adjacent said intermediate portion, whereby said loops are substantially closed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
154 words
In combination: a rigid rod-like element, a first portion of said element between an intermediate portion and one end thereof being shaped to define an opening to receive the hook portions of one or more clothes hangers, wherein said first portion is flattened and has an elongated opening therein, wherein said flattened first portion forms an angle to the plane of said loop, the remainder of said element between said intermediate portion and the other end thereof being shaped to provide a hand grip segment, said segment being at right angles to the plane of said opening, said plane being substantially midway between the ends of said segment, and said segment being spaced from said intermediate portion to provide clearance to permit one''s fingers to be inserted therebetween for gripping said segment, wherein said remaining portion of the element is formed as a loop with said other end thereof terminating adjacent said intermediate end.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
154 words
In combination: a rigid rod-like element, a first portion of said element between an intermediate portion and one end thereof being shaped to define an opening to receive the hook portions of one or more clothes hangers, wherein said first portion is flattened and has an elongated opening therein, wherein said flattened first portion forms an angle to the plane of said loop, the remainder of said element between said intermediate portion and the other end thereof being shaped to provide a hand grip segment, said segment being at right angles to the plane of said opening, said plane being substantially midway between the ends of said segment, and said segment being spaced from said intermediate portion to provide clearance to permit one''s fingers to be inserted therebetween for gripping said segment, wherein said remaining portion of the element is formed as a loop with said other end thereof terminating adjacent said intermediate end.
