Abstract
Abstract A garment shaper adapted to give desired shape to shoulders of a garment suspended thereon and having strength to resist deformation by weight of the garment is constituted by two identical elements formed of a material having little resistance to bending stresses, e.g. foamed polystyrene. The two elements are mounted on a conventional wire or injection molded plastic coat hanger in complementary relationship.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
The combination of a garment hanger and two shaping bodies on said hanger comprising: a. a garment hanger providing two dimensional support for a garment, said hanger having a central vertical shank connected to two oppositely disposed downwardly sloping shoulder elements and b. two elongated shaping bodies disposed one on each shoulder element of said hanger to impart a third dimension of support to the combination, each shaping body having the form of an inverted trough with a base extending over a shoulder element and side and end walls flaring outwardly and downwardly from the base. one end of each elongated shaping body having an angled portion with a flat surface smoothly converging to form said angle with said base and a downward flared lip on the distal end of the flat portion so that one such portion can overlie the other in nesting relationship adjacent the central vertical shank, and an aperture through each angled portion for threading the shank therethrough.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
The combination of a garment hanger and two shaping bodies on said hanger comprising: a. a garment hanger providing two dimensional support for a garment, said hanger having a central vertical shank connected to two oppositely disposed downwardly sloping shoulder elements and b. two elongated shaping bodies disposed one on each shoulder element of said hanger to impart a third dimension of support to the combination, each shaping body having the form of an inverted trough with a base extending over a shoulder element and side and end walls flaring outwardly and downwardly from the base. one end of each elongated shaping body having an angled portion with a flat surface smoothly converging to form said angle with said base and a downward flared lip on the distal end of the flat portion so that one such portion can overlie the other in nesting relationship adjacent the central vertical shank, and an aperture through each angled portion for threading the shank therethrough.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein each of said shaping bodies is of increasing width dimension transverse of its length in the direction remote from said shank.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The combination of claim 1 in which the bodies are formed from foamed polystyrene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
153 words
An article of manufacture to impart a third dimension of support to a disposable garment hanger having a central vertical shank connected to two oppositely disposed downwardly sloping shoulder elements, said article comprising two elongated shaping bodies adapted to be disposed one on each shoulder element of a hanger, each shaping body having the form of an inverted trough with a base adapted to fit over a hanger shoulder element with side and end walls flaring outwardly and downwardly from the base, one end of each elongated shaping body having an angled portion with a flat surface smoothly converging to form said angle with said base and a downward flared lip on the distal end of the flat portion so that one such portion can overlie the other in nestiNg relationship adjacent the central vertical shank when placed on a hanger, and an aperture through each angled portion for threading the shank therethrough.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
153 words
An article of manufacture to impart a third dimension of support to a disposable garment hanger having a central vertical shank connected to two oppositely disposed downwardly sloping shoulder elements, said article comprising two elongated shaping bodies adapted to be disposed one on each shoulder element of a hanger, each shaping body having the form of an inverted trough with a base adapted to fit over a hanger shoulder element with side and end walls flaring outwardly and downwardly from the base, one end of each elongated shaping body having an angled portion with a flat surface smoothly converging to form said angle with said base and a downward flared lip on the distal end of the flat portion so that one such portion can overlie the other in nestiNg relationship adjacent the central vertical shank when placed on a hanger, and an aperture through each angled portion for threading the shank therethrough.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The article of claim 4 wherein said shaping body is of increasing width dimension transverse of its length in the direction remote from said shank.
