Description
Side-Sizer for Wire Hook Hangers Background of the Invention Field of Invention [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of garment hangers, and more specifically to a side-sizer for use with a hanger having a wire metal hook.
Description of Related Art [0002] In the area of retail garment sales, so-called Garment-On-Hanger (GOH) programs have become preferred to retailers. In a GOH program, garments are delivered to retail merchants already suspended from hangers, whereupon arrival at the retail location they may immediately be placed on display for sale. Formerly, retailers accomplished this task with labor provided at,their own expense.
Description of Related Art [0002] In the area of retail garment sales, so-called Garment-On-Hanger (GOH) programs have become preferred to retailers. In a GOH program, garments are delivered to retail merchants already suspended from hangers, whereupon arrival at the retail location they may immediately be placed on display for sale. Formerly, retailers accomplished this task with labor provided at,their own expense.
[0003] In particular, retailers have specified particular hangers or hanger characteristics among their several suppliers in order to achieve a visually pleasing uniformity on their sales floors. To this end, standards as to hanger size, shape, performance characteristics, etc., are maintained, for example, by organizations such as the Voluntary Inter-industry Commerce Standards Association (VTCS). One particular standardized hanger feature is extremely popular across several hanger models, namely a turnable wire hook mated to a plastic hanger.
[0004] Additionally, and interrelated to the promulgation of GOH programs, retailers and their customers desire to have the hanger itself display some indicia regarding the item carried upon it. Categories of indicia could include manufacturer, material and price, but most notably for garments, their size. Various means for accomplishing this have been developed, including those disclosed in U.S.
Patent No. 5,884,422 to Marshal, et al., and U.S. Patent No. 6,019,260 to Gouldson, both of which are commonly assigned with the instant application, among others.
Popular among these are the type disclosed in the latter patent just mentioned, i.e., those that secure~~to the hanger adjacent the intersection of the hook and the hanger body to one side of the hook, appropriately called side-sizer tabs, or simply side-sizers; or lower neck sizers or indicators.
Patent No. 5,884,422 to Marshal, et al., and U.S. Patent No. 6,019,260 to Gouldson, both of which are commonly assigned with the instant application, among others.
Popular among these are the type disclosed in the latter patent just mentioned, i.e., those that secure~~to the hanger adjacent the intersection of the hook and the hanger body to one side of the hook, appropriately called side-sizer tabs, or simply side-sizers; or lower neck sizers or indicators.
[0005] However, such side-sizers heretofore known in the art require that the hanger be specifically manufactured to accept the particular indicator. Various other indicators could be made universally adaptable, for example, those attached or surrounding the wire hook of the hanger. These generally are free to slide along the length of the wire hook, and ordinarily come to rest at the base of the hook adjacent the hanger body. However, these do not achieve the desired appearance afforded by a side-sizer.
Brief Summary of the Invention [0006] Therefore, in order to overcome these and other deficiencies in the prior art, provided according to the present invention is a size-sizer for a garment hanger having a collar portion with a band configured to engage a hook of the hanger and an indicator portion pivotally connected to the collar portion. The indicator portion has means for retaining the indicator portion engaged with the hanger. The side-sizer exhibits indicia related to an item to be suspended from the hanger.

The indicator portion has means for retaining the indicator portion engaged with the hanger. The side-sizer exhibits indicia related to an item to be suspended from the hanger.
(0007] In further embodiments the side-sizer is unitarily formed from an injection-molded plastic, particularly polypropylene or K-resin, in which case the collar portion and indicator portion can be pivotally connected by a living hinge.
(0008] The indicator portion can include a retaining tab on a lateral face of the indicator portion for retaining it engaged with the hanger. The retaining tab can have at least one of an inward surface and an outward surface being angled relative to a transverse datum. Alternately or additionally, the indicator portion is maintained engaged with the hanger via a predetermined distance between two lateral faces of the indicator portion dimensioned to engage the hanger.

Brief Description of the Drawings [0009] These and other features, aspects and benefits of the present invention will be made apparent with reference to tile following specification and accompanying drawings, where like reference numerals xefer to like features across the several views, and wherein:
(0010] Fig. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a side-sizer according to the present invention;
[0011] Fig. 2 illustrates an axial end view of the side-sizer , taken along line 2-2 of Fig. l;
[0012] Fig. 3 illustrates a further embodiment of the side-sizer according to the present invention in proximity with the hanger to which it is to be placed; and [0013] Fig. 4 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the side-sizer according to the present invention.
Detailed Description of the Invention [0014] Referring riow to Fig. 1, shown in perspective view is a side-sizer , generally 10, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Side-sizer 10-constitutes generally, a collar portion 12, and an indicator portion 14. One skilled in the art will appreciate, however, that collar portion 12 may also serve at least part of an indicating function.
Detailed Description of the Invention [0014] Referring riow to Fig. 1, shown in perspective view is a side-sizer , generally 10, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Side-sizer 10-constitutes generally, a collar portion 12, and an indicator portion 14. One skilled in the art will appreciate, however, that collar portion 12 may also serve at least part of an indicating function.
[0015] Collar portion 12 has a generally cylindrical band 16. The generally cylindrical band 16 can be circular, as in the illustrative embodiment, or another geometric cylindrical projection, including but not limited to rectangular, square, triangular, pentagonal, etc. The band 16 can have a discontinuity 18 to facilitate mounting to a hanger by admitting a wire hook. Collar portion 12 also has a plurality of substantially radial inwardly directed projections 20. At their mutual inward ends, projections 20 engage the wire hook of the hanger. Extending outwardly from one side of the collar portion 12 is a shelf 22 that is attached to and carries indicator portion 14.
[0016) Indicator portion 14 is attached to collar portion 12 at shelf 22 through a hinge 24. More specifically, hinge 24 can be a living hinge formed integrally of the same material as tab portion 14 and/or collar portion 12.
Alternately, indicator portion 14 may be attached to collar portion 12 without any hinge 24, and at any predetermined angle, as suitable for an intended application.
[0016) Indicator portion 14 is attached to collar portion 12 at shelf 22 through a hinge 24. More specifically, hinge 24 can be a living hinge formed integrally of the same material as tab portion 14 and/or collar portion 12.
Alternately, indicator portion 14 may be attached to collar portion 12 without any hinge 24, and at any predetermined angle, as suitable for an intended application.
[0017] Referring now to Fig. 2, shown is an axial end view of indicator portion 14. The cross-sectional shape can be generally described as "C-channel", though other shapes are equally suitable, including for example N-channel, U-channel, V-channel, among others. In the exemplary embodiment, indicator portion I4 is C-channel in cross-section, including an outward face 26, and complementary first lateral face 28 and a second lateral face 30. Tn an N-channel embodiment, the cross-section would be largely similar to the C-channel as shown, though having longer lateral faces in relation to the outward face, generally resembling a lower-case "n'.'. In a U-channel embodiment, the rounded portion of the a would replace outward face 28, while in a V-channel embodiment two lateral faces would intersect obviating an outward face. Other configurations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the instant disclosure, and the shape of the indicator portion 14 is not limited to those described. In any event, the indicator portion 14 can further open along at least a portion of an inward surface, generally opposite the outward face 26, in order to engage a hanger to which the side-sizer 10 is mounted.
[0018] Referring now to Fig. 3, shown is a side-sizer 10 in one particular application contemplated, i.e., a molded plastic hanger having a metal hook. The hanger, generally 40 (partially shown in cutaway), has a metal hook 42, which is attached to hanger body 44 via a triangular or trapezoidal (as viewed from a lateral side) reinforcement 46. The hanger 40 generally, and in particular reinforcement 46 includes one or more flanges 48. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, side-sizer 10a omits shelf 22, and indicator portion 14 is directly connected to collar portion 12 at hinge 24. Side-sizer 10a also includes a retaining tab 50 extending inward of either or both lateral faces 28, 30. Retaining tab 50 may be coextensive with lateral face 28 or 30, or both, or may be intermittent anywhere along the length of either face, irrespective of the length, size, shape, or even presence of a retaining tab 50 on the complementary face. Retaining tab 50 may be carried on an inward surface of lateral face 28 or 30, or at an end of the lateral face 28, 30, opposite outward face 26.
[0019] Referring again to Fig. 2, retaining tabs 50 have an inward surface 52 and outward surface 54, either or both of which may be sloped relative to a lateral datum. 56. In the exemplary embodiment shown, retaining tabs 50 have a generally flat outward surface 59 xelative to transverse datum 56, which provides additional resistance to removal.
Inward surface 52 is sharply sloped relative to transverse datum 56, which reduces resistance and aids in ease of engagement with flange 48. Inversely, where'outward surface 54 sloped downward, considered as having distal point of tab 50 below the point of attachment to lateral face 28, resistance to removal would be reduced.
Similarly., a reduced or eliminated upward slope of inward surface 52 would increase resistance to engagement with flange 48.
Inward surface 52 is sharply sloped relative to transverse datum 56, which reduces resistance and aids in ease of engagement with flange 48. Inversely, where'outward surface 54 sloped downward, considered as having distal point of tab 50 below the point of attachment to lateral face 28, resistance to removal would be reduced.
Similarly., a reduced or eliminated upward slope of inward surface 52 would increase resistance to engagement with flange 48.
[0020] When indicator portion 14 is urged into engagement with flange 48, the retaining tabs 50 tabs urge either or both lateral faces 28, 30 away from one another. Continued inward pressure on indicator portion 14 moves retaining tabs 50 beyond flange 48, releasing transverse pressure on lateral faces 28, 30, which return to their previous configuration. Thereafter, retaining tabs 50 cooperate with flange 48 to retain the indicator portion 14 engaged with the hanger 40, and more specifically reinforcement 46.
Alternately or additionally, the distance between lateral faces 28, 30 may be selected so that these continually engage flange 48 and retain the indicator portion 14 engaged with the hanger 40.
Alternately or additionally, the distance between lateral faces 28, 30 may be selected so that these continually engage flange 48 and retain the indicator portion 14 engaged with the hanger 40.
[0021] In an exemplary embodiment, side-sizer 10 is integrally formed of a plastic material, more specifically, an injection molded plastic. The plastic can be flexible to accommodate pivoting between the collar portion 12 and the indicator portion 14 where hinge 24 is a living hinge, and to accommodate resilient flexure of lateral faces 28, 30 for engagement with the hanger. Materials contemplated that satisfy this criterion of flexibility include, without limitation, polypropylene in its various forms, and K-resin in its various forms, among others.
[0022] Referring now to Fig. 4, shown in perspective view is a side-sizer , generally 100, according to an alternate "
embodiment of the present invention. Side-sizer 100 is comprised generally of a collar portion 112, and an indicator portion I14. Band 1I6 is a generally square cylindrical projection, having a discontinuity 118 to facilitate mounting to a hanger by admitting a wire hook.
Moreover, band 1I6 provides sloped surfaces ll8a, ll8b, adjacent to discontinuity 118 to guide the wire hook upon insertion. Collar portion 112 also has a plurality of substantially radial inwardly directed projections 120.
Indicator portion 114 is attached to collar portion 112 at.
shelf 122 through a hinge 124. Indicator portion 114 includes an outward face 126, and complementary first lateral face 128 and second lateral face 130. A retaining tab 150 extends inward of lateral face 130. ,The function of side-sizer 100 will be seen as generally similar to the previous embodiment.
