Abstract

A garment holder especially suited for neckties, scarves, belts, etc., that loads or unload garments at a convenient height and stores the garments near the ceiling. The main garment hanging area utilizes a coil, wherein a torsion bar stabilizes and strengthens the coil by connecting the coil and torsion bar at said coil top and bottom. The tail stabilizer located at the bottom of the torsion bar provides a secondary hanging area and helps level and stabilize the garment holder. Multi-level action is attained because the hanging eye is connected to a ceiling mounted pulley by a rope which uses two handles to control the load and unload positions whereby a downward pull causes the ring hitches to a wing nut to separate allowing the rope to lower the garment holder until stopped by a washer resting against the pulley. Storage at ceiling level is attained from this position by pulling on the handles until the ring reengages the wing nut hitch. An optical high production garment hanger coil is made in two pieces; the coil and the insert. The insert snaps into the coil to provide all of the features of the original coil. The hanger can use three optional hoists; one uses an electric motor to wind the rope up and down on a spool for height variations; the other two utilize a locking pulley that responds to rope knots or similar protruders placed in or on the rope. The second uses an arrestor arm to capture and lock the rope in an "s" configuration, and releases the rope when the "s" configuration is removed. The third is a "Rail and Catch Pulley," which uses no external moving parts, but utilizes an upper and lower rail and a fork-like catch, to achieve locking and releasing of the garment holder.
