Abstract

Abstract The device comprises a body adapted to receive disposed thereabout a garment in a manner such that the body is positioned outside the garment interior, and means on the body for removably securing the body to a holder such as a display arm. Serations are optionally provided at the edge of the body and function to maintain the position of a garment disposed about the body fixed relative to the body. The means for removably securing is an inverted substantially L-shaped extension of the body; said means consists of a vertical and a horizontal segment. The vertical segment extends upward from the top edge of the body. The horizontal segment extends from the vertical segment, overhangs the top edge of the body and defines there between a blind slot having a recess which is adapted to removably receive the holder. The body with garment ensconsed thereon can be encased in a clear plastic bag. The substantially L-shaped extension may be totally or partially removable; when completely removed the body can be alternatively removably secured to the holder by means of an opening in the body adapted to receive a holder such as a display arm. The device permits ready viewing of a displayed garment. The body is raised slightly to disengage the display arm from the recess, whereupon the display arm moves into the slot and the body can be moved so that the arm is moved along the slot but not out of the slot. After viewing, the procedure is reversed to replace the garment in its original position on the display.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 234 words
A garment support device comprising, a body portion for receiving a garment folded thereabout, said body portion having a top edge, a first edge, a second edge, and a base; a hook-like portion, on and extending upwardly from the top edge, for removably securing the body portion to an arm, said hook-like portion being unitary with and an extension of the body portion, the hook-like portion having a vertical segment extending upwardly from the top edge of the body portion and a horizontal segment extending horizontally from the vertical segment and overhanging the top edge, said body portion and said hook-like portion each being in sheet form; means on each of said first edge and said second edge, for fixing relative to the body portion the position of a garment when it is folded about the body portion; means for detaching the hook-like portion from the body portion, said means for detaching comprising a line of tearable perforations in the vertical segment, lying in the plane of and in alignment with the top edge; a second line of tearable perforations in the horizontal segment, for removing a part of the horizontal segment, the second line of perforations being disposed above the top edge; and secondary means, on the body portion and below the top edge, for removably securing the body portion to said arm when the hook-like portion is detached from the body portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 234 words
A garment support device comprising, a body portion for receiving a garment folded thereabout, said body portion having a top edge, a first edge, a second edge, and a base; a hook-like portion, on and extending upwardly from the top edge, for removably securing the body portion to an arm, said hook-like portion being unitary with and an extension of the body portion, the hook-like portion having a vertical segment extending upwardly from the top edge of the body portion and a horizontal segment extending horizontally from the vertical segment and overhanging the top edge, said body portion and said hook-like portion each being in sheet form; means on each of said first edge and said second edge, for fixing relative to the body portion the position of a garment when it is folded about the body portion; means for detaching the hook-like portion from the body portion, said means for detaching comprising a line of tearable perforations in the vertical segment, lying in the plane of and in alignment with the top edge; a second line of tearable perforations in the horizontal segment, for removing a part of the horizontal segment, the second line of perforations being disposed above the top edge; and secondary means, on the body portion and below the top edge, for removably securing the body portion to said arm when the hook-like portion is detached from the body portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
The device, as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for fixing is a plurality of serations on each of said first edge and said second edge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 77 words
The device, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body portion is wider at its base than at its top whereby the sides of the body portion taper outwardly from the top to the base, the taper of the body portion cooperating with said means for fixing on the first edge and with said means for fixing on the second edge to inhibit downward slidable movement of a garment when it is folded about the body portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 41 words
The device, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the overhanging horizontal segment and the top edge beneath it define therebetween a blind slot, the horizontal portion has a recess for removably receiving the arm, and the slot communicates with the recess.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
The device, as claimed in claim 1, wherein said hook-like portion is substantially ''''L''''-shaped.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 49 words
The device, as claimed in claim 1, further including a bag having an opening, the bag being otherwise closed, said bag being adapted to receive therein prior to closing of same the body portion with a garment folded thereabout, the hook-like portion extending through the opening in the bag.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 12 words
The device, as claimed in claim 6, wherein said bag is transparent.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 34 words
The devIce, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the secondary means for removably securing is an opening in the body portion near the top edge, the opening being adapted to receive therethrough said arm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 25 words
The device, as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for fixing is a seration on each of said first edge and said second edge.
