In any modern wardrobe or dressing room, a special device is used for hanging clothes. This is the so-called rod, which is a metal pipe of round or oval cross-section. Wardrobe items are hung on it on the shoulders, which greatly facilitates the search for the desired item and ensures the convenience of its placement.
Types and their functionality
The longitudinal bar for clothes is easy to use, more spacious and is attached to the walls of the cabinet or dressing room. In addition to the longitudinal, there is a transverse version of the design, complicated by the fact that it can be advanced or retracted if necessary. A drawer is often used with a special device (pantograph), with which you can raise or lower things to a certain height (not exceeding 2 meters).
A typical bar for clothes can be oval classic type and round. Oval is fixed inside the cabinet on the bar holder and is able to withstand severe loads, for example, when a large amount of outer clothing is hung on it.
As for the second option, the round bar for clothes is fixed using flanges. The round design can also withstand heavy loads, but for confidence in the openings whose width exceeds 60 cm, it is much more reliable to install an oval version of the bar.
Microlift and pantograph
When it is necessary to place wardrobe items in a closet, the depth of which is less than 55 cm, a retractable bar for clothes is acceptable, otherwise it is a “micro-lift”. Such a device is just suitable for a narrow cabinet and has the ability to change the direction of the transverse hanging of wardrobe items. Dimensions for extendable bar - from 25 cm to 50 cm.
In addition to the micro-lift, a pantograph-elevator is used, that is, a hanger-bar for clothes, which must be placed under the very top of the cabinet. This design lowers the pantograph bar to an optimum convenient height, so that it is convenient to remove or, conversely, hang shirts, blouses, jackets on the shoulders. A similar mechanism is used when the wardrobe or dressing room is too high and you want to hang things on the upper tier.
If guests arrived
There is another type of hanger - a bar for clothes on wheels, which is mobile and can be freely placed in a room, dressing room, loggia, for example, if you need to dry washed shirts. Since it is easy to move from place to place, it is widely used in dressing rooms, shops, and ateliers.
Some designs are retractable, which is very convenient, for example, for receiving guests when there is no way for them to allocate a whole cupboard. On such a hanger, you can hang all the necessary items of a weekend or holiday costume and its attendant attributes, such as:
- hat;
- shoes
- tie;
- scarf;
- a bag;
- coat;
- Cape and more.
Now you don’t need to look for your favorite blouse or shirt for a long time, you can open the closet or go into the dressing room and in two accounts get the ironed, conveniently located thing hanging on the shoulders.
