Hanger


''from VfD:'' The page seems to be a dissambiguation for nothing. "Hanger" is the spelling for the thing you put clothes on. Hangar has it's own article (a stub) and is on a seperate page. The page didn't even link to Hangar until I added that. Also there is no atricle written about clothes hangers that i know of. Am I wrong? BrokenSegue 02:21, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless we want to include also disambigs to gallows workers, etc. Geogre 04:10, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, but cleanup: there is an article on Clothes hangers, and this could be a useful disambig page. Whosyourjudas 23:08, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • *to disambig what and what? Clothes hanger and hangar? or hanger(as in gallow worker)? Why not just redirect to Clothes hanger?BrokenSegue 02:11, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) ''end moved discussion''

    Clothes Hanger


    A clothes hanger, or coat hanger, is a device in the shape of human shoulders designed to facilitate the hanging of a coat, jacket, sweater, shirt, blouse or dress in a manner that prevents wrinkles, with a lower bar for the hanging of pants. There are two basic types of clothes hangers, the wire hanger, a simple loop of wire in a flattened triangle shape, with the wire continuing into a hook at the top, and the wooden hanger, a flat piece of wood cut into a boomerang-like shape, and with the edges sanded down to prevent damage to the clothing, with a hook, usually of metal, protruding from the point. Some wooden hangers have a rounded bar from tip to tip, forming a flattened triangle, this bar is designed to hang the pants belonging to the jacket. There are also plastic coat hangers, which mostly mimic the shape of either a wire or wooden hanger. Plastic coat hangers are also produced in smaller sizes to accommodate the shapes of children's clothes. There are also clothes hangers that have been padded with fine materials, such as satin, for expensive clothes, lingerie and fancy dresses. The soft, plush padding is intended to protect garments and keep them from getting shoulder dents from wire hangers. President Thomas Jefferson invented the wooden clothes hanger. However, today's most used hanger, the wire hanger, was inspired by a coat hook that was invented in 1869 by O. A. North of New Britain, Connecticut. In 1903, Albert J. Parkhouse, an employee of the Timberlake Wire and Novelty Company in Jackson, Michigan, tired of hearing the complaints of coworkers about too few coat hooks in the factory, bent a piece of wire into two ovals and twisted the ends together to form a hook, and thus invented the first basic wire hanger. In 1932, Schuyler C. Hulett patented an improved design, which used cardboard tubes mounted on the upper and lower parts of the wire to prevent wrinkles, and in 1935, Elmer D. Rogers added a tube on the lower bar, which is

After an outcry, and criticism from within the party, the trip was cancelled. Hanger is currently a junior Opposition critic for Citizenship and Immigration, with special responsibility for Foreign Credentials. He is a former Opposition critic for the Solicitor General and for National Defence. In the summer of 2001, Hanger was the first Alliance MP to be suspended from caucus for criticizing the leadership of Stockwell Day.

    Derailleur Hanger


    Derailleur hangers, or mech hangers as they are otherwise known form the link between the bicycle frame and the rear derailleur. The hanger is intended as a cheap replaceable part so that in the event of an accident or mechanical problem (such as a stick getting lodged in the rear wheel and pulling the derailleur off the frame), no significant damage comes to the frame or derailleur. Sometimes a shear bolt which is designed as a weak point will also be used. Derailleur hangers are generally not used on steel frames, where any frame damage can often be repaired inexpensively due to the material being less likely to work harden during deformation.

    Does anyone know what type of wire is presently used for coat hangers? Because it is so easily bent, I suspect it is aluminum but I would like to know for sure. Thank you in advance. : I suspect there are a variety of types available, depending on your manufacturer. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 15:04, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

    Cliff Hanger


    Cliff Hanger was a comic strip in the UK comic Buster, first appearing in the 25 June 1983 issue. It was written and drawn by Jack Edward Oliver. Watching a television show called 'Now Get Out of This' (a parody of Now Get Out of That), Cliff remarks that he thinks he could get out of everything. This is overheard by the Evil Spies, agents of M.E.S.S. (the Mysterious Evil Spies Society). They tell Cliff that he's now a guinea pig in their traps, and if he doesn't survive, they'll know the traps will be good enough to use against secret agents. From then on, the premise of the strip every week would be that Cliff is suddenly transported into a dangerous situation by the spies, using the Atomic Matter Transmitter. Three options would be presented to the readers, who would select one by ticking one of the boxes, and turning to another page to see whether their choice was correct or not. For example, in the first strip, Cliff is stranded on a moving artificial desert island. Just as it's about to hit the shore, the current changes and Cliff is driven back into the shark invested sea. The choices were 'Take off his shoe and use it to paddle the island to the shore', 'Pull out the tree and use it as a raft' and 'Climb the tree'. A and B were incorrect- using the shoe as a paddle simply sent Cliff round in circles, and pulling out the tree revealed it was plugging a hole, causing the island to sink. The correct answer was C, as Cliff's weight caused the tree to bend over onto the shore, lifting Cliff to safety. The strip featured several minor background details that would occur in every issue, including a box with a handle, a plaster, the word 'Acme', an arrow with another (backwards facing) arrow inside it, a warthog, the initials 'JEO', a worm, and a sign saying "Abolish Tuesdays". A running gag would feature one of the Evil Spies' constant wondering why his counterpart would frequently call him "Ray" even though that wasn't his name, when in fact he was

    Hanger 13


    Infamous Scottish hardcore rave venue in Ayr, Scotland. During the 1990s, raves situated at this old aircraft hanger became the target of much police and media interest after alleged ecstasy-related deaths there. Eventually shut down there was a ''unity campaign'' to keep it open but pressure eventually saw it closed. It transpired that many rave deaths in Scotland may have been due to the proliferation of more dangerous dance drugs such as MDA rather than ecstasy or MDMA. Other factors included overheating and lack of water and other facilities at these often adhoc, unlicenced events.
