 1. Introduction

Cloth hanger with wood technology is a technology that used to hang clothes like shirt ,t-shirt,
trouser, coat and any type of fabric and to promote import substitution by producing
standardized products for garment workers.

The present cloth hanger way is performed only by stretch rob using wire, plastic and carton
ashangulit rather than using tools or technology. So that this cloth hanger technology method is
the plastic is broken easily, the wire also shrinks and penetrate fabrics. there for to reduce those
problems I will design the cloth hanger with wood technology.

7.Materials identified in scientific way

The selected equipment’s for the technology is based on function, safety, cost, manufacturability,
marketability, rust resistance etc.

8.Manufacturing process
1. Select raw material
 The materials for this project are MDF wood. More specifically, you need three
pieces of corrugated MDF that are at least 7 inch by 17 inches each. I found piece of
the appropriate size in the form of triangle shipping that I had in my garage.

13 | P a g e
 2. Cut the MDF to size
 You need three rectangles of MDF to form the base of the hanger board. The
dimension of the MDF pieces will determine the dimension of the cloth hang. 7inch
by 17 inches the dimension that is commonly used in department stores for large
cloth hang
 Alternatively, you can just hang cloth to whatever size that you prefer and use that as
a template.
3. Tape the panels together
 Layout the panels in a grid of three wide by two high as shown in the picture. Space
them out so that there is the gab of about ¼ inch between them. This gap lets the
panels easily fold and move while in use.
 On both the front and back sides, tape each of the panels on the top row to each of
the panels that are adjacent to them as shown in the picture. Then your shirt folding
board is complete.
4. Joint the part
 To combine the necessary parts of the project in specific sequence.
5. Paint and finishing the project
 After finishing of combining those project parts we will painting the close folding
tool and finish it.
