ISAAC IB. GAIN, OF KINNEY, MINNESOTA.

, COMBINATION-RACK.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC B. CAIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kinney, in the county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination- Racks, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to suit hangers and the principal object of the device is to provide a suit hanger which will hold an entire suit, gloves, shoes, and hats.

Another object of the invention is to provide a cover so that when the suit is hanging on the rack it will be inclosed and will be protected from dust.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view showing the assembled suit hanger. Fig. 2 is an end elevational View of the improved suit hanger. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view of the improved hanger and shows the manner of suspending the hanger from a support, and also the manner of holding the cover supported in desired position. Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of an overcoat holder. Fig. 5 is a sectional view along the line 5-5 of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a view of a device shown in Fig. 4 and shows the manner of suspending the coat hanger from the overcoat hanger. Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of one of the shoe trees.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals it will be seen that this invention comprises an overcoat hanger 1 which is principallyformed from wood and which is provided with a centrally located suspending rod 2 which is secured in the upper edge of the coat hanger and has its free end formed into an eye 3 by means of which it is connected to a hook 4. The hook 1 is provided at one end with a screw eye 5 by means of which it is secured to a support 6, such for instance, as a shelf of a Wardrobe. A plate 7 which is preferably elliptical in shape and provided with a central cross bar 8 is provided withan opening 9 formed through the bar 8. The hook 4 passes through the opening 9, and the plate is held in the desired position upon the hook Serial No. 614,144.

by means of a pin 10 which passes through an opening formed through the hook. A collar 11 is formed on the rod 2 and surrounds the opening 9. The coat hanger is provided with a number of pegs 12, 13, and 14, one of which is located in the center of the hanger and the remaining ones positioned to each side of the central one. A rod 15 is secured to the central peg 13, and bracing rods 16 are secured to each of the pegs 12 and 14 and have their free ends brought together to form hooks 17. A smaller coat hanger 18 is provided with a centrally located hook 19 by means of which the smaller coat hanger is suspended from the hook 17. The smaller coat hanger is prevented from swinging too far to either side of the central point by means of the braces 16 as these braces will not permit the central rod 15 to swing to either side and it is therefore impossible for the coat hanger 18 to swing to either side and cause the coatto hang crooked. A rod 20 is secured to the ends of the coat hanger 18 and is used as a trousers hanger. Shoe trees 21 each of which is provided with a hook 22 at the end of its shank 23 are hung from the rod 20. In using this device a coat and vest are hung upon the coat hanger 18 and a pair of.shoes are placed upon the shoe trees 21 and hang from the rod 20 inside of the coat. An overcoat is hung upon the coat hanger 1 and hats and gloves are hung upon the pegs 12, 13 and 14, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1. Trousers maybe suspended by having the legs passed over the rod 20. The cover which is secured to the periphery of the plate 7 is lowered to protect the clothes from dust. This device will be very convenient for a person who travels a good deal as it can be folded in a small space.

What I claim is:

A device of the character described comprising a garment hanger, means for suspending the same from a support, a rod depending from said'hanger at right angles to the horizontal aXis thereof, said rod being provided with a supporting hook at the free end thereof, bracing rods carried by said hanger, said rods having the ends carried by the hanger spaced on each side of and relatively remote from the point of attachment of the first mentioned rod and hanger operates against the tilting of the converging toward the free end of the first first hanger. 0 mentioned rod, hooks on the free ends of In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my said bracing rods and on either side of the signature in presence of two witnesses.
