ENITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLOTTE WARREN HEWLETT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
GARMENT-HANGER.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLOTTE VVAREEN HEWLETT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, Flushing, borough of Queens, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Garment- Hanger, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved garment hanger for supporting skirts, waists, trousers and other garments, and arranged to take up very little room in a closet or other place, and to allow the use of a series of hangers, one suspended from the other, with a view to suspend any desired number of garments, so that any one of the garments can be readily removed or replaced without unduly disturbing the other garments and their hangers.
For the purpose mentioned, the hangers are preferably used in series, one suspended from the other, each hanger being provided with a clamp having spring-pressed clamping members, of which one is provided with a finger-piece and the other with a hook, provided in its shank with a loop or opening, onto which is adapted to hook the hook of another hanger and in which eX- tends the finger-piece ofthe next following hanger.
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying draw ings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.
Figure 1 is a front face view of a series of garment hangers suspended one from the other; and Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same.
The garment hanger is provided with a clamp having clamping members A and B,
between which the garment is clamped to' support the same. The clamping members A and B are pressed on bythe ends of a split tubular spring C, engaging with its free end the outer faces of the clamping members A and B directly below longitudinally-extending beads or ridges A, B formed integrally on the clamping members A and B. The spring D is provided with spaced openings, at or near its middle, for the passage of a finger piece D and the shank E of a rearwardly-extending hook E,
Specification of Letters Patent.
the said fingerpiece D forming 'an integral extension of the front clamping member B. The shank E is provided intermediate the hook E and the spring C with a loop or opening E as plainly indicated in the drawings.
In using a single garment hanger, the hook E thereof is hung onto a rod or other support F, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, and thegarment to be supported is clamped between the clamping members A and B, so as to support the garment. When it is desired to use a series of garment hangers then the hook E of one garment hanger is hooked onto the loop or opening E of the next hanger above, and when this is done the finger piece D of one hanger appears in the loop or opening E of the hanger next below, so that the user of the garment hangers can readily press the finger piece D through the opening E to open the clamping members A and B of the particular hanger, by placing a garment in position on the hanger or removing it therefrom.
It is understood that the spring C serves to normally close the clamping members A and B so as to clamp the garment between the said members, the latter being preferably providedat their inner faces with lugs A B to insure a firm hold of the clamping members on the garment.
When using a single hanger, the operator in order to open the clamping members A and B presses the finger piece D and the shank E toward each other, so that the clamping members A and B swing into an open position against the tension of the spring C, and when the finger piece D and the shank E are released of the pressure then the spring O closes the clamping members A and B, to normally clamp the garment between the said members.
The garment hanger shown and described is very simple in construction, can be cheaply manufactured, and even when used in series takes up very little room in a closet or other place, and any desired number of garment hangers may be suspended one from the other to accommodate a corresponding number of garments.
It is understood that a single garment hanger can be readily suspended from a peg, nail, rod or other support F attached to a wardrobe door or the like.
Having thus described my invention, I
