CHARLES I4. WARREN, OF JAMAICA, NEW YORK.

GARMENT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 6, 1912.

Patented May 26, 1914.

Serial No. 688,896.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES L. WARREN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jamaica, in the county of Queens, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers;

and I do hereby declare the following to be A still further object of my invention isto provide a garment hanger which may be readily attached to a wall or other suitable support and which will extend outwardly from the wall and thus hold the garments clear of the wall, and a still further object of my invention is to provide a garment hanger of the character described which will be extremely simple in construction and consequently economical to manufacture.

With these and'other objects in view, my.

invention will be more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings which show a preferred embodiment of my device.

and then specifically pointed out in the claim which is attached to and forms a part of this application.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary section showing a detail in construction.

Referring more specifically to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout, my garment hanger consists primarily of a substantially rectangular shaped body member 10, preferably formed of wood, and a supporting member consisting of a strip of metal secured at one end to one end of the body member by means of a screw 11. This strip extends upwardly a considerable distance above the body member as shown at 12 and is then bent sharply downwardly, preferably at an angle of 45 degrees as shown at 13 and the free end of the strip is then bent toward the portion 12 at an angle of substantially 90 degrees to the portion 13 as shown at 14, said end being firmly secured in a kerf formed in the upper face of the body member, said kerf being preferably inclined in the inner end of the body member at an angle of substantially 45 degrees. The portion 12 of the strip is provided with a plurality of screw receiving perforations 15 by means of which the hanger may be secured to a wall or other suitable support in the position shown in Fig. 1, a wall being there shown in dotted lines. Secured at spaced intervals along the lower face of the body member and extending downwardly therefrom are a plurality of hooks 16 having upwardly directed terminals 17, said hooks being adapted to receive the garments or the customary hangers for holding garments.

From the foregoing description it will be apparent that I have provided an extremely simple and effective form of garment hanger adapted to receive a number of garments and to hold them clear of the wall and the other end portion being disposed against that end of the block in the direction of which the kerf ranges, the end of the plate against the end of the block having a perforation and a fastening member passed therethrough and into the block, said end portion of the plate above the block having other perforations to receive securing means.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES L. WARREN.
