PORTABLE GARMENT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 21, 1914.

Application filed November 25, 1912. Serial No. 733,443.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH H. M. J. F. FoRLoNo, of the city of New York, in the State of New York, United States of America, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Garment- Hangers, of which the following is the specification.

My invention relates to improvements in portable garment hangers, and the object of the invention is to devise a hanger of this class particularly adaptable for use in limited spaces such as cupboards and steamer wardrobes and which may be folded in to a small compass for packing in a suit case or trunk and it consists essentially of a pair of tubular members, one member telescopically held within the other and loop members pivoted at each end of the telescopic member and designed to fold when collapsed to each side of such telescopic member and hooks for suspending the loops from suitable supports as hereinafter more particularly explained by the following specification.

Figure 1, is a general perspective view of my device showing the application thereof. Fig. 2, is a view of my device collapsed for the purpose of packing. Fig. 3, is a view of my garment hanger showing alternative way for supporting the same.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

A is a telescopic tubular member formed and A the portion A fitting and slidably held within the portion A.

B and B are metal loops pivoted to each side and at the outer end'of the portions A and A The upper erid of the loops are preferably bent at right angles to the major portion-of the loop so that when folded in to position shown in Fig. 2, such right angular portions will extend around the member A and allow of the major portion of the loop to lie parallel with such member.

C are hooks of any suitable form designed to be screwed in to the top or side walls of the cupboard to support the loops B and B.

From this description it will be seen that I have devised a ham er which may be adapted to any sized cup card merely by drawing the portions A and A longitudinally of each other and spacing the hooks C in the required position in the top of the cupboard or in the side walls of the cupboard so that the loops B and B may be hung therefrom. When packing my hanger all that it is necessary to do is to remove the hooks and push the members A and A longitudinally within each other and then fold the loops B and B downwardly in to the position shown in Fig. 2.

What I claim as my invention is:

A portable garment hanger, consisting of two telescoping tube members, a loop pivotally connected to the free ends of each of said tube members, said loop members terminating in angularly disposed free ends of such shape as to conform to the shape of its attaching tube member and being adapted to fold down and partially embrace said tube.
