MACHINE FOR MAKING CLOTHES-HANGERS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. a, rain.
Application filed February 17 1914. Serial No. 819,167.
Be it known that we, FERDINAND M. RAUsoHEn and LOUIS RnxRo'ri-I, J12, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making Clothes'Hangers, of which the following is a specification. v
With the rapid growth and extension of the clothes cleaning business, a large demand for clothes hangers has arisen.
This invention relates to a machine for the manufacture of clothes hangers; and the object of the invention consists in the provision'of a machine of the above character which, in addition to its simplicity of construction and eniciency of operation, can be manufactured and sold at a nominal price to enable the proprietor of the most modest cleaning establishment to own one of the machines.
A further object of the invention consists in the provision of a machine of the above character on which unskilled labor around the cleaning establishment-can, at odd times, be employed in the manufacture of the necessary hangers.
We accomplish the above objects of our invention by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in which dotted line 66. Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 6, except that the hanger is in a more advanced state of completion. Fig. 8 1s a view similar to Fig. 7, except that the hanger is shown in a completed condition. Referring to the drawings, the machine comprises a supporting frame of the angleiron uprights 10 forming the legs for supporting the table top 11. In order to add rigidity to the uprights 10 they are tied together by means of suitable braces 12 and former comprising a plate 15 suitably secured to the table top 11 at one end of said top. The wire 14' is purchased in the usual v form of rolls, oneof which is placed upon a receiving reel 18 which 1s supported at one end of the machine by the uprights 10. This reel rotates freely. to enable the Wire to pay out at which time it is cut into uniform lengths, each section of wire out being of sufiici'ent length to form a complete hanger. To insure each section cut from the roll to be of uniform length we provide a receptacle 23 into which the free end of the Wire 14 is introduced until the end of the wire contacts the end of said receptacle, the distance between the end of the receptacle and the cutter device being such that a piece ofwire conforming to this intervening space will be sufficient to form a complete hanger. It will roll for, in a manner, it coincides to the curved r1b'20 and, therefore, materially assists the operation of bending the wire in forming the hanger.
The forming plate 15 is provided with a projecting circular rib 25 around which the wire is initially bent to form the hook 25 by which the hanger is suspended. To one side of the rib 25 is the rib 26 which is sufliciently removed from the rib 25 to leave an intervening space adapted to receivejand hold the end of the wire 14 during the operation of bending the same into a hanger.
As the wire leaves the rib 25 it passes across the front edge of the rib24: which forms the neck of the hanger and thence passes over the outer curved surface of a two-part curved rib 20 upon which the body of the hanger is formed. "The front edge of said rib 2a is arranged to stand parallel with a line passing through the transverse center of the plate 15 and circular rib25. The rib 20 is remotely located fromthe rib 25 and extends an equal distance on eachside of a'line'extending through the transverse center of the plate 15 and rib 25. wire passes over the outer curved surface of the rib 20 and extends horizontally from.
The
' vide acutter device comprisingan upright one end of the rib to the other, and this horizontal portion of the hanger is held in alinement by means of the ribs 22 and af- 'fords the means for supporting the trous'ers. When the hanger is'removed from the former'the free end ofthe wire is left disconnected, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, and this free end is then inserted into the aperture 27 in the margin of the plate 15 and is formed into a hook 28. See Fig. 7. The hanger is now passed into the slot 30, in the plate 15, thehook 28 being brought into line and acted upon by means of a movable plunger 31, whereby the hook 28, as shown in Fig. 7, is bent around the neck of the hanger and against the curved body thereof,
. as shown in Fig. 8.0f the drawings.
As shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings. the plunger com rises a movable bar 31 which passes through suitable apertures 32 in the lugs 33 formed integrally with the plate 15, and said plunger is moved forward to close the hook in the Wire 14 by means of a bellcrank 36 which is pivoted at 37 tothe plate 15. The rearend of the lever 36 "terminates in an arm 40 which contacts the end of the plunger 31, and said plunger is normally held in a retracted position against the lever 36 and the front end of the plunger is normally held clear of the slot 30 in plate 15 by means of the spring 41. The lever 36 and plunger 31 are actuated by means of a foot pedal 43. which is connected tothe lever 36 by means of a connecting rod 44. 35
In order to make the. machine compact and enable all-of the work connected with the manufacture of clothes ha'ng'ers to be performed on the same machine, we pro- ',conveniently' locatedon the upper surface of the table top 11 so that as the wire 14 is paid off the reel 18 it is-passed through an aperture 51' in said upright. The aperture 51 is best shownin' Fig. 3 of the'drawingsl A cutter bar 53 is pivoted at 54 to the upright 50, and said cutter bar may be lowered to severthe wire by means of a footlever 56which is connected toth'e cutter bar 53 by means of a cdnnec'ting rod 58. The
posed, by means of a spring 59.
While we have described our invention Patent, is
with more or less minuteness as regards details of construct on and arrangement and as being embodied in certain precise forms,
we do not desire to be'limited thereto unduly or anv more than is pointed out in the claims. On the contrary, we contemplate vention, what we desire to secure by Letters 1 1. A machine of the above specified class comprising a supporting frame, a clothes hanger former plate arranged on said frame, a rib on said plate to form the supporting hook for the'hanger, a rib arranged at one side of said first rib to provide an inter-' vening space to receive andhold the endof the wire comprising the hanger, a curved rib arranged to extend an equal distance on both sides of said first rib and arranged re- -motely therefrom, and a rib located between the first-named rib andcurved rib and having its front edge extending parallel with a line through'the transversecenter of said first-named rib'and said curved rib.
2. A machine of the above specified class comprising a supporting frame, a'clothes hanger former plate arranged on said frame and provided with an aperture near its marginal edge for bending the terminal end of the wire into a hook, a curved rib on said I plate, a circular rib located remotely from line passing transversely through the center o'fithe curved and circular ribs.
In witness whereof, we have hereunto set ourhands and seals at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 10th day 'of February, A. D. one thousand nine hundred and fourteen.
