Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 2, 191?.
Application filed March 18, 1916. Serial No. 85,056.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALICE T. WHYTE, a citizen of the United States, residing at 45 North Arlington avenue, East Orange, county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers, fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same.
This invention relates to a garment hanger adapted to fit within the shoulders of a waist, coat or jacket, and having a suspending eye with shank projected from the middle of the hanger to suspend the hanger with the garment upon a suitable support.
The object of the invention is to provide a form for the body of the hanger which may be produced in one piece by molding of plastic composition, and which form is especially designed to afford strength and stiffness with a small amount of such ma terial. The form devised to effect such results comprises a hollow body made in one piece of material of much greater depth than width, with semi-tubular edges and concaved or grooved sides. Such construction forms a hollow beam with the greatest resistance to strain in its upper and lower edges, and it is suspended from one of its edges so that the beam is presented edgewise to the weight, and thus supports the strain most advantageously. Celluloid is preferably employed for this article as it does not require vulcanizing but is readily made soft by heat and hardens again as soon as it is cooled. The eye may be made closed, or open on one side to form a hook, and the shank of the eye is preferably swiveled to a washer which is embedded within the edge of the hanger-body in the process of manufacture. Such hollow articles are made of plastic material by laying a portion of a tube of the material within a suitable mold, and when the mold is closed heating and eX- panding the tube by hot air, water or steam with sufficient pressure to conform the material to the interior of the mold.
The method of manufacture, as well as the finished article are shown in the annexed drawing, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of one-half of a mold with the hanger shown therein, partly in section where hatched; Fig. 2 is a plan of the hanger; Fig. 3 is a cross section of the hanger with semi-tubular edges, the section being taken on line 2-2 in Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a similar section of alternative shape.
The hanger-body is shown of hollow flattened form, with the ends downwardly curved from the center; and the body is shown with its edges a, a of semi-tubular shape and the sides 6 of the body concaved intermediate to such edges, thus making the body much thinner at the middle of its width than at the ends. This shape affords great stiffness and lightness for the amount of material employed.
7 Fig. 4 shows the section of the body with a hollow ridge a at the middle of its width, and concavities 7) intermediate to such ridge and the semi-tubular edges of the body.
In both forms the body is of much greater depth than thickness, and its upper and lower edges are especially adapted to resist the strain which is thrown edgewise upon the hanger. Either form may be produced with equal facility in the process of molding, and serves to give the hanger an ornamental and distinctive appearance, added to great stiffness for the amount of material employed. The crowding of the sides inwardly close to one another prevents injury to the body from lateral pressure, as might otherwise happen in handling or transportation.
One-half of the mold c is shown in Fig. 1 with a hole in which the shank f of the eye is snugly washer d is inserted in the blank of plastic tube material through an aperture in the side of the same when placed in the mold, and is held therein by the shank f during the molding operation. The eye 9 is shown formed as a hook open at one side, but may be closed if preferred. Pipes h are shown extended into the interior of the hangerbody in opposite ends of the mold by which fluid under pressure is applied to press the material into the shape of the mold, and when thus shaped cold water is circulated fitted, and the swiveling through the body to cool and harden the material before its removal from the mold. The mold is shaped to form a reinforced seat 0 on the top of the body, at the middle of its length, the blank being provided with body of greater depththan Widt-hmnd made" and eoneaved side's With-reinfdreed seat at in one piece and having tubular edges'and the-middle of the top, a Washer beneath the concaved sides, and a suspendingweye havsaid seat and a suspending eye having its 10 ing its shank seeurdin said body. shank s e chred in the" said Washer.
