1 "umu: rncns cu. Pmmur" ELIZABETH SUTHERLAND, 0F KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
GAMENT-HANGER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented. Jan. 14., 191e.
Application led January 30, 1918i Serial No. 214,513.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that l, ELIZABETH M. SUTH- nnLnND, a citizen ot the United States of America, residing at Kansas City, 1n the State o Missouri,
usei'ul lmprove of which the county of Jackson and have invented new and ments in Garmentlangers, following is a specification.
As a garment hanger, the invention seeks to provide, as its principal object, a device of this kind having two T-shaped members hingedly connected together and a tlat ll-shaped spring partly surrounding the hinged connection and bearing upon the two members, this spring tending to keep those ends of the members composing the cross legs oi' the Ts in contact with each other.
il further object of the invention is to provide means for attaching the V-shaped spring in such a way that it maybe easily detached without the disengagement of the two members, thereby providing means Jfor the convenient replacing of a tired or damaged spring with a new one.
A still further object makes provision for the inversion of the \l-shaped spring to hold the 'lV-shaped members normally apart, so that a garment may be supported vice in a manner similar to the way in which the garment is supported on the body, this arrangement being conducive to the drying oit the garment, should it be damp or wet.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a device of this kind which is simple in construction, durable and eective in operation and which may be manufactured at low cost.
Still other and further objects will appear as the invention is set forth in detail in the description which follows.
'lhe embodiment in which the invention drawings is at p to be the most eiiicient but the actual reduction to practice may show certain changes and alteration to be ot advantage. The right, therefore, is reserved to make such changes or alterations in so far as they may be compatible with the spirit of the Subj oined claim.
ln the accompanying drawings:
Figure l is a perspective view of the invention, showing the manner of application.
llig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view.
lig. 3 is a perspective view ot' the V- shaped spring member employed to keep the by the de# 'ektending transverse-ly two members composing the hanger normally together.
Fig. 4 is a side view ot the invention showinga second method of application.
Referring to the drawings, the invention is shown in the application or' securing the i i skirt l, so that the latter may be convenient y hung in a wardrobe or cupboard without exposing it to the danger of being wrinkled.
The hanger by which the skirt is hung comprises two T-shaped members Q and 3, the cross legs l of which constitute clamping jaws for the skirt, or trousers, or whatever other piece of wearing apparel it is desired to hang neatly in a cupboard.
Un the vertical legs of the T-shaped members 2 and 3 at specilied points above the cross legs or jaw members fl, there are 5 and 6, the ears 5 being attached to the member 2 and the ears G -to the member 3 The pair of ears on each member obtain in a plane at right angles to the plane of that member and the two ears 5 on the member Q are the requisite distance apart to permit them to abut on the inside the twoears 6 of the member 3. The members 2 and 3 are hingedly connected to gether by means'oi these ears and a pin across the vertical the two members eects a pivot conlegs of between each pair of the two adianection two members 2 and 3, are posed with respect to the remainder of the legs. Beginning at points just above the ears 5 and 6, these two upper ends diverge, the upper end of member 2 terminating at a suitable point above the ears to leave the said upper end a suitable length to permit the member to have its lower jaw separated from the lower jaw of the member 3 by pressure exerted by the finger on the upper end. The upper end of the vertical leg of the member 3 exceeds the length of the upper end of the member 2 by a sufficient amount to permit the forming thereon of a hook 8 by means of which the device as a whole may be conveniently hung on the hook of the wardrobe.
To provide means for keeping the jaw fl normally together a V-shaped spring 9 is provided. 'lhis spring is so positioned that the pin 7 engages in the crotch between its two legs, the legs of the spring rising and bearing against the upper ends of the ver-4 `come damaged 01 ycontinued use, it
gaged from the projections ll,
tical legs of 'the members 2 and 3 at points Just above th :conjunction withithe protuberances l0 tend `to keep .the spring Qin pl ace. It will be observed that the Y pressure eX- erted by the lingers on the dii/erging .ends
.of .the members 2 and 3 will result in the separation of their 20 ythe pressure of the jaw members 4 against spring 9, `the spring 9 tending normally to keep the jaw members 4 in Contact and in a 'clamped position on any wearing apparelw'hich the device as a whole is designed to support.
In the event that the spring 9 should beweakened as a result of may be conveniently removed and replaced with a new spring, the removal of the springconsisting only in :pressing its free ends toward each other until the protuberances l0 may be disenafter which the removal may be completed by vithdrawing the spring from below the pin 7.
It will be observed that this removal of Copies ofthis patent may be obtained for vecents each,
