Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 12, 1921.
Application filed June 16, 1920. Serial No. 389,372.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THEODORE Vnero, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Combination Clothes Hanger and Stretcher, of which the following is a specication.
The object of my invention is to provide a clothes-hanger which at the same time may serve for the purpose of stretching garments, especially trousers; thereby obviating in a large measure the necessity of paying for the pressing of garments.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a front-elevation of my device with a pair of trousers clamped therein, shown in dotted line; Fig. 2 is a sectional view of my device in the plane indicated by line 22 in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a perspective side-view of my device with a pair of trousers clamped therein on one end, and about to have their other end clamped therein in position to be stretched; and Fig. 1 is a side-elevation showing my device in a folded position, ready for packing or shipping.
Referring to the drawings :-To a wooden frame 10, of the shape of a common triangular clothes-hanger, there is attached, near the top, a hook 11, and, parallel with base bar 12, a clamping bar 13, movably secured at one end to frame 10 by hinge 14:, and adapted to have its other end locked in position against frame 10 by a locking device 15 of any suitable construction; the lockingdevice shown in the drawings consisting of a screw-eye 16 entered into frame 10 and adapted to enter a horizontal slot 17 in auxiliary bar 13, and a pin 18, entered into auxiliary bar 13 and screw-eye 16. Into base-bar 12 there is mortised, at rightangles thereto, at the center thereof, the upper end of depending bar 19 to the lower end of which there is attached, by means of a hinge 20, a similar bar 21, the lower end of which is mortised into bar 22 which extends parallel to base-bar 12, and to which there is attached a clamping-bar 23 by a hinge 24 and locking-device 25 in the same .way as clamping-bar 13 is attached to frame 10. To the back of depending bar 19 there is movably attached, near its middle, by means of screw-eye 26 and pin 27 the upper end of a bar 28 the lower end of which is adapted to be secured to the back of bar 21 by a locking device 29, preferably consisting of screw-eye 30 and pin 31.
The operation of my device is asfollows: After my device has been hung up on a suitable hook or. pin, locking pin 31 is withdrawn from screw-eye 30, and the garment, such as trousers 32, to bestretched, is thereupon clamped in position, with one end between base-bar 12 and auxiliary bar 13 and the other end between bar 22 and auxiliary bar 23, while bar 22 and auxiliary bar 23 are slightly lifted so as to place bar 21 at a slight angle to bar 19, as
shown in Fig. 3. Bar 22 and auxiliary bar 23 are thereupon pushed back so as to bring bar 21 in contact with the lower end of bar 28, thereby effecting a stretching of the garment. Pin 31 is thereupon re-inserted into screw-eye 30 so as to lock the lower end of bar 28 to the back of bar 21. Stretching of the garment will be thus continued as long as it is held in my device. A coat and vest may readily be hung over frame 10 in the same manner as is done in the case of other clothes-hangers.
It will be noticed that the degree of stretching of the garment may readily be varied by lifting bars 22 and 23 more or less when the garment is being clamped in position.
My device can easily be folded for pack ing and shipment, as shown in Fig. 4.
It is evident that the construction of my device might be changed in numerous details without departing from the essential features of my invention. All such changes I desire to cover by my claim.
I claim A combination clothes-hanger and stretchercomprising a substantially triangular clothes-hanger; a stretching bar mortised with one end into the base-bar of the clotheshanger at the middle thereof and extending at right angles therefrom; a second stretching bar of substantially equal length with the first mentioned stretching bar hinged to the other end of the first mentioned stretching bar, and carrying a cross-bar at its other end, being mortised into the same; clamping bars, of substantially equal length with said base-bar and cross-bar, hinged thereto, re spectively; screw-eyes in the base-bar and cross-bar, respectively, adapted to project into slots in the free ends of said clamping bars; pinsadapted to cooperate With said screw-eyes for locking said clamping bars; screw-eyes projecting from the rear of the 5 stretching bars near their middle; a locking bar pivoted With one end .on a pin en-V gaging the screw-eye projecting from one of said stretching bars and adapted to have its other end engaged by 'a pin entered into the screw-eye projecting from the other of 10 said stretching bars; and a hook attached to the clothes-hangef; substantially as and for the purposedesoribed.
' THEODORE VRBIC.
