Patented Sept. 6,1921.
Application filed December a, 1919. Serial No. 342,072.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MARION GERARD MoNEnLY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Alpaugh, in the county of Tulare and State of California, have invented certain, new :and useful Improvements in Clothes Hangers and Presser's, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to clothes hangers, and the purpose of my invention is the provision of a hanger which is adapted to support mens or womens suits, in such manner as to efiect a pressing of the skirt or trousers.
It is also the purpose of my inventionto provide a hanger of the above described character which is adjustable to accommodate trousers and skirts of various lengths and to hold the same under tension to efi'ect a pressing thereof.
I will describe one form of hanger embodying my invention and will then point out the novel features thereof in claim.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a view showing in front elevation one form of hanger embodying my invention having applied thereto a mans suit, the latter being shown in phantom.
Fig. 2 is a view showing in rear elevation the hanger shown in Fig. 1,
Figs. 8 to 6 inclusive are detailed perspective views of parts of the hanger shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts in each of the several views.
Referring specificallyto the drawings and particularly to Figs. 1 and 2, C designates.
generally an upper clamping member which is extensibly associated with a lower clamping member L) through the medium of a frame designated generally at F. The upper clamping member C is designed for the dual purpose of supporting a coat thereon and for securing one end of a skirt or trousers thereto, such member in the present instance comprising a plate 15 having an anticlinal upper edge upon which is integrally formed, a pair of laterally extending flanges 16 which'are shaped to conform to the contour of the shoulders of a coat so as to properly support a coat when applied thereto. Between the confronting ends of the flanges 16, the plate 15 is extended upwardly to provide a supporting hook 17, which is formed with a suitable opening to receive a hook or nail 18, as shown in Fig. 1. Hing edly mounted upon the forward side of the rounding-the pintle 19 and interposed between the ears 21 is a. coil spring 22, the opposite ends of which bear against theplates 15 and .15 respectively in such manner that the plate 15? is biased toward the plate 15.
The plate 15 is adapted to be swung'outwardly from the plate 15 and against the tension of the spring 22 by means of a handle 23 formed on the lower edge of the plate 15%. It will beunderstood that in the normal position of-the plate 15 the two plates function as a clamping member for securelyretaining one end of 'a skirt or trousers therebetween. To insure the proper retention of a garment between these plates, such plates are formed, preferably by outstriking, with projections 24 extending longitudinally along the lower edge of the plates. To accommodate certain protuberances on the skirt or trousers, such as buttons or the like, the plate 15 is outstruck longitudinally at 25 so as to provide an internal recess which extends almost the entire length of the plate.
The lower clamping member C is identical in construction to the clamping member C with the exception that it is not provided with a supporting extension or with flanges 16, this variance in structure being obviously due to the fact that the lower clamping member is not designed for the purpose of supporting a coat, but merely for securing the lower end of a skirt or trousers upon the hanger. As is evident from the con sideration of Fig. 1, the clamping member C is reversely arranged as with respect to the clamping member C so that the lower end of the garment may be readily clamped within the member, as illustrated in phantom.
The frame F comprises twoseections 26 and 27, each of which is formed from a single strip of fiat material, such as metal or the like. As shown in Fig. 5, the section 26. is provided at one end with a pair of 'inwardly bent lips 26 which co-act with the main body of the strip to support and slidably receive'the adjacent endof the section 27. The section 27 is without, lips26t,
7 but is adapted to be extensibly'associated with the lower clamping member C through the medium of an extension 28 formed on the inner edge of the; plate 15. This extension 28 is provided with inwardly. extending lips 28 in a mannersimilar to thelips 26 of section 26, so that the extension supports and slidably receives the section 27. The section 26 is exten'sibly associated with the upper clamping member Cthrough the medium of an extension 29 formed on the plate 15, which is identical in. construction to the extension 28 of the member C.-
From the foregoing arrangement, it will beclear that the two sections or the frame F are extensibly associated with each other and with the clamping membersC and C.
The purpose of this arrangement is to allow the distance between the clamping members to be varied to accommodate i skirts or trousers of various lengths and to securely retain the same in extended position to pre-' vent their wrinkling and to maintain the creases therein. To effect a locking ofthe frame sections and clamping membersin any adjusted position, I provide the extensions 28 and 29 and the lower end of section '26 with set screws30 that extend through and bear against the sections 26 and 27 so as'to lock the same against sliding movement. It will thus be seen that after an adjustment of the frame'hasbeen effected to accommodate a skirt or a pair of. trousers of a particular length, the set screws can be tightened, thus preventing further movement of the sections and maintain ing their adjustment. It will be understood that after the skirt or trousers have been applied to the hanger, the coat i'sthen arranged upon the upper clamping member C, asindicated in dash lines in Fig.1.
Although I have herein shown and described only one form of clothes hanger embodying my invention, it is to be understood that various changesand modifications may of one of the members and curved longitudinally and transversely to provide coat supporting elements extensions formed on both of the statlonary plates, lips carried by said extensions, and a frame comprlsing a pair of sections slidably and detachably 'associatedwith said extensions, lips carried by one of the. sections to'slidably and detachably receive the other section, and set screws carried by said extensions and one of said sections-for locking the sections and extensions together. i MARION GERARD MGNEELY.
