' SKIBL HANGER.
Application filed August 1, 1922. Serial No. 578,924.
To aZZ whom it may concern.
Be it known that we, ROBERT H. Glens and BYRON V. THmLn, citizens of the United States, residing at'Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirt Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to ii'nprovements 1n 0 garment hangers, designed primarily for hanging skirts, butit is to be understood that the device can be employed tor any purposes wherein it is found applicable,
and has for its object, to provide a device oi" this class, in a manner as'liereinafter set forth, for supporting or hanging skirts of different sizes and which will automatically and positively hold itself in any adjusted position.
Further objects of the invention are to provide a garment hanger, which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, compact, automatically adjusting itself to garments of various sizes, durable, convenieut and efficient in its use, readily assembled and inexpensiveto manufacture.
l Vith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be-understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claim hereunto appended.
In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure .1 is an elevation of a garment hanger in accordance with this invention and further illustrated in dotted lines, the supporting arm shifted to adjusted position,
Figure 2 is a sectional plan,
Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3, Figure 1,
Figure 4 is a section on line 4- 2, Figure 1, Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 1 of a modified form and,
Figure 6 is a sectional plan of the mothfication.
Referring to Figures 1 to 4 of the draw-- ings, 10 denotes a supporting member formed of an elongated flat narrow strip" of" suitable material, preferably wood, and which is provided in proximity at each end thereof with a combined stop, guide and re taining element in the form of an inverted yoke, as at 11, and which has the arms thereof secured to the side faces of the member 10, by the hold-fast devices 12. Each ot the elements 11 is positioned slightly in-- wardly with respect to an end of the member 10. V Mounted on the member 10 is a pair of oppositely disposed hanger arms 13, 14, and each of which is formed of an elongated li'at, narrow strip of suitable material, preferably wood and of a width equal to thewidth of the member 10, so that the sides of the arms 13, 14 will be flush with the sides of the member 10. The arms 13, 14-, are automatically adjustable laterally'with respect to the member 10 and the means for such adjustment of the arms 18, 14 will be presently referred to. The inner end of each of the arms 13, 14, is provided with a combined guide and retainer element, in the form of a yoke, as at 15, and the arms of the yoke 15 are secured to the sides of a hanger arm by the hold-fast devices 16.
The combined stop, guide and retaining elements 11 overlap the hanger arms 13, 14,
whereby these latter are connected with the member 10 and are guided during the adjustment thereof. The combined guide and retaining elements 15 overlap the member 10 and connect the arms 13, 14-, to said member 10 as well as to provide guides during the adjustment of the hanger arms.
The outer end of each of the arms 13, 14-, has secured thereto, by the hold-fast devices 17, a pad 18, which has a curved pcriphery, and is of a material different from that which the hanger arms are constructed of, and of a material as not to damage the article which is suspended from the hanger arm.
Each of the hanger arms 13, 14, in proXimity to the element 15, has secured thereto at its longitudinal center a vertically disposed transversely extending eye 19, and to tractible bail 21, which is coiled interme diate its end, as at 22, to increasethe tension thereof The functionofthe bail 21 is tono'rmally project the hanger arms 13,
and to further provide means wherebythe hanger armscan be adjusted laterally, with respect to the member 10, when the device is employed to hang garments or skirts of, different size. The outward movement of the hanger arms 13, 14, is arrested through the medium of the elements 11, which are adapt-- edtoengage the eyes 19 on the outwardly movement of the arms 13, 14:, whereby such movement is arrested.-
Referring to Figures 5 and 6 of the drawings, the device is formed 1 of a pair of hanger arms 23, 24:, the former :being .of
\ greater length than thelatter and the latter is mounted andshifts on the arm 23. Theouter end of each of the arms 23, 24, has secured thereto, .a pad 25 for the same purpose as the pad 18 The inner end of the arm ,23, has secured thereto, by the holdfast devices 26, a combined stop, guide and retaining .elementwhich consists of a vertically disposed inverted yoke 27 overlappingthe arm 24, whereby the latter is connected to the arm 23. The inner end of the arm 24: has-secured thereto, by the holdfast devices 28, a depending combinedguide and retaining 'element 29, which overlaps the arm 2 3,whereby the latter and. the arm 24 are connectedtogether. i
Secured to each-of the arms 23, 24, intermediate the ends thereof, is an. eye 30, to which is connected the looped lower end 31, of a leg-of, an expansible and contract- -ible bail 32, which is, coiled as at 33 to increase the tension thereof.
The element v 27 acts as a stop to limit the outward movement of one of the legs of the bail 32 so that the, arms23, 24, cannot be separated. If the arm 23 is shifted laterally with respect to the ariir24c, the element will engage an eye 30 and if the-arm 24: is shifted outwardly with respect to the arm 23, the
The bails 21 and 32 normally project the hanger arms outwardly to the outward same eye referred to will engage the element limits of their movement and the hanger arms can be readily shifted inwardly, against the tension of the bails, so that the hanger, can be adjusted to provide for sus slidably connecting said arms to. said support, an inverted yoke-shaped combined stop and guide secured to the sides at each end of said support and overlapping and slidably connecting said arms to the support, an expansible and: contractile bail coiled centrally of its ends to provide a pair of resilient arms, each of said bail arms having its free end formed with a loop,ja vertically extending eye secured to the inner end of each of said hanger arms forwardly withrespect to a guide and loosely con nectinga looped end of a bail arm to a hanger arm, said eyes disposed at the longitudinalcenter of and extending transversely with respect to said hanger arms and engageable by said combined guide and stop members to arrest the outward movement imparted to said hanger arms by said bail arms. 1 v
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures hereto. 7
