DRESS SEPABATOB.

Application filed January so, was. Serial 1''... sums.

To, all whom it may concern; Be it known that 1, PAUL M. FRANK, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of New York borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Dress Separator, of which the following is a description.

My invention relates to a device for use garments, particularly dresses, and adapte. to be suspended from the pole, rack or other supporting means between the garments.

The general object of my invention is to 18 rovide a device for theindicated purpose aving stabilit to maintainits form and presenting sur aces adapted to permit of the garments being completely separated to prevent entanglements and to facilitate the and removal of one garment inde 11 ently of adjacent garments. 4

ference is to be had to the accompany ing drawings forming a part of this specification, it being understood that the draw- 25 ings are merely of the invention.

Figure 1 is an end view of a luralitiy of my imsroved dress separators pose tween resses suspended by garment hang-. an era from a'pole;

Figure 2 is afaoe view with aportion' of the paper covering broken away;

Figure 3 is an enlarged vertical section of the upper portion of the dress as arator.

In carrying out my invention m practice a dress separator indicated generally by; the

numeral is formed of two or more t ickedges of which is a fabric binding strip 12 4 extending about the separator at the four sides. The device has such an areaso that when suspended between rments on hangers B suspended from apo e C, rack or other support, the separators 10- will afford a comat plete separation of adjacent garments and present a smooth surface to both.

The separator is provided with a hanger device designated generall by the numeral 13 which presents a shank aving a hook 14 to suspend the device from. the pole C or like sup ort.

of the anger 13 the wire forming the illustrative of one example From the base of the shankhanger extends in opposite directions obliquely as at 15 between the cardboard sheets 11, said members 15 forming securing members to firmly fasten the hanger in position. The terminal ends of the members 15 'advantageously extend between bindin strips 12. In order to resist any possib e tendency of the members 15 of the ban er 13 to pull out from between the card ard sheets 11, I provide suitable fasteners 16 uniting the upper ends of the cardboard sheets 11.

With the above described device the garments A are prevented from becoming entangled one with another and each garment may be placed or removed without disturbing adjacent garments.

I would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of m invention, I do not limit myself strictly to the exact details herein illustrated, since, manifestly, the same can be considerably varied without departure from the spirit of the invention asdefined in the ap ended claims.

Having thus ascribed my invention, I claim 1. A- garment separator presenting a broad area to be disposed between adjacent suspended the edges of said sheets, and a hanger having a hook at the upper end and having at the base thereof diverging members extending obliquely between the cardboard sheets, together with fastener means passed above the said diverging members of the hanger.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a

arments and comprising sheets. of stiff car board, a binder extending about through the cardboard sheets at the top nesses 11 of stiff cardboard applied to the separator board for suspended dresses and I other garments, said separator board presenting a broad area of stiff material adapted to be disposed between adjacent suspending garments to completely as arate the same, and. hanger means on sai separator at the top.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a dress separator formed of stiff cardboard and presenting a broad area to constitute a separator between, ad'acent suspending garments, the oppositesides presenting subetantieiiy smooth surfaces, and e hanger herring base members incorporated in said eegarstor between the cardboard sheets.

A5 a new artiele of manufacture, a dress separator formed of stifi' cardboard and presenting-a broad area to constitute separator between ediacent suspending garments, the opposite si es presenting suba m a stantially smooth surfaces, and a hanger having base members incorporated in said 1 PAUL M.
