L. M. DANKLEFS GARMENT SUSPENSION MEANS Filed Feb. 24, 1925 jfttbryyw Patented July 6, 1926.
UNITED STATES LEWIS M. DANKLEFS, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
GARMENT-SUSPENSION MEANS.
Application filed February 24, 1925. Serial No. 11,126.
It is the object of this invention to provide supporting means adapted for suspension from the arms of a coat hanger so as to engage trousers, skirts, or the like for suspending the same from the hanger, the supporting means being readily mounted on or removed from the coat hanger, and gripping the latter so as to releasably hold the supports in adjusted position longitudinally of the hanger arms.
More particularly it is the object of the invention to provide suspension members of extremely simple and inexpensive construction, making it possible to supply said members gratis with the usual inexpensive coat hangers such as are usually supplied without charge with garments returned from a cleaning establishment.
It is a further object of the invention to mount the suspension members on a coat hanger without changing the construction of the latter in any way, and to clamp the suspension members in adjusted position along the hanger arms, irrespective of the width of the latter.
The invention will be readily understood from the following description of the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a coat hanger with the improved suspension hooks.
Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the arm of a coat hanger showing the hook mounted thereon.
A coat hanger of inexpensive construction, such as usually supplied with a garment returned from the cleaners, isshown as an arcuate strip of wood or the like, designated by the numeral 1, and having the usual suspension hook 2 medially of its length.
In order to deliver trousers, skirts, etc., with a. coat or the like mounted on the hanger proper, suspension members are mounted on the arms of the hanger and engage the waist band of the trousers or the like which are to be suspended therefrom.
The suspension members are mounted on the hanger without change in the construc- 'tion of the latter, and are of such inexpensive construction that they may be supplied gratis to the customers of a cleaning establishment and thrown away after use.
For this purpose the suspension members are shown as wires bent to form depending shanks 3, with pointed hooks 4 at the lower ends thereof adapted to pierce the garment to be supported thereby.
The suspension hooks, are adapted for quick-detachable mounting on the arms of hanger 1, so that trousers, etc., may be engaged by the hooks, and the latter then slipped on the arms of the hanger which is adapted to receive the corresponding coat or the like. As an instance of this arrangement the upper ends of shanks 3 are bent forwardly as shown at 5, thence downwardly as shown at 6, and finally rearwardly as shown at 7, in order to form a loop adapted to slide on the hanger arm.
Meansare provided in the loops for frictionally clamping the same in adjusted po sition along the hanger arms, and since the coat hangers such as will be used with the suspension hooks are of somewhat variable width but substantially uniform thickness, the clamping means are adapted to engage the sides of the hanger arms so as to insure an efficient clamping action on any hanger.
The clamping means are shown as inwardly bowed offsets 8 in the front portions of the suspension loops, adapted to frictionally engage the side of the hanger so as to hold the hooks in adjusted position, but permitting said clamping action to be readily manually overcome, so that the hooks may be shifted longitudinally of the hanger or disengaged therefrom, by sliding the loops of the hook structures along the hanger arms.
By providing the clamping means at the side of the hanger, a snug fit of the retaining loops on the vertical width of the hanger arms is not essential, and the loops may therefore be made of a size to accommodate the usual variations in such vertical width.
When a garment is suspended from a pair of hooks mounted on the arms of a hanger, the hooks are spread apart as far as possible, so that the tension of the suspended garment will tend to tilt the hook structures, and thereby provide additional clamping means by the engagement of the portions 5 and 7 of the retaining loops, with the top and bottom of the hanger.
I claim:
A garment suspension means adapted for removable mounting upon a coat hanger which consists of an arcuate strip having supporting means medially thereof, said suspension means comprising a shank having a garment piercing hook at one end thereof and bent at its opposite end to form a closed loop conforming substantially to the cross-sectional contour of the arcuate strip and adapted to be slipped over the end of said arcuate strip and slid along the same by pressure lengthwise of the arcuate strip and against the suspension means at its loop end, said loop having an inwardly bowed yieldable portion medially of one side of the loop adapted to automatically frictionally engage the side of the arcuate strip and thereby twist the loop on an axis at said inwardly bowed portion instead of shifting the suspension means along the arcuate strip 1 When a strain lengthwise of the arcuate strip is initially placed upon the hook end of the suspension means, said twisting of the loop clamping its top and bottom against the top and bottom of the arcuate Strip to 20 In testimony whereof I have affixed my 25 signature to this specification.
