Application filed September 6, 1923. Serial No. 661,172.

My invention relates generally to improvements in coat hangers, but relates more particularly to hangers of the type that are secured to the coat in the nature of a band.

It has been the common practice heretofore to secure a band of material to the collar of the coat usually by stitching it at the ends. Such hangers usually last but a little while as it is very diflicult to sew them in place so that they will withstand the weight of the coat, particularly in heavy overcoats and the like. Nevertheless this type of coat band hanger still prevails It is an object of my invention to provide an improved type of coat band hanger which shall overcome the objections hereinbefore.

referred to.

Another object of my invention is to provide a coat band hanger which shall be sim-' ple in construction; inexpensive to manufacture and which can be quickly and easily secured to the garment.

Another object of my invention is to provide a coat band hanger which can be so rigidly secured to the garment that it will easily be able to withstand the weight of even the heavy overcoat and which at the same time shall embody no objectionable protruding portions.

.My invention consists generally in a coat band hanger of the form, arrangement, construction and in the means of attachment to the garment, whereby the above named objects together with others that will appear hereinafter are attainable, and my invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate what I consider, at the present time,

' to be the preferredembodiment thereof.

In said drawings: Fig. 1 is a face view of a portion of the collar part of the garment with a coat hanger embodying my invention secured thereto.

Fig. 2 is a view of the opposite side of the collar, the collar being turned up better to disclose the fastening means.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional View substantially on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

Fig.4 is a perspective view of the coat hanger band detached from the garment, but with the fastening devices afliXed thereto.

' Fig. 5 is a face view of one of the fastentightly woven cloth. For fastening it to the arment I provide a fastener 2 which 18 composed of a body portion 3 from the opposite sides of which project a plurality of sharp tongue-like members 4 and 5. The tongue-like members 4 and 5 are bent at right an les to the body portion 3 as, indicated at Fig. 6 and then one member 2 is aflixed at each end of the band 1 as indicated in Fig. 4, the body portion 3 being disposed on one side of the band and the tongue members 4 and 5 projecting therethrough to the opposite side.

I preferably afiix the band 1 to the garment 3 in the following manner. The tongue members 4 and '5 of the fastening device at the end 6 of the band 1 are forced through the goods 7 of the garment and the end portions thereof bent downwardly into contact with the opposite face of the goods. As shown, the tongue members 4 and 5 are bent toward each other, but if desired they may be bent in opposite directions, or part thereof may be bent toward each other and part away from each other. After one end of the band is thus affixed the band is folded back upon itself so that the body portion 3 of the metal fastening device is hidden by the band. The opposite end 8 of the band collar.

The device as thus affixed is very secure, so much so that it would practically be necessary to tear the very body of the garment in order to displace the band and by making the band 1 of sufficiently strong material, a coat hanger is provided which will practically last the life of the garment.

The many advantages of my device will be apparent to those skilled in the art to hidden by the outer flap portion of the I which this relates Without further comment.

I claim:

A coat hanger comprising in combination with a garment, a band, a plate on each end 5 of the band said band ends being folded back upon the intermediate portion of said band, each plate having tongues passing through said band en ds and through said
