COAT SACKER.

Application led November This invention relates to improvements in coat sackers, and has for one of its principal objects the provision of means whereby coats and suits, after being cleaned or the like, may be conveniently and readily placed in sacks, bags or other suitable coverings for purposes oi delivery or storage. n

v (liuc of the principal objects ot thls 1nvention is to provide, in a coat sacher, new and useful means for supporting` coats or` suits upon hangers or the like, andrin position for ready insertion into bags or other coverings, and withy a minimum expenditure oi time and labor. s y A Still another important object of this 1nvent-ion is to provide, in a` coat sacher, `means :tor eleva-ting` and depressing a support for a coat hanger or the like in order to allow of a ready and economical application of a suitable con.,ainer to a coat, suit, orrother similar article. p v

Other and further important objects of this invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the accompanying drawings and following specification. 1 i i i v The invention, in a preferred iorm, is illustratedV in the drawings and hereinafter more i'ully described.

ln the drawings: i,

Figure l is a frontelevation of the improved coat sacher of this invention, shown in its elevated position. i

Figure 2 is a similar view, parts being,` broken away and in section', showing the de vice in its lowered position and illustrating` the operating parts.

Figure 3 is a side view, partly in section, showing` further details of construction.

As shown in the drawings: y The reference numeral l0 indicates gcnerally the base ol the improved coat sacher ol" this invention, adapted to be suitably positionelil upon a door and solidly maintained thereon by means ofbolts 12 or the like.

lllounled on the base l() is an upstanding clement 11.4 within which is slidably and telescopically mounted a corresponding element i6 which has, in turn, telescopically mounted therein an additional extension 1S. At the top of the member 18is aiiixed a hook 2O Jfor the purpose of removably supporting the coat hanger or similar member.

An operating lever 22 is pivotally mounted upon an upstanding lug 24 on the base l0, and has (3o-operating therewith a spring op- @rated latch 26 adapted. t@ automatically re 5, 1925. Serial No. 67,187.

tain the pedal or lever 2Q in lowered position. The short end of the lever 22 co-operates, in turn, with the short end oit asimilar lever 28 pivotally mounted at 30, as shown in Figi? ure 3, and with its longer cnd extending;` into a housing mounted on the base l0.

The tree lend of the lover 28 has attached thereto one end cfa chain or 'able 34 which wrapped around a small pulley 3G, the pulley 3G being alixed to or integral with a larger pulley 38 adapted to rotate therewith.

Upon this larger pulley 38 is mounted a chain or cable 40, one end of which is wrapped around a corresponding smaller pulley 42, which, in turn, is integral with or atlixed to a larger pulley 44.

Alixed to the wheel 44 and running` over a pulleye is a chain or cable 48, having its tree end attached to the lower end of the telescopic element ld i A pulley similar tothe pulley 4G is mounted at the top oi 'the element 1G, and in the interior thereof and over this pulley passes a cable or cord 52, one end ot' which aliixed to the base l0 at 54, and the other end of which isaitlixed to the bottom of 'the telescopic meinberlS.

Upon depression of the pedal or lever 9.2 the short end of this lever raises the short end of the lever 28, depressing the other end of this lever and causing` the small pulley 36 to rotate under the tension of the cable or chain 34. This, in turn, rotates the large wheel or pulley 38, winding the cable 40 thereupon, and rotating the pulleys 42 and 44. This rot-ation retracts the cable 48 over the pulley 40, elevating the member 16.`

The elevation of the member 16 carries with it the pulley 50, which, in turn, causes the end oi the cable 52 aliixed to the member 18, to rise, thereby causing a corresponding elevationv oi the member 18 at a rate and through a distance equal to twice the corresponding rate and distance of the meinber 1G. Y

It will be seen that herein is provided a collapsible telescopic coat sacking stand which can be conveniently raised to a height of approximately 6 it. From an original stand of approximately 2 it., thereby allowing of a very convenient sacking oi' a coat, suit, or other object positioned upon a hanger or the like on the hook 20. As soon as the coat is sacked, which sack can be procured from a rack in the ceiling or over the head ofthe operator and slip down over lim lill

the dress or coat, anopennwbeingprovided in the bottom of the sack or'ths purpose, the latch 26 is released, lthereby allowing the elements 16 and 18 to drop byg 'avity `into the member 14, leaving theA completely sacked or covered coat or other object in the operators hands ready for delivery or storage. i

I am awarethat many changes may be made and numerous" details of conetri'iction varied througholit a Wide range Without departing froznthe principlesof this; invention, and l therefore do not purpose limita ing the patent granted llereon otherwise than as necessitated by the prior art.

I claimas my invention:
