GEORGE HENRY WHEARY, OF BAOINE, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOR T WHEARY TRUNK COMPANY, OF RACINE, WISCONSIN, A CORPORATION OF WISCONSIN.
BAGGAGE-CARRIER TROLLEY CONSTRUCTION.
Application filed December 26, 1925. Serial No. 77,791.
It is an object of this invention to improve and generally simplify trolley constructions for baggage carriers.
In the wardrobe suit case type of baggage carrier, it is customary to provide a trolley of the single rod type from which the clothes hangers are supported and this invention contemplates the provision of an improved type of trolley and hanger having cooperating means whereby the hanger is positively held on the trolley when in position within the carrier wardrobe section but may be readily removed therefrom by a lateral or transverse movement when engaged on the outer swinging'portion of the trolley.
A further object of this invention resides in the provision of an improved trolley structure for baggage carriers which consists of two pivotally connected parts or sections, the inner part being substantially round and the outer part being flat but of a width equal to the diameter of the inner one to which it is pivotally connected, whereby hangers having an opening therein to slidably receive the inner part of the trolley and a slot extending from the opening of a width to permit the passage therethrough of the outer part are held on the trolley against detachment while 011 the inner part but may be readily removed from the trolley by a lateral or transverse movement when on the outer part to withdraw the flattened part of the trolley from the hanger opening through the slot therein.
A still further object of this invention resides in the provision of an improved device of the character described in which any one hanger may be readily removed from the trolley without disturbing the others and when the hangers have been engaged on the inner trolley section and the outer section swung to its angular position the hangers are securely held on the trolley against undue movement and against accidental detachment.
lVith the above and other objects in view which will. appear as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the appended claims, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the .hcreindisclosed invention may be mad as c ams within the scope of the claims,
In the accompanying drawing, I have illustrated one complete example of the physical embodiment of my invention constructed according to the bestmodel have so far devised for the practical application of the principles thereof, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a baggage carrier equipped with my invention, a portion of the wardrobe section thereof being broken away; 7
Figure 2 is an enlarged, fragmentary View looking down on the trolley with the wardrobe section in section and parts of the trolley broken away and in section, and
Figure 3 is a view taken transversely through the hinge connection between the trolley sections or parts on the plane of the line of Figure 2.
Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawing in which like numerals designate like parts throughout the several views, the numeral 5 designates a baggage carrier, the type illustrated being what is termed in the art as a wardrobe suitcase having a wardrobe section 6 in which the clothes are adapted to be hung from hangers 7 and a compartment section. The hangers 7 are preferably of laminated Wood construction and each has a central enlargement or projection 8 on its top provided with a central opening 9 for engagement with a trolley or other support 10.
The trolley 10 has an inner part or section 11 preferably of round material, the inner end of which is fixed to the rear wall of the wardrobe section by a plate 12 and rivets or other securing means 13, and the outer end of which is supported from the section top wall by a bracket arm 14. The bracket arm is secured to the outer end portion of the part 11, as at 15, and is shaped as illustrated in Figure 3 with its end 16 riveted or otherwise secured to the section top wall, as at 17. An outer movable trolley extension part 18 of flat strip material of a width equal in diameter to the inner trolley part has its inner end pivoted, as at 19, in a slot 20 in the outer end of the trolley inner part, whereby the extension part may be swung to and from a position in longitudinal alignment with the inner part.
One corner 21 of the extension part inner end i i'ght angular and the other corner 22 the i: curved on. an are employing the axis of the pivot 19 as a center, the shoulder 21 providing a limit for the swinging movement of the outer section to the right with reference to Figure 2 so that it may be readily aligned with the inner sect-ion and the rounded corner permitting swinging of the extension to the left with refernce to Figure 2 to its dotted line position to permit the closing of the baggage carrier. The movement of the extension section to its dotted line position is limited by the side thereof adjacent its curved inner corner abutting the inner end 23 of the slot 2O.
The outer end of the trolley extension section or part is enlarged, as at 24, to limit the outward sliding of the hangers 7 thereon to thus prevent their accidental detachment and the openings 9 of the hangers each have a transverse or lateral slot 25 leading therefrom to one side of the hanger to permit the passage of the hangers over the trolley without interferenceon the part of the bracket 14:. The slot 25 also facilitates the ready withdrawal of the hanger from the trolley by moving it laterally or transversely after it has been engaged on the outer trolley section to pass the trolley part 18 through the slot. The hanger may then be used apart from the trolley in any manner.
The slot 25 is preferably disposed slightly below the axis of the opening 9 so that the hangers have to be moved slightly out of the horizontal or raised, if the slot is sufiiciently wide, to be removed from the outer trolley section, to overcome any tendency of the hangers to become detached from the trolley. The hangers may be readily removed from the trolley section at any point on the outer extension section thereof and the back of any hanger may be readily removed without disturbing the others.
lVhen it is desired to close the baggage carrier, the hangers are slid onto the inner trolley part or section and the movable part or extension is swung to its dotted line position illustrated in Figure 2, and the hangers thus securely held on the trolley against detachment, the clothes then being secured in place by a removable bar or strap 26. The top surfaces 27 of the hanger projections have a close fit with the wardrobe section top wall so that the hangers are held against movement on the trolley.
Vhile I have illustrated a trolley construction wherein but a single supporting trolley is illustrated, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the principle thereof may be readily applied to the type of trolley employing a plurality of rails. It will also be apparent that I provide a very simple and improved type of trolley support for baggage carriers which is of very durable construction and which permits the ready removal of any hanger without disturbing the others and at the same time affords protection against their accidental detachment or their swaying on the trolley when closed in the wardrobe section.
What I claim as my invention is:
1. In a baggage carrier, a trolley having an inner fix ed part and an outer movable extension, means connecting the inner part and extension of the trolley whereby the extension may be swung to and from a position in lon gitudinal alignment with the trolley inner part, said extension being of reduced thickness but of a width substantially equal to that of the trolley inner part, and a hanger haw ing an opening therein to slidably iit the trolley inner part and a slot extending transversely from the opening to one side edge of the hanger whereby the hanger may be readily removed from the trolley after the hanger has been moved outwardly onto the extension by a transverse movement thereof to pass the trolley extension through the slot.
2. In a baggage carrier, a trolley including an inner substantially round part and an outer extension section flattened on its top and bottom but of a width substantially equal to the diameter of the inner part, a stop on the outer end of the extension section, and a hanger adapted to be slidably mounted on the trolley and having an opening of a diameter to slidably fit the trolley inner part and having a slot extending from the opening to one side edge whereby the hanger may be freely moved from the inner trolley part onto the extension and readily removed from the trolley by being moved transversely while on the extension to pass the extension through the slot therein.
3. In a baggage carrier, a trolley having an inner and an outer part pivotally connected whereby the outer part may be swung into and out of longitudinal alignment with the inner part, the inner part being substantially circular in cross section and the outer part being of reduced thickness, and a hanger having a bore for slidably receiving the trolley parts and a slot of a thickness approximately the width of the thickness of the trolley outer part communieating with the bore and continuing to one side thereof whereby the ready engage ment or removal of the hanger from the trolley may be allected when the same is moved from the inner part onto the outer part.
l. A device of the character described, comprising a trolley having an inner and an outer part, the outer part being flattened but having a width substantially equal to the diameter of the inner part, one end of the inner part being bifurcated to pivotally receive the adjacent end of the outer part whereby the outer part may be swung into and out of longitudinal alignment with the inner part, means supporting the trolley inner part, and a hanger having a bore adapted to slidably receive the trolley inner part and a slot communicating with the bore and continuing to one side of the hanger, said slot being in approximate lateral alignment with the supporting means whereby the hanger may be readily slid along the trolley onto the outer part when the same is swung into alignment with the inner part and the hanger removed by withdrawing the outer part through the slot.
5. In a baggage carrier having a wardrobe section, a trolley mounted in the wardrobe sec tion and having a part movable to a position forming a longitudinal extension of the trol ley, said part being of less thickness than the trolley and a hanger having an opening and a slot extending from the opening to one side of the hanger, the opening being of a size sub- 15 stantially that of the trolley to slidably mount the hanger thereon and the slot being of a width substantially equal to the thickness of said trolley carried part whereby detachment of the hanger is prevented while on the trolley 20 but permitted when moved onto the trolley carried part by transverse movement of the hanger to pass the trolley carried part through the slot.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
GEORGE HENRY \VHEARY.
