Patented May 27 1930 UNITED'STATES PATENT OFFICE cmnrns u. nonmenn, or $1. tours, mssouar v CLOTHES HANGER Application fled January 21, 1928. Serial No. 248,480.

Another object of the invention embodies 1 a locking element adapted for use in conjunction with the supporting hook to'prevent displacement of the hook upon a hanger rod.

An additional object of the invention comprehends rod members adapted for detachable engagement with the hanger to' facilitate the insertion of pants, plaited sln'rts and I the like therebetween and which when lockingly engaged with the hanger will preserve creases within garments.

More specifically stated, said arms are provided with a common locking element 2 which when disengaged from said arms will permit removal of the pants from the hanger thereby obviating the usual necessity of removing a coat, vest, etc. from the hanger precedent to the removal of the pants therefrom.

With the above and other-objects in view,

' the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construction, to be. hereinafter more illustrated in the accompanying awing and pointed out in the appended claim. In the drawing: Figure l is. an elevation of the invention. Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional viewtakenon line 3-3 of Figure. 1.

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line -44 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a sectional view takenon line 5-5 of Figure 1.

Figure 6 is a sectionalview taken on line 6-6 of Figure 1 throu h the locking element for the supporting ook.

Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a hanger formed of a length of wire bent upon itsel at one end as indicated at 11 to provide an upstanding loop 12. The opfully described,

posed end of the hanger is bent upon itself to providespring convolutions13; the extremity of said convolutions terminate in arms 14' adapted for reception within the looped end 11 of the hanger. The intermediate portion of the hanger has-formed a spring loop 15 between the convolutions of which is extended a supporting book 16. The supporting hook is also doubled as best illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawing. A locking element for the' supporting hook is in the nature of arms 17 -pivotally connected, as indicated at 18 at the innermost ends thereof and which terminate to provide,.at their opposite ends, heads 19 adapted to be extended through the thicknesses of the supportin hook 16; the heads 19, after being force between said thicknesses will release the latter which will spring against the arms 17 proper immedi- 76 I ately behind said heads which will then be held against displacement. Suchconstruc- I tion allows the supporting hook tobe lockingly engaged with a hanger rod, not shown, and which will prove highly efiective in wardrobe trunks wherein the hangers are subjected to sliding movement. A guide 20 slidably mounted upon the convolutions o the loop 15, is provided with a central opening through which the thicknesses of the 39 book 16. extend. The hook 16 through the 1 sliding action of the guide 20 may be shifted to occupy a position in juxtaposition to the hanger per se. A brace 21, carried by the hanger 10, is provided with a loop 22 upon the uppermost end thereof projected within the loop 15 and adapted for pivotal connection with the lowermost end or ends of the supporting hook 16. A hook 23 mounted for lateral swm g movement upon the brace 99 21 is adapted su port head coverings, ties, etc. A stifiening race 24, having connection at one end with the upstanding loop 12,

is extended through a loop portion 25 in the lowermost end of the brace 21. A link 26, having connection with the convolutions 13,

is adapted for locking engagement with the remaining and adjacent end of the stiffening brace 24.

A locking element, embodying a length of wire 27, bent upon itself to provide an upstanding portion 28 ofiset from ears 29, is adapted to engage the intermediate bent portion 11 of the hanger 10. The extremities of the arms 29 are looped, as indicated at 30, around the thicknesses or plies of the hanger. The extremities of the arms 14 will thus be held against displacement when in Wardrobe trunks or other movable containers. The locking element, aforementioned, will release the arms 14 when shifted outwardly toward one end of the hanger andslicl upwardly an appreciable distance thereon.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction, and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having described the invention, what is claimed is A garment hanger comprising a-length of Wire ent upon itself at one end and forming multiple spring loops at an intermediate point, a guide slidably mounted upon the spring loops, and a supporting hook slidably connected with the guide to occupy an out of the way position.

In testimon whereof I afix no signature.
