Description
June 9, l1931. E.- :MULLER .FOLDABLE GARIENT HANGER Filed Aug. 28, 1930 INVENTOR BY ATTORNEY ffn www@ Patented .lune 9, 193i ELISABETH MLLER, OF BROOKLYN, NEVI YORK FOLDABLE` examinar' i-m'iuenn Application filed August 28, 1930. Serial No. 478,374.
This invention relates to improvements in garments or clothes hangers, and it is the principal object of my invention to provide a hanger which can be folded into a comparatively small compass which in fact is so small as to allow a carrying of the hanger conveniently in a ladys handbag or the like and which is therefore always ready for immediate use in hotels, o-fiices, at outings, in dressing rooms, in bath houses, or the like, so that the garments can always be kept in their neat and smooth condition and do not become wrinkly.
Ano-ther object of my invention is the provision of a foidabie clothes hanger of simple and inexpensive construction, and inexpensive materiales metal, celluloid or the like, l
yet durable and efiicient in operation.
i further object of my invention is the provision of a clothes hanger, the clothes supporting arms of which can be folded within each other, while in their extended position they are protected against collapsing by suitable means.
A still further object of my invention is the provision of a foldable clothes hanger the suspension member of which is iexible so as not to interfere with the folding or form an injurious obstruct-ion in the hand bag or other se receptacle in which the hanger is carried.
These and other objects of my invention will become more fully known as the description thereof proceeds, and will then be specifically defined in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings forming' a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a garment hanger constructed according to my invention with one of its members partly folded.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the hanger on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Fig. 3 isa cross-section on line 3 3 of Figure 1.
Fig. 4 shows the hanger partly folded.
Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the folded hanger.
As illustrated on the drawings, the hanger consists of a body member substantially U-formed in cross-section, and formed by two parallel members 11 and 12, spaced from one another and constituting the central member of the hanger, wider than members 11 and 12.
In the space between the ends of members 11 and 12 pair-wise arranged parallel arms 13, 14, 15, 16 are pivotally secured at their inner ends by means of the pins 17 18 and the arms of each pair are also arranged in spacedr relation to each other.
Blocks' 19, 2O between the ends of members 11, 12, through which the pins 17, 18, pass G0 form guides for the arms 13, 14, 15, 16 in their extended position. Between the spaced outer ends of the arms 13, 14 and 15, 16, end members 21,22, are pivotally held by means of the pins 23, 24, while suitable shoulders 23, 24 G5 formed between the ends of arms 13, 14, and 15, 16, prevent a collapsing of the end members in their extended or operative position.
A flexible hanger or supporting member 25 is attached to member 12 by guiding its end 70 through an opening 26 therein equipped on the outside as well as on the inside of said member with reinforcing plates 27, 28, respectively, and knotting the end as at 29.
In operation the flexible supporting member which may be wound about the hanger in its folded condition is unwound therefrom and the arms with the end members are swung into their extended position about the pivot pins 17, 18, whereafter the end mem- S0 bers are swung out of engagement between arms 13, 14, and 15, 16, while the shoulders will be engaged by the inner ends of the arms and the end members respectively preventing the same from bending down or collapsing under the weight of the garments.
It will be understood thatV I have described and shown the preferred form of my device only as one example of the many possible ways to practically construct the same, and that I may make such changes in the construction of the minor details thereof as come within the scope of the appended claim with.- out departure from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A garment hanger comprising a channeled body member, arms pivoted with their inner ends between the outer ends of the channeled Lai member, and end members pivoted to the outer ends of said arms, and adapted to be folded into the same and with said arms into the chanel of said body member, a flexible supporting member, and shoulders formed on said body member and said arms for engagement by the lower inner edges of said arms and end members, for preventing a Collapsing of the structure in its garment supporting position.
Signed at New York, in the county of New York, and State of New York, this 27th day of August, A. D. 1930.
ELISABETH MLLER.
