Patented Aug. 4, 1931 UNITED STATES MARTHA L. HARDING, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA GARMENT HANGER.
Application filed August 81, 1828. Serial No. 303,190.
My invention relates to garment hangers and more particularly to a hanger for supporting both coats and trousers.
Objects of the invention are to provide a hanger which will not be accidently dislodged from its support and having a trouser support which may be easily removed.
These objects are attained by providing spring means for closing the opening of the supporting hook and by mounting a trouser support or bridge piece in slots formed in extensions on the ends of the coat supporting part of the hanger, as illustrated by the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a front view of a hanger constructed according to my invention,
Figure 2 a cross-section on line 2-2 on Fi ure 1 and,
l igure 3 an end view of the hanger, taken on line 33 on Figure 1.
The hanger consists of a coat support 5, upon which coats, dresses and the like may be hung, a trouser support or bridge piece 5 6, which is supported between extensions 7 depending from the ends of the coat support and preferably formed integraltherewith, a hook 8 secured at the center of the coat support, and a spring element 9 for closing the opening of the hook.
The coat support is shown formed from a strip which is curved transversely for the greater part of its length and bent longi tudinally to form shoulder parts 10 which curve downwardly between their outer ends 11 and the center of the coat support so that the vertical distance between the tops of ends 11 and the center of the hook is less than-that in an ordinary hanger. 'Thus, a garment suspended on one of my improved hangers will occupy less vertical space than when suspended on an ordinar hanger.
Bridge piece 6 is shown circu ar in crosssection and provided at its ends with caps 12 and connectors 13 which may be formed integral with the caps or extended through them and be anchored in the body of the bridge piece. Extensions 7 are preferably provided with slots 14, enlarged at one end, through which connectors 13 extend. The
connectors have necks 15, which normally rest in the small parts of the slots, and heads 16 which may be shaped like segments of spheres and normally abut the outer faces of the extensions for holding them against outward movement while the ends of the bridge piece hold them against inward movement. In assembling the hanger, the head of one connector is passed through the large part of the slot 1n one extension and neck 15 allowed to drop into the small part of the slot. The other extension is then sprung outwardly and the other connector similarly passed through the slot therein.
Spring element9 may consist of a plunger 17 slidably mounted in the coat support and encircled by a spring 18 one end of which abuts the coat support and the other the head 19 of the plunger. The upward movement of the plunger may be limited by a ring 20 secured to or formed on its lower end and forming a. finger grip by means of which the plunger may be retracted when it is desired to engage hook 8 with arod or other support or to remove it therefrom. Spring 18 will ordinarily hold plunger 17 vertically and direct it against the end of hook 8 but it may be guided by slidably mounting it in a thimble 21 secured in the coat support, as shown in Figure 2.
The invention as hereinbefore disclosed and as hereinafter claimed, may be changed in various ,ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as ;-herein set forth.
I claim:
In a garment hanger, a hook for suspending the han er from a support, a plunger consisting of a wire having a head at one end slidable in the hanger, a spring to bring said head into contact with the point of the hook and for holding the plunger across the opening of the hook and a loop in the .6
wire at the end opposite the head for digital engagement.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
