Application filed Deoember12, 192% Serial No. 413,439."

This invention relates to packing devices for shipplng clothing, and more partlcularly to a coat hanger adapted for use 1n such devlces.

In the shipping of suits for men, many manufacturers prefer to mount the coats upon hangers so that the collars are turned up, it being considered that this method of packing preserves the shape of the collar so that the consignee will receive the suit in substantially the same condition as when it left the manufacturer.

In certain collapsible packing cases, fiat paper coat hangers are employed which prevent the coat collars from being turned up, and it is an object of this invention to provide a coat hanger which may be employed in such collapsible boxes and which will permit the turning up of the coat collar.

A further object is the provision of a coat hanger having means by which it may be spaced from adjacent coat hangers in the same packing case.

These and other objects are attained by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, constituting a material part of this disclosure and in which:

Figure 1 represents a perspective View of a collapsible packing case employing the coat hanger.

Figure 2 represents afront elevational view of the packing case shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 represents a perspective view of the coat hanger.

Figure 4 represents a sectional view of a packing case having a plurality of coat hangers carried therein.

Referring to the drawings, the collapsible packing case 15 is provided with a plurality of closure flaps 16, and has attached to the inner surfaces of its side walls the reinforcing plates 17, which are provided with rightangular flanges 18 and 19 adapted to serve as racks for a coat hanger 20.

vV hen the packingcase is collapsed the flanges 18 and 19 are folded so that they lie flat against the sides of the case.

The coat hanger is formed by bending a piece of wire to form a triangle having a horizontal trouser supporting bar 20 and inclined coat supporting elements 21. The free ends of the wire are twisted at 22'to provide a free ends of the wire are then turned upwardly at 29. I Q

The

portions

26, 27 and 28 are adapted to engage, respectively, the upper and lower surfaces of a rack 18 or 19, and support the coat hanger thereon. The upturned ends 29 of the hanger, together with portion 28, serve to space the hanger from an adjacent hanger so that the clothing will not be crowded and be crumpled. (See Figure 4:.) i

A. coat hanger as described above is espe- V cially adapted for use in a collapsible shipping case, and it is seen that the standard 22 enables the coat collar to be turned up, in the manner shown in Figure 2, as is the custom of certain manufacturers.

The foregoing disclosure is to be regarded as descriptive and illustrative only, and not as restrictive or limitative of the invention, of which obviously an embodiment may be constructed including many modifications without departing from the general scope herein indicated and denoted in the appended claims.- Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: I

1. A clothes hanger, comprising alength of wire, bent to provide a triangular body to support clothing, the free ends of the wire being twisted to provide a standard and then looped to provide a rack engaging portion, and then bent laterally transverse to the plane 9.

of the rack engaging portion to provide means for spacing the hanger laterally from adjacent objects.

2. A wire coat hanger, comprising a triangular body for supporting clothing, a

standard, Wires extending outwardly and downwardly from the standard, the wires being bent to form a pair of loops in a common vertical plane, and a loop in a horizontal plane, the free ends of the wires-being turned upwardly.

3. A Wire clothes hanger, comprising a body for supporting clothing, a standard, wires extending outwardly and I downwardly from the-standard, the Wires being bent to forni a pairoifloops in a common vertical plane and a loop in a horizontal plane.

4. A wire clothes hanger, comprising a body for supporting clothing, a standard and:

wires extending outwardly from the standard, the wiresbeing bent to form a loop in a' vertica'l plane and aloop in'a horizontal plane.
