Description
May 31 B. F. GRAME HAT HANGER Filed March 5, 1951 which will generally conform to the interior Patented May 31, 1932 PATENT OFFICE BENJAMIN F. GRAME, OF NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS HAT HANGER Application filed March 5, 1931.
This invention relates to improvements in garment hangers and pertains particularly to an improved hat hanger or support.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a hat hanger which will engage the interior of the hat and securely maintain the same in supported position.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device having a pair of holding arms of the hat mounted thereon and which are normally resiliently urged apart so as to firmly engage the hat interior to hold the same in hung-up position.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a hanger of the above described char acter which may be readily adjusted to fit the interior of hats of different sizes.
Still another object of the invention is to 33 provide a hat hanger which may be readily placed in or removed from position and which is of simple but strong and durable construction and will be inexpensive to manufacture.
5 The invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part of the present invention with the understanding,
however, that the invention is not confined to any strict conformity with the showing of the drawings but may be changed or modified so long as such changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the hat hanger embodying the present invention showing, in dotted lines a portion of a hat thereon;
Figure 2 is a view in front elevation of the hanger;
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 44 of Figure 1.
Referring'more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the Serial No. 520,387.
several views, the numeral 1 indicates a bracket by means of which the hat hanger is attached to the wall, which has an elongated flat portion 2, which is vertically arranged when in working position, and an angularly extending threaded portion 3 which screws into the wall or the supporting body. Removably attached to the vertical portion 2 of the bracket is the element 4 which consists of an inner sleeve member 5 which receives the vertical arm 2 and an outer broad sleeve member 6 which is connected to the inner sleeve 5 by the web 7.
The outer sleeve 6 has extended there through the vertical arm 8, the lower portion of which is of substantially rigid metal, while the upper portion is reduced to provide the thin flexible section 9, the end of which terminates in the laterally extending oppositely directed flexible metal wings 10, which normally form an arc transversely of the portion 9 to which they are attached.
The outer sleeve 6 of the body 4 has projecting therethrough and beyond the forward face thereof, the threaded bolt 11 which has two opposite fiat faces 12, as shown. This bolt passes through the slot 13 which is formed longitudinally in the vertical shiftable substantially rigid arm member 1%. The lower end of the shiftable arm 14 is permanently curved forwardly as indicated at 15, and carries a pair of oppositely directed laterally extending wings 16 which, like the wing members 10, are of relatively thin resilient material and form an arc, the concave side of which is in opposition to the concave side of the arc formed by the wings 10.
The thickness of the bolt 11 from one flat face to the other is substantially equal to the width of the slot 13 in the vertically shiftable arm 14, so that when the thumb nut 17 which is threaded on the bolt is loosened, the arm l l'may be shifted vertically on the bolt and not oscillate from its parallel relation with the fixed arm 8.
In use, theresilient upper end portion 9 of the fixed arm 8, when no hat is on the hanger, straightens out slightly so that the wings or hat engaging members will be lifted and when a hat is placed on the device it is first put over the upper wings 10 and drawn down so as to flex the arms 8 at the portion 9 until it may be slipped over the lower wings 16 which are carried by the rigid curved lower end of the arm 15.
By releasing the hat the resilient portion of the upper arm will exert sufficient pressure against the hat band to draw it tight against the wings 16 and thus firmly secure the hat in position.
In order to increase or decrease the degree of pressure exerted upon the interior of the hat by the device, the shiftable arm 14 may be raised or lowered as desired, by loosening the thumb nut 17, as will be readily obvious.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A hat support comprising a bracket, a body detachably mounted on said bracket and having a vertical sleeve, a threaded bolt member extending forwardly through sa d sleeve, an arm arranged vertically in said sleeve and having said bolt member passing therethrough, the upper end of said arm being of thin resilient material and adapted to bend forwardly, a second arm disposed vertically adjacent the first arm and having a longitudinal slot therein through which said bolt passes, the lower end of the second arm being bent to extent forwardly therefrom, and a nut threaded on said bolt and holding said second arm in adjusted position, the free ends of the bent portions of the arms being designed to extend into a hat for engaging the band thereof at opposite points.
2. A hat support comprising a bracket, a body detachably mounted on said bracket and having a vertical sleeve, a threaded bolt member extending forwardly through said sleeve, an arm arranged vertically in said sleeve and having said bolt member passing therethrough, the upper end of said arm being of thin resilient material and adapted to bend forwardly, a second arm disposed vertically adjacent thefirst arm, and having a longitudinal slot therein through which said bolt passes, the lower end of the second arm being bent to extend forwardly therefrom, a nut threaded on said bolt and holding said second arm in adjusted position, and oppositely directed laterally extending resilient members carried by a free end of the bent portion of each arm for engaging the interior of a hat.
3, A hat hanger comprising a bracket having a vertical portion, a member comprising a pair of sleeves, one thereof being adapted to slidably receive the vertical portion of the bracket, a vertically disposed arm of substantially rigid material having one end extended into the other of said sleeves, a bolt extending forwardly through the said other sleeve and through said arm, said arm having its upper end of reduced thickness and resilient, a second arm disposed vertically before the first arm and having a longitudinal slot therein, said bolt having vertically opposed fiat faces and extending through said slot, said opposed faces preventing oscillation of the second arm on the bolt, said second arm having its lower end bent to extend forwardly, a thumb nut on said bolt for securing said second arm in adjusted position, and a pair of laterally extending oppositely disposed resilient wings carried at the free curved end of each arm, said wings being designed to position against the band of a hat.
4-. A hat hanger, comprising a sleeve member, an arm extending through the sleeve, 21 bolt'extending through the sleeve and through said arm, a slotted arm paralleling the first arm and having the bolt extended through the slot thereof, means for supporting said sleeve in operative position, a nut on said bolt engaging said slotted arm and holding the same in adjusted position on the bolt, and each of said arms carrying a member which projects forwardly therefrom to engage in spaced relation in a hat, one of said members having resilient connection with its arm whereby it may be moved under tension toward the other member.
5. A hat hanger, comprising a pair of rigid arms arranged in parallel relation, means for mounting said arms in operative position, one of said arms being of reduced weight adjacent one end to provide a flexible portion, a pair of hat engaging members each being carried by one of said arms, one of said mem here being attached to the flexible portion of its armand adapted to be swung to a position forwardly thereof by the flexing of said portion, and the other of said members being permanently attached to its arm to extend forwardly therefrom.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aifix my signature.
BENJAMIN F. GRAME.
