Guy Ros/"son mm Hnnaw CLAUSE/I 5' ATTORNEYS.
Patented Aug. 23, 1932 UNITED. STATES PATENT foFFlcE- Y GUY nomnson, or DINUBA, AND HAROLD cLAusnnjor ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA 1 HANGER The invention relates to suspendible hangers arranged for use in effecting a suspended support of various articles from a fixed supporting means and in adjusted relation thereto.
An object of the'invention is to provide hangers of the character described which are particularly adapted for use in supporting relatively fiat objects such as floral pieces and the like.
Another object of the invention is to provide like and unitary hanger members which are arranged for use either singly or in combination, as may be required.
A further object of the invention is to provide hangers of the character described having improved means for attaching them to a fixed support or to each other.
A still further object of the invention is to provide unitary hanger members of the character described which are adapted to be formed of a single piece of material in a particularly simple manner whereby their cost of production is a minimum.
The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage, some of which, with the foregoing, will be set forth in the following description of the preferred form of the invention which is illustrated in the drawing accompanying and forming part of the specification. It is to be understood, however, that variations in the showing made by the said drawing and description may be adopted within the scope of the invention as set forth in the claim.
Referring to said drawing,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pair of the hanger units, one of the units being supported from a fixed object and the other unit being supported from the first.
Figure 2 is an enlarged perspective view of one of the hanger units.
Figure 3 is a face view of a blank from which a hanger unit is arranged tobe shaped.
Essentially, the hanger units of the invention comprise unitary members 5. each pro-. viding an attaching hook 6 at its upper end, atleast one supporting hook 7 intermediate its structure, andmeans whereby the-attache ing hook 6 of one member may be us edtosupport suchm'ember' from another one of the members. The units 5, it is noted, are. particularly designed for use inremovable installations, and the hooks 6 are accordingly so formed as to removably engageover a suitable fixed and generally horizontally disposed support such as arwire, a picture mold, or a railingas disclosedin. Figure 1, theupper unit'is supportably engaged with a wire 8. It will usually be preferable that the hook 6 be formed to extend in part'for- 1 wardly of the general plane, of the unit whereby the axis of support provided there, f
by may not lie so far rearwardlyof said plane freely suspended. i
The hanger unit, it will. now benoted, is arranged to be formed of a blank 9 compris ng a lengthof ribbon of metal or otherrelatively as to cause an undue tilting of the unit when stiff material. The upper end of the blank is formed to provide apair of longitudinally extending and spaced tines 11, such tines being preferably provided by notchingithe end of the blank from its. free extremity whereby edge portions thereof at such end form the outer edges of the tines and the latter are spaced to amaximumamount. Thehook6, it will now be noted, is cylindrically curved about an axis parallel to the general plane of the blank and perpendicular to its longi tudinal axis, it being noted that this relation j of the hook 6:to the'unit provides for aline support thereof 'on the wire 8 whereby a swinging of a hangerunit in the planeof the wire and said unit-is resisted, and the unit. s5
therefore'tends to maintain a. fixed positi in said plane... 1
The article supporting hook 7 is also ar;
ranged to comprise-an integral portion of the structure, and the blank, is accordingly mined by the unitand its axis of support.
The tines 11, it will now be noted, are primarily provided for efiecting a support of 7 position of a suspended unit'may be adjusted V a string thereof, and any number of strings" of units may be used for supporting decoraa one hanger unit from another, and the lower end of each unit designed for supporting another is accordingly formed with one or more sets of notches 13 whereby the unit'is so reduced in width thereat that the different tines of the unit to be supported may be disposed in the notches of a set of the first unit for supporting the second unit thereon. 1 As shown, the notchesv 13 are of right triangular outline *with the lower end supporting edges thereof perpendicular 'to the longitudinal axis of the unit. In the present instance, two
sets of the notches 13 are shown whereby the with'respe'ct to a unit from which'it is hung;
Preferably, all of the units 5are formed alike, it being obviou.s,'however, that in units not designed for supporting others,the tines 11 and notches'13 might be omitted.
.The units now described are particularly designed for use in effecting the support of decorative members in a vertlcal'plane', either against a wall, or spaced from all walls. Any requiredln'umber of the units maybe used in tions in the form of a screen if such is desired. Bymounting the upper units on a horizontal wire, or a similar support, lateral adjustment thereof is provided for, which fact, coupled with thevertical adjustment provided" for between connectedunits, permits any de-' sired distribution of the support hooks? in the area to be decorated.
'From the foregoing description of a unit 5 embodying the present invention, it will be obvious that the different parts of a unit are integrally associated, andthat the completed a unit is arranged to be'formed of the blank 9' in a particularly simple manner. In fact, the
1 form of the blank is such that it may be readily cut and shaped to form a hanger unit 011- tirely by machine. means, and thus the units may be quicklyland economically produced," it being also noted thatj'a minimum waste of material results in forming the blank. a "If desired, an extreme lower 'end portion 16 of the blank below the lowernotchesg13' may be bent angularly rearwardly-as shown to provide a spacing means for the lower-end of the unit. In this manner, when one or more units are hung against a wall (not shown), they will be held spaced therefrom and more nearly vertical.
We claim:
A hanger unit formed of a strip of fiat material having itsupper end curved out of the plane of the strip to provide a hook thereon, said hook including parallel spaced tines at the extremity thereof, and said strip being notched at opposed edge points thereof to provide a constriction of no greater width than is the space between said tines whereby the tines of a second hanger unit having a hook formed like the hook of said first unit may engage insaid notches for supporting the second unit on the first.
1 In testimony whereof, we have hereunto set our hands. 7 V .17 GUY ROBINSON.
