GARMENT HANGER Filed Sept. 30. 1931 Inventor fry $655 6' ans,

Patented Nov. 1, 1932 rm-rs mm orrica I HANGER de ineation filed September as, 1933. serial No. seam.

This invention reletes to certain new and useful improvements in garment hangers and the primary object of the invention is to provide a han er especially adapted for suplilporting ladies thin and flimsy dresses and similar wearin apparel, the said hanger according to tie present invention bein equipped with means throughout the 111 length of the hanger-and adapted to be'enit gaged by the garment, so that the latter will not he accidentally detached or displaced relative to the hanger when the latmr is being manipulated as for example when placing the hanger on a rack, or when rotating the 16 hanger as is often done in displaying the article suspended from the hanger.

A further object oi the invention is to provide a garment hanger equipped with means whereby the garment will be held it against displacement relative to the hanger either longitudinally or laterally with respect thereto.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study W of the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherem:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the hanger, and

30 Flgure 2 is a plan view of a portion of, a garment retaining element with which the hanger is equipped.

Referring to the drawing it will be seen that the invention is applied to a conventional 35 type of garment hanger designated by the reference character 5, and including a hook rlsmg from an arcuate bar 6 such as are em-.

ployed for supporting the dress or particular garment from the hanger, the ends of which bar 6 is connected by a horizontal bar 7 such as is used for supportin a garment in a folded position from the anger as for example a pair of pants or the like.

he upper surface of the bar 6 for the full length of the bar, is covered by a strip 8, and the upper surface of the horizontal bar 7 for the full length of the barjis also covered by a similar strip 9. Each of the strips 8 and 9 are preferably of rubber and may be ad- 50 hesi'vely or otherwise secured to its bar.

Each of the strips 8, 9 on its upper surface is provided with a plurality of integral protuberances or teats 10, the tests or ranged in two longitudinal series with the teats of one series staggered-relative to the teats of the second series as suggested Figure l.

From the above, it will be apparent that when a garment such as a dress is placed upon the hanger, the flexible protuberances or teats 10 of the strip 8 will engage the arment thus retaining the same against displacement either longitudinally or laterally relative to the hanger even though the hanger be rotated either in horizontal or vertical planes. Likewise, a. garment such as a pair of pants or the like may be passed between the bars 6 and l and the protuberanoes or teats 10 on the strip 9 will engage the garment and likewise retain the same against displacement even l6 though the garment be manipulated in the manner above suggested.

From the foregoin it will be seen that a garment hanger em dying the feature oi the present invention will be especially adaptable for use in'stores and the like since the same will serve admirably for suspendin a garment in position to be readily examin by a prospective customer. As shown, the teeth, protuberances or teats are dis osed at an angle to the. perpendicular, with t e teeth on one side of the transverse median of each strip being inclined oppositely to the teeth of the other side of sai transverse median, and in providing such series of oppositely inw clined teeth, the use of each strip and its associated teeth, for preventing displacement of a garment longitudinally of the hanger is materially enhanced.

Even though I have herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the same is susceptible of further changes, modifications and improvements coming within the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

A garment han er including an arcuate bar, and a relative y straight bar con'nectin the ends of the arcuate bar, and each of sax bars including a sufiporting surface of resilient elastic materi having s geredl arran inclined teeth of 81111118.! materia projectm upwardly therefrom, the teeth on one side 0 the transverse median of each surface being inclined opmsitely to the teeth on the other side of am transverse median.

In testimony whereof I afiix m silgnature.
