I. N. MORINVILLE CLOTHES HANGER Filed March 23, 1954 Patented Sept. 10, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CLOTHES HANGER Ida Navert Morinville, Outremont, Quebec, Canada 2 Claims.

The present invention relates to improvements in clothes-hangers, and its main object is to pro- Vide a device of this character, whereby, a plurality of articles of clothing, such as dresses,

5 coats and the like, and trousers and skirts may be hung on a single hanger. A further object of this invention is to provide a hanger of simple construction, cheap to manufacture, and yet strong and resistant.

The invention preferably consists in combining a plurality of superposed hanger members in one clothes-hanger, and also provide means of supporting trousers and skirts. The superposed hanger members are held in fixed relation by a wire, terminating at one end in a hook, passing through suitable holes in said members, and formed, below, said members, in a horizontal hanger for supporting trousers. Means upon said horizontal hanger are provided to secure skirts or the like, and tubular spacing members, through which passes the wire, are located in between each of said superposed members for suitably distancing them.

In the drawing:-`

Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of the device according to the invention;

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of Fig. 1.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawing, l, 2 and 3 are respectively superposed hanger members the top member of which is of greater length than the second or the one adjacent thereto, and the third shorter than the second member. This is of importance because, otherwise, it would not be convenient to hang a dress or any clothes upon all of said members. Each of said members is supported by means of a wire which is bent at its uppermost end to form a hook 4, said Wire passing through a hole 5 provided in each of said members l, 2 and 3, after which it is bent outwardly and parallelly to the underside of the lower member 3, and again bent to form a horizontal trouser hanger 6, said Wire being then inwardly bent to (o1. 22e-ss) engage the adjacent portion of the underside of the lower member and then passing through another series of holes 5 through said hanger members l, 2 and 3, providing a pair of parallel legs extending through the openings, the free end of the wire being secured adjacent the hook 4.

The members I, 2 and 3, are suitably distanced from one another by means of the tubular spacing members l, through which the Wire passes.

Upon the horizontal hanger 6, are mounted twc or more fabric tags 8, each provided with attaching means, such as safety pins 9, by means of which skirts or like wearing apparel may be secured.

It should be readily understood that only a preferred form of the invention is herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and that modifications may be made thereto, without departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims for novelty.

What I claim as my invention is:-

l. A clothes hanger comprising a series of hanger members decreasing in length downwardly and each having spaced openings intermediate the ends, a wire member having parallel legs extending through the openings, spacer members on each leg between the hanger members for holding the latter in spaced parallel relation, a hook at the upper end of the wire member above the top hanger member and the lower end oi the wire member bent to provide a hanger below the lower hanger member.

2. A clothes hanger comprising a series of hanger members decreasing in length downwardly, a wire frame carrying the hanger members, means on the wire frame between the hanger members for spacing them in parallel relation, a hook at the upper end of the Wire frame above the upper hanger member, lateral extensions on the wire frame engaged with the lower hanger member and a hanger at the lower end of the wire frame carried by the extensions below the lower hanger member.
