Description
.an 12, 1937. G. K. Enns-0N GARMENT HANGER Filed March 2, 1936 f-nfn fr Patented Jan. 12, 1937 UNITED STATES PxrlNT` oFFlcE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in garment hangers, One object is to provide a garment hanger of the folding type adapted to occupy a minimum space when not in use and to support a number of garments when in operative position. In drying wet garments it is desirable to hang or support the same in such position that the air may circulate freely about them to cause moisture evaporation while at the same time it is desirable to economize in the use of space for disposal of the garments during this operation. In small apartments where space is at a premium the present invention will undoubtedly supply a long felt want.
The invention consists essentially of a head board adapted to be secured to a wall or like support and carrying a frame hinged thereto, the frame in extended position having parallel rods horizontally disposed for the support of garments, or of pins carrying the garments, the garments carried being suitably Aspaced apart to permit ample air circulation therebetween to facilitate drying, the frame being adapted to be` folded or dropped into vertical position when not in use to occupy a very small space practically flat against or parallel to the wall. For ships ping, storing, or the like the head board may be folded down upon the frame and upon the garment-carrying pins, which are then disposed horizontally, the complete hanger then occupying but a very small space and being compact for easy handling.
More specifically the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described, pointed out in the claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this application for patent and in which- Fig. 1 is a view of the garment hanger in` front elevation, the dotted lines showing the frame dropped to inoperative, out of the Way position, assumed when not in use.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the hanger in operative position,
Fig. 3 is a View in side elevation, in operative position, illustrating its application.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the pin shown in Fig. 5.
Fig. 5 is a view of the pin in elevation.
Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The reference numeral I denotes a head board having perforations 2 to permit it to be secured by fastening means to a wall or support 3, The board I is provided along its lower edge with a longitudinally extending rib 4 to which one side 5 of the frame 5, 6 is secured by hinges l. The spaced sides 5, 6 of the frame are connected by the transverse spaced parallel rods 8 that slidably and pivotally carry the clothes pins 9 of a conventional spring-pressed type, these pins being adapted to support the garment, or garments, IIJ to be dried, said pins being disposed vertically upon the rods through gravity when not in use.
A chain or cord II having one end secured to the head board carries a hook I2 at its opposite end for engagement with the eye screws I3 secured in the frame side 6 remote from the head board to support the same in operative position. When the hanger is not in use but is secured to its support 3 the hook I2 is disengaged from the screw I3 to permit the frame to hang in the vertical, out of the way, position shown dotted in Fig. 1.
When the hanger is to be shipped, packed, stored or carried in stock it is removed from the support 3, the head board I folded down upon the frame with the pins 9 in horizontal position therebeneath, the pins being retained between the frame and head board in this position so that the hangers may be disposed one upon the other in very small space. When the hanger is to be folded for storage or the like, the frame side 5 is grasped by the hand and the opposite side of the frame rested upon the lower ends of the pins 9 upon a support, such as a table or the like. A slight lateral movement of the frame manually will now dispose the pins in a substantially horizontal position.
By now moving the head board down upon the pins they will be retained in this position, the pins having previously been moved to that end of the frame adjacent the head board,
What is claimed is:-
In garment hangers, an oblong headboard, a rib extending lengthwise of said headboard and co-extensive therewith, a two-sided frame, one frame-side extending lengthwise of said rib and being co-extensive therewith, hinges connecting said frame-side and rib, a flexible element releasably connecting said headboard and frame, parallel spaced rods connecting the sides of said frame, said rods being disposed at right angles to said headboard and rib, and garment-engaging pins pivotally and slidably arranged upon said rods and normally disposed vertically through gravity when the frame is in operative position, the pivotal movement of said pins being crosswise of said frame parallel to said headboard in its operative position; said pins, when at the end of said frame adjacent to said headboard, being adapted to be moved pivotally into horizontal position when one end of the frame is manually held and the opposite end rested upon said pins with their lower ends resting upon a support and a lateral movement imparted to said frame, said headboard being then adapted to be folded down upon said pins and frame whereby said pins are retained in horizontal inoperative position.
