Description
April 13, 1937. R. D. MooRE CLOTHES HANGER Filed Jan. 5, 1956.
A-TTORNEY Patented Apr. 13, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
This invention relates to garment hangers, particularly of the type used for supporting trousers and a coat and its general object is to provide a hanger that includes a body which consists of a plurality of layers of material such as pressed paper, or the like, shaped and pressed into hanger formation.
A further object of the invention is to provide a garment hanger that includes means for sup- 7 porting a tag having certain indicia thereon, and the body of the hanger may have advertising matter disposed to be covered by the tag so that when the latter is removed, the advertising matter will be displayed.
5 Another object of the invention is to provide a garment hanger including a hook which not only acts to suspend the hanger from a suitable supporting means, but holds the body folded or assembled in hanger formation, and the hook is 20 removable to allow the body to be unfolded, so
as to take up minimum space in storage and shipping.
A still further object is to provide a garment hanger of the character set forth, that includes 25 few parts, is inexpensive to manufacture, and eliminates the .possibility of apparel or garments suspended from the hanger, from becoming damaged by stain or iron rust which occurs with the use of the usual form of wire hanger.
,30 This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in 35 the appended claims.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which: 40 Figure 1 ,is a front elevation of the hanger which forms the subject matter of the present invention.
Figure 2 is a side view thereof.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken approxi 45 mately on line 3-3 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 4-4 of Figure 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.
60 Figure 5 is a view of one form of tag which I may beeused with the hanger.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary perspective view of a modified form.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the body of 65 the hanger is shown as including arms II and ii and a cross bar l2 made integrally from a plurality of laminations or strips of material adhesively secured together and suitably pressed into the desired shape. In the manufacture of my hanger, the cross bar l2 and the major portion 5 of the arms ill and il in the form shown will be constructed semi-circular in cross section, with the channels thereof lowermost, and the ends of the cross bar I! are flattened, as at l3 and M to allow the arms l0 and H to bebent toward each 10 other as illustrated. The cross sectional shape of the bar and the arms provide a rounded formation for receiving and supporting the garments, such as a coat, and a pair of trousers.
' It will be noted that the inner portions I5 and I6 of the arms l0 and II respectively are flat and bent to extend upwardly for disposal in face to face abutting contact with each other. A hook I1 is detachably secured to the end portions l5 and I6, as best shown in Figure 4, and for that purpose, the end or flat vertical portionsare provided with a pair of vertically aligned slots, one of which is-for the passage of an extension I! therethrough, which is formed on the shank intermediate its. .ends and the other receives the hooked lower end of the shank. When the extension it and hooked lower end is inserted in the slots, the hook I! is pulled upwardly for disposing the extension and hooked lower end in binding engagement with the portions l5 and I8 for securing the body in hanger formation, as clearly shown in Figure 1.
The extension l8 projects laterally from and is formed on the shank of the hook, by crimping the shank laterally upon itself, and the extension terminates at its outer end in a widened portion as shown, to receive a tag l9, the latter being provided with a horizontally disposed slot 2|! for the passage of the widened portion therethrough. After the tag is disposed on the extension, it is turned to hang vertically, with the slot 2!! disposed at right angles with respect to the widened portion, to prevent the casual removal of the tag) therefrom, and the slot has a recess rising there; from midway its ends to receive the extension therein.
If desired, the outer surface 2i of the upturned end portion l6 may have certain advertising material or indicia printed thereon. When the tag is used, the advertising material will be covered but will be revealedwhen the tag is removed.
In Figure 6, there is illustrated a slightly modifled form, in which the cross bar I! is provided with a slot 22 preferably arranged below the longitudinal center thereof as shown, but in any event the slot 22 extends substantially the entire length of the cross bar, and is for the purpose of receiving a pair of trousers to be inserted therein and suspended from the cross bar as will be apparent. In this form of the invention, the
cross bar and arm are constructed substantially the same as in the preferred form.
From the above description and disclosure in the drawing, it will be obvious that I have provided a garment hanger that includes a body formed entirely of laminated layers of pressed paper or the like, adhesively or otherwise secured together.
Ifdesired, the several layers may be first. compressed and then shaped, but regardless oi the manner in which the body of the hanger is made,
the hook will hold the same'into folded or hanger formation and is removableto allow the body to be unfolded. so that the hangerscan be conveniently packed in minimum space for storage and shipment.
Itis thought from the foregoing description thatithe advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily. apparent.
It is'to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within, the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1, A garment hanger comprising afoldable body formed integrally oi compressed paper conformed to provide a cross bar, and upwardly directed converging arms extending from the ends thereof. said bar and arms being of semi-circular formation for the major portion of their length, the outer ends of the bar being flattened to allow the arms to'be folded, flat confronting vertically arranged portions formed on the inner ends of the arms and having spaced slots therein, a suspending hook for the body and including a shank and means on the shank and received in the slots for detachably securing the vertical portions together for holding the body in hanger formation.
2. A garment hanger comprising a foldable body I formed integrally of laminated compressed matev converging arms, vertically arranged flat portions formed on the inner ends of the arms and having slots arranged therein, a suspending hook for the body, and means formed on the shank of the hook to be received in the slots for slidable movement therein for detachably securing the ilat portions in contacting engagement and the bodvl-in hanger formation. a
