GARMENT HANGER cLiP Filed Jan. 4, 1936 ATTORNEY.
Patented Apr. 20, 1 937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 4 Claims.
. This invention relates to garment hanger clips and more specifically to a clip designed to, hold garments securely in position on a hanger.
One of the prime objects of the invention is to design a clip especially adaptable for use in hanging silk and other filmy, fragile garments for storage or display purposes, and which serves as a positive means to prevent slippage from the hanger, or to one side or the other of the hanger,
which is conducive to soiling, as well as untidy and disarranged appearance in the display room.
A further object is to design clips which are easily and quickly adjustable on the hanger proper, so that they can be readily adjusted to suit various sizes and styles of garments.
A still further object is to design a clip which can be readily and economically manufactured and assembled, and which is so designed that the clip tightly grips the hanger when it is manipulated to clamp the garment.
With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of the novel construction, adaptation, combination, and. arrangement of parts,
hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawing- Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of a hanger, with two of my improved clips installed thereon.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the blanked clip before it has been formed to shape.
Fig. 3 is a side view showing the clip formed and finished.
Fig. 4 is an end view.
Fig. 5 is a plan illustrating the blank formed from rubber or other resilient material.
Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 1.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing in which I have shown one embodiment of my invention, the numeral 8 indicates a garment hanger of conventional design, which is pro- 1 vided with a hook 9 as usual, and while it will be understood that two of my garment hanger clips are ordinarily used in securing a garment on a hanger, one on either side of the garment opening, it is deemed sufficient to describe but one clip only, as both clips are identical in construction and operation.
Each clip or securing member comprises a pref erably metal blank Ill stamped from fiat sheet stock and formed as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing, legs II being formed integral with the stamping and are bent downwardly as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 so that they lie in facial contact with the side walls of the hanger proper, the extreme ends being turned upwardly to form hooks I2, and for a purpose to be presently described.
The clip is so designed that the main body does not lie in contact with or bear on the upper surface of the hanger and is formed with a tapered holding arm I3 as shown, said arm being bent downwardly, with the outer end normally bearing on the hanger, the extreme end I4 being slightly rolled and rounded so that there are no rough ends or corners to catch or snag the material of 10 which the garment is made.
An oppositely disposed, slightly tapered lever arm I5 is also formed integral with the main body, the section immediately adjacent the main body being rolled as at I6 to form a bearing which bears on the upper surface of the hanger, the end leading upwardly at an angle to form a thumb rest or lever to facilitate the manipulation thereof.
The clip is secured in position by means of the resilient member Il which is formed as clearly shown in Fig. 5, the legs I8 being slit as at I9 to permit engagement by the hooks I2; oppositely disposed sections 26 are also formed integral with the main body and normally serve as finger holds so that the clips may be adjusted on the hanger, the resiliency of this member and frictional contact of the clip insuring its remaining in set position.
I wish to direct particular attention to the fact that the bearing It is relatively close to the legs which attach to the resilient member I'I; consequently, by exerting a downward pressure on the thumb rest I5, the member I! will be stretched and the arm I3 will be swung upwardly to position as shown in broken lines in Fig. 1 of the drawing, permitting the cloth of a garment to be interposed between the end of the holding arm and the hanger, and when the pressure is removed, this arm springs back to normal position and clamps the cloth of the garment between the outer end of the arm and the upper surface of the hanger, holding it securely in position so that it will not become disarranged or fall to the floor when bumped against, contacted by a passerby, swung by strong air currents, or for any other reason.
The clips are readily adjustable outwardly or inwardly on the hanger to suit the neck opening of the garment to be hung; it is merely necessary to grasp the leg 20 and exert sufiicient pull to overcome the frictional resistance of the resilient member and clip on the hanger.
From the foregoing description it will be obvious that I have perfected a very simple, inexpensive, and practical clip for garment hangers and the like.
What I claim is:
1. A garment hanger clip having in combination, a metallic clip provided with downwardly projecting spaced apart legs, and a flexible resilient member detachably secured to and connecting the ends of said legs.
2. A garment hanger clip having in combination, a metallic clip provided with downwardly projecting spaced apart legs, opposed arms formed integral with the clip and adapted to bear on the upper edge of a garment hanger, one of said arms being shaped to form a bearing directly adjacent the main body of the clip, and resilient flexible means detachably secured to and connecting the ends of said legs.
3. A garment hanger clip adapted to be mounted on a garment hanger and comprising a metallic clip formed with spaced apart downwardly projecting legs, opposed holding and lever arms formed integral with the clip, the holding arm leading downwardly and adapted to engage the upper surface of the hanger, the lever arm being shaped at a point directly adjacent the legs to form a bearing, with the end projecting upwardly to form a thumb rest, and. resilient means adapted to embrace the bottom section of a hanger and connecting said legs.
4. A garment hanger clip adapted to be adjustably mounted on a garment hanger, and comprising a metallic clip formed with spaced apart downwardly projecting legs adapted to straddle a hanger, opposed. holding and lever arms formed integral with the clip, the holding arm being pitched downwardly with the outer end adapted to engage the upper surface of the hanger, the lever arm being rolled to form a bearing at a point directly adjacent the main body of the clip which normally is adapted to bear on the hanger, the free end projecting outwardly to form a thumb rest, resilient means adapted to embrace the bottom section of the hanger and connected to the respective legs, and
projecting sections on the resilient means forming a finger hold to facilitate adjustment of the clip on a hanger.
