GARMENT HANGER Filed July 17, 1935 13 7 INVI'INTORZ ELADYS MJECROLL Patented Oct. 19, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application July 17,
1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in garment hangers and has particular reference to means associated with the garment hanger, whereby the garment may be readily supported 5 thereon, against accidental displacement regardless of its shape or weight.
A further object is to provide an attachment for garment hangers, whereby the attachment may be adjusted to accommodate garments of various sizes, which means will prevent the garment from slipping from said hanger.
A still further object is to produce a garment hanger provided with a garment securing means, that is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, highly elficient in use and exceedingly serviceable.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Fig. l is a side elevation of a garment hanger having the present invention applied thereto and showing the device in use,
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the garment hanger per se, with the retaining clips illustrated both in operative and inoperative position,
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the garment hanger,
Fig. 4 is a detail plan view on an enlarged scale illustrating to advantage the recess in which the retaining clip is secured.
Fig. 5 is a transverse vertical section through the hanger, the view being taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 6, and
Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail'view showing the retaining clip in operative position and, likewise,
illustrating to advantage the recess in which the clip is retained when it is in inoperative posi- 40 tion.
In the use of garment hangers great difficulty has been experienced, due to the fact that certain types of garments cannot be suspended therefrom, for instance, nightgowns, sleeveless dresses and like articles, for it is obvious that garments of this character will readily slip from I the garment supporting arms of the hanger, un-
less some means is provided to retain the garment thereon.
To my knowledge there have been certain attempts to eliminate the referred to inconvenience and annoyance, but these attachments as a rule, comprise either expensive clamping arms, and add considerably to the cost of the hanger, or 55 are of such a character that they serve to mar 1935, Serial No. 31,935
or soil the garment suspended from the hanger. To, therefore, produce a unique arrangement of an attachment for holding garments of varying sizes and different characters, I have devised my present invention.
In the accompanying drawing wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 designates the body of the garment hanger provided with the usual garment supporting arms 8 and 9, and the conventional hook ID by which the hanger may be suspended from a peg, or the like, H. To carry out my present invention, I propose to cut away or recess a portion of the respective supporting arms adjacent the ends thereof, as illustrated to advantage in Figs. 4 and 6, respectively, which cut-away portions function to receive therein a pivoted clip l2.
To realize the construction referred to, each side of the respective supporting arms has a V- shaped slot I? provided therein so as to form a pair of shoulders M and a groove l5. An opening I6 is, likewise, provided in each of the supporting arms and in each opening there is pivoted the substantially rectangular clip I2. When it is therefore desired to support a, sleeveless garment, a nightgown or the like, on the coat hanger, it is only necessary to raise each of the clips l2 until they assume the position illustrated to advantage in Figs. 1, 2 and 6, with the sides of the clips abutting the shoulders I l. When it is desired to have the hanger function as a conventional coat or suit hanger, the clips [2 are moved on their pivots with the top of the clip being receivable in the grooves [5 after they have travelled through the width of the V-shaped slots IS. The tops of the clips will then lie in a plane below the plane of the top of the hanger and a suit, coat or the like can be readily suspended from the hanger without danger of the clips wrinkling the supported garment.
From the foregoing description, considered in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be obvious that I have provided an economically constructed garment hanger that will read ily support thereon, against accidental displacement, garments of various sizes, weights and fabrics.
It is to be understood that the form of my i invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes relative to the material, size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit curved body provided of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim. Having thus described my invention, I c1aim:-- A garment hanger comprising an elongated V-shaped slots provided on each side of said} body and terminating in enlarged recesses and defin- With 'a, suspension hook, I the said body being cut away to define a pair of ing a pair of shoulders, and a garment retaining member pivotally mounted in each of the cut-away portions of said body and adaptedto" abut the shoulderswhen in operative position and receivable in the enlarged recesses when in inoperative position.
