I GARMENT HANGER SLIP-ON COVER Filed Dec. 8, 1936 Patented Nov. 16, 1937 I UNITED STATES PATENT orrlcs I g 2,099,308 GARMENT HANGER SLIP-N COVER .Iohanna Q. Mchllister, Salt Lake City, Utah Application December 8, 1936, Serial No. 114,773 1 3 Claims. (o1. 223-98) 1 My invention relates generally to garment hangers, and more particularlytoslip-on covers that are adapted to be removably applied to the diverging arms of the conventional forms of gar- 5 ment hangers.
The principal objects of my invention are to provide slip-0n covers for garment hangers that are relatively simple in construction, capable of being easily and quickly applied to or removed from the hanger, and to provide a cover that is padded in order to increase the size of the support for the garment placed on the hanger, and at the same time provide a. soft, yielding support that will counteract any tendency of the garment to slip off the hanger and to eliminate creases or marks made in the garment by the arms of the hanger in the event that a garment is suspended for a. considerable period of time.
A further object of my invention is to construct the slip-on cover from washable material, preferably fabric, in order that the covers may be readily removed from a hanger and laundered after they have become soiled as a result of continued use.
' With the foregoing and other objects in view my inventionconsists in certain novel features of construction and arrangements of parts that will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a padded slip-on cover for garment hangers as contemplated by my invention and with a portion of one of the covering members broken away.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a modified form of the slip-on cover.
Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawing which illustrates a preferred embodiment of my invention, I0 designates a conventional garment hanger, preferably formed from a single piece of wood that is gradually curved throughout its length so as to conform to the general shape of the shoulder portions of garments, and secured to and projecting upwardly from the center of the hanger body is a hook ll, whereby the hanger may be conveniently suspended from a support such as a horizontally disposed rod or rail.
The portions of the hanger body I 0 to the sides of the centrally arranged hook ll constitute a pair of diverging arms that engage the shoulder portions of the suspended garment and my invention contemplates the construction of a slip-on cover for each of the arms, said covers being constructed of sufficient length to entirely enclose said arms, and the inner ends of the covers prac- 5 tically abut each other at the center of the body of the holder or the point where the hook I! is attached, which covers comprise an outer tube l2, preferably formed of washable fabric, and an inner tubular member l3 also formed of washable 10 fabric. The size and cross sectional shape of the inner tube I3 is such as to receive one of the arms of the hanger l0, and at the inner end of the cover the edges of the fabric forming the inner and outer tubes are secured to each other in any 15 suitable manner, preferably by stitching.
The outer end of the outer cover [2 is closed in any suitable manner, preferably by being gathered or shirred, and the space between the inner and outer fabric tubes is filled with a fibrous cushioning material, such as wool.
Secured to the inner end of the cushioning cover constructed as just described, is one end of a narrow flexible member l4, such as a cord or tape, and when the two covers are applied to the arms 2 of the holder they are secured thereon by tying the tape or cords to each other. If desired, the cords or tapes before being tied to each other may be wrapped once or more around the center of the hanger body l0 between the inner ends of the 30 slip-on covers or around the lower portion of the wire hook.
Thus the covers are firmly retained in proper position upon the body of the hanger and they provide an elongated cushion for engaging the a shoulder portions of the supported garment and, due to the frictional contact between the garment and the outer fabrics of the tubes, tendency of the garment to slip off the hanger is counteracted. 40
Inasmuch as the slip-on covers are padded and of substantial size in cross section, there will be notendency of the covered hanger to mark or crease the garment that is suspended from the hanger. 45
In the modified form of slip-on cover illustrated in Fig. 4, the cover comprises a tubular member I5 formed from suitable fabric of such size as to receive one of the diverging arms of the body of the hanger, the outer, end of said cover being 50 closed and the inner end carrying a flexible cord or tape l6 that is utilized for securing the covers in position uopn the hanger.
The construction of the covers is such that they may be easily and quickly applied to or removed 55 spirit of the invention, the scope of which is set forth in the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
1. A slip-on cover for garment hangers comprising an inner tubular member of fabric adapted to receive one of the diverging arms of a garment hanger, an outer tubular member of fabric enclosing said first mentioned tubular member, said tubular members being closed at one end, the
edges of the fabric tubes being secured to each other at the opposite end, and a fillingcf fibrous cushioning material between said tubular members.
2. A slip-on cover for garment hangers, com prising an inner tubular member of fabric adapted to receive one of the diverging arms of a garment hanger, an outer tubular member of fabric enclosing said first mentioned tubular memher, said tubular members being closed at one end, the edges of the fabric tubes being secured to each other at the opposite end, a filling of fibrous cushioning material between said tubular members,
and a flexible tie secured to one end of said cover.
3; A slip-on cover for garment hangers comprisinga pair of identical members, each composed of inner and outer tubular members of fabric, the inner tubular member being adapted to receive one of the diverging arms of the body of a garment hanger, the space between the tubular .members being filled with a fibrous cushioning material, and a flexible tie secured to one end of each covering member.
