Description
B. CAHN GARMENT HANGER Filed July 22, 1956 INVENTOR B. Caluz -Jau ATTORNEY Patented Jan. 25, 1938 UNITED srArs SEN T 0 PF] C E 1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in garment hangers, particularly that type used largely in clothing stores, laundries, cleaning establishments and the like.
A light weight cheap wooden hanger is now generally used in such establishments and it is the main object of the present invention to produce a like hanger made of other material than wood such as pressed fiber board and which will have all the advantages of the presently used hanger but will be capable of being produced at less cost and be much lighter in weight whereby 1e shipping cost may also be materially reduced.
A further object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensive device and yet one which will be exceedingly effective for the purpose for which it is designed.
These objects I accomplish by means of such structure and relative arrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claim.
In the drawing similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of one of my improved hangers.
Figure 2 is a similar view showing the bottom rail in section.
Figure 3 is a. sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 44 of Fig. 1.
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.
Figure 6 is a plan View of a pressed board blank partly broken and from which the cross bar of the hanger is formed.
The material from which my improved hanger is primarly and preferably made is that of fiber board made from wood pulp as distinguished from rag or paper pulp'boards and also as distinguished from ordinary wood from which the hangers of this type are now usually made.
This wood pulp board is usually made up in laminations L which are closely pressed and adhered together into the board B as shown in Fig. 5. The fiber board thus made has great inherent strength but at the same time it is much lighter and cheaper than wood and just as strong as wood and much stronger than ordinary fiber board made from rag or paper pulp.
In forming my improved hanger from this material I first cut the shoulder sections I of desired contour from a sheet of the pressed fiber board.
Suitable hanger hooks are then attached to the apices of these sections I in a manner similar to that disclosed in the patent of Cahn & Cahn Pat. No. 2,034,859 of March 24, 1936, the upper part of the sections I being slightly recessed at 3 so that the top edge of the bent over fingers 4 which secure the hooks to the sections. I will lie flush with the top edge of said sections and be held against lateral displacement.
Pressed board from which the sections I are made will be of suitable thickness so asito have 10 a rigidity substantially equal to that of wooden sections of like thickness.
The cross bars 5 of the hangers are made of lighter material than the shoulder sections. I. They are initially formed from a fiat blank C out from this lighter board of suitable length, the ends of which blanks are notched as at N and the blank being scored along lines S which scoring is in alinement with the side edges of the notches N.
In forming the hanger the sides of the blanks C are bent over along the scoring S toform the cross bars 5 as shown more clearly in Figs. 4 and 5.
The lower ends E of the members I are then projected into the notches N of the cross bars 5 and are there permanently stapled in place by means of staples 6. The rigidity of the material of the members I gives like rigidity to the members 5 at the ends where the ends E of the members I are stapled and rigidity is also given to the center of the cross bars 5 by means of small pieces I of the pressed board of the thickness of the members I, being there secured in place by staples 8. These pieces 1 may be cut from scrap material accumulating during the cutting out of the shoulder sections I from the sheet of pressed board.
Since the pressed board is very easily but with band saws, a large number of the pressed board sheets may be piled one on the other and the shoulder sections I rapidly cut therefrom in large quantities. Similarly the blanks for the cross bars 5 may be cut from stacked sheets of the lighter weight pressed board. All of the parts will be accurately cut so that the assembling in the manner described may be carried on also with great rapidity.
Since the material itself is relatively inexpensive and since the manufacturing operations may be carried on very economically, hangers made of the material and in the form disclosed may be produced in large quantities and at a price competitive with wooden hangers. The pressed board itself being materially lighter than wood this specification.
While this specification sts forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the deyice 'a'p parent that I have produced a hanger-which satisfies the objects set forth in the prea nble ot,
still in practice such deviations from such detail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A hanger formed from pressed fiber board and comprising a relatively rigid shoulder section and a, crossbar, the crossv'bar being formed from a relativelyflight fiber boardprovided with notches in its ends, the latter board being folded over on each side of the notches and the free ends of the slipizl lcler sections projecting into the notches and secured" to the folded-over sides of the cross bar, and;reinforcing blocks secured between the folds of the cross bar at points substantially midway of the length'the're'of.
