Description
Original application J in ne 9, 1936, Serial No. s4,-
307. Divided and this application November 5, 1936, Serial No. 109,322
5 Claims.
This invention is an improvement in garment protectors, particularly applicable in connection with means for raising and lowering it in operative relation to a relatively stationary separable supporting yoke or hanger, as in my prior application Serial No. 71,617, 'filed March 30, 1936 for Garment protector.
The protector per se consists of a tightly closing bag or casing, open at one edge portion only for access to the interior below the rounded or arching top, and so constructed as to provide for tight sealing when closed. The construction of the edge portion provides, in addition to its sealing function, a special facility in accurate positioning and certainty'of effecting connection of the fastening elements for positive closure of any circulating space.
The means for raising, lowering and holding the protector is especially designed for ease and convenience of access to the interior for placement or removal of garments, in connection with the supporting means therefor.
This application is a division of my prior application Ser. No. 84,307, filed June 9, 1936 for Garment protector. H
In the drawing showing one preferred construction:
Fig. 1 is a front View in elevation, partly broken away, showing the protector closed in lowered depending position over the suspended garments;
Fig; 2 is a similar view showing the protector elevated for removal or insertion of the garments andwith the edge flaps open;
Fig. 3 is a top or plan view of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is an enlarged vertical sectional View on the line IV-IV of Fig. 2;
Fig. 5 is an interior-sectional view on the line V--V of Fig. 4.
The garment supporting and protector-adjusting mechanism, with which the protecting covering cooperates in its entirety comprises a conventional yoke 2 of any suitable construction, over which the garment or garments 3, as a coat, cloak, dress, suit, etc. is or are .draped for normal support, in the usualmanner. V V
The yoke 2 is provided at its middle portion with a central vertical opening or socket 4, entirely or only partly through it, upwardly from the lower side, adapted to be engaged by a co-operating hook .iatthe lower terminal of an elongated stem or shank 1 6 of wire. At its upper end stem 6 terminates in a supporting hook 1- adapted to engage a carrying bar or rod 8. Hook 1 is extended around in the form of an engaging loop terminatingin a rounded reversed eye 9 orthe like,for grasping, The inner portion-of the wire forming the 7 eye 9:13 rounded as shown,,leaving a space H) slightly less in width than the diameter of bar 3 to prevent accidental removal therefrom.
The hook I being somewhat resilient, allows for hook I9 passed through placement over the bar as in the usual open'hook form, but with outward and reverse automatic spring action. By withdrawing the terminal 9 of either the rounded or any other suitable form the entire stem and its suspended load may beeasily removed from the bar.
The stem or rod 6 is twisted on itself to provide a looped eye 9a, made in the shank of the stem itself, preferably closely below the hook I, through which, or through eye 9, or both, a raising or lowering pull cord i8 is passed. The cord 58 'is adapted to be fastened in any suitable manner whenraised, as indicated in Fig. 2. The pull of the cord through eye 9a is thus in close alinement with'the stem 6, thereby avoiding lateral strains.
Instead ofengaging the socket i the yoke may be provided with an ordinary screw eye or hook for connection by hook 5, of any other suitable form, as in my prior application.
The protector H is in the form of an enclosing bag or pouch, through the top portion of which the stem 6 slidably passes, as at 5a. It is closed at the bottom a, one edge or side I), and the top c, the latter being rounded or otherwise extended upwardly to a material extent for reception, well above an entrance and exit opening at along the opposite edge or side, of "the hanger yoke and shoulder portions of its suspended garments;
' The protector as a whole is composed of a front wall l2 and a back wall 13 connected in any suitable manner as by overlapping adhesively secured reinforcing strips I4.
At the upper inside middle portion of the arched top a is a. vertically arranged inverted V shape single or double thickness reinforcing strip of strong fabric I 5. It is adhesively secured to the inner faces of front 12 and back i3 and having overlapping connection with transverse strengthening threads I6 secured to such inner faces by adhesively applied holding and reinforcing strips l1.
' Strip l5 thus provides an anchoring connection for the raising and lowering means for the protector with relation to the relatively'stationary yoke 2 and its burden. Pull cord 68 is connected with the upper end of the protector by a terminal the upper opposite walls of the protector and o strip l5, firmly engaging it, asin Fig. 4. Y By such means the protector may be lowered over the yoke and its supported garments, close-v 7 1y adjacent thereto as in Fig. 1, or raised and secured by wrapping cord l8 around loop 9, as in Fig. 2. H
It-will be observed that when the protector is lowered the yoke and upper portions of the garments occupy its upwardly rounded or arched top cavity portion, considerably above the upper terminal of side edge opening d, and that when it is raised as in Fig. 2 the opening gives easy access thereto for removal or replacement.
Insuch position the garments may be readily removed from the yoke through the full registering opening, or the yoke and its burden may be as easily disconnected from hook 5 or replaced there on, without interference or close proximity to the interior cavity walls at the top.
Side or edge opening 11 extends through the full depth of the protector up to a point approximating the lower terminal of the curve or slope of the rounded top, as at e. I
Throughout such extent the open double flap portions provide folding flap sections 2| and 22 which, when brought together, are folded in double formation successively inwardly upon themselves on bending lines 1 and g throughout their entire length, for final securing attachment to the main equal width front wall adjacent similar section 23.
It will be observed that at the upper terminal 6 of the opening the secured together edges of the front and back top portion extend down angularly across flap portions 22, connecting them at the top, as at 24. Also, that at such upper location the bending portion of flap 22 and adjacent portion of section 23 is strongly reinforced both front and back. by strengthening threads 25 firmly incorporated with the material by overlying adhesively applied thin reinforcing strips like strips Such portion of the container is thereby greatly strengthened against the strains of opening and closing, and of insertion and removal of the contents.
The outermost flaps 2| are redoubled upon themselves from their outermost edges back to the first bending line I, and the outer edges of each flap are preferably reinforced. The inner terminal edges of such redoubled fiaps 2|, terminating at first bending line I are likewise preferably reinforced.
The edge portion of the protector is provided with opening and closing means of the familiar snap or glove fastener type, utilizing snap eyes 30 and interfitting snap lugs 3 arranged in corresponding rows on the outer face of the rear one of flaps 2| and the front face of innermost outer flap section 23 respectively. These are mounted in position by any suitable means, as adhesively or otherwise applied reinforcing sections of the same thin material of which the entire protecting unit is made. The fasteners are imbedded in the walls and reinforced as in patent of Hausner No. 1,451,612 of which I am the owner.
At any suitable portion of the protector, as its lower end, a small container 33 of glass or other material, having an open top provided with cross bars 34, is inserted in a holding pocket formed by cross stitching 35. Such receptacle is made long and narrow, preferably having a fiat base for standing erect when removed for purpose of filling. It is of advantage in dispensing within the bag and to its contents the vapors of a contained fluid insecticide or a perfume.
The construction and manner of use of my invention will be readily understood and appreciated from the foregoing description.
With the hanger yoke 2 in position at the lower end of rod 6, or with the yoke separated and in supporting engagement with the garments, the .protectoris first elevated by cord l8 as in Fig. 2, with the edge flaps open. In such position the user has free access to the interior either in replacing the yoke and its suspended garments through the vertical edge opening, or in placing the garments on the yoke when it is in fixedly connected position on the supporting stem.
Removal ofthe yoke and garments, or gar ments only, is thus rendered similarly easy and rapid, without interference or upward reaching and inconvenience as in a stationary covering bag with the yoke closely adjacent its inner top portion, as will be readily understood. The c1osing of the flaps in the manner describedcompletely protects and isolates the contents of the protector until it is opened for removal or further insertion and placement of other garments.
By thus supporting the protector on the stem the hanger is located sufiiciently below its top to be easily available for placement or removal of garments with a fixed yoke, or removal of the yoke itself when separably connected with the stem.
With the construction as described the invention provides for complete isolated protection and great convenience, certainty and ease of use in opening or closing the protector, for storage of wearing apparel or the like.
What I claim is:
1. In combination with a relatively fixed garment support comprising a yoke and an elongated supporting wire stern therefor having a terminal hook and a looped eye, and raising and lowering means engaging the looped eye, a garment protector connected with the raising and lowering means slidably engaging the stem and having a side entrance and exit opening therein.
2. In combination with a relatively fixed garment support comprising a yoke and an elongated supporting wire stem therefor having a terminal loop and a looped eye and separable connection with the yoke, and a raising and lowering cord for a surrounding covering engaging the looped eye, a cooperating garment protector connected with the raising and lowering cord having a side entrance and exit opening therein and slidably engaging the stem.
3. In combination with a relatively fixed garment support comprising a yoke and an elongated supporting stem therefor having separable connection with the yoke and provided with a terminal hook and a looped eye, raising and lowering means for a surrounding covering engaging the looped eye, a cooperating garment protector connected with the raising and lowering means having a vertical side entrance and exit opening below an upwardly extending closed top portion, said closed top portion having an opening for slidable engagement with the stem.
4. In combination With a garment hanger and an elongated supporting stem having an upper terminal hook and a looped eye and a raising and lowering cord engaging the eye, a garment protector connected with the raising and lowering cord slidably engaging the stem and having a side vertical entrance and exit opening below an upwardly extending closed top portion.
5. In combination with a garment hanger and an elongate-d supporting stem having an upper terminal hook and a closed eye and a raising and lowering cord engaging the eye, a garment protector connected with the raising and lowering cord slidably engaging the stem 'and having a vertical entrance and exit opening at one side edge portion below an upwardly extending closed top portion, and tightly closing means therefor.
