Description
April 5, 1938. M. ZEMBA 2,112,947
GARMENT HANG ER Filed July 19, 1937 Patented Apr. 5, 1938 UNITED STATES GARMENT HANGER Margaret Zemba, Berwyn, Ill., assignor to Carson, Pirie, Scott & Company, Chicago, 111., a
corporation of Illinois Application July 1 9, 1937, Serial No. 154,335
1 Claim.
My invention relates to garment hangers. One of the objects of my invention is to provide an improved garment hanger suitable for supporting garments which are provided with a straps.
A further object of my invention is to provide such a construction in which straps can be attached easily and in which the straps are not likely to become detached accidentally.
A further object is to provide such a construction in which provision is made for securing the straps and in which the hangers will not be apt to get tangled up with other hangers when thrown together.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and claim.
In the drawing, in which an embodiment of my invention is shown,-
20 Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the garment hanger;
Fig. 2 is a plan view;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the hanger with a garment suspended therefrom; and
Fig. 4 is a detail view of the strap-securing loop.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the construction shown comprises a garment hanger having a hook-like suspension member I, which may, if desired, be formed of wire, and a pair of wire garment-supporting arms 2 which may be formed of an integral piece of wire having a swivel connection at 3 with the suspension member 1. Each arm terminates in a spiral strapreceiving ring or coil portion t integral with an arm portion 2. The coil portion 4 in general lies below the arm portion 2, the end 5 of the coil portion extending adjacent and alongside the beginning 6 of the coil portion. The overlapping portions 5 and 6 of the ring are spaced sufficiently far apart to enable the supporting strap 'l of a garment to pass between the adjacent coil portions 5 and 6 without substantial resistance and yet close enough together to prevent accidental detach- 5 ment of the strap '1' from the coil in case the hanger with the garment attached thereto is placed on a counter, or the like. The adjacent coil portions 5 and 6, however, are spaced apart a distance less than the thickness of the wire so that if a number of hangers are thrown together they will not be likely to get tangled up by rea- 5 son of a Wire portion of one hanger catching in a coil portion of another hanger.
In use, the straps I of the garment 8 may be radially attached to the coil portions 4 of the hanger by slipping a portion of the strap between 10 adjacent portions of the coil, the coil portions 5 and 6, as stated above, being spaced apart sufiiciently to enable this connection to be made.
In detaching the strap from the coil portion,
a portion of the strap is slipped between the adjacent portions of the coil and the strap thus disconnected from the coil.
While I have shown the hook as having a swivel connection with the arm portions, it is obvious that a hanger embodying my improved ring connection might be made in which the suspension hook would not be swiveled with respect to the arm.
Further modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art and it is desired, therefore, that the invention be limited only by the prior art and the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A garment hanger comprising a suspension member and a pair of wire arms each terminating in a helical strap-receiving coil portion-integral with an arm portion, the coil portion in general being below the arm portion, the end of the coil portion extending adjacent and alongside 35 the beginning of the coil portion and terminating in a downwardly extending portion and being spaced therefrom sufficiently to enable the supporting strap of a garment to pass between said adjacent coil portions without substantial resistance, said adjacent coil portions being spaced apart less than the thickness of the wire, whereby the hanger will not become entangled with other hangers.
MARGARET ZEMBA.
