Application April 10, 1937, Serial No. 136,044

3 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hangers for ties, garments, and the like, and constitutes a further improvement of the invention for which the U. S. Patent No.

1,503,236 was granted to me July 29, 1924.

Thus the main object of the invention is to provide a hanger or tie-rack, which may be adjusted to receive articles of a different size or width thereon, as said device may, or may not,

be divided into compartments, and which device is so constructed as to securely retain the articles placed thereon.

As the construction of my device is comparatively simple the cost of manufacturing should be proportionately low.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevational View of my invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan View of same; while Figure 3 is a side elevational View of my invention; and

Figure 4 is a detail sectional view on the line 4@ in Figure 3.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, l 0 indicates a support made of any suitable material and adapted for attachment to a wall or door. A member, or comparatively thin flat strip H,

preferably of metal and made with slots l2 in the knee-bent end portions l3 thereof, as may be seen especially in Figure. 3, is attached to the support It, as shown at M. Said member H may be provided with a number of apertures l5 therein, the

latter being adapted to receive partition members 16, whereby to divide, if. desired, the space formed by the support It) and the member H into a number of compartments; said partition members l6 extend from the member H to the support It].

Inside the member H is arranged another member l1, the ends of which terminate in short knee-bent portions I8, and which member I1 is provided with apertures I9 therein of a size just large enough to receive the members l6 loosely therein, and thus permit a free sliding of said member I! towards and away from the member It. The end portions I 8 have attached thereto a clip 20 terminating in a gripping portion 2|,

whereby to operate the latter. Said clip is provided with a raised portion 22 thereon, as may be seen especially in Figure 4, made, for instance, by a stamping process; said raised portion 22 has for its purpose to secure the member H in any suitable, adjusted position with respect to the 5 frame member H by turning said clip so that the raised portion engages the portions of the knee-bent frame I l above or below the cut-out portion 12. It will, of course, appear that when the raised portion 22 upon the clip 20 is in align- 1o ment with the cut-out portion E2 the member I? may slide freely towards or away from the member H; the clip 20 is secured to the knee-bent end portions l8 of the member I! by means of a short stud 23 formed upon both ends thereof with 15 a fiat portion 24. Said stud, while securing the clip 20 to the end portion. I8 of the member 51, extends through the slot l2 of the portion. I3, which is situated between said clip 20 and the end portion l8. 20

It is obvious that changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts, as shown and described herein, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention, and I 25 do not therefore wish to limit myself to the exact construction and arrangement shown and described herein.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of. the United States, is- 30 1. A garment hanger comprising a supporting member adapted for attachment to an object, a knee-bent member rigidly secured to said first member and being formed with slots at each end thereof, cross bars between said first and second members and secured to the latter, whereby to partition the space between said members, a slidable member arranged inside the second member and being formed with apertures therein, whereby to allow said slidable member to move upon the cross bars and the end pieces of the hanger, studs upon said slidable member adapted to move in the slots at the end portions of the second member, and a clip secured to said slidable member, said clip being formed with a projection thereon adapted to engage the end portions of the second member, whereby to arrest the slidable member in an adjusted position relative to the second member.

2. In a device of the class described, a tie-rack comprising a rear support, a front bar formed with rectangularly-bent slotted end portions and secured to said rear support, a member disposed inside said front bar, said member being formed 55 with rectangularly-bent short end pieces, a 'clip having a projection thereon, and arranged outside each end portion of the front bar, and studs passing through said slots connecting the clips to said member, the projections on the clips being adapted to secure the member in relative adjusted position with respect to the front bar.

3. In a device of the class described, a rear supporting member, a front member made with 10 kneebent end portions and attached to the rear member, said knee-bent end portions having slots formed therein, an adjustable, slidable member disposed inside said front member and formed with short knee-bent end portions, clips secured to the latter outside the front member, studs connecting said clips to the slidable member and means formed upon the clips, whereby to secure said slidable member in rigid position with respect to the front member.
