CLOTHES HANGER F'ild May 13, 1957 Ema him,

This invention relates to improvements in clothes hangers.
The object of the invention is to provide a hanger adapted to support a suit of clothes in 5 such a manner as not to wrinkle the trousers. This is accomplished by forming the hanger of a single strand of wire and providing a pair of spring clips, formed integral therewith, and adapted to support the trousers.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the specification of which the drawing forms a part, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of my improved hanger,
Figure 2 is a bottom plan. view of the same,
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 1,
Figure 4 is a fragmentary view in elevation of a part of the engaging portion of one of the clips, and
Figure 5 is a cross sectional view on the line 5-5 of Figure 4.
Referring more particularly to the drawing wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts in the different views, the clothes hanger I is formed of a single strand of wire. One end of the wire is bent to formthe hook H which is provided with a shank or neck l2. The strand is bent outwardly at I3 and then downwardly to form the supporting member M. The corresponding end I is wrapped about the neck l2, and is bent outwardly at l6 and then downwardly to form the corresponding supporting member IT.
The lower portions of members l4 and I! are bent inwardly at I8 and I9 respectively to form the corresponding horizontal members 2|).
Formed integral with members 2|] are the spring clips 2| and 22. Clips 2| and 22 are formed 40 by bending the members downwardly at 23 and back upon themselves at 24 as seen in Figure 2, to form the portions 25. Formed integral with portions 25 are the offset portions 26 forming the supporting members as best seen in Figure 4. 45 Portions 25 are bent upwardly at 21 to form parts 28 and then inwardly to form parts 29 which extend parallel with members 20. Parts 29 are bent outwardly and upwardly at 30 to form portions 3|. Portions 3| are offset at 32 and terminate in coil springs 33 as best seen in Figure 3.
The opposite ends of coils 33 extend downwardly and are offset to form portions 34 corresponding to portions 3|. Portions 34 are bent at 35 to form parts 36. Parts 36 are bent downwardly to form parts 31 and back upon themselves to form parts 38 corresponding to parts 25. Formed integral with parts 38 are the ofiset portions 39 corresponding to and adapted to cooperate with portions 26. Parts 38 are bent upwardly to form portions 40 and inwardly toform the horizontal member 4| which is a continuation of members 20. The intermediate portion of member 4| is bent to form the arcuate portion 42.
The corresponding gripping portions of the clips 2| and 22 are serrated at 44 to provide a better support.
To use, the trousers are gripped between the corresponding portions 25 and 38 of the clips 2| and 22. This is accomplished by pressing the upper part of members 3| and 34 toward each other to separate parts 25 and 38 to permit the trousers to be placed therebetween. Upon releasing parts 3| and 34 coil springs 33 will cause parts 25 and 38 to move toward each other thereby gripping the trousers, the serrated portions 44 assisting in supporting the trousers. The coat and vest are then placed on members l4 and I! and the hanger I0 is ready to be supported by hook H from any suitable means.
It is to be understood that only the preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown,
the right being reserved to make such changes as will not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
I claim as my invention:--
1. A wire suit hanger comprising portions adapted to support a coat, a portion connecting said coat supporting portions, and spring actuated gripping jaws formed integral with said last mentioned portion and terminating in upwardly extending legs compressible for opening the jaws, and said jaws being adapted to frictionally engage a pair of trousers to support the same.
2. A clothes hanger comprising a wire hanger having one end thereof bent to form a hook, the
other end of said wire engaging the shank of said hook, corresponding inclined portions adapted to form a support for a coat, and a horizontal portion having spring actuated jaws formed integral therewith, and provided with upwardly extending legs terminating in coils to resiliently retain the jaws in a closed position.
3. A device of the class described comprising a strand of wire having one end bent to form a hook, corresponding portions adapted to form a coat support, and a horizontal portion bent to form pairs of spring actuated jaws adapted to support a pair of trousers, each of said pairs of jaws terminating in upwardly extending legs having ofiset upper ends adapted to be compressed for opening the jaws.
4. A clothes hanger formed from a single strand of wire and having one end thereof bent to form a supporting hook, corresponding inclined portions providing a coat support, the intermediate portion of said wire being bent to provide spring clips, said clips having corresponding downwardly extending gripping jaws, said jaws being connected by upwardly extending legs, said legs terminating in coils, said coils normally urging said gripping jaws toward each other, and said legs being compressible to open said jaws.
5. In combination with a wire coat hanger, spring clips formed integral therewith, said clips being formed from the intermediate portion of the wire and including downwardly extending portions bent to form gripping jaws, the corresponding ends of said portions extending upwardly to form legs and being ofiset intermediate of their ends, said legs terminating in resilient coils, and the upper portion of said legs being compressible to move said gripping jaws outwardly, said jaws being normally urged inwardly by the resilient coils.
6. A clothes hanger formed from a single strand of wire and having its intermediate portion bent to form spring clips, said clips comprising pairs of depending portions each of which is connected by horizontally extending portions to form gripping jaws, said jaws being substantially parallel to each other normally, the corresponding ends of said jaws extending upwardly and the upper ends thereof terminating in a coil, said coil normally urging said jaws toward each other, and said upwardly extending portions be- CODY LOVELESS.
