Application April 12, 1940, Serial No. 329,273
1 Claim.
This invention relates to a garment display hanger, and particularly for hanging what are known as slack suits.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a suit hanger so constructed that the trousers of the suit may be hung from the belt line and displayed in a full length natural manner substantially as if worn, while the jacket or coat may also be hung on the hanger above the trousers.
Although particularly designed for slack suits, the hanger may also be used for hanging womens suits of the coat and skirt type.
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 the hanger, with the releasable clamping bar in position to place or remove trousers in the hanger.
Figure 2 is a similar fragmentary view, showing said bar in a held and clamping position.
Figure 3 is a sectional plan on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary end view of the hanger.
Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference on the drawing, the hanger is preferably made of two pieces of tempered steel rod. One such piece includes a top hook I to engage a supporting rod or peg. A short shank 2 depends from the hook, this being followed by a short portion 3 sloping away from the hook, and which provides a support or shaper for the collar of the jacket. The hanger rod then bends sharply down as at G for a short distance, and then extends at a downward slope substantially parallel to portion 3 and away from the same to one end of the hanger to form a coat or jacket shoulder support 5. At the outer end of support 5 the rod is bent down to form a depending arm 6 which terminates in an inturned vertically disposed eye 'I.
The other piece of rod of which the hanger is constructed includes a short straight portion 8 abutted and secured against shank 2, and is then bent to form a portion 3a corresponding to and symmetrical with portion 3, a shoulder support 5a corresponding to and symmetrical with support 5, and a depending arm 9 at the outer end of support 50..
Instead of said arm terminating as does arm 6 however, arm 9 at its lower end is formed with an abrupt bend It, and the rod then extends straight across to the eye I to form a clamping bar I I. The bar passes snugly through eye 'I in the form of a fiat horizontal loop I2 and then doubles back in close horizontal relation to bar II to a termination adjacent but beyond arm 9, forming a cooperating clamping bar I3. The loop I2 is formed during manufacture so that the bar I3 normally assumes a downward slope to its free end, as shown in Fig. 1, thus forming an opening between bars I I and I3 of suiiicient depth at the arm 9 to make it easy to initially slide the trousers to be hung between the bars.
In order to clamp the trousers in place however, it is necessary that the bars shall be held in horizontally parallel relation to each other, and to this end the arm 9, on the same side as the bar I3, is provided with an upwardly facing crotch or cradle member I4 to receive the bar I3 adjacent its free end from above and disposed so that when said bar is seated in the cradle, it is parallel to bar I I.
In order that the releasable bar may exert a slight pressure along the held garment for the greater portion of its length, said bar I3 is preferably bent or curved outward slightly for a short distance from its free end as at I5, corresponding substantially to the slope of the adjacent side of the loop I2 at the other end of the bar. Due to this arrangement, a narrow slot I6 is formed between the bars for substantially their full length when bar I3 is held in the cradle I4, which slot however is capable of variation according to the thickness of the goods being held on account of the natural resiliency of the metal and the chance it has to give outwardly at the loop and cradle ends.
From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that I have produced such a device as substantially fulfills the objects of the invention as set forth herein.
While this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device, 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 garment hanger including a supporting unit having depending end arms, a vertical eye formed on the lower end of one arm, a clamping bar rigid with the other arm and extending therefrom to one side of said eye, a horizontal 100p formed as an extension of said bar and projecting through the eye, a unitary cooperating clamping bar formed with and extending from the loop on the other side of the eye and projecting to a termination beyond the other arm,
said cooperating bar and loop being resilient and the bar normally diverging relative to the first named bar from said loop, and means on said other arm to releasably engage the cooperating bar adjacent its termination and hold said bar horizontally parallel and close to the first named bar.
LESTER C. BRITNER.
