3 Claims.
'Our invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a clotheshanger adapted for-use, primarily, indoors valthough from the descr-iption given it will appear that it may be used-outdoors as well. l
. It is an object of the present invention tolprovide a clotheshanger embodying a supporting line formed from elastic-material so that it-may be attached at'its opposite endsto supporting bodies which may be at dilferent distances apart, the stretchability of the line serving to accommo'date it'for such attachment.
vAnother object of the invention is the provision in a clothes hanger of a supportingline havinga plurality of supporting hooks sli'dably mounted thereon and `permanently attached thereto so that while they may be slid longitudinally of the line they cannot be removed therefrom.
Another object of the invention is the-provision in a clothes hanger of a supporting hoo'kf so arranged and constructed as to afford an efficient attachment of the clothes thereon while permitting easy and quick removal of the clothesV therefrom.
Another object of the invention is the provision in a clothes hanger ofthis class of a tubular elastic supporting line having attaching members permanently secured at opposite ends Ithereof and so arranged and constructed that a-rm attachment may be made to the ends of the-line and an economical structure provided.
Another object of the invention is the -provisionfof a hook possessed of elasticity and having at its converging end on its inner side, a slightly enlarged space for reception of a portionl fthe fabric and for facilitating slight expansionpf the hook as the fabric is placed in position.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
It is recognized that Vvarious modification-s and changes may be made in the detail of structure without departing from the spirit of the invention and it is intended that such variations and changes shall be embraced within the scope of the claims which form a part hereof.
Forming a part of the specification is a drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the nvention with parts broken away showing the invention applied between two stationary supports.
Fig. 2 is a slightly enlarged longitudinal vertical fragmentary sectional view of an end portion of the invention.
Fig. 3 is a Sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1,
f for-m i'of the inver-mon,
'Figfisf'a 'sectional view taken 'on line -6-5 Fig. 8 is a sidelelevaitional'view of a modi'ed 'for-m of hooi; used inthe`A invention, and,
Fig.` -`9f`-is aside 'elevational' view Vof a further modi'ed'forn v'offlflf'iok used' in the' invention.
As l'shcvvn'-inthe drawing,'the`1nvention embodies1la-clothesline lfwhich" is formed tubular and from*v elastic' *or lstretchable material such as "a' neckY I6 having a bo'reI Ilfor-'med therethrough communicating at oneen'd V'with a' tapered portion I8 and at theother yend'with an enlarged recess'lg. lInfassembling the'tting on the 'end of'the lneftheend-'Z''f then-line l5 is projected 'throughtheb'or'e Ilanda plug 2l is' inserted in- -teriorlyofthe fe'n'dZU, th'erelation of the outveter of'thebore Vl'beingr'such-that-when the plug T22 isiriser'ted in-tlefende, a close fit is provided lwhich'serves' toV clamp the Vend 20 in the bore Il.
This plug' 2 l is 'provided with "a 'hea'd 2 2 "which engages in the recess T9. v-'Iheengagement -of the hea'dZZ'inthef recess l 9- is 'a press `iit lso 'that a isle'icu're f mounting ff of 'fthe' 'tt'irig on 3 the en'd of the line" is thus afforded. It` will be noted that the bore I1 is of slightly smaller diameter than the'oltS-ide diameterf-the line |'5 and that-When a stretch or strain is exertedlo'n'the lin'e`l5, it
siidatiy'imounted*encule une l s are supporting Each of the Iittings is provided with an eyelet or loop-forming portion 2'| in which engages the eye 28 of a screw hook which is threaded into a stationary support 29. 'Ihese supports 29 may be of varying widths or distances apart, the stretchability or elasticity of the line I permitting the attachment to the stationary supports of various widths While, at the same time, preventing, when the ttings are close together, an undue sagging of the line.
A clothes hanger of this type lends itself admirably for use indoors and provides a simple and inexpensive clothes line which may be easily and quickly mounted in position indoors for supporting small garments such as lingerie, stockings, or the like.
In Fig. 5 we have shown a slightly different form of fitting. In this structure an eyelet 30 is provided with a neck 3| of substantially the same outside diameter as the inside diameter of the line |5 and the end of the line is slipped over the neck 3| and clamped in position by a split metallic band 32 which is clamped around the same.
In Fig. 7 we have shown a structure similar to Fig. 5 excepting that the neck 3| which corresponds to the neck 3| is corrugated to provide depressions and projections 34 over which the end of the line l5 is slipped, a split metallic band 32 being clamped over the structure.
In Fig. 8 we have shown `a slightly modified form of hook having an eyelet 23', an arm 24', and a doubled-over hook-forming portion 25 formed integral therewith. This hook is formed from a composition plastic metal material or any other suitable material which will allow a certain spring between the portions 25 and 24. The space 35, between the opposed edges of the portions 24 and 25', is V-shaped, terminating at its lower end in a restricted passage into which a portion of the garment, such as a stocking or the like, may be squeezed and gripped.
In Fig. 9 we have shown a further modied form of hook providing an eyelet 23" and an arm 24" formed integral therewith and stationary relatively thereto. Pivoted to theV end of the arm 24" by a pin 36 is an arm 31 which is adapted to swing behind a swingably mounted keeper 38 after the clothes have been secured in position. The arm 31 may be of the penetrating type such as a pin or it may be used merely to squeeze the fabric against the portion 24".
In this way we have provided a simple and eiTective structure for the purposes intended and one which is adapted to accomplish the objects set out.
What we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a device of the class described: a tubular elastic supporting line; a fitting attachable to the end of said line and comprising an elongated neck having a bore formed therethrough terminating at one end in a tapered portion and at the other end with an axially directed portion terminating in communication with a recess in said neck, said recess being of larger diameter than said bore, said end of said line being insertible into said bore and projecting through said tapered portion of said bore and into said axially directed portion, said tapered portion of said bore being of larger diameter than the axially directed portion of said bore, said tapered portion of said bore being of smaller diameter than the outside diameter of said line and the outer surface of said line bearing against the inner surface of the tapered portion of said bore; and a cylindrical securing plug inserted into the end of said line and the axially directed portion of said bore for clamping the end of said line therein.
