HANGER Filed OCT.. 27, 1941 Patented July 28, 1942 UNITE TES PATENT FEIQE y HANGER Henry Vanderwerp and Herman G.` Alof-s, Grand Rapids, Mich.
3 Claims.
This invention relates in general to hangers and more particularly to that type of hanger which is adapted to be removably supported on the upper edge of a door or window or the like without the use of additional fastening means.
In general our device consists of a bracket which has means thereon enabling it to be supported on a door or window and which has anchored thereto a rod which is bent between its ends to form a hook portion. It is one of the prime objects of this invention to provide novel means on the bracket for supporting the rod rigidly and yet which will permit the rod to be removed therefrom easily and quickly.
Another object of the invention is the provision of means located on the outer surface of the bracket adapted to contact a portion of the rod and bear thereagainst to prevent its inadvertent removal, but which will permit easy removal of the rod by exerting a small amount of force thereon;
Other objects and purposes of the invention will appear more fully as the description proceeds.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends said invention, then, consists of the means hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
The annexed drawing and following description set forth in detail certain means for carrying out our invention, said means constituting, however, but one of various ways in which the principle of the invention may be employed.
In said annexed drawing wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the hanger.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the bracket and the detent means thereon, and
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary rear elevation.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing, we provide a bracket which has a main body portion I, bent rearwardly at its upper edge for a short distance as at 2 and which terminates in a downwardly extending flange 3. The space between the flange 3 and the body portion I may be varied as to size in order that it may be adapted to fit snugly over articles of different widths such as doors or windows.
A rod, which is generally indicated at 4, is provided which is bent between its ends to form a hook portion as shown at 5. The ends of the rod are removably anchored or secured to the outer surface of the body portion I of the bracket. This may be done in several different ways, but the preferred form is shown in the drawing wherein a vertical bearing ymember 6 is located adjacent the top edge of the body. Below the vertical bearing a second bearing I is located which extends in a horizontal plane transversely of the body portion. One end of the rod 4 is disposed vertically as at 8 and is received within the vertical bearing member 6, while the other end of the rod is horizontally disposed as at 9 and is removably received within the bearing member l; Adjacent the horizontal portion 9 the rod is bent so that it is located substantially vertically as at I0.
Thus far it will be seen that the rod may easily be inserted at its ends within the bearing members and just as easily removed therefrom. To
prevent any inadvertent removal of the rod while it is in use we provide a detent II which may be either formed by stamping integrally with the body portion of the bracket or may assume other forms and be secured thereto. This detent, in whatever form 1t may take, bears against the vertical portion I0 of the rod 4 as clearly shown in Fig. 1. Any ordinary attempt to remove the rod by sliding the end 9 thereof out of the bearing I will be thwarted because of the presence of the detent II. If it is desired to remove the rod entirely from the bracket it may be accomplished by exerting a force thereon sucient to permit theportion I0 to clear the detent whereupon the rod may be easily removed.
In Fig. 4 we have illustrated a keyhole opening I2 in the flange 3. This will permit the device to be supported by a nail or screw in a wall or door if it is not convenient for it to be hooked over a door or window.
In actual practice this device has been found to operate satisfactorily and the few operations necessary for its manufacture is an economical advantage.
Other modes of applying the principle of our invention may be used instead of the one here described, change being made as regards the structure herein disclosed provided, however, that the means stated by any of the following claims or the equivalent of such stated means be employed.
We, therefore, particularly point out and distinctly claim as our invention:
1. A hanger comprising, a bracket, a vertical bearing member on the outer surface of said bracket near the top thereof, a horizontal bearing member below and to one side of said vertical bearing, a detent also on the outer surface of said bracket below said horizontal bearing, and a rod bent between its ends to form a hook portion having one end thereof disposed vertically and located in said vertical bearing and the other end disposed horizontally and located in said horizontal bearing, a portion of said rod adjacent the horizontal end bearing against said detent, as specied.
2. A hanger comprising, a bracket, a vertical bearing on the outer surface of said bracket near the top thereof, a horizontal bearing below the vertical bearing, a detent on said bracket below said horizontal bearing, and a rod bent between its ends to form a hook portion, one end of said rod being disposed vertically and located in said vertical bearing, and the other end thereof disposed horizontally and located in said horizontal bearing, a portion of said rod adjacent the horizontal end bearing against said detent, as specied.
3. A hanger comprising, a bracket, two bearing members on the outer surface of said bracket, one below the other, a detent on said bracket also on the outer surface thereof and below said bearings, and a rod `bent between its ends to form a hook portion, one end of said rod located in one of said bearings and the other end of the rod iocated in the other bearing, said rod having a substantially vertical portion bearing against said detent, as specified.
