(Cl. Z4-260) 1 Claim.
This invention relates to a device for suspension and maintenance of garments, and particularly for trousers, skirts, and kindred articles.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a device for the above purpose which will be conveniently and economically manufacturable, salable at very low cost, conveniently and eiiiciently utilizable, light, strong, durable, irnproved, and wherewith the garment may be maintained in properly suspended condition without creasing, impairment, or loss of essential form.
Other objects and advantages will hereinafter appear.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view showing the suspension device for garments, constituting the invention.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the device shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a transverse cross-sectional plan view of the device, in an enlarged scale, taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. l.
Fig. 4 is an elevational front View of a coat hanger, illustrating the mode of utilization in connection therewith of the garment suspending device of the invention shown in Figs. 1, 2.
Figs. 5 and 6 are a front elevational View and a ,side elevation, respectively, showing a modification of the invention.
Fig. 7 is an elevational view of a coat hanger, illustrating in connection therewith of the devices shown in Figs. 5, 6.
The suspending device I, Figs. 1, 2, consists of a single piece of wire 2, which is bent and congurated to form an upright leg 3 having a horizontal pronged end 4. From the upper end of leg 3 the wire 2 is bent circularly to form a spring 5, and from said spring the wire extends downwardly to form another and cooperating leg 6, similar to the leg 3. At the terminal of leg 6 the wire 2 is bent to form an eye 1, and may be also twisted at 8 thereat to secure the formation of said eye, wherefrom it extends upwardly as 6a, Fig. 2, in Contact and in parallelism with the leg 6, to the top of spring 5, whereat it is twisted therearound at 9 and has its terminal end portion I projecting therefrom as a pronged threaded element, capable of being readily and conveniently threaded into any wooden member. Astride the legs 3, 6 is located a fitting II consisting of a single piece of wire I 2 bent to provide a cross-bar I3 having one end I4 thereof, Fig. 3, congurated to embrace the leg 3 and its other end I formed to similarly embrace the leg 6 with its contacting wire-portion 6a. The tting II is therefore slidable upwardly and downwardly along the legs 3, 6, from an upward position shown by the dash-and-dot lines to a median position illustrated. Upon disposing the fitting II to said upward position, the legs 3, 6 of the device become distended away from each other, as 'indicated by the dash-and-dot lines, Fig. 1, by the tension of the spring portion 5, while sliding the fitting II downwardly to said median position brings the legs 3, 6 together in locked state, with the pronged terminal 4 of the former penetrating the eye 'I of the latter. The legs 3, G-a are preferably provided with dents IIa, which serve to lock the fitting II in its lowered operative state shown, against accidental dislocation that might disengage the prong 4 from eye I.
In utilizing the garment suspending device I, a pair thereof is secured to the ends of a garment hanger I6 Fig. 4, by means of threading its projections I0 thereinto, in manner illustrated. Upon then shifting the ttings II upwardly and spreading apart the legs 3, 6 of the devices any skirt or kindred garment I'I may be inserted with its marginal end between said legs, and the ttings II may be slid back to median operative positions, whereupon the projections 4 will penetrate the garment and thereby maintain it in efficiently suspended condition by the devices I.
According to the modification shown in Figs. 5, 6, the horizontal projection 4a is not made pronged, but is instead provided with a loop I8 which presses against the rim of the eye 1 when the fitting II is lowered to its operative position. This device, therefore, is adaptable for sustaining garments in which penetration by a pin 4, as in Fig. 1, is not desired, such as in the case of suspending trousers I9 or kindred garments, illustrated in Fig. 7, wherein the devices I are shown threaded into the hanger I6 at a lateral distance from each other to conform to the requirements of the particular garment it is desired to sustain in suspension.
Variations may be resorted to within the scope of the invention, and portions of the improvements may be used without others.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
A garment suspending device consisting of a single wire bent to form a leg, the wire being bent away from the end of said leg to form a spring, the wire being bent away from said spring to form a second leg for cooperation with said other leg, the wire being bent from the terminal of said second leg to extend backwardly toward said spring and said wire terminating in a threaded projection for thereby maintaining the device in secured state, a fitting having means for embracing said legs being slidable along said legs, and said tting permitting said legs to spread away from each other by the tension of said spring when in one position therealong and causing the terminals of said legs to engage each other when moved to another position therealong.
STEVE FALCETTI.
