' GARMENT HANGER v Filed Feb. 12,l '1941 QTTORNE Y Patented Jan. 4, 1944 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
My invention relates to improvements in garment hanger. In the past all garment hangers are so constructed that the least bit of bumping into, or knocking, of said hangers they fall from the rod from which they are suspended and litter the closet7 or on a clothing store or garment factory, they become dangers to the shoppers or workers, who might trip, or fall, over said hangers. Those hangers also cause the hiring of extra help in department stores to keep picking the hangers from the iloor to avoid accident and to keep the store or factory neat and tidy. With my invention the hanger when once placed upon the rod will stay there and cannot be knocked, or bumped off the rod from which they are suspended. In my hanger I take advantage of a spring arrangement with a hook opening slightlyless than the thickness of the hanging rod thus giving the hanger a snapping arrangement, or effect, as is more particularly hereinafter described. Another advantage of my hanger is that it is an inexpensive proposition to make and is simple in construction and to use. It makes the cheapest, most inexpensive and simple hanger upon the market and fills a long felt need in respect to hangers and does away with extra help in stores and factories, now being used to pick up hangers, as they will not fall off the rod after once being placed thereon. That is true even when removing a garment from the hanger.
Some forms of my invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 shows a front view of one type of garment hanger. Figures 2, 3 and 4 are fragmentary views of modified forms of garment hangers.
Reading more particularly on the drawing Figure 1 of my said invention, the hanger is designated lil, the hanger bar is II, the hook portion is I 2. Said hook portion consists of straight stem portion I3 and containing locking loop I4 and hook section I5 and end portion I6. Figure l also shows the hook, hooked onto the clothes bar I'I.
The object of this invention being as previously stated to prevent the hook from pulling ol the rod member I'I. That is accomplished by having the space between the'locking loop I4 and the end portion I6 smaller than the diameter of the rod I'I as heretofore indicated. In slipping the hook over rod I1 the locking loop I4 and the end portion I6 have to flex, as indicated in dash and dotted lines in Figure 1, so as to snap over rod I'I and therefore offer enough resistance to prevent the hook from pulling off the rack bar I 'I. l
Figure 2 is a modication showing a semiloop I8 instead of lock loop I4.
Figure 3 shows a type of hanger of the cheaper grade made out of a single piece of wire. The stem portion is twisted as seen at I9. One of the Wires is twisted to form a lock loop 29. The both wires are shaped to form the back portion 2| and twisted to a common end portion 22.
Figure 4 is another form of my invention made out of a single Apiece of wire the difference is that the wires are clipped as shown at 23 and one end used to form a flexible loop 24 to snap over rod Il. The action of all three modications are similar to the action described in Figure l.
'While I have illustrated my invention in diiferent ways and using diiferent materials and means, still I do not intend to limit myself to those particular means, designs, methods, or materials, as it is apparent that other means, designs, methods and materials may be employed in obtaining the same results within the scope of any claim without departing from the scope or spirit of my invention.
I claim:
A garment hanger hook, as herein described, for use in connection with a. supporting rod of known diameter consisting of a straight portion adapted to be connected to a hanger, and having 'therein a complete inner circular loop merging into a hook shaped section extending about said inner loop and in substantially the same plane thereof, the section forming said hook being open at its extremity opposite the completed inner circular loop and the distance between the inner circular loop and the extremity of the hook being slightly less than the diameter of the supporting rod, whereby when said open hook portion is forced open by said rod a direct spring action between the open end of said hook and the inner circular coil forming said complete inner circular loop results to prevent the hook from becoming accidently disengaged from the rod.
PETER M. STEENLAND.
