E. D. HANSET HANDLE HANGER PACKAGE Filed'OC't. 28, 1940 ME/\/ THE Patented Apr. 25, 1944 UNITED STATES rA-TENT OFFICE 2,347,319 HANDLE HANGER PACKAGE Eugene 1).Hanset, Portland, Oreg. Application October'28, 1940, Serial No. .363,'191
i'ci. 1-5s) 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in hangers for broom handles, and more especially to a method and means of handling and conveying the same.
The hangers are to be used in connection with machines, or apparatus, generally of the type shown and described in my United States Patent No. 2,167,452, and my co-pending application, Serial No. 322,145, filed on the 4th day of March, 1940.
In machines of the type above referred to, a multiplicity of hangers are first applied to a carrying plate or bar and are progressively fed, one at a time, into the machine for attachment to a broom handle, or the like. Heretofore, in machines of this character, the hangers were supplied to the operator of the machine in bulk form, in barrels or boxes, and it was necessary for the operator to pick the hangers from the bulk, one at a time, and apply them to the machine. This was a slow and tedious process and increased the cost of attaching the hangers to the handles.
Accordingly, therefore, it is one of the principal objects of this invention to provide a support upon which a multiplicity of individual and unattached hangers may be applied and secured so that they may be handled as a unit in shipping, and particularly in presenting them to the machine with which they are to be used. The support is of such formation that it readily receives the hangers from the machine in which the hangers are produced, and provides means whereby they may be readily removed at either end of the support, one at a time, for advancement into the machine which attaches them to the handles.
Another object of the invention is the provision of means for locking the hangers at both ends of their support.
These and other objects will appear as my invention is more fully hereinafter described in the following specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and finally pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a support having a multiplicity of hangers applied thereto, and its ends turned back on themselves for retaining the hangers on the support.
Figure 2' is a perspective view of the support itself with the engaging elements in the ends thereof in extended position to receive and to release the hangers.
Figure 3-is a modified form of means for securing the hangers at the ends of the support.
Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line 44 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a perspectiv view of a modified form of support provided with means for receiving the sharpened ends of the hangers to protect the hands of the user.
Figure 6 is a sectional end elevation taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 7 through the support only and not the carrying bar.
Figure 7 is a perspective view of a fragment of a carrying bar on a machine for attaching hangers to handles and showing the hanger support slidably embracing the carrying bar, and hangers being advanced from the support to the carrying bar.
Figure 8 is an end View of the hanger support in a relaxed position.
Figure 9 is an end view of the same hanger support embraced by the hangers and compressed or deformed thereby so that the walls of the support expand in complete contact with the interior of each hanger and cause the latter to cling to the support.
Referring now more particularly to the drawmg:
In Figure 2, reference numeral I indicates, generally, the main body of the hanger support which consists of a top wall 2 and side walls 3. The side walls are slightly reduced at their ends to provide projecting tongues 4 which may be folded rearwardly with respect to the main body I and the hangers thereon, as shown in Figure The hangers 5 are shaped as shown in Figures 6 and '7, and are automatically fed, from the machine in which they are made, on to the main body I of the support. In this feeding operation the tongues 4 at one end are allowed to remain projected, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1, while the tongues at the opposite end are folded rearwardly to hold the hangers on to the support. When the support is entirely filled, it provides a convenient means of handling a multiplicity of hangers as a unit for packing and shipping, and particularly forms a convenient means for rapidly and accurately advancing the hangers from the support to the carrying bar of a hangerattaching machine.
In Figures 3 and 4, I illustrate a modified method of utilizing the tongues as a limit stop and hanger-engaging means. In this instance the tongues 4A are bent rearwardly over and around the outside of the first three or four hangers, and then inwardly against the walls 3A,
and then rearward under the hangers that follow as they are being fed on to the support.
In the modified form of the support, illustrated in Figures 5, 6 and 7, the lower edges of the walls 3B are bent inwardly as at 6, downwardly as at I, thence outwardly as at 8, to form channels 9 to slidably embrace the pointed ends H! of the hangers to thereby protect the hands of the user.
In both forms of the invention the body member is preferably made of flexible or yieldable material such as cardboard, fibre, thin sheet metal, or the like, and its outside dimensions are slightly greater than the inside dimensions of the hangers so that the body member when loaded will expand into complete contact with the interior of each hanger, as bestshown in Figure 9, and also in Figure 6. By this arrangement each hanger is frictionally held to the hanger support.
While I have shown a particular form of em- Having thus described the invention, what I 2 claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. A support for hangers, said hangers having two downwardly and inwardly projecting leg portions, said support comprising an ,elongated body member having two side walls formed integral with a flexible top wall, said top wall when in a normal or relaxed position being of greater width than the distance between the downwardly extending legs of the hanger, whereby said side walls of the body member will bear against the said legs of the hangers when the hangers are applied to the .body member for maintaining them in position thereon.
2. A support for hangers, said hangers having two downwardly and inwardly projecting leg portions, said support comprising an elongated body member having two vertical side walls formed integral with a flexible and substantially flat top wall, said top wall when in a normal or relaxed position being of greater width than the distance between the downwardly extending legs of the hanger, whereby said side walls of the body member will bear against the said legs of the hangers when the hangers are applied to the body member for maintaining them in position thereon, and said side walls being of greater length than the top wall to form outwardly projecting flexible tongues adapted to be folded back on to the side walls.
