2 Claims.
This invention relates to garment hangers.
An object of this invention is to provide a combined coat and pants hanger which is so constructed that the pants supported on the hanger will not slip ofl therefrom.
Another object of this invention is to provide a garment hanger of this type in which the pants hanger includes a stationary bar and a springpressed pressure bar which is adapted to tightly hold the pants so that they will not slip from the hanger.
A further object of this invention is to provide a garment hanger of this type in which the pants hanger may be latched or locked in open position so as to facilitate the placement of the pants thereon.
With the foregoing objects and others which may hereinafter appear, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be more specifically referred to and illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein is shown an embodiment of this invention, but it is to be understood that changes, modifications and variations may be resorted to which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a detail side elevation partly broken away and in section of a garment hanger constructed according to an embodiment of this invention, and
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2--2 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral I designates generally a coat hanger which is formed of a single elongated bar having a pair of downwardly and outwardly divergent arms I I and I2. A supporting hook I3 is secured to the upper or convergent ends of the arms II and I2 and is adapted to be engaged with a suitable support.
A lower horizontally disposed straight bar I4 is positioned below the coat hanger I0 and forms one jaw of a pants supporting or clamping member, generally designated as I5. The lower bar I4 is fixedly secured in downwardly spaced relation to the outer divergent ends of the arms II and I2 by means of a pair of dowels It secured at their lower ends to the lower bar I4 and secured at their upper ends to the outer divergent ends of the arms II and I2,
A movable clamping bar I! which is formed with openings I8 adjacent the opposite ends thereof is slidable on the dowels I6 and is adapted to clamp the pants P onto the fixed or lower bar I4. The movable clamping bar I1 is urged downwardly to clamping position by means of springs I9 which engage about the dowels I6 and are interposed between the upper side of the bar I1 and the outer lower ends of the arms II and I2. The bar I? at the central portion thereof is formed with an enlargement or boss 20 having a finger opening 2| therein so that the bar I! may be readily raised to the dotted line position which is the inoperative position of the bar, and in which latter position the space between the bar I! and the bar I I will be enlarged to permit insertion of the pants therebetween.
The'mova-ble clamping bar I! is adapted to be held in an upper inoperative position by means of a hook 22 which is pivotally mounted on a screw or bolt 23 carried by the coat hanger II] in the central portion thereof. The hook 22 is adapted to engage an eye 24 carried by the enlargement 20 above the finger opening 2| and in thereleased position of the bar II, the hook 22 will engage the eye 24, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1, so that one or both hands may be used for inserting the pants between the two bars I4 and I1. After the pants have been looped over the lower bar I4, the hook 22 may be released from the eye 24, thereby permitting the springs I9 to move the bar I'I downwardly into clamping position so as toathereby tightly clamp the pants P on the b With a construction of this kind, the coat or other garment may be removed from the arms I I and I2 without disturbing the pants P or other garment which may be mounted on the bar I4. In garment hangers which embody the use of a single pants supporting bar, the pants will frequently slide to one end or the other of this bar and form wrinkles, whereas with a combined coat and pants hanger as hereinabove described, the pants are held against endwise movement on the lower supporting bar [4 and cannot slip off from this bar, due to the clamping of the bar I! under the action of the springs I9.
This hanger may be made almost entirely out of wood with the exception of the springs I9 and the hook I3 together with the hook and eye 22 and 24, respectively, so that the hanger can be manufactured and sold at a moderately low cost. It will be understood that the hook and eye herein shown are only illustrative of a holding means for the pressure bar I1, and other suitable holding devices may be used.
What I claim is:
1. A garment hanger comprising an elongated member, a supporting hook carried by said member, a horizontal bar disposed below said member, means supporting said bar from said member, a
pressure bar slidably engaging said supporting means, springs about said supporting means constantly urging said pressure bar toward said first bar, means carried by said pressure bar whereby the latter may be raised to released position, and correlated means carried by said member and said pressure bar whereby the latter may be locked in released position.
2. A coat hanger formed of a single elongated bar having a pair of downwardly and outwardly divergent arms, a supporting hook secured to the upper ends of the arms adapted to be engaged with a suitable support, a lower horizontally disposed straight bar positioned below the coat hanger forming one jaw of a. pants supporting member, said lower bar being fixed secured in down-- wardly spaced relation to the outer divergent ends of the arms by means of a pair of dowels secured at their lower ends to the lower bar, and secured at their upper ends to the outer convergent ends of said arms, a movable clamping bar formed with openings adjacent the opposite ends thereof, slidable on the dowels and adapted to clamp the pants onto the fixed lower bar, springs adapted to urge said movable clamping bar downwardly to clamping position, said springs adapted to engage about said dowels and being interposed between the upper side of the movable bar, and the outer lower ends of the outwardly divergent arms, an enlargement at the central portion of said movable bar, and a finger opening therein.
