GARMENT HANGER Filed March 1, 1944 Qag INVENTOR. [owls Osfiow Patented June 19, 1945 UNETED STATES P'ATENT ()FFICE GARMENT HANGER Louis OskoW, New York, N. Y. 7 Application March 1, 1944, Serial No. 524,507 I 4 Claims. (Cl. 223-90) This invention relates to garment hangers and has. for-its primary object the provision of a hanger capable of a number of uses, and particularly for the simultaneous support of a number of different garments or articles of wearing apparel.
' One of the objects of the invention is to provide a hanger which can be speedily and econom ically manufactured; which can be used for holding a number of different types of garments; which has its parts foldable to thereby enable the device, when not in use, to be compactly stored or carried, and which is of such a construction as to stand hard, continuous use,
An objection found in many garment hangers is-the tendency. to allow the garments placed on them to shift and become mussed and wrinkled, or else slip from the hanger and fall to the floor. In the design of the present hanger, consideration has been given to the various types of garmerits usually placed on a hanger, and provision has been made for the accommodation of such garments. For example, the hanger of this invention satisfactorily accommodates mens suits,
In the accompanying drawing, wherein an illustrative embodiment of the invention is disclosed, Fig. l is a front elevation of a garment hanger, constructed in accordance with the in- 'vention; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of one of the spring clips, with a part of the supporting rod being shown in section; Fig. 3 is a side view of the clip, with one of the spring fingers and the supporting rod being shown in section; Fig. 4 is a face view of the sleeve which couples the wire frame, the suspension hook and the necktie hanger together, andFig. 5 is a sectional view through the sleeve and the parts which it encloses.
The frame I of the hanger consists of a single piece of heavy wire shaped to conform to the shoulder portion of a coat, and is provided with the downwardly bent end portions la which are inturned at 2, said inturned terminals extending into recesses 3 formed in the opposite ends of a cylindrical rod or bar 4, which is thus confined between the ends 2 of the wire frame I. The rod or bar 4 can be employed to hold trousers or other garment draped over it in the known manner.
At spaced points, the frame I is bent downwardly as indicated at 5, to form recesses 6 so situated and shaped as to receive the shoulder straps of a dress, slip or other garment suspended from the hanger, these recesses so holding the garment by the shoulder straps that the garment cannot slip from the hanger.
' At its topmost point, the frame I is provided with a suspension hook I by means of which the hanger may be suspended from a suitable support. The hook I is formed at its lower end with a loop or eye 8, confined within a sleeve 9 which also encloses the wire of the frame I. Also confined within the sleeve 9 is a loop M on a hanger member I0 that is adapted to be used for holding neckties, stockings, or other articles of wearing apparel. The hanger member, hereinreferred to as the necktie hanger but usable for manyadditional purposes, has two vertical. and parallel legs I I from each of which extends a horizontal piece I2 terminating in a coiled loop I3. In use, the neckties or other articles are suspended on the parts I2 of this member.
While the sleeve 9 confines the loops 8 and I4 on the suspension hook and necktie hanger respectively, it permits pivotal movement of these elements relative to the frame I. Thus, when the hanger is not in use or is to be packed for shipment or travel, the hook I may be folded down to a position within the frame I, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The pivotal attachment of the necktie hanger I0 permits it to be swung forwardly to facilitate the placement of a necktie or other article on it.
Mounted onthe rod or bar 4 is a pair of adjustable spring clips I5 employed for supporting a pair of trousers, a skirt or other garment. Each of these clips consists of an elongated section or strip of springmetal doubled upon itself to form a loop I6 extending around the rod 4 and normally freely slidable thereon. Extending integrally from the loop I6 are the two spring fingers I! which normally tend to spring apart, due to the springiness of the metal, as shown in Fig. 3. The lower portion of each finger is arched or curved as shown at I8, to not only stiffen the fingers but to provide garment-inserting portions. Each finger is also materially stiffened by the provision of a longitudinally extending pressed-out rib I9. -Extending around the fingers I! is a manually movable ring 20.
The clip is shown in its inoperative position in Figs. 2 and 3 wherein it will be observed that the fingers I1 are spread apart so that the top portion of a garment, such as a skirt, or the cuff the rod 4 so that the two clips may thus be moved to any selected spaced relationship. When the ring 20 is manually moved downwardly to cause the fingers i! to be sprung into gripping position, these fingers, on such flexing movement,
tend to constrict the loop I6 around the rod 4 so that the clip is not only caused to clamp the garment but is simultaneously caused to grip the rod. and maintain its position thereon.
In use, when the clips l5 are in engagement with a garment, these clips depend from the rod 4 as shown in Fig. 1. However, when the garment hanger is to be packed for shipment or travel, the clips can then be shifted along the rod in a direction toward the center of the hanger and then swung upwardly into the space between the frame I and the rod 4, as shown in the dot-and-dash lines in Fig. l, andthis, coupled with the folding of the suspension hook I- as previously described, greatly reduces the overall size of the hanger.
By the arrangement described, a hanger is provided which will hold a suit, an overcoat, dresses, neckties, stockings and other small articles. Skirts and trousers may be held by the clips IE or draped over the bar 4 and a great number of other uses may be had.
Having described one embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that the same is not to be restricted thereto, but is broad enough to cover all structures coming within the scope of the annexed claims.
What I claim is:
l. A garment hanger having a yoke-like frame,
a necktie support within the frame, a rod supported by the frame, a suspension hook extending upwardly from the frame, and a sleeve extending around parts of the frame, suspension hook and necktie support whereby the hook and necktie support are pivotal in regard to the frame.
2. In a garment hanger, a yoke-shaped wire frame bent at-spaced points to form shoulderstrap recesses, the frame having inturned ends, a rod held between said ends, clips on the rod, said clips being normally dependent from the rod but being capable of swinging movement to enable them to be swung to positions between the frame and the rod, a pivotal suspension hook and a pivotal necktie hanger, both the hook, and the necktie hanger'being attached to the frame at the topmost point of the frame, and means for attaching said hook and necktie hanger to the frame whereby said hook and necktie hanger may be positioned within the frame.
3. In a garment hanger, a wire frame, a suspension hook pivotally connected to the frame, a necktie hanger connected to the frame, and a sleeve for coupling the hook and necktie hanger to the frame and allowing pivotal movement of the hook and necktie hanger with respect to the frame.
4. In a garment hanger, a wire frame, a suspension hook having a loop at its lower end, a necktie hanger having a loop at its upper end, the necktie hanger being normally disposed within the wire frame, the suspension hook being normally extended above the top of the wire frame, and a sleeve extending around the frame and through the loops in the hook and necktie hanger whereby said sleeve couples the frame, the hook and the necktie hanger together and permits pivotal movement of the hook and necktie hanger in respect to the frame.
