This invention relates to a garment, hanger and itis one object of the invention to provide a garment hanger of such formation that itmay `be used for holding mens or womens clothing, the hanger being of such formation that when coats; trousers dressesh'beltslor other apparel areapplied `to `the hanger they will bekept smooth being free from wrinkles and neat in `appearance when removed `from the hanger. ,1
Another object of the invention is to provide a hanger whereina portion for carrying trousers or a ladys skirt is of such shape that by inverting the hanger it may accommodate itself to an evening dress or other sleeveless garment.
Another object of the invention is to provide the hanger with a suspending hook adapted to be readily transferred from one position in which the hanger is adapted for holding mens coats to another position in which the hanger will be inverted and adapted to hold womens sleeveless garments.
Another object of the invention is to form the hanger that the hook may be Very easily applied to it and rmly held in its proper position after being applied, the hook being also easily removable when it is desired to invert the hanger and again apply the hook to it. Y
Another object of the invention is to provide a hanger which can be stamped from cardboard, fiber composition, or other sheet material in a single operation and thus cheaply manufactured.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 is a front view of the improved hanger, the hook being so applied to the hanger that it is adapted to hold a mans coat and trousers.
Figure 2 is a view looking from the right of Figure 1.
This improved garment hanger is preferably formed from stiff cardboard or fiber composition and has a body l formed with diagonally cut edges 2 extending from opposite sides of an extension or neck 3 at such an angle that the arms lower edges of slits 9 which extend longitudinally of the cross car and terminate in enlarged and upwardly projecting circular openings or terminals I0. The arcuate edge portions 6 of the cross bar merge into the arcuate edge ll of an extension or neck. IZfOrmedmidWay the length 'of the cross bar 'l and midway thelength of lthe cross bar there has been formed a slot I3 disposed in spaced parallel relation to the edge 8 of the cross bar and having an entrance-throat i4 midway its 1ength. This throatgleads from the upper edge of the cross bar and has arcuate side edges l5 merging into edges oi' the slot and the cross bar in order that a belt or the like may Vbe `easily moved `into the slot when applied to thenanger.l l. l ,w l
Between inner ends of theslots 9 thebody l hasan upwardly bowed lower edge 16 constituting the upper edge of a large opening I1 and merging into upper edges of the slots 9 as shown at I8. Elongatecl openings or slots I9 and 20 are formed in the extensions or necks 3 and l2 and reinforced at their inner ends by discs 2| of fabric or tough paper and in alignment with outer ends of the. slots le and 2li the extremities of the necks are formed with notches or recesses 22 and 23. The hook 24 by means of which the hanger is to lbe suspended from an overhead support is formed of resilient wire and has its shank 2'5 bent upwardly back upon itself to form a .bill 2E terminating in a rolled end 2l and of a length adapting the bill to be passed through the slot I9 or slot 20 and have its rolled end engaged in the notch 22 or notch 23. By this arrangement the hook may be easily applied to the hanger and since the rolled end of the bill is engaged in a notch the hook will be prevented from slipping out of engagement with the hanger and the hanger will be prevented from tilting out oi a horizontal position. y
When this hanger is in use thelhookis disposed as shown and a coat applied to the hanger with the arms 4 of the hanger engaging under the shoulders of the coat and the neck opening of the coat. The fact that the arms have diagonally extending upper edges causes the arms to conform to the slope of the shoulders of the coat and since the roller end of the bill of the hook engages in the notch 22 the hanger will be prevented from tilting upon the bill of the hook Yto a position in which one side of the hanger sags and` causes may be passed through the mouth I4 into the slot I3 and suspended from the hanger. When a Womans evening gown or other sleeveless dress is to be applied to the hanger, the hook 24 is removed from the opening I9 and the hanger then inverted and the hook passed through slot 20 with the rolled end of its bill engaged in the notch 23. The hanger will then be suspended from the hook with the neck I 2 and the cross bar 1 uppermost. The hanger may then be slipped into the upper portion of the garment and since the garment will rest upon the curved edges 6 of the cross bar, it will remain in its proper position upon the hanger and not distorted by slipping out of lace.
p Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
1. .A garment hanger comprising a body having a neck and arms extending from opposite sides of the neck at a downward incline, a cross bar under said body extending longitudinally thereof and having its ends integrallyunited to ends of said arms;-said cross` bar having a depending neck midway its length and at opposite sides of its neck having upwardly bowed curved lower edge portions merging into the edge of the neck and ends lof the body, Vthe upper edge of said cross bar lbeing straight and spaced from the body by an opening'having its ends terminating in horizontal slits between ends of the armsandthe crossbar, there being provided at the center of the cross bar a longitudinal slot spaced from thev upper edge of the cross bar and formed midway its length with a mouth opening through the upper edge of the cross bar, said necks being each formed with a vertical slot and a notch at the free end of the neck aligned with the slot in the neck, and a hook having a shank bent back upon itself to form a bill passed through the slot of a selected neck and terminating in a rolled end engaged in the notch of the neck to firmly and removably hold the hookA in engagement with the neck.
2. A garment hanger formed `from a blank of sheet material and having a body and a cross bar, the blank having its intermediate portion cut out to provide an opening between the body and the cross bar, said body having a neck midway its width and arms extending from opposite sides of the neck,A said cross bar also having a neck v midway its `width and a horizontal upper edge spaced from the body by the opening 0f the blank and by slits constituting extensions of the said opening, each neck being formed Iwith a vertical slot midway its width and with a notch in its outer end aligned withv its slot, and a hook for suspending the hanger from a support formed of resilient wire and having its shank bent back upon'itself to form a bill passed through the slot of a selected neck and terminating in a latch for engaging in the notch of the neck and removably holding the hook in engagement therewith.
