2 Claims.
This invention relates to a coat hanger and more particularly to an improved hanger adapted to be supported from a rod or pole or the like.
A primary object of this invention is the provision of an improved coat hanger having means for securing the same in position on a suspending rod to preclude accidental dislodgment f the same.
An additional object of this invention is the provision of such means which are of resilient character and which maybe readily displaced when it is desired to remove the coat hanger from the supporting rod.
Still another object is the provision of such coat hanger which will be reliable and efiicient in operation, sturdy and durable in construction and relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture. 4
Other objects will in part be obvious and in part be pointed out hereinafter and shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein there is disclosed the preferred embodiment of this inventive concept.
In the drawing- Figure 1 is a side elevational View of one form of coat hanger embodying this inventive concept.
.Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary detail view of certain constructional elements.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially along the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Having reference now to the accompanying drawing there is generally indicated at I0 a coat hanger comprised of the conventional transverse bar II from which two angularly disposed portions I2 and I3 are twisted together as at I4 to secure the parts in related assembly. One of these members, I3, is extended beyond the twisted portion I4 to form a hook I5. The other portion I2 is provided with an outwardly depending stub end I6, upon which is adapted to be positioned a coil spring I1, the extremity of which is twisted as at I8 around the neck of hook formed on the extending portion of member I3 beyond the twisted portion I4. Spring I1 extends in the same general plane as the hook I to a point adjacent and juxtaposed to the extremity I9 of the hook.
Now from the foregoing it will be seen that the spring I1 comprises a resilient closure member across the opening of the hook I5, which may be readily displaced when it is desired to lift the hook from its supporting bar of the like, but which' is of sufficient strength to preclude accidental displacement of the hook from the supporting rod.
Now from the foregoing it will be seen that there is herein provided a device accomplishing all the objects of this invention and others including advantages of great practical utility and commercial importance.
As many embodiments may be made of this inventive concept, and as many modifications may be made in the embodiment hereinbefore shown and described, it is to be understood that all matter herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
We claim:
l. In a wire coat hanger of triangular contour, consisting of a single wire shaped to form a transverse garment supporting portion with converging arms meeting to provide a twisted portion to secure the ends in related assembly, one of said ends forming a stub and the other end beyond said twisted portion, being bent to form a hook with a neck, and a separate resilient member having one end supported by said stub, its extremity wound around the neck of said hook, while the other end of said resilient member freely contacts with the end point of said hook.

consisting of a single wire shaped to form a OWEN L. ONEAL. VIRDEN L. MILLER.
