Application August 28, 1943, Serial No. 500,341
4 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in method of making garment hangers.
The main objects 'of this invention are:
First, to provide a garment hanger which may be formed of multi-ply paperboard which may be produced very economically and at the same time is strong and rigid and is provided with desirable garment supporting surfaces.
Second, to provide a method of making garment hangers by means of which the garment hangers may be very economically produced.
Objects relating to details and economies of the invention will appear from the description to follow. The invention is defined in the claims.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side view of a garment hanger embodying the features of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a view partially conventionalized, illustrating one of the steps in the manufacture of my hanger.
Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 1 showing details of the strut.
Fig.4 is an enlarged section on line 4--4 of Fig. 1 showing details of the yoke arms.
Fig. 5 is a plan View of a blank from which the yoke and hanger are formed.
Fig. 6 is an illustration with parts shown conventionally, illustrating one of the steps of manufacture.
Fig. 7 is a side view of a modified form or embodiment of my invention in which the hook is formed integrally with the yoke and strut parts.
Fig. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary section on line 8-8 of Fig. '7. I
Referring to the drawing, the hanger of my invention comprises a yoke element or portion I having downwardly diverging arms 2 connected at their lower ends by a strut 3. The yoke is provided with a hole li and a notch 5 to receive the shank 6 of the hook l, the shank being passed through the hole l and its ends 8 being engaged in the notch 5. This forms an effective anchoring means for the hook and maintains it in its upright position.
The yoke and strut portions are formed of multi-ply fibrous stock preferably comprising at least three plies, the center or core ply 9 and the outer or side plies I0. These plies are adhesively secured together and desirably the outer plies are of a better or higher grade of stock than the center or core ply.
In Fig. 2, I illustrate the method of forming the strut, the center ply being fed from a roll Il 2 between a pair of adhesive applying rollers I2 Which apply adhesive to both sides. The outer plies ID are then fed from rolls I3 against the sides of the ply having the adhesive previously applied thereto and between the pressure rollers I4.
From this paper stock and prior to the setting of the adhesive I form a blank designated generally by the numeral I5 in Fig. 5. This blank is formed with flap-like extensions I6 on the upper edges of the yoke arms, these extensions extending a substantial portion of the length of the arms. A similar nap-like extension I'I is formed on the upper edge of the strut. A
The extensions It are folded downwardly and conformed to provide the rounded garment supporting surfaces i8 and are brought against the sides of the arms and adhesively secured thereto at i9, preferably throughout the length of these extensions. This serves the double purpose of providing a rounded garment supporting surface of substantial width and also reinforcing means for the hanger permitting the use of comparatively light orthin stock.
The portions le lying against the sides of the arms are preferably adhesively secured thereto as shown at 20. This forming is done prior to the setting of the adhesive of the multi-ply stock which results in a very strong and not easily distorted structure. Similarly, the extension Il of the strut is conformed to provide the rounded edge 2l and is lapped against the side of the strut and secured thereto by the adhesive 22.
In Fig. 6, I illustrate folder and die members 23 and 24, respectively, adapted to conform and fold the extensions I6 and Il simultaneously.
In the embodiment of my invention shown in Fig. 7, the hook 25 is formed integrally with the yoke, being stamped out of the portion of the stock between the yoke and the strut and in this embodiment a portion of the extension 26 is so formed that it in effect results in the strut having two extensions instead of a continuous extension. This has the objection of somewhat weakening the strut but has the advantage of least one of the surfaces of a plurality of plies A of paper stock, superimposing the plies wit-n the adhesive therebetween, stamping from such multi-ply material prior to the setting of the adhesive a blank comprising an integral yoke portion having downwardly diverging arm portions and a strut portion integrally connected with the lower ends of the arm portions, the upper edges of the arm portions having flap-like portions of substantial length extending therefrom, the upper edge of the strut 'portion having a nap-like portion extending therefrom, and conforming and folding the said ap portions of said arms and strut to provide relatively wide curved garment supporting edges and portions extending downwardly against the sides of the arms and strut from which they project prior to the setting of said adhesive between said plies to facilitate the conforming and folding of said flap portions, and retaining Asaid ap portions as thus conformed and folded until said adhesive sets to facilitate permanent retention of the flap portions in the conformed and folded position, the central portion of the yoke being of substantially greater width than the arms of the yoke, and aiiixin'g a hook to said widened central portion,
2. The method of making garment hangers comprising the steps lof applying adhesive to at least one of the surfaces of a plurality of plies of paper stock, superimposing the plies with the adhesive therebetween, stamping from sucn multi-ply material prior to the setting of the adhesive a blankcomprisin'g an integral yoke portion having downwardly diverging arm portions and a strut portion integrally connected with the lower ends of the arm portions, the upper edges of the arm portions having flap-like portions of substantial length extending therefrom, the upper edge of the strut portion having a flap-like portion extending therefrom, and conforming and folding the said flap portions of said arms and strut to provide relatively wide curved garment supporting edges and portions extending downwardly against the sides of the arms and strut from which they project prior to the setting of the adhesive between said plies to facilitate said conforming and folding of the ap portions, and retaining said ilap portions as thus conformed and folded until said adhesive sets to facilitate permanent retention of the flap portions in the conformed and folded position, the portions thereof contacting the sides of the arms of the yoke being adhered thereto.
3. The method of making garment hangers comprising'y the steps of applying adhesive to at least one of the surfaces of a plurality of plies ofY paper stock, superimposing the plies with the adhesive therebetween, stamping from such multi-ply material prior to the setting of the adhesive a blank comprising an integral yoke portion having downwardly diverging arm portions and a strut portion integrally connected with the' lower ends of the arm portions, the upper edges of the arm portion having flap-like portions of substantial length extending therefrom, the upper edge of the strut portion having a flap-like portion extending therefrom, and conforming and folding the said flap portions of said arms and strut to provide relatively wide curved garment supporting edges and portions extending downwardly against the sides of the arms and strut from which they project prior to the setting of the adhesive between said plies to facilitate said conforming and folding of the flap por tions, 'and retaining said flap portions as thus conformed and folded until said adhesive sets to facilitate permanent retention of the flap portions in the conformed and folded position.
4. The method of making garment hangers comprising thesteps of applying adhesive to at least one of the surfaces of a plurality of plies of paper stock, superimposing the plies with the adhesive therebetween, stamping 'from such multi-ply material prior to the setting of the adhesive a blank comprising an integral yoke portion having downwardly diverging arm portions, and folding substantial intermediate portions of the upper edges of said arm .portions downwardly against the sides of the arm portions prior to t ie setting of the adhesive between said plies, andretaining the said'folded edges in folded position'until the adhesive between said plies has set thereby providing reinforced curved garment supporting edges for the hanger arms.
