GARMENT HANGER Filed April 6, I945- may.
Patented Dec. 24, 1946 GARMENT HANGER Edward Percy Elston, Bradmore, Wolverhampton, England Application April 6, 1945, Serial No. 586,958 In Great Britain October 21, 1944 3 Claims. 1
This invention comprises improvements connected with garment and like hangers of the folding type comprising two pivoted arms which are connected together with a pivoted strut member.
The object of the present invention is to provide a hanger which is adapted to be folded in a very compact manner, whilst at the same time the risk of distorting the hanger when opening same is obviated, owin to the means for locating the strut connection in the connecting member for the pivoted arms, when the hanger is closed.
Referring to the drawing Figure 1 is an elevation of a hanger according to this invention, in its extended position.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the hanger shown in Figure 1, in its folded position.
Figure 3 is a sectional end view, taken on the line 33, in Figure 1, and
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the llne 44 in Figure 1.
In carrying the present invention into practice as shown upon the accompanying drawing, the garment hanger comprises two pivoted arms 5, 6 which at their upper ends are pivotally mounted in a sheet metal supporting member which. is folded so as to form at its upper part a tubular formation 8 in which is rotatably mounted a tubular part 9, carrying the suspension hook 18, this hook being rotatably mounted in the tubular art 9. p The tubular part 9 is frictionally held in the tubular formation 8, so that the hook Ii! W111 be normally retained in the positions as shown in the drawing.
The sheet metal supporting member under the part of tubular formation 8 is closed to form the part I! and is then opened out to form an inverted channel part i2 in which is pivotally mounted the two upper ends of the pivoted arms 5, 6 of the hanger.
In the part 8 of the sheet metal supporting member is formed a radial slot l3 along which can pass the straight part M of the suspension hook it, when it is folded down for packing as shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawing.
The two ends of the inverted channel part H of the sheet metal supporting member are flared at 15, so as to form a lead, for the member it which comprises a sheet metal tubular part of rectangular formation, in which are pivotally mounted the one end of the parts ll, 18 forming the strut, which connects the lower ends of the pivoted arms 5, 6 together.
The beforementioned lead E5, in the sheet metal supporting member is adapted for use when the garment hanger is folded as shown in Figures 2 and 3', as when the hanger is being folded, the rectangular tubular part which connects the two parts ll, l8 of the pivoted strut together, will be led into the inverted channel part 12 of the supporting member and thus prevent the strut parts l7, I8 being forced out sideways and straining the pivots Recesses 19, 2B are provided in the pivoted arms 5, 6 which may be used for the positioning of shoulder straps or the like of ladies garment on the hanger, whilst projections 2!, 22 are formed in the strut members I1, I 8 which are adapted for use, for instance, for the suspension of ladies skirts by the loops of same.
I claim:
1. A garment or like hanger, comprising in combination a supporting member which is formed with a tubular part therein, a member rotatably mounted in the tubular part of the supporting member which is frictionally gripped by the supporting member, a suspension hook mounted in the rotatable member mounted in the supporting member and a pair of arms rotatably mounted on pivots carried by the supporting member.
2. A garment or like hanger, comprising in combination a supporting member which is formed with a tubular part therein, a member rotatably mounted in the tubular part of the supporting member which is frictionally gripped by the tubular part, a suspension hook mounted in the rotatable member mounted in the supporting member, a flanged extension to the supporting member, a pair of arms rotatably mounted on pivots carried by the supporting member and two members pivoted together at their adjacent ends and at their opposite ends to the arms pivoted in the suspension member to form a strut between the two pivotally mounted arms, the centre pivoted part of the strut being adapted to enter the flared extension of the supporting member when the hanger is folded for the purpose of givin rigidity to the strut parts.
3. A garment or like hanger, comprising in combination a supporting member folded from sheet metal with a channeled part therein, a pair of arms rotatably mounted on pivots carried in the channeled part of the supporting member, a tubular part formed in said supporting member, a member rotatably mounted in said tubular part of the supporting member and frictionally held therein, a suspension hook rotatably mounted in the rotatable member, a flared entrance to the channeled part of the supporting member, and a strut member pivoted at its centre and at its ends pivotally connected to the rotatably mounted arms, so that on the arms being folded, the centre pivoted part of the strut member will enter the flared part of the channel of the supporting member for the purpose of giving rigidity to the strut parts when the hanger is folded.
