COAT HANGER Filed Aug. 5, 1945 Patented Jan. 7, 1947 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE COAT HANGER Marion Dwight Fortner, Chicago, Ill.
Application August 3, 1945, Serial No. 608,711
1 Claim. (Cl. 223-92) The present invention relates to a coat hanger, made of cast, or molded, plastic material.
An object of this invention is to provide a hanger which may be made by various methods of molding and of a material not easily splintered or fractured.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved rigid coat hanger composed entirely of inexpensive non-metallic material which is attractive in appearance and can be made to conform readily to the outline of garments of. various shapes.
Another advantage of my improved hanger is in a large garment supporting area, thereby keeping the garment in better shape and freedom of the fabric from breaking.
Further objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a rear elevational view of the coat hanger showing the new and original features of my invention;
Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the coat hanger shown in'Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a top plan view thereof, and
Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view thereof;
Fig. 5 represents a cross-section of the hori-, zontal lateral shown on line 5-5 of Fi 4, between the collar and point of shoulder, showing the way the lateral is hollowed out. The thickness of the walls of the hollow lateral, or arm, varies from A" at the shoulder point to midway toward the upward turn into the collar; Va" at lower part of collar and tapering down to A" at the top of collar.
Fig. 4 shows a bar 8 running through center of horizontal lateral, which is for re-lnforcement purposes. This makes the invention lend itself to either of two methods of economical production: a, casting, of a material known as Catalin, or b, injection molding, of a plastic composition that is lighter by volume and stronger than wood; will not chip in falling, nor will it decay, and it can be made in beautiful and lasting colors; no revarnishing from time to time.
A of Figures 1 and 4 shows a convex bulge which projects out of an inch from the fiat surface of the back and extends-the length of the point where the coat collar folds.
Figures 1 and 2 show how the horizontal laterals have a domed top surfac The bottom of the convex bulge is hollowed out in order to prevent bubbling during process of molding the hanger.
The hook indicated by line 9 of Figures 1 and 2 is slightly flanged at the end which sets in the hanger thus preventing it from working loose and dropping out.
When a coat has been worn for a number of hours body moisture dampens the fabric and wrinkles form just below the back of the collar. Place the coat on a hanger having a flat-surface back, and the wrinkles deepen while the fabric is drying; and only a skilled workman can press them out. Under the same conditions, if the coat is placed on my hanger the convex bulge will automatically smooth away the wrinkles and when the fabric dries no pressing is necessary. This feature alone will save considerable trouble and expense for pressing.
B of Figures 2, 3 and 4 indicates a hook, which is inserted inside the collar to serve as a hanger for a clamp holding trousers. Thus the entire suit is together. No searching about in a crowded closet to find trousers to match coat.
At section line 5-! my coat hanger is 1%" wide, which prevents wrinkling in the shoulder of a coat between collar and point of shoulder.
The perpendicular rib in center and at back of collar, indicated at 8 of Fig. 2 is thicker than the balance of the collar, in order to better supbody, a lateral hollow arm projecting from each side of the body, an integral reinforcing rib on the under face of each arm; a hollowconvex bulge on one face of. the said central body, adapted to stretch the collar of a garment placed upon the hanger, the opposite face of the central body provided with a curved recess, an integral wedgeshaped reinforcement on the curved surface of the said curved recess; a clothes supporting hook attached to this said wedge-shaped reinforcement, and a hanger supporting means projecting from the top of the said central body.
