COAT HANGER Filed July 6, 1946 1o I 12 I5 I H /6 INVENTOR.
MaXWel/ h alfers Patented May 6, 1947 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
The object of this invention is to make a collapsible coat hanger, one that can be folded up into a very small package and yet can be extended so as to conveniently and effectively support a coat in the usual manner.
Another object of the invention is to make the coat hanger of few parts that are of light weight.
These and other objects of the invention will be fully illustrated in the drawings, described in the specification and pointed out in the claims at the end thereof.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the coat hanger extended.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the coat hanger collapsed.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section taken through one of the sleeves in Figure 1 and showing how the sections are connected.
Figure 4 is a section taken on the line 41:, 4a: of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a transverse section on the line 5m, 5w of Figure 3.
In the drawings like reference numerals indicate like parts.
In the drawings reference numeral I indicates the rigid bar of the coat hanger and 2 and 3 indicates the sections that are connected to the ends of the bar by the links 4 and 5.
The sections 2 and 3 are connected to chains 6 and I at one end thereof, the other ends of the chain being connected to the eye 8 of the hook 9. The rigid bar I is made up of the three sections ID, II and I2 which are connected by links I3 and I l. Both ends of the three intermediate and one end of the two outer sections are slotted to receive the links by which they are hinged together.
The sections l9, II and I2 are also provided with two sliding sleeves l5 and I6. When the sections It] and II are in line with each other the link l3 can be covered by the sleeve l5 and when the sections l I and [2 are in line with each other, the link It can be covered by the sleeve IS. The sleeves are long enough to make a firm engagement over the link with the ends of the two adjacent sections; so as to hold them firmly in line with each other, and when the sections l8, l and I2 are extended and placed in line with each other and the joints between them are covered by the sleeves l5 and IS the sections are held in line with each other substantially the same as a rigid bar, and when the sleeve are placed together on the section I I, then the sections I0, I I and [2 can be folded up in parallel relation to each other as shown in Figure 2.
The link connection between the sections and the relation of the sleeve thereto is shown in section in Figures 3, 4 and 5.
It will also be understood that because the sections 2 and 3 are held up by chains that these sections can be placed parallel to the rigid bar I and the chain can be wrapped around the bar I so that the hanger can be collapsed to a package as long as the bar I or by moving the sleeves I5 and It the sections of the hanger can be collapsed to the form shown in Figure 2 in which all five sections stand parallel to each other.
As the parts are of light weight the hanger can easily be carried in ordinary baggage.
The sleeves l5 and I6 are each about two inches long and the sections 2, 3, ll], l l and I2 are about five inches long.
It will also be understood that when the hanger is extended and suspended it will be substantially in the form of a triangle.
I claim:
1. A coat hanger comprising a bar made up of three short sections held together by links pivoted thereon, sleeves on said sections, each sleeve being capable of covering the ends of two sections and the link connecting them for the purpose of holding the sections in line with each other, a section at each end of the bar and a link for connecting the outer end of each section to the outer end of the bar, chains connected to the inner ends of said sections, a hook to which the inner ends of two chains are connected, by which hook the hanger is suspended.
2. A coat hanger comprising five sections held together by four links each link being pivotally connected to two of said sections, two sleeves on said sections, each sleeve being capable of covering one of said links and a portion of the two sections adjacent thereto, said sleeves being capable of holding three of said sections in substantially a straight line, the two end sections each having a chain attached thereto, a hook to which chains are attached, the chains and the sections and links forming a triangular assembly.
3. A coat hanger comprising five sections held together by four links each link being pivotally connected to two of said sections, two sleeves on said sections, each sleev being capable of covering one of said links and a portion of the two sections adjacent thereto, said sleeves being capable of holding three of said sections in sub- I stantially a straight line, the two end sections each having a chain attached thereto, a hook to which chains are attached, th chains and the sections and links forming a triangular assembly, the five sections being capable of being folded up into a substantially rectangular package in which the sections are placed parallel to each other.
