Patented Dec. 23, 1947 CLOTHES CLOSET HANGER Charles D. Higby, Sr., Arkansas City, Kans., assignor of one-half to Harry V. Howard, Arkansas City, Kans.
Application February 13, 1946, Serial No. 647,343
2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in clothes closet hangers, and more particularly to a device adapted to be positioned in a closet to support a considerable number of clothes hangers for supporting suits and other clothing.
An object oi the invention is to provide an improved clothes closet hanger or rack adapted to be aiiixed to a closet wall or door, to provide a braced rack or rail upon which a plurality of clothes hangers may be supported in a minimum of space.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved closet-type clothes hanger or rack for positioning and securing the same on a closet wall or door, and which will be so constructed that it may be readily extended to its operative position when desired or lowered to its inoperative position when there is no present use for the hanger or rack.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a closet-type clothes hanger or rack which will be highly eiiicient in use, and relatively inexpensive to manufacture and produce.
Other objects will appear as the description proceeds.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved closet clothes hanger, and
Figure 2 is a partial sectional view taken on the line 2-'2 of Figure 1.
Like characters of reference are used throughout the following specification and the accompanying drawings to designate corresponding parts.
In carrying out the invention, there is provided a one-piece clothes hanger supporting rack or rail having a straight base portion I and integral opposite extending side portions 2 and 3, which are connected by the arcuate or loop portion 4.
The spaced supporting or attaching clips 5 and 6 are adapted to receive the screws 1, whichA will extend into the wall studding 8 in a closet, or into a door, and will be formed with the centrally disposed transversely extending arcuate bearing portions 9 which are adapted to ilt over the base portion I of the rack or rail, to serve as hinge means therefor.
A metal backing strip I is bent at II at its upper end to surround the base portion I of the rack or rail to depend therefrom and to swivel thereon. The lower end of the strip I0 is bent or curled as at I2, and is apertured at I3 to receive the free end of the bracing rod I4 which is formed at its opposite end with the eye I which is positioned about the arcuate portion 4 of the rack or rail to permit both a rotary movement and sliding of the rod on said rail.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that the bracing rod I4 will be positioned as shown in Figure 1 when a number of clothes hangers are to be supported on the rack or rail, and when the hanger is not in use, the brace rod I4 will be disengaged from the socket or aperture I3, and the rail and rod will hang in parallel relation to the closet wall or door, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 2 of the drawings.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention thereto, as many minor changes in detail of construction may be resorted to without departure from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus described my invention what 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A clothes closet hanger comprising a clothes hanger supporting loop, means for securing and hinging said loop to a wall, a backing strip supported by said being curled and apertured to form a locking socket, a pivoted bracing rod secured to said loop by an eye on its end portion, and the free end of said rod being received within the locking socket in the end of said backing strip for holding said hanger in extended or operative position.
2. A clothes closet hanger comprising a clothes hanger supporting loop, means for securing and hinging said loop to a wall, a backing strip supported by said loop, the lower end of said strip being curled and apertured to form a locking socket, a bracing rod secured to said loop by an eye formed on its end portion, and the free end of said rod being received within the locking socket in the end of said backing strip.
