P. FRIEDMAN GARMENT HANGER Filed March 29, 1946 ATTORNEY Patented `une 29;, 1948 y' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE l, l l 2,444,3`45j i GARMENT HANGER. V Philip Friedman, New York, N. Y., Application March 29,1946, serial-Ne. esaeov hanger of metal combinedwith a cover ofcardboard or other sheet material. Y The structure disclosed herein is an improverment upon the device of my Patent No. 2,054,654
covering a garment hanger granted to me September 15, 1936.
The device of said patent comprises a wire frame of described shape with a cover mounted thereon but attached loosely to the frame, which is allowed considerable relative movement within the cover. This mode of connecting the parts often results in deformation and damage to the wire frame and cover when handled, and I have found that such a hanger is apt to wear out in a comparatively short period of time. An object of the present invention is to provide a hanger in which the cover and frame are firmly secured to one another to make a much better and more durable article.
The nature and advantages of the invention are set forth in the accompanying specification, taken with the drawings, wherein,
Figure 1 is a front view showing how the parts of my improved hanger are assembled;
Figure 2 is a front view of the hanger complete;
Figure 3 is a front view of a modication; and
Figure 4 shows a further modification.
In Figures 1 and 2 the numeral I indicates a frame of metal having a hook 2 at the top. This frame is of conventional triangular form with a 'bottom or cross bar 3 connected to the hook I by inclined arms or sides 4; the whole being made of a piece of wire or metal rod bent in the usual way to show the parts mentioned, and with the ends twisted together to make the shank of the hook 2. The cover 5 has an aperture 6 in the middle near its upper edge to enable the hook 2 and its shank to be passed through it.
The wire frame I has the junction of the arms or sides 4 with the cross bar or bottom 3 so bent as to provide narrow downward projecting loops 'l which are received in apertures 8 in the cover 5. The wire frame is somewhat exible and elastic and when the hook 2 has been passed through the opening 6 the ends 1 can be turned or bent enough to enter the holes 3. When the frame I is nally in position with respect to the cover, the engagement is quite snug and tight and very little movement or play of the frame in the cover is permitted.
The cover has a long transverse flap 9 which is cut free along its top and can be turned down over the bar 3. Along its upper edges, which have approximately the slope of the arms 4 `the cover is scored to provide additional aps l0 to -be similarly turned down overthe arms 4. The
aps I0 can be fastened down with adhesive or other means, or left unattached after bending over, as desired. The garment to be suspended of course makes direct contact with the cover, which is adapted to prevent slipping.
Figure 3 shows a hanger intended more especially for womens gowns and dresses. The metal frame has the same shape las before but the cover, with the opening 6 for the hook 2 and openings 'I for the pointed ends 8 has upper corners Il at each end to suspend the gown or dress to better advantage. At the middle near the lower edge the cover is cut to provide a small pointed flap or tab I2 which is lifted to receive the bar 3 under it and clip the middle of the lower part of the cover to the frame I. This modification also ensures a tight nt of the cover 5a on the frame I.
Preferably the looped ends 8 are bent so as to Y be inclined a little at an acute angle to the bar 3. Then they act as hooks in the holes 'I and the `frame I is rmly bound to the cover at both top and bottom.
The top of the cover 5a in Figure 3 can be cut from the edge inward at both sides of the hook, as indicated at I3. Then the top edges of the cover 5a can be folded over along the broken lines I 4, which can be score lines, the same as the flaps ID in Figure 2 upon the sides 4 of the frame.
Figure 4 shows a hanger with a wire frame having no bottom bar such as appears at 3 in the other views. This hanger is made with a cover 5 in all respects like the cover described above except lthat the holes 8 are not so close to the ends. The sides 4 of the frame diverging from the hook 2 are bent downward and towards each other to make rounded ends I5 and then downward and away from each other to form hooks 1a. These hooks thus exten-d towards each other and enter the holes 8 .after the hook 2 is inserted into the top hole 6; and 4the frame is set to make the hooks 'la press outward in the holes 8. The cover and frame are again tightly secured together and the wire for the bottom bar 3 is saved in production.
I have thus provided a novel and superior design of garment hanger, 'and while I have described two embodiments at length, I do not wish :to be limited to the details thereof, 4but reserve the right to make any changes which come withinA the scope and spirit of this invention.
Having described my invention, what I claim 1. A garment hanger comprising a triangular metal frame having sides and bottom and a hook at the top and pointed projecting ends at the corners between sides and bottom, and a cover with an opening through which the hook projects, apertures to receive said ends, and a flap at the center overlying the bottom of the frame, the cover alsegliavingitsinpper edges folded down: over said sides'.
2. A garment hanger comprising a triangular metal frame having sides and bottom and a hook at the top and projecting ends at the cornerlsfbe tween sides and bottom, and a cover with an opening through which the hook projects and' apertures to receive said ends, and a,flapat thel center `overlying the bottom of the frame, the cover also having its upper edges folded down over said sides, said projecting ends having the form of narrow lbent loops connectingiadjacent 2O portions of thepsidesandrbottom.
3'. A.v garment hanger:fcomprising:- al; bentmetal frame with slopingsides and ai hook-at the top, the sides' l'iavingv projectingiendswand acover of relatively rigid` material from which ythe `hook projects, said cover having apertures adjacent its extremities to receive said ends, and a ap cut therefrom adjacent the lower edge between said extremities.
4. A garment hanger comprising a triangular frame with sloping sides, a crossbar between the lower ends of said sides, land a hook at the top, and a cover of relatively rigid sheet material from which the hook projects, said cover having a flap cut-therefrom adjacenttheioweredge and overlapping said crossbar, the frame having a projecting loop remote from said hooksaid cover having an opening in kwhich said loop is inserted.
