Application November 28, 1945, Serial No. 631,248
(Cl. 22S-95) 1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to garment hangers and while it is designed primarily for use in supporting trousers, it is to be understood that it can also be employed for supporting womens skirts.
It is an object of the invention to provide a hanger of simple and eiiicient construction which is so designed as to engage the Ibelt loops at the front or other portion of the garment and to engage the binding at the waist at a point opposite to the engaged loops so that the garment thus will be held supported with the waist portion uppermost and with the leg or lower portion hanging freely where it will not be creased as where the garment is folded over a portion of a hanger.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may -be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
In the accompanying drawing, which is a perspective view of the hanger in engagement with a garment, the preferred form of the inventionV has been shown.
In said drawing, a hook has been indicated at I and arms 2 and 3 diverge from this hook. Arm 3 has a terminal eye 4 extending outwardly therefrom while arm 2 has its terminal portion forked as at 5 and provided with outwardly extending ngers 6.
In practice, when it is desired to support, for example, a pair of trousers, the fingers 6 are inserted into the belt loops L located adjacent to the front of the garment. Arms 2 and 3 are then pressed toward each other so as to place the hanger under tension and the eye 4 is inserted into the garment where it will engage beneath the binding B formed at the waist portion of the garment. When the hanger is released, the arms 2 and 3 will spring apart as far as permitted by the garment and the garment can then be suspended with the waist .portion uppermost, as will be apparent.
Obviously, the hanger could be used in a similar manner for the purpose of supporting a skirt.
The materials of which the hanger isV made can vary according to the taste of the manufacturer, but it is essential that a certain amount of resiliency be present in the arms 2 and 3 in order that the engaged garment may `be properly held as explained.
What is claimed is:
A garment hanger including a hook support, opposed resilient arms diverging therefrom, said arms being extended from the hook support downwardly and outwardly to points adjacent their free ends, and being bent downwardly from said points to their ends so as to provide end portions in substantially Vertical and parallel planes, whereby to permit movement of the free ends of the end portions in arcuate paths deviating only slightly from the horizontal, one of said end portions being formed as a fork, garment-engaging fingers on the ends of the fork, extended in direction away from the hook support, and substantially at a right angle to the fork, said fingers being insertable in separate loops at the front of a garment to be supported respectively positioned above the front creases of said garment, the other end portion being bent at its end into a garmentengaging eye, said eye being extended in a direction away from the hook support and substantially at a right angle to said latter end portion, and being engageable beneath the binding at the back of the garment to be supported.
