While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
1. A hook for garment hangers, comprising a strand of heavy stiff wire having a top hook portion extending approximately 225 degrees in circular shape from a point beginning at an open front side of the hook and continuing into a downwardly and backwardly extending stem top portion disposed at approximately 30 degrees to the vertical and tangent to said hook portion, said stem top portion continuing into a downwardly and forwardly extending stem central portion continuing into a vertically downwardly extending stem bottom portion, a flexible strip extending along and in contact with the inner faces of said hook portion and said stem top portion and being permanently attached at its front end to the bottom end of said hook portion, and means for releasably connecting the ends of said strip together for holding said strip about a hanger rod.
2. A hook for garment hangers, comprising a strand of heavy stiff wire having a top hook portion extending approximately 225 degrees in circular shape from a point beginningat an open front side of the hook and continuing into a downwardly and backwardly extending stern top portion disposed at approximately 30 degrees to the vertical and tangent to said hook portion, said stem top portion continuing into a downwardly and forwardly extending stem central portion continuing into a vertically downwardly extending stem bottom portion, a flexible strip extending along and in contact with the inner faces of said hook portion and said stem top portion and being permanently attached at its front end to the bottom end of said hook portion, and means for releasably connecting the ends of said strip together for holding said strip about a hanger rod, comprising a hook portion projecting from one end of said flexible strip and cooperating with a keeper opening in the other end of said flexible strip.
3. A hook for garment hangers, comprising a strand of heavy stifi wire having a top hook portion extending approximately 225 degrees in circular shape from a point beginning at an open front side of the hook and continuing into a downwardly and backwardly extending stem top portion disposed at approximately 30 degrees to the vertical and tangent to said hook portion, said stem top portion continuing into a downwardly and forwardly extending stem central portion continuing into a vertically downwardly extending stem bottom portion, a flexible strip extending along and in contact with the inner faces of said hook portion and said stem topportion and being permanently attached at its front end to the bottom end of said hook portion, and means for releasably connecting the ends of said strip .4 together for holding said strip about a hanger rod, the front end of said flexible strip being formed with a clamp which engages the end of said top hook portion.
4. A hook for garment hangers, comprising a strand of heavy stiff wire having a top hook portion extending approximately 225 degrees in circular shape from a point beginning at an open front side of the hook and continuing into a downwardly and backwardly extending stem top portion disposed at approximately 30 degrees to the vertical and tangent to said hook portion, said stem top portion continuing into a downwardly and forwardly extending stem central portion continuing into a vertically downwardly extending stem bottom portion a flexible strip extending along and in contact with the inner faces of the hook portions, the front end of said flexible strip being formed with a clamp which engages the end of said top hook portion, and the extremity of said top portion being enlarged to prevent said clamp from slipping off.
5. A hook for garment hangers, comprising a strand of heavy stiif wire having a top hook portion extending approximately 225 degrees in circular shape from a point beginning at an open front side of the hook and continuing into a downwardly and backwardly extending stem top portion disposed at approximately 30 degrees to the vertical and tangent to said hook portion, said stem top portion continuing into a downwardly and forwardly extending stem central portion continuing into a vertically downwardly extending stem bottom portion a flexible strip extending along and in contact with the inner faces of the hook portions, the front end of said flexible strip being formed with a clamp which engages the end of said top hook portion, and the back end of said flexible strip being formed with a resilient clamp having flared ends by which it may be forced on to and pulled off of said downwardly and rearwardly extending stem top portion.
6. A garment hanger hook for engagement with a support rod, comprising a continuous length of relatively stiif material having at one end a vertical stem portion for attachment at its lower end to a garment hanger, said stem portion continuing at its top end into a rearwardly and upwardly extending central portion forming an obtuse angle with said stem portion, said central portion continuing at its top end into a forwardly and upwardly extending top portion forming substantially a right angle with said stem portion,
, said top portion having its free end substantially over the junction of said stem portion and said central portion and continuing into a forwardly extended semi-circular hook portion having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the support rod, said hook portion having its free end directed downward and rearward parallel to said top portion and toward the junction of said stem portion and said central portion and spaced from said junction at distance greater than I the diameter of the support rod, whereby the hanger hook can be engaged With the support red by moving the hook relative to the support rod so that the rod passes between said free end and said junction until engaged bysaid top portion after which the hanger hook is moved downward in a direction parallel to said top portion engaging said hook portion over the support rod.
