.. zt 1949 E. w. slMMET 2,49%335 ADJUSTABLE CLOTHES HANGER Filed 00tl, 1947 Inventor Eugene W. Simmel Patented Dec. 20, 1949 ADJUSTABLE CLOTHES HANGER Eugene W. Simmet, Glendive, Mont., assignor of forty per cent to Desmond J. ONeil, Glendive,
Mont.
Application October 14, 1947, Serial No. 779,821
1 Claim. l
This invention relates to improvements in adjustable clothes hangers.
An object of the invention is to provide an adjustable clothes hanger.
Another object of the invention is to provide an adjustable clothes hanger which may be adjusted laterally or longitudinally.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved clothes hanger which may be adjusted laterally or longitudinally in a step-bystep manner.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved adjustable clothes hanger which may be adjusted laterally or longitudinally at each of the sides or ends.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved adjustable clothes hanger which will be highly eicient in operation, 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 front elevation of the improved adjustable clothes hanger, showing the same in dotted lines in laterally extended position;
Figure 2 is an enlarged detail sectional view through one end of the improved adjustable clothes hanger, and
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 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 an improved adjustable clothes hanger generally designated by the reference numeral I, including a transversely extending hollow upper or top tubular rod formed with an inverted V-shape central portion 2, and oppositely or laterally extending depending terminal ends S and 4. A series of transversely spaced apertures 5 are formed through the upper portions of the terminal ends 3 and I for providing the adjusting of the clothes hanger I.
A transversely extending lower or bottom tubular rod E is formed with a plurality of spaced openings 'I through its opposite ends for adjusting purposes, and will extend below the terminal ends 3 and l! of the upper or top tubular rod.
A pair of resilient U-shape end or tie wires or members 8 and 9 of slightly less diameter than the upper and lower tubular rods are adapted to be telescopically received in the upper and lower tubular rods, and the inner ends of the tie wires or members B and 9 are bent outwardly as at IIJ and I I, and are resiliently projected through any of the selected openings or apertures 5 and l respectively formed in the upper and lower tubular rods.
In operation when the clothes hanger I is to be adjusted laterally, either inwardly or outwardly, it is only necessary to compress the sides of the U-shape tie Wires or members 8 and 9 to release the ends I0 and I I from the apertures 5 and l, and slide the tie wires or members B and 9 inwardly or outwardly as desired.
A clip I'Z will be secured to the central portion of the inverted V-shape central portion 2 of the upper tubular rod of the hanger I, and a supporting hook I3 will be rotatably or swvelly attached thereto.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that there has been provided a highly eilicient form of adjustable clothes hanger which may be manufactured at a relatively low cost.
While the preferred embodiment of the instant 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 described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
An adjustable clothes hanger comprising a tubular shoulder support having longitudinally spaced apertures adjacent the free ends thereof, a tubular pants supporting rod having longitudinally spaced apertures adjacent the free ends thereof and disposed beneath said shoulder support, and means adjustably interconnecting 'the free ends of said shoulder support with said tubular rod, said means including resilient substantially U-shaped members, the leg portions of each of said members being slidably received in said shoulder support and said tubular rod, and lips carried at the free ends of said leg portions :receivable in selected apertures of said shoulder support and tubular rod.
