Application March'18, 1947, Serial No. 735,420
This invention relates to clothes hangers and more particularly to hangers for trousers and skirts.
It is an object of the present invention'to provide in a hanger for trousers and skirts a hookelement for suspending the hanger which serves as the means for effecting the tightening of the parallel retaining elements of the hanger, where.- in the hook'is merely brought to an upright position to effect the tightening of the parallel elements and to release the trousers or skirts the 5 Claims. (01. 223-96) hook element is brought to a released or' down position.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a clothes hanger for trousers and thelike which is of simple construction, cheap and easy to operate.
For other objects and for a better understand to manufacture ing of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. l is aside elevational view of one form of the invention.
Fig. 2 is an end elevational View of the form of the invention shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary View, in
section, and illustrating the operation of thehook portion for effecting the locking of the parallel retaining elements.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view of a differenthook arrangement wherein the hook need not be pivoted to such a great extent to effect the locking operation and wherein the hook will be maintained normally in both positions of adjustment in an upright position so that the hanger can be supported by the hook regardless of whether it has been locked or released.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary side elevational view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 4 and looking in the direction of the arrows thereof.
Referring now particularly to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, l0 and II represent parallel retaining elements between which the trousers or skirt are extended. Fitted into the upper edges of the parallel elements l0 and ll, are double wire portions I2 and 13, respectively. These portions can be formed of a strap or wire material which is bent to form adjacent portions connected together at their upper ends as indicated at 14. The portions l2 and I3 at their lower ends being connected to the parallel elements l0 and I i as seen in Fig. 2. These wires are of spring material and will bend. If the parallel retaining elements I El and H are made of plastic material the lower ends of the wires I 2 and I3 may be molded or inserted in them.
Extending from one set of parallel wire portions to the other set of parallel wire portions and between the wires of the respective sets, is a spool like element l5 having internal tapered faces [6 adapted to act in cam like fashion upon:
the respective Wires when the upper ends M are brought together to cause the inward and clamping movement or engagement of the parallel retaining elements It) and II. As the upper ends l4 of the wire portions are brought together the wires are sliddown over the inclined or tapered faces it of the spool like element 15. The wire sets l2 and I3 are accordingly brought together. When the upper ends 14 are released; the wire setswill expand and the retaining elements will be released from the trousers or skirt. The ends M are brought together by a pivoted hook 18 as,
the same is pivoted from its full lined position as shown in Fig. 3 to the upright or dotted'line position. The hook l8 has a pivot connection as indicated at 19 with one of the ends 14. In this manner the hook is retained upon the wire portion. The hook further has a straight portion 2| which extends between the ends M to connect them together; Extending upwardly from the horizontal portion 2! is a camming portion 22 adapted to cause the opposite ends I4.
to be brought toward the other or the one end I4 as the hook I 8 is brought from the position shown in full in Fig. 3 to the dotted line position as indicated at It.
horizontal portion 2| by a bend 23 between the horizontal portion 2| and the camming portion 22. The entire hook I8 is formed of a flat narrow strap.
Referring now particularly to Figs. 4 and 5, there is shown a modified form of the invention. A hook 24, also formed of straps, is provided with a portion adapted to be connected to ends of wires l2, Fig. 5, to hold them together. This attaching portion is indicated at 25 and has wing portions 26 which are folded respectively around the upper ends of the wires l2 to be retained against slippage therefrom. Extending upwardly from the attaching portion 25 is a gooseneck 21 which extends forwardly as indicated at 28 to receive an end I4 on wires I3. The portion 28 receives the transverse end I4 when the hook 24 is pivoted rearwardly upon the gooseneck 21 and the end I4 is retained on the portion 28 by a stop portion 29. When the hook 24 is released the end M will be retained as shown in Fi 4 in a After the opposite end- 14 .zhas been socammed it will be retained on the the arrangement shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the same closing movement of the wires is eifected as in Figs. 1 and 2 and that the wires will be brought down upon the inclined faces l6 of the spool like element I5. In this latter form of the invention the hook 24 will always be held upright and in a position so that it can be used to suspend the hanger on a hook. even. though. the hook portion has not been: movedi to the locked position as; shown in dotted lines 24'.
While various changes may be made in the dotail construction of the invention, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention. as-defined by the appended claims.
