DRAPERY HANGER Filed May 12, 1949 INVENTOR.

Patented Oct. 3, 1950 UNITED STATES FATENT OFFEQE DRAPERY HANGER Bert P. Solomon, Detroit, Mich. Application May 12, 1949, Serial No. 92,883

1 Claim. 1

This application relates to drapery hangers useful in hanging draperies on rods or supports.

A primary object of the present invention is to provide a drapery hanger in the form of a single length of wire which may be bent to provide several major m mbers as follows: A bottom opening U-shaped hook member which hooks over the drape rod; a bottom opening U-shaped clip which grips the upper edge of a drape; and finally, an upwardly projecting hook-- ing pin member which hooks the drape to the hanger and thus supports the drape.

A supplementary object of the present invention is to provide a drapery hanger having the three aforementioned members all made from one integral length of wire bent to provide such members.

A still further object is to form the parts in such a way that when the hanger is applied to a drape, the booking pin member thereof will not snag the drape as the hanger clip is slid downwardly with the drape inside the clip.

An embodiment of the invention has been constructed and is disclosed in the single figure of the appended drawing.

The drapery hanger hereof is in the form of a single length of wire having numerous bends as follows. Starting with the right end In of the wire, the first major bend is at H so that portions 52 and [4 together define a botom open- 'ing U-shaped hook member A for supporting the hanger on a drape supporting rod. The next major bend is at H3 where the lower end of the portion M is formed as a return bend extension H which itself is bent again at l8 to provide another return bend extension 20. Portions l1 and 2!] engage at 2| and together form a bottom opening U-shaped clip member B inside which may be passed the upper edge portion of a drape.

A fourth major bend at 24 provides still another return bend extension forming a short wire hooking pin C having a sharpened free end or point 26 which may be passed through the drape so as to hook the hanger as a whole to the drape and thus support it.

The lower part of the return bend extension 20 is oifset as shown at 21 so that the pin C is offset in order that its end 26 be forward of the plane between the return bend extensions ll20, inside clip B, whereby pin end 26 will not snag the drape as the hanger is being mounted thereon by sliding the clip B down upon the upper edge of a drape inside the clip.

It will be observed that the hanger here shown is made of a single piece of wire bent to provide the portions lZ-M (hook A), and l1-2-il (clip B), and the hooking pin (C).

Now having described the drapery hanger herein disclosed, reference should be had to the claim which follows.

I claim:

A drapery hanger comprising a single length of Wire having several portions defining several major members as follows: first and second portions defining an open bottom U-shaped hook member, third and fourth portions defining an open bottom U-shaped clip member, these portions engaging each other near their lower ends to provide a drapery grip means, and a fifth section in the form of an upwardly projecting hooking pin member, with the five sections being integral and with the trailing end of one portion defining the leading end of the next higher mumbered. portion, the lower end of the fourth section being forwardly bent and thus offsetting the booking pin member so that its upper end is forward of a plane inside the clip member, between the third and fourth sections, behind which plane is the third section and the hook member defined by the first and second sections.

BERT P. SOLOMON.
