GARMENT HANGER Filed Maron 25', 1947 TSL- f 4 l ruoli@ l r ur l.
Patented Apr. 3, 1951 UNITED STAT@ PATENT 'OFFECE "GARMENT HANGER Norman Edward Brooke, Washington, D. C.
Application MarchZS, 1947, Serial N0. 737,185
This invention relates to a garment hanger and `it is.' an object-of the invention .to provide a device ment.
it is also 'anrobject ofthe'invention to provide 'a 'device of this kind wherein is provided 4a cross "suspending mem-ber together with an element operatively engaged with one end portion of said cross member and pressing toward the central portion thereof to effectively'maintain against displacement a garment suspended from the cross member.
The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved garment hanger, whereby certain advantages are attained, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
ln order that my invention may be better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure l is a view in elevation of a garment hanger constructed in accordance with an einbodiment of the invention;
Figure 2 is a view in top plan of the device as illustrated in Figure l;
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken substantially on the line 3 3 of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is an enlarged, detailed sectional View taken .substantially on the line 1 -1l of Figure l;
Figure 5 is an enlarged, detailed sectional view taken lengthwise through the inner portion of the hook member H and the 'adjacent portions of the arms of the supporting element; and
Figure 6 is a detailed sectional View taken substantially on the iine 6-6 of Figure l.
In the embodiment of the invention the garment hanger comprises an elongated cross or suspending one piece body-member i termined dimensions and which may be made of such material preferred or which may be considered best for the purpose intended. This member I in cross section is concavo-convex from one end to the other with the convex or outbow suciace upwardly directed.
Riveted at 2 or otherwise securely aiixed to the opposite extremities of the member i are the inwardly disposed end portions 3 ofthe upwardly converging arms l comprised in the supporting element E of the hanger. The converging or upper extremities of these arms 4 are inward- 1y disposed as at 5 in substantially coplanar relaof prede- 2 Claims. (Cl. .22B-'491). v
2 tion and substantially parallel vto the member i. The inner or opposed ends of the portions 3' are upwardly-continued to provide the hook member H whereby the hanger maybe readily suspended from a suitable support. v
As illustrated in the accompanying drawing, the arms 4I, together with thelhook member H, are formed from one length of material'properly folded and be-nded. However, I do not wish to'be understood as limiting myself to any particular construction of the element E because, for eX- ample, the strip from which the element is produced may, if desired, also be integral with the extremities of the member I and with the initial free ends 'of the strip suitably interlocked in the hook member H.
As illustrated in the accompanying drawing, the portions 3 of the element E underlie the member I and interposed between one of the portions 3 and the adjacent extremities of the member i is an end portion S of a spring member S. This spring member S is of a leaf type and has its portion immediately adjacent 'the outer end of the member I disposed upwardly as at i on a curvature closely conforming to the adjacent outwardlyk curved portion 8 of an arm d. This portion 6 at its upper or outer end is continued by an elongated and substantially straight arm 9 of a length and disposed on such `an angle as to terminate at substantially the longitudinal center of the member I and normally in substantially close contact therewith. The free extremity of this arm Si carries a curved foot Ii! in order to eliminate any sharp or cutting contact of the free end portion of the arm 9 with a garment placed over the member I. n*
There is preferably placed in surrounding relation upon the outer or free end portion or foot I0 of the arm 9 a tubular pad I I of rubber or such material which will best meet the requirements of practice and which eiiectively protects against injury a garment on the member I with which the arm 9 of the spring member s contacts.
In the present embodiment of the invention, the lower portion of the hook member H or that portion immediately adjacent to the parts 5 of the arms 4 is provided with the contacting straight parts I2 through which is disposed a hole rivet I4.
It is believed to be obvious that the portions l of the spring member S will have rolling contact from within with the curved portion 8 of the associated arm which will Vserve to further assure the desired effective action of the arm 9 and will further minimize liability of this portion 'I of the spring member S crystallizing.
In the present embodiment of my invention it is to be noted that the rivet-2 shown for holding anextremity of the arm to the member I is also disposed through the portion B of the spring member S and constitutes an` anchoring medium therefor.
From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a garment hanger constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated.
I claim:
1. A garment -hanger comprising a long one piece body having a top surface, a suspension means connected with the two ends of said body, and a relative long arm member of resilient material having a portion atone end turned back to provide a spring bow, the outer end of the spring bow being secured to the adjacent end of the long body, said spring bow being interposed between the said end of the long body and an adjacent portion of the suspension means, said arm being continued from the bowed end longitudinally of said long body to and contacting the top surface of said long body substantially midway between the ends thereof.
2. A garment hanger comprising a relatively long one piece garment supporting body, means for supporting said body comprising a long element overlying the body and having two ends each of which is secured to an end of the body, a suspension hook intermediate the ends of said element, each of said ends being outwardly and downwardly bowed, means securing each of said bowed ends to the adjacent end of the body, a long spring arm having one end resting upon the top surface of said body and extending upwardly and outwardly toward the underside of a bowed end of said element and having contact with the underside thereof and following the curvature of the same to form a spring loop, and said spring loop having an end secured to the said supporting body by the said means securing the adjacent end of said element thereto.
