Application October 8, 1946, Serial No; 701,928
1 claim: (01. 211-103) This invention relates to new and useful improvements and structural refinements in supports for garment hangers, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a device of the character herein described, which may be easily and conveniently adjusted so that the hangers supported thereby are disposed within immediate reach of the user.
A further object of the invention is to provide a garment hanger support, which, by virtue of its adjustable character, is particularly adapted for use by children.
Another object of the invention is to provide a garment hanger support which is simple in construction, pleasing in appearance, and which may be readily installed in position.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a garment hanger support which will not easily become damaged and which will readily lend itself to economical manufacture.
With the above more important objects in view, and such'other objects as may become apparent as this specification proceeds, the invention consists essentially of the arrangement and construction of parts as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure l is a perspective view of the invention.
Figure 2 is a cross sectional view, taken substantially in the plane of the line 2--2 in Figure l, and
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view, taken substantially in the plane of the line 33 in Figure 1.
Like characters of reference are used to designate like parts in the specification and throughout the several views.
Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, the invention consists of a garment hanger support designated generally by the reference character 5, the same embodying in its construction a pair of elongated brackets 6 and l, disposed in a substantially upright, spaced, opposing relation by being secured to suitable supporting structure, as will be hereinafter more fully explained.
The brackets 6 and l are preferably formed from suitable sheet material and includes laterally oifset mid-portions 8 and 9 respectively, which are connected by the respective intermediate portions 10 and II to pairs of mounting 2 as the opposing walls of a clothes closet, a cabinet, or the like.
The mid-portion 8 of the bracket 6 is provided with a longitudinally extending row of apertures I l, these constituting what may be referred to as keeper seats which will be hereinafter more fully described. The bracket 1 is provided in the midportion 9 and one of the intermediate portions ll thereof with a plurality of arcuate, inwardly and downwardly extending slots l5, these slots being open, as it were, at the longitudinal edge 16 between the portions 9 and H. The slots terminate in rounded extremities ll, these also constituting what may be referred to as keeper seats.
When the invention is placed in use, the brackets 6 and l are secured to suitable supporting structure as has been already explained, and it will be noted that the respective portions 8 and 9 will be spaced from the adjacent surface of said structure, by virtue of the intermediate portions l0 and II respectively.
The brackets are so mounted that each of the keeper seats I4 is aligned with one of the keeper seats 17 and the end portions of a suitable rod or cross bar [8 may then be selectively engaged with the pairs of aligned keeper seats, as will be clearly apparent from the accompanying drawings. The rod 18 is, of course, applied by first inserting one end portion thereof into the desired seat 14 and subsequently engaging its remaining end portion with the corresponding one of the seats I! through the medium of the associated slot.
The brackets, of course, may be of any suitable length, so that the position of the rod l8 with respect to the floor may be varied to suit the convenience of the child.
In addition to its primary function as already explained, it will be apparent that the brackets 6 and I may be mounted on a slant, as it were, so that a plurality of the rods [8 may be employed with the brackets by arranging the same in a staggered formation. In this manner, the support will assume the form of a rack, and the capacity thereof will be proportionately increased.
It may be added that the reference character 19 in the accompanying drawings indicates the garment hanger on the supporting rod.
It is believed that the advantages and use of the invention will be clearly understood from the foregoing disclosure and accordingly, further description thereof at this point is considered unnecessary.
While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
What I claim as my invention is:
A garment hanger support, comprising a combination, a pair of elongated, substantially upright brackets disposed in a spaced, opposing relation, each of said brackets including a pair of marginal mounting flanges and a mid-portion laterally ofiset in relation to said flanges, the mida relatively opposed aperture to form a pair of keeper seats, and a hanger carrying cross bar, the end portions of said bar being selectively receivable in the pairs of said seats.
KENNETH E. MEADOWS.
