Walter Ludwig, Detroit, Mich., assignor to LA. Young Spring & Wire Corporation, Detroit, Mich., a corporation of Michigan Original application August 24, 1946, Serial No.
692,765. Divided and this application July 11, 1947, Serial No. 760,382
This invention relates to improvements in garment hangers.
This application is a division of application, Serial Number 692,765, filed August 2'4, 1946, now Patent No. 2,505, 27, dated April 25, 1950, for Garment Hangers.
The main objects of this invention are:
First, to provide an efficient garment hanger comprising a suspending hook of wire and a supporting yoke of tubular cross section and of iibrous material in which both the hook and supporting yoke are conformed and shaped to facilitate ready assembly of the hook in supporting relation to the yoke.
Second, to provide a garment hanger having these advantages which is attractive in appearance and economical to produce.
Objects relating to details and economies of the invention will appear from the description to follow. A structure illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the hanger embodying the features of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary View in central longitudinal vertical section of the yoke member at the apex thereof illustrating the suspending hook in assembled relation to the yoke.
Referring to the drawing, the garment hanger comprises a yoke I having downwardly diverging garment supporting arms 2, this yoke in the preferred embodiment of the invention being integrally formed of a paper tube. The apex 3 f the yoke has the under wall 4 collapsed upwardly longitudinally centrally thereof against the upper wall 5 providing a downwardly opening groove-like recess 6 in the bottom wall extending longitudinally of the yoke. The outer ends of the yoke arms are conformed and shaped to provide longitudinally downwardly curved garment supporting portions 1, and to provide upwardly collapsed lower walls.
The tube is formed of a plurality of layers or plies of paper, as conventionally shown in Fig. 2, which are convolutely or otherwise wound into tubular formation and cemented together. The tube in its entirety may be collapsed and conformed to the shape, as shown and above described, in the process of manufacture of the same quite promptly after the tube is formed and before the glue or cement used in cementing the plies together has set.
The suspending hook designated generally as B is preferably formed of a piece of wire of suitable gauge folded upon itself to provide a hook por- 1 Claim. (Cl. 223-92) tion 9, the bight of the fold constituting the bill 10 of the hook as shown in Fig. 1. The strands are twisted together to form at least a portion of the shank H, the lower ends of strands of the shank below the twist thereof terminating in laterally offset downwardly diverging arms I2 terminating in depending vertical portions l3,
outwardly bent at their lower ends to form downwardly diverging arms [4 having at their ends upwardly projecting prongs 15. The depending vertical portions 13 springably engage the outer ends of a pair of substantially spaced aligned slots [6 extending through and longitudinally of the upper wall 5 of the yoke at the apex; 3 thereof. The arms M are disposed within and project longitudinally of the yoke arms 2, with the prongs l5 at the outer ends thereof supportingly engaging the bottom of the upper wall of the yoke arms. The substantial spacing and length of the strands beneath the twisted shank ll permit the same to be readily forced or pressed towards each other into the dotted line position shown in Fig. 2 whereby the arms M with their prongs 15 may be inserted through the slots IE to the interior of the yoke arms as shown in full lines in Fig. 2. This assembly of the suspending hook to the yoke member may be readily performed with or without the use of tools.
The foregoing structure is characterized by the inexpensiveness of the production thereof, by its rigidity, resistance to displacement and effectiveness in supporting garments. The operation of assembling the same may be readily performed and once assembled the hanger is capable of repeated use without likelihood of coming apart or becoming unstable.
An embodiment ofthe invention which incorporates the principles thereof in a highly desirable manner have been illustrated and described. It should be understood that the foregoing terminology is used descriptively rather than in any limiting sense and with full intent to use equivalents of the features shown and described within the scope of the following claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
In a garment hanger, the combination of a supporting yoke and a suspending hook, said yoke being of tubular cross section and of fibrous material and having downwardly diverging garment supporting arms, the upper wall of the yoke at the apex thereof having therethrough. a pair of slots elongated in the direction of the length of the yoke and spaced longitudinally thereof, said suspending hook provided with a shank havin laterally ofiset and downwardly extending springable arms, said arms at their lower ends having outwardly bent longitudinally extending portions disposed substantially in the plane of the arms and terminating at their outer ends in upwardly projecting prongs, said arms extending through said spaced slots; said outwardly bent portions being disposed within the tubular yoke and extending generally longitudinally of the yoke and being of a length relative to said slots to permit bodily movement therethrough a direction substantially at right angles to the yoke, said prongs supportingly engaging the upper wall of the yoke, and said downwardly extending arms being of substantial length and substantiallyspaced to permit their lower ends to be springably forced WALTER LUDWIG.
