GARMENT HANGER Filed March 19, 1949 Patented Dec. 23, 1952 UNITED STATES i ATENT OFFICE GARMENT HANGER Joseph Oldham, New York, N. Y.
Application March 19, 1949, Serial No. 82,430
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to garment hangers.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a garment hanger which can be used to hang many different forms of garments and ties all on the same hanger and wherein the trousers can be suspended by their cuffs by a simple arrangement of wedge members wherein one of the same is pulled toward the other which may be fixed in a manner proportioned to the weight of the trousers and sufficiently to retain the trousers by their cuffs.
It is another object of the present invention to provide in a garment hanger, devices for securing the various pieces to the hanger and wherein there is a member which is adjustable to retain ties in a fixed manner so that they will not he slipped from the hanger wherein the adjustable member can be moved to a position for retaining the ties or for the disposal of the ties thereover.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide a garment hanger adapted to contain a plurality of garments and ties which is of simple construction, has removable parts to facilitate the connection of the garments to the hanger, easy to operate, has a minimum number of parts, has a removable shoulder pad construction to adapt the hanger for either light clothing or for heavy coats, and efficient in operation.
For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the garment hanger embodying the features of the present invention with the shoulder pad at one side thereof lifted and detached from the main hanger portion.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken generally on line 2-2 of Fig. 1 but showing the shoulder support assembled with the hanger.
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken generally on line 33 of Fig. 1.
Referring now to the figures, it represents the main part of the hanger having a hook II from which the hanger is supported upon the hook being applied over a rod or nail. The hanger has in its ends longitudinally extending slots [2 into which can be extended respectively a projection l3 of a shoulder support I4. The projection l3, when fitted in the slot 12, is made fixed by a bolt 15 and a thumb nut l6, Fig. 2. This shoulder support is made of folded metal I? and may be covered with a soft cloth or felt layer I8. The
2 bolts 15 extend through openings 19 in the main portion of the hanger l0 and an opening 2| in the projection l3 of the shoulder support.
Depending from the main hanger portion In is a main frame, indicated generally at 22, and includes vertically extending side pieces 23 and 24 held together by transverse members 25 and 26. This frame is adapted to support trousers, skirts and ties, or other pieces of garments which do not include shoulder formations. Adjacent the transverse member 25 there may be inserted a removable piece 21 the ends of which fit into inclined slots 23 in their respective side pieces 23 and 24. With the trousers, as shown at 29, inverted so that their cuffs 3| are located between the transverse member and the removable piece 21, they will be retained and suspended from the hanger, from their cuffs 3!.
Below the members 25 and 21 there is mounted a roller 32 having ends 33 fitting respectively in inclined slots 3 These rollers can be removed and may serve also to support garments which may be extended over them.
In order to provide a support for ties, a transverse tie supporting member 35 is pivoted between the side pieces 23 and 24! adjacent the bottom transverse support member 26 and when loaded with ties 36 can be pivoted to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 3 to restrain the ties and to keep them from dropping from the hanger. A shoulder 31 is provided on the transverse member 26 for engagement with the inner edge of the pivotal tie supporting member 35. The tie supporting member 35 can be adjusted upwardly to the dot and dash line position indicated at 38 in Fig. 3. In this position, it can readily receive ties as space is left behind the same through which the ends of the ties can be dropped.
The shoulder supports M are removable from the hanger portion at times when it is desired to only support light weight clothing on the hanger and wherein it is not necessary to have the shoulder supports for heavy coats or the like. It will be apparent that these supports can be easily and quickly assembled upon the hanger when desired to adapt the hanger for use with heavy coats. The upper ends of the side pieces 23 and 24 can be fixed to the main garment portion in in any desired manner.
While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claim.
Having thus set forth and disclosed the nature of my invention, what is claimed is:
A garment hanging structure comprising a main hanger portion having a hook formation thereon, a depending supporting structure connected to the ends of the hanger portion, said supporting structure having side pieces and a transverse member connecting the side pieces together, a shoulder extending inwardly from and along the lower edge thereof, a tie supporting member pivotally connected to the side pieces and adapted to be moved toward and away from the transverse member and over the shoulder thereof whereby to confine the tie ends therebetween or in tight engagement with. the transverse member to prevent their slippage from the structure.
