Application August 11, 1952, Serial-No:-303,7-32
(Cl. 2%3-'--91) v 4*Claims;
This invention rela'te to new and' useful immovements and structumtirefirrements'rin garment hangers, "and the principal object of the invention is to accommodate -on one hanger T the entire suit, shirt and tie withoutmutilatibn or creasing.
Particularly, the invention 'concerns itself'with the provision of a hanger which is well adapted for travelin'g purpo'se's anil'jwherein the garments maybe 'quickly' and easilyap'plied or removed.
Some of the advantages :of the invention -reside in its simplicity of construction, in its durability and in' its" adaptability to economical manufacture.
With the above more 'important obiiects'I-and features in view, and such other objects ian'd features 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 1 is a perspective view of the invention;
Figure 2 is a sectional view, taken substantially in the plane of the line 22 in Figure 1; and
Figure 3 is a sectional view, taken substantially in the plane of the line 3--3 in Figure 2.
Like character of reference are employed 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 which is designated generally by the reference character It and embodies in its construction an inverted U-shaped support member l2 which has its bight portion formed integrally with an upwardly extending suspension hook I4.
The support member I2 aifords a convenient handle for carrying the hanger when it is not suspended by the hook M, and the vertical side pieces l2a of the support member l2 are connected together at the lower ends thereof by a horizontal cross-piece IIB.
A pair of downwardly divergent arms I 3 extend from the lower ends of the side pieces I2a and are connected together at their lower ends by a transverse cross bar 20. This cross bar is preferably of a rectangular cross-section, as shown in Figure 3.
A pair of swingable keeper bars 22 are pivoted at their upper ends by means of suitable pins 24 to intermediate portions of the respective arms I8, and the lower end portions of the keeper bars 22 are laterally ofiset as indicated at 26 so that they may engage the upper edge and one of the side edges of the cross bar 20.
A keeper strap-228 is pivoted-at one end thereof by a fastening element -30 to the lower end'ofbne of the aforementioned side -pieces l-2a, while-the lower end of *theother side piece -l 2a-isprovi'ded with a circular depression- 32 to removably receive a keeper pin -'or boss -'-34 at u le other end of-th'e strap 28.
"In this manner, the -strap- 28 is iiuxtaposed -to the cross-piece I b; but anintermediaite-portiorrof the strap '28 is recessed-as indicated-at 36-so'as 'to afford a space between the keeper *strapand tlie crosspiece,:as shown in *Figurefi? The 'pivot 30 is sufficiently loo'seto *permit 'disengagement of "the boss 3 i 'from the depression 32 whereupon the strap 28'- may be swung upwardly or downwardly to fa'cilitate positi'oning one or more ties upon the cross-piece Hi. When the keeper strap 28 is subsequently returned to its initial position, it will frictionally engage the ties and sustain them in position on the cross-piece.
By swinging the keeper bars 22 upwardly about the pivots 24, a pair of trousers may be placed over the cross bar 20, and when the keeper bars 22 arev returned to their initial positions, they will eifectively prevent the trousers from shifting or sliding on the cross bar.
A shirt may be placed on the arms l8 s0 that the shirt collar is sustained in proper form by the side pieces [2a of the support member [2, and a jacket may thereupon be placed over the shirt on the arms I8 in a conventional manner.
It is believed that the advantages and use of the invention will be readily understood from the foregoing disclosure and therefore, further description thereof at this point is deemed 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.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A garment hanger comprising an inverted U-shaped support member aiiording a bight portion and a pair of side pieces, an upwardly extending suspension hook provided on said bight portion, a cross piece extending between lower ends of said side pieces, a pair of downwardly divergent arms extending from lower ends of the respective side pieces, a cross bar connecting to gether the lower ends of said arms, and a pair of keeper bars pivoted to intermediate portions of 3 the respective arms, said keeper bars having free end portions engageable with said cross bar for sustaining garments thereon, said keeper bars being swingable toward the bight portion for disengagement from said crossbar.
2. A garment hanger comprising an inverted U-shaped support member affording a bight portion and a pair of side pieces, an upwardly extending suspension hook provided on said bight portion, a cross-piece extending between lower ends of said side pieces, a pair of downwardly divergent arms extending from lower ends of the respective side pieces, a cross bar connecting together the lower ends of said arms, a keeper strap pivoted at one end thereof to the lower end of one of said side pieces, and releasable means for connecting the other end of said strap to the lower end of the other side piece, whereby the strap is sustained in juxtaposed relation to said cross-piece.
3. A garment hanger comprising an inverted U-shaped support member afiording a bight portion and a pair of side pieces, an upwardly extending suspension hook provided on said bight portion, a cross-piece extending between the lower ends of said side pieces, a pair of downwardly divergent arms extending from the lower end of the respective side pieces, a cross-bar connecting together the lower ends of said arms, a pair of keeper bars pivoted to the intermediate portions of said arms and having their free ends engaging said cross-bar, said keeper bars being angled toward one another in their cross-bar engaging position and being swingable toward one another for disengagement from the cross-bar, the free end portions of said keeper bars being 1ongitudinally ofiset from the longitudinal axis of said keeper bars to lie along one side edge of said crossbar.
4. A garment hanger comprising an inverted U-shaped support member afiording a bight portion and a pair of side pieces, an upwardly extending suspension hook provided on said bight portion, a cross-piece extending between the lower ends of said side pieces, a pair of downwardly divergent arms extending from the lower ends of the respective side pieces, a cross-bar connecting together the lower ends of said arms, a pair of keeper bar pivoted to the intermediate portions of said arms and having their free ends engaging said cross-bar, said keeper bars being angled toward one another in their cross-bar engaging position and being swingable toward one another for disengagement from the cross-bar, the free end portions of said keeper bars being longitudinally offset from the longitudinal axis of said keeper bars to lie along one side edge of said cross-bar, a keeper strap pivoted at one end thereof to the lower end of one of said side pieces, and releasable means for connecting the other end of said strap to the lower end of the other side piece whereby the strap is sustained in juxtaposed relation to said cross-piece.
