2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in pants hangers.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved pants hanger consisting essentially of two mutually connected members which are slid-- able relatively to each other but which are urged apart. These members have at their outer ends upstanding cuff-engaging elements adapted to engage the cuffs of pants legs to hold them. in a taut condition. The pants hanger is equipped with a suitable suspending hook. so that it may be suspended thereby and serve to suspend a pair of trousers so that the crease pressed in the pants legs thereof will be preserved.
Another object of the invention is to provide a pants hanger which is of relatively simple and durable construction and which can be easily and economically manufactured.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will be made manifest in the following detailed description and specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference is had to the accompanying drawings for an illustrative embodiment of the invention wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the improved pants hanger illustrating in phantom lines thereon the manner in which a pair of pants may be mounted thereon and suspended therefrom;
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken substantially upon the line 2-2 upon Fig. l in the direction indicated; and
Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken substantially upon the line 3-3 upon Fig. 1 in the direction indicated.
Referring to the accompanying drawings wherein similar reference characters designate similar parts throughout, the improved pants hanger consists of two opposed members slidably connected to each other for limited relative movement. One of these members is illustrated as having been formed of a tube iii to which is secured an upstanding web II. The other member consists of a rod 52 capable of telescoping into the tube iii against a coil compression spring 53. The coil compression spring is confined between the end of the rod 52 and the closed outer end of the tube I9. A web [4 is secured to the rod [2 and is shaped to provide a suspending hook 15 by which the pants hanger can be suspended. The web H! is slotted with an elongated slot it through which extends a bolt, rivet or the equivalent, indicated at H. This bolt permits limited sliding movement of the two members relative to each other but on engagement with the end of the slot I6 limits the separating movement under the effect of the compression spring l3.
At the outer end of the tube It! there are upstanding spaced arms l8 and I9. These arms are secured to the sides of the tube and are slightly spaced from each other. In the event that the pants hanger is made of metal, these arms may be welded, brazed or otherwise secured to the tube ill but if the pants hanger is formed of a synthetic resin plastic, these arms may be molded integral with the tube. In a similar manner the outer end of the rod 12 is equipped with arms 20 and 2 I.
In use the two opposed members of the pants hanger are caused to slide towards each other against the action of the compression spring l3. This may be accomplished by grasping the two webs ii and it and pushing them together, thus compressing the compression spring. The inner side of one pants leg is then brought up against one side of the pants hanger and the cuff thereon is slipped over the arms [8 and 20. The other pants leg may then be brought up against the other side of the pants hanger and the cuff thereon slipped over the arms l9 and 2 l, somewhat as is depicted in Fig. 3. When the two pants legs have been applied to the hanger by means of their respective cuifs, the webs H and M are released so that the spring i3 may expand the pants hanger as far as is permitted by the cuffs. The arms i8, 20, i9 and 2! will consequently be positioned at the extreme forward and rearward ends of the cufis and will tend to hold and maintain the pants legs in a pressed condition. When it is desired to remove the pants from the pants hanger the webs H and [4 are pushed towards each other to release the engagement between the arms and the ends of the cuffs. The cuffs under these circumstances may be readily slipped off of the arm.
From the above described construction it will be appreciated that an improved pants hanger is provided which is of relatively simple and durable construction and which can be easily and economically manufactured and which is highly advantageous in that a pair of pants may be readily applied and removed therefrom. When the pants are in applied position the pants hanger tends to maintain the pressed condition of the pants.
Various changes may be made in the details of the construction without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A pants hanger comprising a tube, a rod slidable in the tube, a compression spring in the tube urging the rod out of the tube, a web on one end of the tube, a second web intermediate the ends of said rod, said webs being in a partially overlapped relationship and having a pin and slot connection limiting sliding movement thereof relatively to each other, a hook on one of the webs and a pair of opposed spaced arms on the outer ends of the tube and rod, respectively.
2. A pants hanger comprising a tube, a rod slidable in the tube, a compression spring in the tube urging the rod out of the tube, a web on one end of said tube, a Web on said rod intermediate the ends thereof, said webs having a pin and slot connection and being in a partially overlapped relationship for urging the rod into the tube and for limiting sliding movement of the webs relative to each other, a hook on one of the Webs, and a pair of opposed arms on the outer ends of the 5 tube and rod respectively.
