Description
June 14, 1955 G. C. FORD COMBINED HANGER AND UTILITY BAG Filed July 1, 1954 uvmvrozc GLADYS c. FORD ATTORNEY.
United States Patent COMBINED HANGER AND UTILITY BAG Gladys C. Ford, New York, N. Y.
Application July 1, 1954, Serial No. 440,632 l Claim. (Cl. 150-4 This invention relates to a combined coat hanger and utility bag and has for its principal object the provision of an improved structure having coat hanging means and a plurality of conveniently arranged pockets for sundry articles.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel structure of the character which is particularly useful for overnight and week-end guests in homes and the structure provides pockets for articles usually carried by travelers in order that such articles may not be misplaced and forgotten when the guest leaves.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved multi-pocket bag and hanger structure which combines in a single structure a coat hanger which is readily removable from the bag section to allow for easy laundering of the article, and which provides pockets for articles of clothing and accessories of all kinds.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a structure embodying the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken substantially through the center thereof.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a modified form of the invention.
Fig. 4 is a central vertical section thereof.
In the structure of Figs. 1 and 2 there are provided similarly shaped front and rear walls and 11 formed of fabric or other flexible material, and whose opposed upper edge sections are upwardly curved as shown at 12 and which are joined together along such edges by stitch lines 13. The central sections 14 are substantially horizontal and are not joined so as to provide an opening 15 to receive the hook section 16 of a garment hanger 17 whose lateral sections have substantially the same curvature as upper edges 12.
Attached to front wall 10 are a plurality of pockets which may include two relatively shallow pockets 26 and 27 in the upper section and a deeper pocket 29 which preferably extends across the entire lower section. These pockets may be secured to said front wall 10 by stitch lines some of which may include stitch lines 22 and 23.
It will be noted from the foregoing that stitch lines 13 and 21 provide a support for the coat hanger 17 which may be inserted into the large internal pocket 25 and its hook section is then moved up into opening 15. The structure is adapted to be hung on a hook or a closet door or upon a bar in a closet and the several articles such as pocketbooks, shoes, handkerchiefs may be placed in the pockets on the front wall and other articles in the larger pocket 25 which is co-extensive with the edges of the front and rear walls 10 and 11.
In order to keep the lower end of the structure extended to its full width a dowel stick 30 may be inserted into the lower end of pocket 25 and this spacing element may be removed as desired.
In the modified form of the invention shown in Figs. 3 and 4 there are again two blanks forming front and rear walls 35 and 36 which are joined together by vertical stitch lines 37 and 3%. The blank forming the rear wall is of greater depth than the front wall blank and is turned upwardly at its lower end to form an elongated loop 39 to receive a dowel stick 40 to retain the lower end of the structure in extended position. A stitch line 41 defines the upper end of the loop.
The vertical stitch lines terminate at their upper ends at 42 and the upper edges 43 of the front and rear walls again have upwardly curved sections 44 which meet substantially at the center. Each of these upper edges conforms generally with the contour of the laterally extending portions 45 of a coat hanger which is provided with a hook 46. These upper edge sections are provided with complemental detachable fasteners 47 which may be joined together after the hanger is in place as shown in Fig. 3. Two pairs of fasteners at the center are spaced apart a sufficient distance to permit the hook to pass up wardly.
Attached to the front face of the front Wall 35 is an upper, open-ended external pocket 50 extending substantially the full width of the wall and a plurality of lower external pockets 51, 52 and 53.
If desired a section of the vertical stitching may be omitted to form an opening for the large internal pocket shown at 54. Even if this section of vertical stitching is not omitted access to the internal pocket is available by separating several of the fasteners at the edge as shown in Fig. 3.
The use of the article of the present invention will be largely clear from the foregoing description. The article may be readily folded and placed in a piece of luggage for carrying or it may be placed upon a shelf when not in use. When it is to be used the hook of the hanger is placed on a garment nail or hook in a closet and the pockets are readily available for such articles as are to be placed therein.
What I claim is:
A combined coat hanger and utility bag formed with inner and outer, generally rectangular, vertical walls which are joined together along their lower edges and over the major portion of their opposed vertical edges to form an internal pocket to receive articles, a portion of the upper section of said vertical edges being unattached to form an opening for the introduction of the articles, the upper edge of each wall extending progressively upwardly from the opposed vertical edges, the two upper edges being joined together except at the center of each edge, thus leaving a central opening, a coat hanger provided with a central hook portion extending through said opening and lateral, downwardly extending portions whose contour is shaped substantially the same as the upper edge sections of the walls and being detachably positioned adjacent said sections, and means on the outer face of the front wall forming with the front wall a plurality of external pockets.
