8 :EI E 2 INVENTOR 5 Ii 3 Flea/m5 JOHN myz/ss 1 BY 77Z ATTORNEY United States Patent GARMENT HANGER Francis John Bayliss, Walsall, England Application February 11, 1953, Serial No. 336,401
Claims priority, application Great Britain February 20, 1952 2 Claims. (Cl. 223-94) This invention relates to garment hangers of the kind having a pair of suspension arms one on each side of a central suspension member such as a hook and for use in suspending coats, jackets, gowns, skirts and other garments having shoulder parts, shoulder straps or other similar suspension means.
An object of the present invention is the provision of a novel and improved form of garment hanger which can be readily folded for packing or transit and which When in the folded position, is usable as an article of utility.
The invention consists in a garment hanger incor-- porating a brush stock having a novel combination of parts particularly described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings and more particularly set forth in the appended claims.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood, one construction of a combined garment hanger and clothes brush in accordance with the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the six figures of the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the device in its fully folded position, Figure 2 shows a part rear view of the device in the spread position ready for use in suspending a garment, Figure 3 is an enlarged part central sectional view taken in the general plane of the device and showing one arm folded and the other spread, Figure 4 is an enlarged part section on the line IVIV in Figure 2, Figure 5 is an enlarged part section on the line V--V in Figure 2, and Figure 6 shows a part perspective view of a modified form of suspension arm.
Referring now to the drawing, particularly Figures 1 to 5 thereof, the device comprises a wooden or other brush stock 1 having a pear shaped outline with a channel section metal bracket 2 fixed by rivets 3 to the head of the stock 1 and with a suspension hook 4 mounted on a rod 5 welded to the base of the bracket 2, so that the hook 4 may be folded about the axis of the rod 4 to be flat against the outer side of the stock 1. A blade spring 6 is housed within the bracket 2 and is adapted to cooperate with upper and lower flats F (see Figure 4) on the hook 4 so as to hold the latter in its folded or open positions.
Attached to the bracket 2 are suspension arms 7 and 2,719,658 Patented Oct. 4, 1955 8 and these arms are made of channel section strip. Their inner ends are provided with slots 9 and 10 respectively (see Figure 3) and the slots 9 and 10 are engaged respectively by pins 11 and 12 (see also Figure 3) carried by the bracket 2. These pin and slot connections permit the arms 7 and 8, when moved into a raised or spread position, to be displaced longitudinally into the bracket 2 with their inner ends in abutting engagement with the base of the bracket. A simple reversal of this operation enables the arms 7 and 8 to be disengaged and folded downwardly so that their channel sections embrace the opposite sides of the stock 1 and thus form a frame to it.
Conveniently, the arms 7 and 8 form resilient clips which snap engage the sides of the stock 1 and serve to hold the arms 7 and 8 in their folded positions.
The base of the bracket 2 is provided with detents 13 and 14 (see Figures 3 and 5) which when the arms 7 and 8 are displaced relatively to the bracket 2 into the spread position, engage slots 15 and 16 respectively in the arms 7 and 8 thereby to prevent inadvertent displacement of the arms.
Referring now to Figure 6, this figure shows a modified form of suspension arm, the arm being of solid as opposed to channel section. The main part 17 of the arm is shown as of round section and the inner end part 18 is flattened, a slot 19 for a pin 11 or 12 and a slot 20 for a detent 13 or 14 being provided as before. Any other suitable section of arm may be used and instead of folding against or around the sides of the stock 1, they may fold behind the stock say one on each side of the hook 4.
I claim:
1. A combined garment hanger and brush comprising a brush stock, a channel section bracket attached to the head part of said brush stock, a suspension member, such as a hook, pivotally attached to said bracket, a pair of suspension arms of channel cross section pivotally connected to the ends of said bracket one on each side of the suspension member, said arm connections comprising pin and slot devices which permit said arms to be fixed to said bracket either in a spreading position for garment suspension or of being folded about their pivots in a downward sense about opposite sides of the brush stock so as to form a frame thereto.
2. A combined garment hanger and brush according to claim 1, wherein the arms are constructed as resilient clips which snap engagethe sides of the brush stock and serve to hold the arms in their folded positions.
