1 Claim. (Cl. 223-95) The present invention pertains to a novel pants hanger.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a pants hanger that is simple in construction and artistic in appearance.

Another object of the invention is to provide a pants hanger that is practical and easy to use. A final object is to provide such a device made in one piece and capable of being manufactured in various materials and colors.

In the accomplishment of these objects, the device consists of sheet material formed in U-shape with two vertical sides. The device is suspended at the center by a hook formed upward from the mid-portions of the sides in two initial plies fused or welded together. The side walls and ends are scalloped at the edges and formed with semi-circular slots for a purpose that will be described.

The invention is fully disclosed by way of example in the following description and in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is an elevation of the device;

Figure 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a section on the line 33 of Figure 1; and

Figure 4 is a perspective view.

Reference to these views will now 'be made by use of like characters which are employed to designate correcponding parts throughout.

The device comprises, as indicated, a sheet of suitable "ice material having an elongated base 1 somewhat longer than the bottoms of a pair of trousers. The sheet is bent at each end into a U-section having two side sections 2 :and a middle side section 3 along each edge of the base 1. The middle sections 3 are brought together in an inverted V-form, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, and extended upwardly as an integral hook 4.

The sheet material may be metal or plastic, and the coinciding portions of the sections 3 and hooks 4 are welded or fused together to form an integral structure. The free edges of the

sections

2, 3 and the outer edge of the hook 4 are scalloped as shown.

The trousers are suspended by slipping the inner sides of the doubled cuifs 5 over the tongue sections 2 respectively at opposite sides of the hanger. The intermediate sections 3 are bypassed, thereby avoiding the center tack stitches between cufis and the adjacent leg portions of the trousers.

Slots 6 are cut through the

sections

2 and 3 to reduce the weight, :and these are semi-circular to form a coherent design with the scalloped edges. The device is not only utilitarian but is artistic and in good taste.

Although a specific embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be understood that various alterations in the details of construction may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as indicated by the appended claim.

What I claim is:

A \p-ants hanger of the character described comprising an elongated base, side portions along the side edges of said base at each end of the base and forming a U cross section at each end of the base, and a hook portion formed integrally upwardly from the middle of the sides of the base in inverted V form and extended upwardly as a hook.
