Dec. 15, 1959 F. w. PARKER 2,917,212
GARMENT HANGER Filed Dec. 10. 1957 CLOTHESL/NE Hare/Ice w Parker 1 N VE N TOR BY 9mm United States Patent GARMENT HANGER Florence W. Parker, Sparks, Nev.
Application December 10, 1957, Serial No. 701,855
1 Claim. (Cl. 223-88) The present invention relates to a garment hanger having a suspension hook for attachment to a clothes closet pole, in a more or less conventional manner, and which, in addition, is provided with a clamp which lends itself to attachment to and suspension from a clothesline.
More specifically, the invention pertains to a novel structural adaptation which is characterized by two conventional wire clothes hangers, that is, hangers of the customary triangular shape. The two hangers are brought together in coplanar relationship and have their respective base members brought together and welded and thus joined. One clothes hanger has the customary hanger hook. The other clothes hanger is provided in a corresponding position with a clamp which may be used with requisite nicety on a clothesline. The clamp is hingedly and preferably permanently joined to that part of the clothes hanger with which it cooperates.
The obvious object of the invention is to thus provide a multipurpose hanger construction which may be used outdoors for hanging up clothes, suit coats, overcoats and so on, and may then be detached from the line and carried indoors and used in the customary clothes closet manner.
Other objects, features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing wherein like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the views:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the clothesline in phantom lines and showing how the twin-type garment hanger is employed, that is, is attached to the clothesline for out-of-doors use.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the plane of the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a view on a smaller scale and appearing in elevation and showing how the hangers are reversed for indoor use.
Referring now to the drawing, one unit or triangular garment hanger is denoted at 6 and the companion one at 8. The last named hanger may be said to be conventional in that it has the usual straigheacross rod or base member 10 and companion members 12 converging to and joined with the twisted wire hanger hook 14. For convenience, the hanger 8 may be said to be the primary hanger. The secondary or companion hanger is the one denoted at 6 and this is much the same in construction and includes converging members 16 joining a substantially straight-across portion 18 and joined at their other ends to the base member 20. The latter parallels the "ice member 10 and the two members in this side-by-side relationship are permanently welded together at 22.
The clothesline attaching clamp or clip is denoted by the numeral 24 and it is, in and of itself, more or less conventional in construction, and includes suitably shaped jaws 26 having ears 28 hingedly connected together, said jaws being closed by a spring 30. The two grips are denoted by the numerals 32 and 34 and the grip 34 is formed into a tubular attaching and hinging knuckle 36, which knuckle is permanently attached to the straightacross portion 18 of hanger 6. Thus, and as previously set forth, there are two permanently attached coplanar garment hangers 6 and 8 with their base members 20 and 10 paralleling each other and welded together and with their opposite suspension portions provided one with the hook 14 and the other with the clothesline clamp or hook 24.
With the construction used in the manner seen in Fig. 1, it will be evident that clothes hung on the hanger (not shown) will not blow off when the garments are being dried or aired, as the case may be. As before stated, the construction is reversible from the position seen in Fig. l to that seen in Fig. 4 audit will be evident from Fig. 4 that with the components thus arranged, the device may be used in the usual way in a clothes closet. Under these circumstances the clothesline clamp or clip 24 may be employed to successfully hang skirts or trousers, as the case may be.
From the foregoing, the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood and further explanation is believed to be unnecessary. However, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the inventoin as claimed.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
A garment hanger comprising a pair of generally triangular, coplanar, oppositely extending wire frames, said frames including horizontal, parallel, side-abutting base bars fixedly secured together from end to end and providing a straight, unobstructed garment supporting rod of double thickness, and a clip on the apex portion of one of the frames engageable with a support for suspending the hanger therefrom in one position, said hanger being invertible and further comprising a hook on the apex portion of the other of said frames engageable with a support for suspending said hanger therefrom in an inverted position.
