Description
Patented Aug. 9, 1960 HANGER COVER George V. States, Brooklyn, Mich., assignor to Brooklyn Products, Inc., Brooklyn, Mich., a corporation of Michigan Filed Sept. 17, 1956, Ser. No. 610,196 1 Claim. c1. 223-9s 7 com's 'thisdifliculty. As disclosed in said patent, the
cover comprises a narrow elongated strip of elastic material having a relatively rough surface with a center opening to receive the hanger hook and fabricated pockets at the ends of the strip to engage the ends of the hanger when the strip is extended.
According to the present invention the pockets at the ends of the elastic strip are not fabricated in the sense disclosed in said patent, as this requires an added operation and increases the cost of manufacture as well as complicating the packaging of the covers. In lieu thereof, according to the present invention, the ends of the elongated cover strip are slit longitudinally to provide a pair of tabs with one of the tabs at each end of the strip being transversely slitted between its longitudinal sides to receive the adjacent tab and to close the end of the strip in the form of a pocket. Thereafter, this pocket is turned wrong side out, so to speak, to dis pose the free ends of the tabs within the pocket. With the tabs so positioned, the tension exerted by the cover when stretched over the hanger will retain the tabs in pocket-forming relation.
Thus, an object of the invention is to provide a strip type clothes hanger cover of the same general design as disclosed in said patent in which the retaining pockets engaging the hanger ends are defined by tabs integral with the strip, threaded one through the other and disposed in overlapping relation.
Another object of the invention is to provide a cover of the type described in which the end retaining structure is provided by integral tabs slit from the cover stock and threaded one into the other.
These and other objects and advantages residing in the "specific details of construction for producing the integral retaining pockets will more fully appear from the following specification and the appended claim.
In the drawings,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the pockets in the flat,
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view showing the first step of forming the pocket as viewed from one side of the cover,
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing the opposite side of the cover after the pocket has been tucked under,
Fig. 4 is an end view of the pocket as formed in Fig. 3, and
Fig. 5 is an elevational view of the cover applied to a hanger.
cover with the The cover 10 may be of any suitable strip material having sufiicient elasticity to be stretched upon a clothes hanger and retain itself in position in use. Preferably, a synthetic elastomer of foamed texture to give a relatively rough or sponge-like surface is used.
In practice, the cover 10 is cut to the desired length from a roll of material and the longitudinal and lateral slits 12 and 14 are made at opposite ends. The slits 12 and 14 have been shown with exaggeration for purposes of illustration. Actually, the material is severed without removing any stock.
The slit 14 divides the ends of the cover 10 into tabs 16 and 18 with the slit 12 being located in the tab 18. A hole 20 is centrally located to receive the hook of the hanger 28- at the time the cover 10 is applied to the hanger.
To assist in the description, the opposite sides of the cover 10 are designated A and B. With the cover 10 fabricated, as shown in Fig. l, to form the pocket 22 at one end, the tab 16 is inserted through the slit 12 as shown in Fig. 2. Thus assembled the pockets 22 are tucked under or reversed to form pockets as at 24 on the B side of the cover, as shown in Fig. 3. It will be understood that in Fig. 3 the side B is up while in Fig. 2 the side A is up.
In use the cover 10 is stretched over the hanger whereby the end 26 of the clothes hanger 28 is received in pocket 24 and bears against the tabs 16 and 18- in the vicinity of 30 and the pressure of elasticity of the cover 10 against the end 26 of the hanger tends to retain the tab 16 in threaded relation to the tab 18.
As shown in Fig. 5, the cover 10 is draped and tensioned on the hanger 28 with the end 26 engaging the pocket 24 at 30 (Fig. 3) to hold the tabs 16 and 18 from unthreading from the slit 12.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to cover by Letters Patent is:
An elastic cover for clothes hangers having end portions, said cover adapted to be stretched over the hanger to dispose the hanger end portions in pockets defined by the cover to drape the cover in a tensioned condition over the supporting surface of the hanger, said cover comprising an elongated strip of elastic material having a center hole to receive the hanger hook, the ends of said strip having juxtapositioned tabs of substantially equal length defined by an axially extending slit intersecting each end of the strip, one of said tabs having an opening having a continuous periphery defined therein adjacent its inner end, the other of said tabs being adapted to be threaded through said opening. to form an end pocket, said opening being located such that upon tucking said end pocket under to define a pocket on the opposite side of said cover and inserting the hanger end portion therein places the hanger end portion upon the tab extending through the opening at the point of passing therethrough, thereby compressing the threaded tab to prevent withdrawal from said opening.
