SKIRT OR PANTS HANGER Filed June lO, 1958 I l BY 5 W o] l United States Patent O 2,952,367 SKIRT OR PANTS HANGER Catherine B. Creveling and Elmer V. Pennell, Patterson, N.Y. Filed `lune 10, 1958, Ser. No. 741,089 1 Claim. (Cl. 211-113) The invention herein disclosed relates to garment hangers.
Objects of the invention are to provide a hanger for garments in the nature `of skirts and trousers, which will hold a plurality of such items and which will be operative to receive or to release such articles by a simple, direct, push or pull action.
Special objects of the invention are to provide this hanger in a form which may readily be mounted in a clothes closet, as by hanging it on a clothes pole and which in such position will be firmly braced so that the garments will hang straight and so that the garments may be readily slipped into position on or be released from the hanger.
These and other desirable results are attained by constructing the hanger with a series of clamp bars supported in parallel side by side relation, relatively separable to receive lthe garments therebetween and yieldingly pressed together so as to grip and support the garments and so as to yield for entry of garments therebetween or for release of the same.
Other features of the invention and objects accomplished are set forth and will appear in the course of the following specification.
The drawing accompanying and forming part of the speciication is illustrative of a practical embodiment of the invention. Structure, however, may be modified and changed as regards the immediate illustration, all within the true intent and scope of the invention as hereinafter defined and claimed.
Fig. 1 in the drawing is a perspective View showing the invention in use, parts broken away and appealing in section.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the hanger, portions appearing in section.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation, parts in section, showing the hanger suspended from a closet pole and braced by extension of a member into engagement with the back wall of the closet.
Fig. 4 is a broken perspective view of the suspension hook.
Fig. 5 is a broken perspective View showing how the offset in the end of the hook permits it to fold down close over the clamp bars.
The base or body of the device is shown as a flat board 7 of a size to form a supporting foundation for a series of garment clamping bars or slats 8.
These bars are slidably coni-ined in parallel side by side relation on the board by means consisting in the illustration of a rod 9 secured in brackets 10 at the back of the board, over which the back ends of the `bars are loosely string by means of openings in bars 8 as shown at 11, Fig. 2.
An overstanding guide bracket 12 attached by screws or other fastenings 12' at the forward edge of the board serves to slidingly coniine the more forward portions of the bars.
The bars are yieldingly gripped together in the present disclosure by levers v13 pivoted on the board at 14, these levers engaging the outermost bars of the series and being drawn together by springs 15 and '16 attached to the upper and lower faces of the levers by fastenings 15', 16 and extending across above and below the bars.
To more or less centralize the laterally separable bars,
ICC
the center or intermediate bar 8a is shown xed on the board at the back by a through screw 17 and at the front by a screw 18 extending down through the overstanding guide 12.
To support the hanger from a clothes pole 19 or the like it is shown equipped with hooks 20, 21 pivoted to the underside of the board at 22 and having angled extensions 23 engageable with the underside of the board to limit the lifting movement of the hooks to a position such as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 which will support the board andthe clamp bars in a generally horizontal relation.
The upper ends of the hook elements 20, 21 are shown joined by a cross connection 24 and a feature of this cross bar is that the intermediate portion of the sam-e is offset upwardly, as shown at 25, to enable the hooks to fold lower down over the bars as illustrated in Fig. 5 and is indicated in the broken lines in Fig. 3.
To steady the hanger in horizontal position and to take up the thrust of inserting garments between the bars a brace is provided engageable, for instance, with the wall at the back of a closet.
Thils `feature is shown particularly in Fig. 3 where the brace is indicated at 26 in the form of a slide slotted at 27 to shift longitudinally over guide screw 28 and the lower end of screw 17, the lat-ter carrying a thumb nut 29 by which the brace may be secured in position to bear against fthe back wall or other support 30.
The bars 8 being yieldingly held together and against the intermediate stationary bar 8a, may open up as need be to receive garments of varying weight and thickness. For the heavier garments more pressure may be required .to force them into position between the clamp bars. The brace at the back is `of great assistance in such cases, enabling as much pressure as needed to ybe applied without shifting of the hanger from the level, horizontal position.
The outer free ends of the lbars 8 are rounded as indicated at 8 to guide and facilitate the entry of garments between the adjoining spring pressed bars.
What is claimed is:
A skirt and pants hanger comprising a board, a guide rod mounted on said board, a plurality of straight flat bars in parallel side-by-side relation on said board and projecting beyond one edge of said board to admit garments to be clamped therebetween, one of said bars at the center of the group of bars being iixedly secured on the board and the other bars at opposite sides of said xedly secured bar being slidingly engaged on said guide rod, -a bracket overstanding said slidably mounted bars and confining said bars in parallel slidable relation on the board, levers pivoted on the board at opposite sides of said slidably mounted bars and engaging the outermost of said slidable bars, a spring drawing said levers toward each other to hold the slidable bars tensioned toward the flxedly mounted bar and la pair `of hooks pivotally mounted on the board and having a bar connecting the free ends of the same, extending across the top of the clothes clamping bars and oiset upwardly to permit the hooks being lowered down over said clothes clamping bars.
