SUSPENSION MEANS FOR A GARMENT HANGER Filed Jan. 16, 1964 AWMW United States Patent 0 3,202,329 SUSPENSION MEANS FOR A GARMENT HANGER Hermann Schmidt, Unterm Born 3, Elze, Hannover, Germany Filed Jan. '16, 1964, Ser. No. 338,208 Claims priority, application Germany, Jan. 19, 1963, h 32,619 1 Claim. (Cl. 223-85) This invention relates to garment hangers, and more particularly to a plastic garment hanger having a novel suspension means for the body of the hanger.
There has long been a recognized need for garment hangers which can be efficiently associated with and suspended from a clothesline incident to the drying of wet garments such as nylon shirts, blouses, dresses and the like without the liability of staining or soiling the garment to be dried, and without the possibility of having the hanger accidentally disconnected from the clothesline.
With the commonly known garment hangers made of metal there is the possibility of getting rust stains on the garment, especially if the garment is wet. With the well known hanger made of wood there is also the danger of soiling the wet garment with wood stains.
One of the objects of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantage of soiling the garment by making the hangers of plastic material.
Another object of the present invention is to so design the hook of the hanger that it will be effectively connected to the clothesline so that it will not be accidentally detached from the clothesline during a wind or storm.
The features of the invention are shown in detail in the accompanying drawing wherein FIGURE l is a side elevation of the hanger which forms the subject matter of the present invention;
FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of a hanger constructed in accordance with my invention, associated with and locked on the clothesline; and
FIGURE 3 is a crosssectional view of the hanger taken on lines 3-3 of FIGURE 1.
Proceeding next to the drawing wherein like references indicate the same parts throughout the various views, a specific embodiment of this invention will be described. FIGURE 1 shows a side elevation of the plastic hanger comprising body 1 and a shank 2 extending at right angles from the body 1 and is integral therewith. The upper end of the shank 2 is formed into a sector-shaped hook 2c having a wide mouth opening. The shank extends substantially on a diametric line in relation to the sectorshaped hook. The upper portion of the hook opens into a narrow upwardly extending passageway which is in line with the shank. This passageway is formed by integral upwardly extending parallel closely spaced portions 2a which are joined at their outer ends by a curved portion 211. This extension on the sector-shaped book provides a slot to receive the clothesline when the hanger is hung thereon.
The hanger is integral and one piece throughout and is formed of a plastic, meaning any normally solid thermoplastic or thermosetting organic polymer such as polystyrene, polymers of vinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, cellulosic derivatives, e.g., acetate and butyrate, phenol-formaldehyde polymers, melamine-formaldehyde polymers.
In cross-section, the hanger is preferably T-shaped to provide rigidity thereto.
It is further contemplated to employ a locking means in combination with the clothesline receiving extension. In this connection a resilient Clothespin 3 is detachably clamped across the extensions on the hook. The resilient clothespin will operate to lock the hanger on the clothesline.
It will be understood that this invention is susceptible to modifications in order to adapt it to different usages and conditions, and, accordingly, it is desired to com prehend such modifications within this invention as may fall within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim as this invention is:
A unitary plastic garment hanger comprising an elongated body adapted to receive a garment, means for supporting said body comprising a shank extending at right angles from the body, having one end rigidly connected to the body and the other end curving into asector-shaped hook having a wide mouth opening; said shank extending substantially on a diametric line in relation to the sectorshaped hook; said hook, diametrically opposite said shank having an elongated extension providing a narrow outwardly extending closed end slot which is in substantial alignment with the shank; said slot being formed by integral outwardly extending parallel closely spaced portions of the hook; said spaced parallel portions being joined at their outer ends by a curved portion closing said slot and adapting said extension to receive a supporting member.
