ABSTRACT: A bar for supporting a plurality of garment hangers, the bar being positioned at a relatively low elevation so to be convenient for a small child for hanging his clothes himself or removing his clothes therefrom, the bar being adjustably suspended from opposite ends of the conventional bar used by adults for supporting garment hangers supporting adults clothing.
PATENTED 0m SIBYI //V I/E/VTOE CIIILDS GARMENT SUPPORTING ROD FOR HANGING I-IIS CLOTHES SPECIFICATION This invention relates generally to bars for supporting clothing garment hangers. More specifically the present invention relates to garment-hanger-supporting bars such as are mounted within closets of a home.
A principle object of the present invention is to provide a child's rod to permit him to hang his won clothing.
It is generally well known that conventional bars supporting garment hangers are located at a relatively high elevation and are designed for use by adults who accordingly are able to easily reach the same when hanging a garment into a closet or removing a garment therefrom. Such bars are too high for use by small children who accordingly are unable to use the same.
Accordingly it is another object of the present invention to provide a child's rod that is positioned at a low elevation so as to be easily reached by a small child so to place or remove garments therefrom.
Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a child's rod which accordingly will promote good habits of orderliness with a childs clothing by promoting the placement of garments into a closet instead of allowing the same to be thrown about.
Still another purpose of the present invention is to provide a child's rod which can be selectively adjusted in height so as to be adaptable to the child's growth in height.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide a child's rod which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged in construction, easy to use and efficient in operation.
These and other objects will be readily evident upon a study of the following specification and the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of a closet showing the present invention mounted there within,
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of the present invention, and
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 3-3 of FIG. 2, and shown enlarged.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, the reference numeral represents a child's bar according to the present invention wherein there is a bar assembly 11 made preferrably of tubular material and including an outer tube 12 and an inner tube 13, one end of the inner tube being slideable within the outer tube 12 so to form a telescopic unit that is readily adaptable for any length of closet.
The outer end of each of the tubes 12 and 13 are each provided with a slot 14 for securement to a strap 15, as shown in FIG. 2 of the drawing.
The strap 15 may be made of leather or other fabric material, the strap having one end thereof folded over, as shown at 16 so to form an enlarged mass and secure together by a rivet 17. The enlarged mass is inserted into the opening 18 of either of the tubes 12 and 13 thereby preventing the end of the strap from slipping out of the slot 14. The strap 15 is inserted through an opening 19 in the lower end of a hook member 20 and the terminal end of the strap, as shown at 21, is inserted through a buckle 22, the terminal end 21 of strap being provided with a plurality of openings 23 for selectively engaging a buckle pin 24, thus adjusting selectively the length of the strap 15.
In operative use, as shown in FIG. 1 of the drawing, the hooks 20 are placed over a conventional garment hanger bar 25 such as is mounted within a closet 26, such garment hanger bar 25 being usually positioned below a top shelf 27 upon which hats 28 and hat boxes 29 are usually stored. Such a garment hanger bar 25 is at an elevation accordingly adapted only for adults but which is excessively too high for use by small children.
In the present invention, the hooks 20 thus allow the childs bar to be brouglht to a comfortably low elevation so that even the smallest chi d has an access thereto so as to hang garments 30 therefrom and easily remove garments therefrom. As the child grows, the strap 15 may be taken up by relocating the pin 24 in different openings 23 of the strap thereby allowing the present invention to serve for a relatively long period of time.
Due to the telescopic feature of the tubes comprising the bar 11, the present invention is readily adaptable for any length of closet, as is shown in FIG. 1. It is to be noted that the normal use of the closets by adults for supporting garments is not impaired by the present invention and permits the garment to be supported from the normal garment hanger bar 25 and which may depend to rear or a front side of the child's bar 11.
Thus there has been provided a childs rod which will promote orderliness for a child and permit access to his clothes himself.
What I now claim is:
I. In a child s garment-supporting rod, the combination of a rod assembly comprised of a telescoping bar and means at each end thereof for support from a conventional garment hanger bar of a closet, said telescoping bar being comprised of an outer tube and an inner tube, one end of said inner tube being slidable within one end of said outer tube so to provide adjustable length and conform with a conventional length of closet, the outer end of each of said tubes being provided with a slot, said slot receiving one end of a supporting strap, said end of said supporting being doubled over and riveted to form an enlarged mass so to prevent slipping through said slot, said strap being inserted through a slot formed in a hook member receivable over a conventional garment hanger bar of said closet, and said strap including a buckle for adjusting the length of said strap, said buckle including a pin selectively receivable within one of a plurality of openings formed near one end of said strap.
