TROUSERS-HANGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 617,130, dated January 3, 1899. Application filed January 26, 1898. Serial No. 668,080. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANK SKINNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Trousers- IIangers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to devices for hanging trousers by their bottoms and so folded that when so suspended the creases got in wearing are drawn out by the mere weight of the garment itself.
In the accompanying drawing a side elevation of a trousers-hanger embodying my invention is shown, and in which a continuous piece of wire is shown bent backward and forward upon itself several times in a horizontal plane, forming the sides 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and the loops 6, '7, 8, and 9. The sides contiguous to each other constitute clamps having the spaces 10, 11, 12, and 13 between them. Into said spaces the folded bottoms of the trousers are introduced, and as there are four of them shown in the drawing four pairs of trousers may be accommodated. One of the said sides-namely, that numbered 3, which is the central oneis bent upward at right angles to the plane in which said sides lie and formed into the loop 14, by which loop the device may be suspended from a hook in the wardrobe. The peculiarity of my construction is that the said loops 6, 7, 8, and 9 are all bent on alternate sides of the sides 2, 3, and 4, leaving the bases of said loops perfectly flat where they come together when not in use, as at 15 and 18. This form of construction causes said sides to lie each one at an angle and not parallel with its adjacent fellow. The outmost sides 1 and 5, although their ends are bent to conform to the shape of the adjacent loops 7 and 8 for the purpose of making a proper finish only, also he at the same angle and not parallel with their adjacent fellows. At 15, 16, 17, and 13 are the openings through which the folded trousersbottoms are introduced between the said clamps. The object in having the sides 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 lie at an angle with each other and not parallel is that said sides may clamp said trousers-bottoms in a proper manner. The
spaces between said sides, where I have placed the numbers 10, 11, 12, and 13, are just wide enough to engage with the said trousers ends and clamp them sufficiently to hold them in place, while the remainder of said spaces, which tapers to said openings, is yielding to a degree necessary to allow the said sides to become parallel when the said trousers-bottoms are between them, thereby insuring a uniform firmness of pressure to hold said trousers ends properly. Theloops 6, '7, 8, and 9 act as springs to control the action of the adjacent sides.
I aim at simplicity, compactness, and capacity in my device, so that a man may be able to carry it in his valise should he so desire to do. In fact, the device shown in the drawings will accommodate four pairs of trousers and will not measure more than twelve inches in length by two inches in width.
I have shown the hook l4 placed in the center of the device to suspend it. It is evident I may place said hook upon one of the outmost sides 1 or 5 for that purpose, in which case the device when so supended hangs vertically.
\Vhat I claim is 1. A device for hanging trousers formed of a single piece of rod bent several times back and forth upon itself in a horizontal plane, to form a series of resilient clamps, loops formed at the points of bending, and having angular spaces between the adjacent lengths of the wire and extending from the loop on one side to the loop on the opposite side of the length of the wire, the loops acting as springs to control said clamps, and the rod being bent so as to form a central vertical loop and thus provide means for hanging the device up, substantially as shown.
2. A trousers-hanger consisting of a rod which is bent back and forth upon itself a suitable number of times in a horizontal plane to form a series of resilient clamps, loops formed at the points of bending and having their bases flat where they come in contact, and forming angular spaces between the adjacent lengths of the wire, and which extend from the loop on one side to the loop on the opposite side of the length of the wire, the loops acting as springs to control said clamps, substantially as described.
FRANK SKINNER.
