UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
RICHARD NORRIS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
GARMENT-HANGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 680,168, dated August 6, 1901.
Application filed May 31, 1900. Serial No. 18,574- (No model.)
T 41. whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD NoRRIs, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
-This invention contemplates certain new and usefulimprovements in garment hangers.
The primary object of the invention is to provide means for hanging or suspending wearing-apparel such as ladies shirt-waists, skirts, and coats, and also mens coats and waistcoats -in such manner that they may be conveniently placed in and removed from position.
The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of one of the hangers, parts being indicated in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional View on line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows the cord held in the adjusting-rod. Figs. 4 and 5 show modifications.
Referring to the drawings, A is the garment-hanger proper. It is in the form of a bow, the bend or curvature of which may be increased or decreased to accommodate different garments. The essential requisites are a bowed strip, a flexible connection between the ends capable of being lengthened or shortened, and means at the center of the bowed strip by which the device may be suspended. In the preferred form of construction, 1 is the bowed strip, consisting of a single wire. strip. head, and 4: is a cord passed through an opening in said rod and having balls 5 on its ends formed with openings to receive the ends of the strip 1. By turning rod 3 the cord 4 may be wound thereon, thus increasing the bend or curvature of the bowed strip. For this purpose the locking connection between rod 3 and head 2 may be readily adjusted. Such connection is shown as composed of a pin 6, carried by the rod and designed to fit in any one of a series of slots 7 in said head. The
2 is a head located at the center of the 1 3 is a rod passed through a hole in said bow of the curved strip may be varied by adjusting the position of the head longitudinally on the rod. On the upper end of rod 3 is a hook 8, the curvature of which permits head 2 to be easily inserted on and removed from a suspending-rod. On the other end of the rod is a screw-eye 9. By grasping the head and moving the rod longitudinally the pin 6 will be removed from the head, and
.after the rod is turned, winding the cord thereon, it is again moved longitudinally, replacing the pin in one of the slots of the head. In lieu ofmaking the bowed strip in one continuous piece it may be composed of two arms 10, pivoted in cut-outs 11 in opposite sides of head 2, (see Fig. 5,) the downward move ments of the arms being limited by shoulders 12. By this arrangement when the balls 5 are removed from the ends of arms the latter may be folded toward rod 3, as shown in dotted lines.
In Fig.4 I have shown a hook 13 screwed directly into head 2", and the cord 4. formed in two parts with a central connecting-plate 14:, the cord being capable of being tightened or loosened. By this arrangement the curvature of the bowed strip is controlled by the length of the cord.'
I claim as my invention- 11A garment-hanger comprisinga bow composed of a single wire, a hook located centrally of said wire, balls on the ends of said wire, a connection between said balls, and
means intermediate the ends of said connection by which the curvature of the bow may be regulated.
2. A garment-hanger comprising a bow of flexible material, a rod located centrally of said bow, a cord connecting the ends of the bow and in engagement with said rod, and means whereby said rod may be adjusted to wind the cord thereon to regulate the curvature of the bow, substantially as set forth.
.3. A garment-hanger comprising a bow, a rod intersecting said bow at its center, means for detachably locking said rod to said bow, and a flexible connection between the ends of said bow engaging said rod, as set forth.
4. A garment-hanger comprising a how, a head thereon, a rod passed through said head, a flexible connection between the ends of the bow engaging said rod, and means for ad- 6. A garment-hanger comprising a bow,'a :0 head on said bow, having a series of slots, a
rod inserted throughsaid head haying a stop designed to enter any one of said slots, and a flexible-connection betweenthe ends of the bow engaging said rod, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribin g witnesses.
RICHARD NORRIS.
