GARMENT-HANG ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 737,252, dated August 25, 1903.

' Application filed June 29, 1903. Serial No. 163,558. (No model.) v

To all whom/it may concern:

Be it known that LFEEDERICK W. LEIMBER- GER, a citizen of the United States of America, and aresident of Cincinnati, county of I-Iamilton, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment- Hangers, of which the following is a specifica tion.

The object of my invention is a garmenthanger for coats and trousers or for jackets and skirts which may be produced at small expense, which holds the garments in shape, and upon which the garments may be placed readily and likewise from which they may be easily removed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of the specification, Figure 1 is a front.

a, has at its center an upwardly-projecting- U curve a, upon which a hook B is pivoted, and midway between the ends and the center two downwardly-projecting U curves a a upon which are pivoted two" vertical rods C C, the lower ends of which are formed integral with or secured to a secondary bar D.

A sliding bar E has eyelets e e formed at its ends to engage vertical rods C C, so that the bar E may slide readily up and down upon the vertical rods. I

To insert a garment in the skirt or trousers hanger, it is thrown over bar E in its raised position and the shorter end of the garment is drawn inward between the bar E and the secondary bar D. The sliding bar is then allowed to drop, as shown in Fig. 3. In this poondary'bar, and thus binds the garment se curely in place. When it is desired to disengage the garment, all that is necessary is to pull upward upon it,wl1e1 1 it will slidereadily out of engagement with thehanger.

It is seen from an inspection of this garment-hanger that it may be produced from wire, that the operations in its formation are simple and inexpensive, that the mode of inserting'a garment in place takes few steps, and that thegarments are readily removed from the hanger.

WVhat I claim is- 1. In a garment-hanger the combination of a main bar, a secondary bar below the-main bar, vertical rods coupling the main bar and the secondary bar, and a sliding rod upon the vertical rods, substantially as shown and de-' scribed.

2. In a-garment-hanger the combination of a main bar, vertical rods pivoted upon the main bar at their upper 'endsand at their lower ends connected to a secondary bar, the secondary bar, and a rod slidingupon the vertical rods, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a garment-hanger the combination of a main bar, a secondary bar, vertical rods coupling the main and the secondary bars, and a rod having eyelets at its ends to engage the vertical rods, substantially as shown and described. 1

4. The garment-hanger consisting of a main bar curved inward at its ends, a secondary bar below the mainbar, vertical rods coupling the two bars and a sliding rod engaging the vertical rods and sliding upon the same, substantially as shown and described.
