JOHN E. NELSON, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.

APPAREL-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led November 4, 1904. Serial No. 231.3605@ Patented Dec;` 12, 1905.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN E. NELSON, of Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparel-Hangers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hangers for apparel, and more particularly to that class which provides retaining means for hat, coat, and umbrella. y

The object of the invention is to provide a device of this character formed from a single piece of wire.

It is also an obj ect of the invention to form, in combination with the invention, means whereby the same may be easily applied to a wall or any other suitable place.

A further object of the invention is to produce a device of this character that will be simple in construction, economical in manufacture, and efficient in practice.

With the above and other objects in view lthe invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication,wherem- Figure 1 is a view in perspective of one form of the invention, and' Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of a slightly-modified form.

The invention consists of a single piece of wire bent at one end to form the horizontallydisposed circular loop 1. A portion 2 of the wire then extends inward on the same plane with the loop 1 to about the center thereof and then depends on an incline in acompound-curved neck 3. The wire is then bent to form the small loop 4, which is on an approximately vertical plane. The wire then extends down on a vertical line 5 and is then bent at right angles to form the horizontallydisposed loop 6. The portion 7 of the wire is then bent u parallel with the portion 5 until it reaches tiie loop 4, when the wire is then bent out at right angles, as at 8and then doubled upon itself, as at 9. The free end of the portion 9 passes through the loop 4 and is screw-threaded, as at 10.

To use the device, the same is secured to a wall or other suitable place by means of the screw-threaded portion 10, with the loop 1 at the top. hat. The doubled portions 8 9 form a hook adapted to support a coat or other similar article, and the loop 6 is adapted to receive and support an umbrella.

In the device shown in Fig. 2 the features of the invention are similar to Fig. 1, with the exce tion of the umbrella-supporting means. The oop a has the inclined depending neck b, terminating in the hook c. The wire is then extended downwardly, as at d, and is then bent at right angles and doubled upon itself, as ef, to form the split ring g. Centrally of the portion f at the rear thereof, the wire is bent to form the loop h, through which passes the portion k, which extends parallel to the portion d. The remainder of the device is formed as in Fig. 1. In this form (shown in Fig. 2) it is permitted to spring the umbrella into its support instead of dropping it, as would be the case in the device illustrated in Fig. 1.

The operation and construction of the invention is thought to be clearly apparent from the foregoing description, it being noted that all changes may be resorted to that fairly fall within the scope of the invention without sacrificing the value thereof.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim' as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a device of the character described, a hat-support comprising a loop on approximately a horizontal plane with an inturned The loop 1 is adapted to support a' portion on the same plane with the loop and extending to about the center thereof, an arm depending from the inturned portion, an eye formed by bending the arm on an approximately vertical plane, a split ring at the bottom of the arm formed by bending the material on itself, an eye above the ring formed by bending the material around the arm, the said material being extended parallel with the arm for a suitable distance, a hook formed by doubling the material on itself in a plane at right angles to the lower portion of the arm, the extremity of the material passing through the vertical eye and forming a securing means, the whole device being made of a single piece of material.

JOHN E. NELSON.
