TROUSERS-HANGER. 4

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 12, 1907.

Application filed February 1905. Serial No. 846,446.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT J. LINKLATER, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing in Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trousersgarment, whereby t e garment is sustained throughout its' width and hangs perfectly from the support. I

Another feature has reference to the arrangement of a number of individual holders on a single vertical support or pivot to simplify the construction and so that they may e swung laterally thereon independently of each other. Y

The principal objects of the invention are to prov1de for perfect support of thegarment in unwrinkled condition, to enable the gardrawings, in whichi mentary side elevation of the device,

ment to be easily and quickly hung in place or removed therefrom, and to conveniently sup ort a number of trousers in a comparetive y small space and so that any pair may be flllllckly removed or replaced.-

e invention also relates to certain other features and'details of construction, which will be hereinafter describedand claimed, reference being had to the-accompanying F igurel 1s aside elevation of my improved device attached to awall and with a fragment of the lower ported there y. Fig. 2 1s a top plan view of the improved device. Fig. 3 1s a front elevation of the improved device. Fig. 4 is an enlarged top plan view of a fragment of one of the supports. Fig. 5 is an .enlargedFfrag 1g. 7 is a fragmentary section on line a a, Fig.5. Fig. 7 is an enlarged section through one of the-supports and a fragment of a garment sustained thereby on line b b, Fig. 1. In referring to the details of construction like numerals desi nate like parts. d

The features 0? invention comprehended in this device consist in the curved feature of the holding portion of the hanger and the 'dividu'al holders are pre ortion of a pair of trousers supsupporting of a plurality of individual holders in different horizontal planes from a single vertical means, so that the trousers hang at different heights and in such a manner that any one'of the holders may be moved to conveniently hang or remove trousers thereto constitute two spring trousers-sustaining members 2 and'3.' The members 2 and 3 are about equal in length to the width of the trousers-leg at or near the bottom and are curved to correspo d to'the curve of the top edge of the la ped ortion of the trousers-leg bottom, so that t e trousers-legs are .sustained throughoutl their width, and thus hung perfectly frorh the members. One of the wlresextends inward in a substantially straight direction from the twisted portion 1 and constitutes a substantially horizontal member 4, which is rovided at its inner end with an eye 5, and t e other wire extends for a comparativel short distance beneath the horizontal mom or 4 to support the same and then bends diagonally downward to form abrace 6. The lower end of the brace is bent formed into an eye 7 A plurality of the inerably employed, being pivotally supported from a single vertical su port, so that they may be turned or swung aterally thereon. This is preferably formed of wire and has a vertical main portion 8, the op osite ends of which are first bent at an ang e to extend substantially horizontaland constitute upper and lower supporting- shoulders 9 and 10 and then bent to again extend vertically and each curled upon itself at its extreme end to form upper and lower eyes 11 and 12, through w ch suitable fastening devices, such as the screws 13, (shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3,) are fitted to secure the support to a wall or other suitable point 14 as shown in Fig 1. The purpose of the diagonal brace 6 is to separate the individual holders sufficiently from each other for convenient manipulation and also strengthen and stiffen the supporting of the holders from the vertical supportindg-wire by supporting the holders at two wi sly-separated vertical points. I

The trousers are supported in inverted osition by fitting the lower ends of the legsetween the members 2 and 3, being held in place by the double thickness of the lower extremities of the trousers-legs, caused by the folding. of the bottoms thereof upon themselves, as shown in Figs. 1 and 7.

The advantages of this invention reside in the simplicity and cheapness of construction, in the fact that the individual holders are sup orted in a verticalrow on a' sin le vertica support and at different elevatlons, so that the trousers hang at different heights to permit the larger or body portions thereof to clear each other, and thus fit more closely together without wrinkling. The supporting of the trousers at different heights also enables the quick and convenient picking out are adapted to be slipped to suspend the trousers in inverted position from the hanger and extend at an angle from each other from the opposite end of the intermediate part to provide vertically-separated means of attachment to a suitable support.

2. A tr0usershanger including two wires having outer portions extending parallel and in proximity between which the lower extremities of trousers are adapted to be slipped to suspend the trousers in inverted position from the hanger, intermediate intertwisted portions for mutual support and inner portions extending at an angle to provide separated means of attachment to a'suitable support and provided at their inner ends with eyes. I

3. In combination, a vertical support and mounted m a vertical row 'on said. support, each of said individual holders being arranged at a different horizontal plane whereby the trousers are supported at difierent heights and comprising two wires having outer portions extending parallel and in proximity between the lower extremity of trousers and slipped to support them therefrom in inverted position, intermediate portions which are twisted together for mutual support, and inner portions having eyes encircling the vertical su port and WhlCh are separated to stifien t e supporting of the holders from the vertical support, substantially as set forth.

4. In combination, a vertical support adapted to be attached to any convenient point, and a mounted on sa1d vertical support in a vertical row whereby said trousers-holders are in different horizontal planes and su port the trousers at different heights, eac of said holders comprising two Wires having outer portions extending parallel and in proximity etween which trousers are adapted to be supported, intermediate intertwisted portions for mutual sup ort, and inner portions one of which exten s diagonally downward and inward from the intertwisted portions -a plurality of individual trousers-holders plurality of trousers-holders and has an eye at its end encircling the support, and the other of which extends su stantially horizontal inwardly and also has an eye encircling the support whereby each support is supported at two different points to stiffen its support and also separate the holders sufficient venient manipulation.
