DANIEL A. WEDMOEE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO PHILADELPHIA ORNAMENTAL WIRE COMPANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.

SKIRT AND SUIT HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 24, 1907.

Application filed February 19,1906. Serial No. 301,812.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL A. WEDMoRE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirt and Suit Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to supports for skirts, or like apparel; it is formed of wire in ornamental form and of strong construction; there are multiple supports for various waist sizes of garments, and it is adapted to be suspended close up to the inner top of a closet, wardrobe or the end of a suit case, to economize the space.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which similar parts bear similar characters of reference, in which Figure 1 is an elevation view.

By reference to Fig. 1 it will be seen that the supporter is formed of two pieces of wire,. one piece being formed into a suspension hook I then carried down and at 2 it is intertwined with wire 3 for some distance when each wire is outwardly curved at 4, then each with a long sweep 5 curves upwardly and outwardly and is doubled at 6 and thereafter oppositely bent, at

78, 910, l112, 13-14, these bends form upwardly tending supports 16, 17, 18, 19 whereon the supported garments are suspended, 19 being for small waist skirts and 16 for large waist skirts, while 17, 18 are for intermediate sizes. After bends 14 the wires are carried inward at 20 to points beyond bends 4, where at 21 they are bent around parts 5, 20 and secure all parts rigidly together. This construction enables each garment to be independently supported.

As both sides are alike, or duplicates, after leaving curves 4, only one side has been described and marked with reference characters.

I claim:

1. In a garment hanger, two wires twisted together to form a central support, each wire thereafter outwardly and upwardly curved and formed in opposite pairs of loops, each pair of loops being of decreased extension until reaching a point opposite said support, when each wire is carried inwardly to a point beyond the central support, and looped around the opposite wire.

2. In a, garment hanger, a pair of wires intertwined to form a central support, then bent inopposite upwardly and outwardly directions, then formed into supporting loops each pair of which is of a diflerent degree of exten sion, the wires at the lower loops being extended to and clusping the opposite one beyond the twisted part.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

DANIEL A. WEDMORE.
