M. H. CAZIER & A. P. DIKE. AUTQMATIG FOLDING GLOTHES -HAI IGER.
APPLICATION FILED DEC} 29, 1906 UNITED STATE PATIENT @FFIQE.
MARION I-I. OAZIER AND ALBYN P. DIKE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
AUTOMATIC FOLDING CLOTHE S-HANGER.
Application filed December 29, 1906.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, MARION II. CAZIER and ALBYN P. DIKE, citizens of the United States, residing in the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Automatic Folding Clothes-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to devices for suspending garments when not'in use, and has particular reference to coat hangers which have a multiplicity of arms centrally hinged together. It is very desirable that these devices should be so constructed that the arms can be folded together so that the whole will occupy a minimum amount of space when packed for transportation. Our invention permits this to be done by folding the arms downwardly, which makes the most compact form. At the same time it provides a simple, convenient and automatic look by which the arms may be held in the rigid clothes supporting position or released when it is desired to fold them.
The principles of our invention are illus trated in the drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a back view of our device when in position for hanging clothing thereon; Fig. 2 is an enlarged front view of the pivoted arms, the garment carrying blades being broken away; Fig. 3 is a top viewof a similar portion; Fig. 1 shows the arms swung upward to release the locking device; Fig. 5
shows the device in the folded position, the
arms being swung downwardly, and Fig. 6 is a plan view of a blank from'which the arm supporting slide may be formed.
Further describing our invention with reference to the drawings, in which like characters of reference denote like parts through out: 1 and 2 are arms having vertically placed portions pivotally secured together by the rivet 3. Said arms are preferably given a half turn at the points 44 and on the horizontal end portions, properly ourved,
are mounted the blades or leaves 5-5. A
sliding clip 7has a slot 8 and is secured to the Specification of Letters Patent.
, Patented June 9, 1908.
Serial No. 350,010.
cipal or body portion 10 on thefront of the device. by turning two lugs 11 and 12 to the rear of the device. The latter lug 12 should. only, by preference, be of a length corresponding to the thickness of the arm 2, while the lug 11 should have an additional length sufficient to extend over the arm 2 and engage the extreme end 1 of the arm 1. On the upper edge of said slide and at the other end a lug 14 is turned toward the front of the device, extending sufliciently forward to be engaged by the lower portion 9 of the suspending hook when the latter is in the vertical or suspending position. All of the projections or lugs 11, 12 and 14 are preferably formed integrally with the body portion of the slide to which also may be attached a hook 15 from which other garment supporting devices, as, for instance, a trousers hanger, may be suspended. A plan view of a blank from which the said slide may be formed by bending the parts appropriately to form said. lugs and. hook, is shown in Fig. 6.
The several parts as shown in Fig. 1 are in position to hold the device in the garment suspending position. When it is desired to fold the same the arms may be turned up wardly, as shown in Fig. 4. The upper part of the arm 1 will engage the edge 11 of the lug 11, thereby sliding it on the arm 2 to such a position that when the arms are swung downwardly the point 1 of arm 1 will clear the lug 11 and permit the arms to be folded downwardly into the position shown in Fig. 5, in which position the blades 5 will be in contact with each other, while the hook 9 may be turned down in contact therewith, thus making a very compact device for traveling or shipment. When it is desired to open the arms they are simply lifted into their normal relation and the hook is lifted to the suspending position. In being so lifted the portion 9 comes in contact with the edge 14 of the lug 14. The slide is thereby moved so that the lug 7 again comes into the position shown in Fig. 1 in which it overhangs the extremity 1 of the arm 1, thereby locking the arms against depression by weight placed thereupon.
Having thus described the principles of our device we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent the following:
1. In a foldable coat hanger, garment supporting arms secured to each other by a piv- It is given parallel motion thereto otal attachment, a clip slidably mounted on one arm and adapted to engage the other arm against depression, and means for limiting the movement of said slidable clip on said arms.
2. In a foldable coat hanger, garment supporting arms secured. to each other by a pivotal attachment, a clip slidably mounted on one arm and adapted to engage the other arm against depression, and means for engaging said clip With the pivotal attachment whereby its movement on said arms is limited.
3. In a foldable coat hanger, arms pivotally attached to each other, a clip slidably mounted on one arm, and a lug on the clip adapted to engage the other arm and hold the tWo in operative position.
4. In a foldable coat hanger, garment supporting arms, a slotted clip slidable on one arm to engage the other arm, and a rivet passing through the arms and the slot in the clip to secure them in operative relation.
5. In a foldable coat hanger, garment supporting arms pivoted together, a clip mounted thereon, a suspending hook pivoted to the arms and adapted by movement to engage said clip and move it into operative relation to the arms.
6. In a foldable coat hanger, arms pivoted together, a clip slidable on one arm, and a lug on the clip to engage the extremity of the other arm.
7. In a foldable coat hanger, arms pivoted together, a clip slidable on one arm and adapted to engage the other arm, and a suspending hook adapted When placed in operative position to engage the clip and move it into the arm engaging position.
8. In a foldable coat hanger, arms pivoted. together, a clip slidable on one arm adapted to engage the other arm, a lug on the clip, and a suspending hook adapted When placed in operative position to engage the lug on the clip and move said clip into the arm engaging position.
9. In a foldable coat hanger, arms pivoted together, a suspending hook, a clip slidable on one arm, and a multiplicity of lugs on the clip, one of said lugs being adapted to be en gaged by the hook and the other to engage the second arm and support the same.
In Witness whereof, We have hereunto set our hands, this 11th day of December A. D. 1906, in the presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses.
