Wifnaoseo UNITED STATES PATENT onnron- JOHN D. WALKER, OF BRIS'BIN, PENNSYLVANIA;

GARMENT-SUPPGRT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 16, 1909.

Application filed June 15, 1908. Serial No. 438,635.

)airsof trousers may be supported from the i anger, and a further object is to provide means for holding the breast of the coat in shape.

The invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts WlllCl']. will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a. view in perspective; and Fig. 2 is a view showing one of the members folded up.

A re )resents a curved or arch shaped member, which is connected to a rod 1 at its ends and connected at about, the center of the member is a bracket 2 for supporting it. A brace 3 depends from the outer end of the bracket 2, its lower cnd being bent laterally as at 4, and thence upwardly, and a rod 1 extends through orifices formed in the main portion of the brace 23 and said upturned end. The brace 3 is connected to the member A to afi'ord a central support. Connected to the end 4 of the brace 3 is the trousers hanger 5, the ends of the hanger 5 being bent to form horizontal spring jaws 6, 6 in which are re 1 ceived the trousers.

-Pivotally connected to the rod 1 is a mem ber 10 by having the rod 1. passing through thoonds thereof. An arm 11 is connected to the member 10 and the rod 1 extemlsthrough the other end of the arm. This arm affords a brace and support for the central portion of the'member 10. The member 10 is adapted to be drawn downwardly so that it extends at right angles to the member A' and is held in this position by the arm 11 resting upon the angular end portion 4 of the brace 33. The ends of the member A are bent parallel with the rod 1 for a short distance as at 7, 7 to afford a support for the member 10 when in its extended position. When the member 10 is in this position it holdsthe front of the coat out to keep the same in proper sha c and prevent it from raging in toward tie main portion of the hanger; When not in use the member 10 can be folded up against the brace asthe member 1.0 is somewhat smaller than the member A and is supported upon the rod 1 between the ends-of the meniber A.

It is evident that slight changes might be made in the form and arrangement of the several parts described without departing from the spirit'and scope of my invention and hence 1 do not wish to limit myself to the 5 exact construction herein set forth, but:

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

1; A garment support comprising two bow-shaped members A and 10, a rod pivotally connecting the outer ends of these members together, braces extending from the centers of the bows to the rod, and means forsupporting bow 10 in a horizontal position.

2. As an article of manufacture, a garment supporter comprising a bracket, abowshaped member rigidly secured to the outer end of the bracket and having its extreme ends bent inwardly toward each other to form shoulders, a rod connecting said ends, a bow pivoted at its ends to the opposite ends of said rod and adapted to rest on said shoulders when in its outward position.

As an article of manufacture, a garment supporter comprising a bracket, a bowshaped memberrigidly secured to the outer end of the bracket and having its extreme ends bent inwardly toward each other to form shoulders, a rod connecting said ends, a bow pivoted at its ends to the opposite ends of said rod and adapted to rest on said shoulders when in its outward position, and a brace extending from the bracket to the rod thence ben ath and arallel with the rod, and a brace extending from the pivotally sup- )orted bow to the rod at a point above the horizontal position of the first-montioned brace whereby support is afforded for the brace of the pivoted bow when in its extended position.

In testimony whcrcofl allix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
