COMBINATION GARMENT-HANGER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 8, 1909.
Patented Nov. 23. 1909. Serial No. 494,733.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, ARTHUR A. TANDER- roan, a citizen of the United States, residing at Peru, in the county of Nemaha and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Combination Garment-Hanger, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to combination clothes hangers and has for its object to provide a device of this character that can easily be disassembled and will take up a minimum amount of space when packed in a grip or suit case.
Another object is to provide a device of this character that can easily be assembled and hung on any convenient hook, and when in this posltion will support an entire sun; of
clothes.
Still another object is to provide a device that will be simple and durable and will be reliable under varying conditions of usage.
lVith these and other objects in view, which will be described in the following specification and set forth in the claims, my invention embraces the structure illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a perspective view of the assembled device. Fig. 2 is a detail of the hangerpartly in section.
One trouble experienced by travelers in the ,use of the usual form of combination clothes hangers is that the hanger cannot be compactly packed away and another trouble is that often the hanger is composed of linked members and when one of the members becomes lost as is often the case, the remaining members cannot be assembled. To obviate both of the above named difficulties I have invented a clothes hanger that collapses flat on the bottom of a traveling grip and each of the parts is separately secured to the main bracket whereby the device may be assembled even when one of the parts is missing.
Referring now to the drawing, in which like characters of reference designate similar parts in the views shown, 1 is a wall plate having formed adjacent its corners openings 2 whereby to secure the wall plate to a convenient hook or sidewall. The wall plate 2 is provided on its inner face with brackets 3 and 4, adapted to yieldingly hold correspondingly arranged brackets 5 and 6 on the vertical securing arm 7 of the frame 8. The frame 8 terminates in a downwardly projecting arm or standard 9 and is provided with upstanding lugs 10 on its sides at the whereby the proper upper end of said standard while similar upstanding lugs or cars 11 are provided on the sides of the standard near the lower end thereof. At the lower end of the standard is a horizontal rearwardly projecting arm 12 provided with the lugs or ears 13 at its extremity.
The coat hanger consists essentially of a standard or suspending portion It and the laterally extending arms 15 at the lower end of said standard, provided with the detachable loops 16. These loops are suitably se cured at their opposed inner ends to sleeves 17, slidingly fitted to opposite ends of the laterally extending arms 15 of the coat hanger, the purpose of this construction being to adapt the hanger for adjustment to fit different sizes of coats, for, as may be readily seen by referring to Fig. 1, the sleeves are slid on the arms 15 toward or away from the standard 14, the distance between the opposite ends of the loops 16 is correspondingly shortened or lengthened adjustment may be made. The standard 14: is provided at its upper end with a horizontal lip adapted to rest upon the upper side of the arm 12 and extend between the lugs or cars 13 at the end of the same, the said lip being provided at its extremity with depending lugs or ears adapted to engage in front of the ears or lugs 13, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, and thereby detachably secure the parts together.
A pants hanger is provided having a shank 18 terminating at its upper end in a bent over portion or horizontal arm 19 adapted to rest upon the upper side or edge of the frame 8 and extend between the lugs or ears 1O thereon, the arm 19 being provided at its extremity on its opposite edges with depending lugs or ears adapted to engage behind the said ears 10 and thereby support the hanger in position. Pivotally mounted, as at 20, on the upper face of the arm 19 is a hat holding finger 21. This finger projects outward over the arm 19 when the device is in operative position, but when the device is not in use, it is swung around so as to lie under the said arm and against the shank 18, the purpose of this construction and arrangement being to facilitate the packing of the device in a minimum amount of space. The shank 18 of the pants hanger extends between through the lugs or ears 11 and terminates in a clamping jaw 22. Pivoted at a point 23, intermediate the ends of said shank is a member 24, terminating at one end in a jaw 25 adapted to work in conjunction with the opposed clamping jaw 22. A spring 26, seated on the pivot 23 exerts an outward pressure on the clamping members when in normal condition, thereby keeping the clamping jaws spread apart. For yieldingly holding the clamping jaws together, a latch 27 is pivoted on the end of the clamping member 2%, adjacent the pivot 23. This latch when in upright or operative position bears against the shank 18 of the pants hanger and forces outward the end 28 of the pivoted clamping member 2 1 thereby causing the clamping jaws to be held together. This latch when raised also forms a support for the hat holding finger should said finger be bent downward by the weight of a hat.
To assemble the device, the bracket-s on the securing arm of the frame are placed in engagement with the brackets on the wall plate, the coat hanger suspending portion 14 engaged over the lower projecting arm 12 of the frame 8, and the horizontal arm 19 of the pants hanger hooked over the end of the upper horizontal arm of the frame as described and as clearly shown in Fig. 1 with the shank of the pants hanger resting against and supported by the outer edge of the vertical arm of the frame. The assembled hanger may be hung on a convenient hook by means of the openings formed in the wall plate.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the construction and operation of the invention may be easily understood without a more extended explanation, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be made without sacrificing any of the advantages or departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having described my invention, what'I claim is 2- 1. The combination of a supporting frame, a hanger resting against the front end of the frame, and provided at its upper end with an overhanging arm resting upon the upper side of the frame, and a finger hinged to the end of said overhanging arm and adapted to project beyond the end of the frame.
2. The comblnation of a frame having an arm provided with upstanding lugs on itssides, and a hanger having an arm adapted to rest upon the said arm of the frame and pass between the upstanding lugs thereon, and provided at its end with depending lugs adapted to pass on opposite sides of the frame arm and engage the upstanding lugs on the same.
3. The combination of a frame having a horizontal and a vertical arm, lugs projecting from each of said arms at the opposite sides of the same, a hanger resting against the said vertical arm between the lugs thereon, and an overhanging arm at the upper end of the hanger resting upon the horizontal arm of the frame between the lugs thereon and provided at its extremity with lugs adapted to pass on opposite sides of the horizontal arm of the frame and engage the lugs on the same.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
