Definitions

  • This invention pertains generally to garment hangers and more specifically to a garment hanger adapted to be employed as a shipping hanger for garment-on-hanger use, said garment hanger further having means for (1) precluding dislodgement of a garment from its hanger by dislodgement forces encountered during transportation and push/pull forces arising during normal manipulation of garments by customers in retail outlets and (2) nesting said hangers to any desired extent so that said hangers may be used in semi-automatic or automatic garment-to- hanger assembly operations.
  • the pulling out and pushing in motions of extracting a garment from one location on a rack and inserting the garment into another location on the rack can result in a garment on either the moved hanger or a racked hanger dropping its garment, or at least one side of the garment.
  • the time to straighten a rack is increased, much to the annoyance of the sales personnel.
  • the problem of contact between two hangers with resultant spillage also occurs in the absence of a need to change the physical location of a garment along the axis of a suspending rack. Specifically, during the course of a selling day adjacent garments will be pulled off the racks, or tilted upwardly for viewing, by customers, following which little or no effort is made to make sure that the viewed garment is returned to a level position. Indeed, at the end of a selling day, some hangers will be level, some will be tipped upwardly at their outer end (i.e.: the end closest to the customer), and some will be tipped upwardly at their inner end. The result is a very untidy appearance.
  • a hanger by its very design does not lend itself to neat, compact packaging and hence many hangers are shipped loose or in only a roughly aligned formation. In either event each hanger occupies the maximum shipping space defined by its maximum dimensions, and hence the number of hangers which can be shipped per cubic foot of shipping space is finite. It would be a great advantage for both the hanger manufacturer and the garment manufacturer to be able to ship hangers in a compressed or nested condition so that each hanger would occupy less space than the space its maximum dimensions define.
  • This invention is a garment hanger which overcomes all of the above described problems in a single hanger. Specifically, the garment hanger of this invention is manufactured so that each hanger nests within a similar hanger and, in turn, provides a nest for a similar hanger.
  • the hanger is so constructed that it is usable in a semi-automatic or automatic garment to hanger assembly operation and it will, (a) during transportation following assembly to a garment, (b) in the retail sales outlet, and (c) at all other times, grip a garment in such a fashion that the gripping pressure is not released and a garment dropped no matter how many shakes and bumps the hanger is subjected to during transportation or how quickly and carelessly garments are pulled from a rack and reinserted by customers, or pressed downwardly from above by the hands of a sales clerk passing over a series of hangers to bring the series into level alignment.

  • Figure 17 is an end view of the hanger shown in Figure 14 showing the position the jaws of the hanger assume when holding a garment, but with the garment omitted.
  • the garment hanger of this invention is particularly well suited for assembly to a garment at a remote garment manufacturing location and thereafter retention of the garment on the hanger until the hanger is separated from the garment at the retail sales outlet by a retail sales clerk or by the purchaser at his home.
  • the hanger will sometimes hereinafter be referred to as a "ship-on" hanger.
  • the ship-on hanger of this invention is indicated generally at 10 in Figures 1, 2 and 6.
  • the hanger includes a horizontal body, indicated generally at 11, hook means, indicated generally at 12, and left and right clamp assemblies, indicated generally at 13 and 14 respectively.
  • a hook boss is indicated generally at 15, the hook boss being, in this instance, formed integrally with the body 11 to provide a base or socket for receiving the tail section 16 of the hook means 12.
  • the hook means 12 can be either rigidly held in the hook boss 15 or be rotatable with respect thereto. Both systems are conventional in the art though the advantages of the invention may be more markedly appreciated when the hook means is non-rigidly received in the hook boss.
  • Body 11 is formed in the shape of an I-beam consisting of an upper flange 18, a lower flange 19, and a web 20.
  • the rear half 21 of upper flange 18 extends the length of the body and then, at its far left end portion, blends into and forms the upper surface 22 of left clamp assembly 13. By the same token the far right end portion blends into and forms the upper surface 23 of right clamp assembly 14.
  • the front half 25 of the upper flange 18 terminates a short distance from the ends of rear half 21 as indicated by the rounded end edges 26 and 27.
  • the rear half 30 of lower flange 19 terminates at the clamp assemblies which are located at the ends of the body as will be noted from the, in this instance, rounded end portions 31 and 32 in Figure 6.
  • the front half 33 of lower flange 19 terminates well short of the clamp assemblies at the ends of the body as will be noted from the, in this instance, tapered end portions
  • a pair of internal vertical beams which, in this instance, extend from both sides of the web are indicated at 36 and 37, the inner ends of the beams forming an abutment surface from which left and right guide ramps, indicated generally at 38 and 39, respectively, extend in an outward direction, the guide ramps functioning as deflecting means as will appear hereinafter.
  • Each deflecting ramp has an outward taper, as best seen in Figures 1, 3 and 4. From Figures 4 and 5 it will be noted that the horizontally outwardmost peripheral portions 40 and 41 of the outward taper is very closely aligned with the outside surface of the front half of its adjacent clamp assembly.
  • clamp assemblies 13 and 14 are mirror images of one another only one need be described of which left clamp assembly 13 best illustrates the structure and advantages of this portion of the invention.
  • left clamp assembly 13 includes a rear half 44 and a front half 45.
  • the rear surface 46 of the rear half 44 is, in this instance, flush with the edges of the upper and lower flanges 18 and 19.
  • a curved flange portion 47 extends outwardly and downwardly from the rear half 44 as best seen in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the right end 48 of curved flange portion 47 and left end edge 26 of the rear half of upper flange 21 are spaced apart to form an opening of a width sufficient to receive a U-shaped spring which is inserted from above to complete the assembly of the clamp as will be further amplified hereinafter.
  • An end shield is indicated at 50, the end shield 50 projecting outwardly from the downwardly extending portion of the curved flange portion 47, the end shield being therefore perpendicular to web 20. From Figure 5 particularly it will be noted that the outwardmost extending edge of end shield 50 lies in a plane which is substantially flush with the outside surface 51 of the front half 45 of the clamp assembly in a garment hanging condition.
  • the internal facing surfaces of the rear half 44 and front half 45 of the clamp assembly carry pivot structure which enables the two halves to pivot with respect to one another, in a conventional manner, under the resistance to separation provided by inverted U-shaped clamp spring 52.
  • the lower end of a clamp assembly on an upper hanger may project downwardly into the open maw formed at the upper end of the clamp assembly on a lower hanger.
  • Thumb locators indicated at 56 and 57 on the body of the hanger assist the user in smooth and efficient manipulation of the hanger.
  • the guide ramps 38 and 39, and the end shields 50, provide great advantages to the retail store operator.
  • the ramps 38 and 39 aid the user in getting a hung garment on and off a display rack.
  • the hanger of the pulled garment will strike the inclined surfaces of the guide ramp and deflect the pulled hung garment and its hanger outwardly away from contact with the outer half of a clamp assembly of the adjacent hung garment on the rack.
  • the edges of the clamp assemblies are not exposed to contact with a hung garment sliding in and out of the rack, and hence the opportunity for the clamp of a stationary hung garment being snagged and forced into an open position is eliminated.
  • the end shields 50 are particularly effective when hung garments are placed back onto a rack. Customers who have extracted a hung garment from a rack for observation are often quite careless in returning the garment which has just been observed back onto the rack. At the present time retail sales personnel are faced with the frequent task of picking up garments which have been completely or partially knocked off their hanger by careless and hurried handling by potential buyers. Since end shields 50 cover the outermost edges of the front halves of their associated clamp assemblies, there is no opportunity to snag a clamp on a racked garment and cause it to open and drop its garment.
  • the illustrated and described construction provides maximum rack density; the greater the number of garments which can be displayed per lineal foot of rack the greater will be the sales of garments.
  • the greater than usual drop of the clamp assemblies from the hanger body enables a spring clip of a much longer vertical dimension to be used than was heretofore customary.
  • the spring is able to reach down all the way to the tooth clamping areas of the inner portions of the jaws, and hence maximum spring derived clamping force is obtained.
  • creep of the clip during shipping of garments on hangers is eliminated and no garments are to be found lying in a crumpled heap at the bottom of the shipping container when it is opened at its destination.
  • a further advantage of the illustrated I-beam construction of the hanger body is that maximum strength can be obtained from a given quantity of material because of the high modulus of elasticity of the I-beam construction. In practical applications the thickness of the web and the flanges of the I-beam can be considerably thinner than has been the practice heretofore.
  • FIGs 8A through 8F Alternate embodiments of the number and location of the guide ramps are illustrated in Figures 8A through 8F.
  • a top ramp 60 and a bottom ramp 61 have been shown above and below center ramp 38; in Figure 8B only center ramp 38 and bottom ramp 61 has been shown; in Figure 8C only center ramp 38 and top ramp 60 have been shown; in Figure 8D only top and bottom ramps have been shown; in Figure 8E only bottom ramp 61 has been shown; and in Figure 8F only top ramp 60 has been shown.
  • Figure 9 shows hanger 10 receiving, in a nesting relationship, an additional hanger indicated generally at 70.
  • Figure 10 illustrates the significant depth to which the clamp assemblies 71 and 72 of hanger 70 are lodged in their respective, preceding clamp assemblies 13 and 14 respectively. It will be understood that the tightness of fit of the clamp assemblies 71 and 72 into their mating assemblies 13 and 14 can be controlled by design of both the location of the upper surface of the springs 52 in clamp assemblies 13 and 14 and the width between the end 48 of curved flange portion 47 and the left end edge 26 of the rear half of the upper flange 21. In this instance a very slight width clearance has been provided to ensure that the hangers will not bind in an assembly machine due to a slight misalignment of a nested group of hangers in the machine.
  • Figures 11 and 12 show the clearances referred to above, and the fact that, of necessity, the hangers are offset in a Z direction due to the width of the upper flange 18.
  • a garment-to-hanger assembly machine here a semi-automatic machine, is indicated generally at 75.
  • the machine includes a platen 76 and a hopper chute, indicated generally at 77, which is spaced upwardly and inclined upwardly and rearwardly from the platen 76. It will be understood that any suitable support structure for maintaining the platen and chute in the illustrated position may be provided.
  • the hopper chute includes adjustable guide rails 78 and 79 and a hanger retention spring 80 which operates to allow one hanger at a time to be released from the bottom of the stacked hangers.
  • An adjustable hook guide which is removable to accommodate hangers of differing sizes, is indicated at 81.
  • An adjustable clamping head is indicated generally at 82, the clamping head having a pair of clamping jaws 83 and 84.
  • a hanger 85 has dropped from the bottom of the nested group of hangers in hopper chute 77 into the hook guide 81 so as to be in position to receive a garment.
  • the operator places a garment from a stack of nearby garments into the jaws 13 and 14 of hanger 85 and is about to activate the machine, as by pressing on a knee operated switch which is part of a pneumatic-electric circuit.
  • the springs 52 are not in clamping engagement with the front and rear halves of the clamp assemblies 13 and 14.
  • the rear half 44 and front half 45 of each clamp assembly are brought into gripping engagement with the upper end of the garment and spring clamped together.
  • This operation can be performed as quickly as an operator can pick up and place a garment on the platen 76 since the dropping of a hanger into the hook guide 81 and the clamping action of the clamp assemblies into gripping engagement with the garment may require only a second or less.
  • Figures 14 through 17 show an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
  • the hanger of Figures 14 through 17 has a pair of clamping assemblies 13a and 14a which differ somewhat from the earlier described embodiments.
  • the hanger of the alternative embodiment may have a body essentially the same as any of the earlier described embodiments. Therefore, like reference numerals will again be used to refer to like or similar parts from Figure to Figure, and where different parts are used in the alternative embodiment a suffix "a" has been added to the reference numeral to indicate a variation from an earlier described embodiment.
  • the hanger of Figures 14 through 17 includes a horizontal body, indicated generally at
  • Body 11 is formed in the shape of an I-beam consisting of an upper flange 18, a lower flange 19, and a web 20.
  • the rear half 21 of upper flange 18 extends the length of the body and then, at its far left end portion, blends into and forms the upper surface 22 of left clamp assembly 13. By the same token the far right end portion blends into and forms the upper surface 23 of right clamp assembly 14.
  • the front half 25 of the upper flange 18 terminates a short distance from the ends of rear half 21 as indicated by the rounded end edges 26 and 27.
  • the right clamp assembly 14a includes a rear half 42a and a front half 43a.
  • the rear surface 44a, see Figure 15, of the rear half 42a is, similar to the earlier described hangers, flush (i.e. coplanar) with the back or rear edges of the upper and lower flanges 18 and 19.
  • a curved flange portion 45, see Figure 17, extends outwardly and downwardly from the rear half 42a of the clamp assembly.
  • the left end 46, shown in Fig. 14, of curved flange portion 45 and the right end edge 27 of the rear half of upper flange 21 are spaced apart to form an opening of width sufficient to receive a U-shaped spring 52 which is inserted from above to complete the assembly of the clamp.
  • the rear half 42a of the clamp assemblies 13a and 14a includes a pair of spaced legs or prongs, 47a (outer leg) and 48a (inner leg), at the lower portion thereof, and the lower portion of the front half 43 a of the clamp assembly narrows down to a single narrow centrally disposed leg or prong 49a.
  • the prong 49a on the front half 43a of the clamp assembly thus is aligned with the space between the legs 47a and 48a so that the major garment clamping surfaces, which are on the lower inside surfaces of legs 47a, 48a and 49a, are offset with respect to one another.
  • the offset nature of the legs of this general style of clamp assembly is preferred when clamping particularly heavy or stiff garments.
  • the offset alignment of the legs of the front and rear clamp halves are co-terminous, i.e. they do not abut one another directly.
  • the end shield 50 projects outwardly from the downwardly extending portion of the curved flange portion 45.
  • the end shield is approximately perpendicular to web 20. From Figure 17 particularly it will be noted that the outwardmost extending edge of end shield 50 lies in a plane which is substantially flush with the outside surface 51 of the front half 43a of the clamp assembly.
  • the internal facing surfaces of the rear half 42a and front half 43 a of the clamp assembly carry pivot structure, see for example Figure 16, which enables the two halves to pivot with respect to one another, in a conventional manner, under the resistance to separation provided by inverted U-shaped clamp spring 52.
  • the lower portions of the clamp assemblies 13a and 14a of hanger of Figures 14 through 17 are shapes so that the hanger 10a has the nesting function as described above. Similarly, the hanger 10a of Figures 14 through 17 has the ramps 39 and 40 of the earlier described hangers.
