Patented July 31, 1917.
Application filed February 6, 1914. Serial No. 816,986.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MILLER S. Corron, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bath, in the county of Steuben and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes- Hangers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactvdescription of the invention, such as Wlll enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. I
The primary object of this invention is to provide a simple and practical clothes hanger or wardrobe which maybe folded into a very compact form to facilitate transportation.
Another and more specific object of the invention is to provide a clothes hanger having a base provided with a pa1r of spaced frame bars between which are pivoted two sets of garment supporting arms so constructed and arranged as to fold snugly between the frame bars.
As a further object the invention contemplates the provision of a wire curtain support formed of two somewhat U-shaped sections removably connected to one another and to the base of the hanger or wardrobe.
With these and other objects in view, as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combi nation and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding as to my invention reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the clothes hanger showing the same as it appears in use Fig. 2 is a front elevation showing the arms folded between the frame bars and the curtain support partly broken away,
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the hanger with the arms extended,
Fig. 4 is a horizontal longitudinal sectional view with the arms folded parallel to the base,
Fig. 5 is a transverse section taken on the plane of line 5-5 of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 6 is a section taken on the plane of line 66 of Fig. 2.
Referring in detail to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates the base of the hanger which is preferably rectangular in shape and which may be secured to any sultable support by means of screws or other fastening members 2.. To the front or outer side of the base is secured a pair of frame bars 3 and at which parallel each other and extend longitudinally of the base. These bars are attached by screws 5 or other sultable fasteners, which are spaced some dlstance from the terminals of the bars and whlch extend into the base. Vertical pivot bolts 6 extend through openings 7 formed in the bars 3 adjacent their ends and carry wing; nuts 8 for engagement with the lower To each of the pivot bolts is attached a plurality of arms, the arms of one set being designated 9 and those of the other set 10 and it is in the peculiar construction of these arms which permit them to fold snugly between the bars 3 and 4 that one of the principal features of the invention resides. The arms9 are enlarged at one end as indicated by the numeral 11 and apertured as designated by the numeral 12 to receive the pivot bolt and it will be noted that the enlargements are offset away from the inner edges of the arms so that they may swing into close contact with the base 1. The arms 10 are formed with enlargements l3 apertured to receive the pivot bolt and disposed entlrely on the inner side of the outer faces of the arms so that said arms may swing parallel with the arms 9 and in contact therewith.
Referring to Fig. 4 it will be seen that these arms are about half as wide as the bars 3 and 4 and of such a length that the free ends of one set terminate in spaced relation to the enlarged portions of the other set. The free extremities of the arms are beveled in opposite directions as indicated by the numerals 14 and 14 so that they may be easily grasped by the fingers and swung from between the frame bars. The ease with which the bars swing around their pivots may be adjusted by loosening or tightening the wing nuts 8 and this is made possible by the location of the fasteners 5 which is such as to allow a slight spring action to the end portions of the bars 3 and 4.
A curtain support formed of two substantially U-shaped sections 15 and 16, is pro-- vided to hold a pair of curtains 17 in such a position as to screen the hanger.
The sections 15 and 16 are connected to connected by a sleeve or ferrule 21 rigidly c we the base 1 by having their rear ends extended angularly in a downward direction into socket openings 18. The upper edgeot the base is formed with a pair of longitudinal grooves 19 which extend outwardly from the openings 18 and the inner arms 20 of the curtain support sections which are straight lie partially within these grooves so they are held againstrotational movement. The forward ends of the sections 15 and 16 are secured to the section 16. lt will be obpermit the arms 9 and 10 clearing the cur- I tains 1?.
Wm it is desired to fold the clothes hanger or wardrobe into its compact formthe arms 9 are first swungbetween the frame bars 3 and i and then the arms 10 are swung into engagement wlththe outer edges of the arms 9 as shown in Fig. 4. The curtain support is then detached from the base 1 by being lifted from engagement therewith and the two sections and 16 are disconnected from each other by drawing the terniinal of the section 15 from the ferrule 21',
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings I served that the curtain support is spaced to 1,235 ,eae
adapted to be secured to a support, a pair of frame bars removably secured to the front the threaded ends of the bolts and adapted to engage the lower vframe bars, a plurality of arms pivotally secured by one of their ends to each or the pivot bolts so as to permit them to fold snugly between the frame bars, the bolt receiving endsof the arms being ofiset in opposite directions so that one set of arms may have abutting" engagement with the adjacent set of arms when in their folded position, or closed position, said arms being of such a length as to permit the free ends of one set to terminate in spaced relation to the enlargements of the other set, the tree extremities of said arms beveled in opposite directions so that when the arms are in closed position, the fingers of the operator may be easily inserted thereunder for swinging the arms upon the pivots or the bars, said arms adapted to be held in either opened or closed position with relation to the base board by the adjustment of thewinged nuts on the pivot bolts.
in testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
