GARMENT HANGER;
Application filed March-16, 1923. serial nc; 625,517; I
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, NONA J. MAnKs,.'a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented 6 Garment Hangers, of which the following is a specification. p f
The object of his invention is to provide a garment hanger, employing the usualsuporting bar over which the garment is. hung, 10 aying simple and eli ective means for clamping the garment to prevent its slipping from the bar, the device finding par-.
ticular application in hangersemployed for v iparts "lying, outwardly of the points 5, are
elevated from the bar 1,'-as illustrated in womens garments. v
In the attached drawings: y c Figure 1, isa side view. of ah'anger made in accordance with my invention Fig. 2, is a View in perspective-ofthe hanger; 4
Fig. 3, is a side invention, and
T F' g. t, is a section onthe .li1ie 4 t,' .I ig. 3, With reference to the drawings, the
hanger may comprise the usual curved bar 1, at the center of which is attached 'as'uits able hook, 2, or. equivalent elQmnt, by means of which the bar may be'suspended from a supporting structure. Inaddition tothese elements, I provide a strip 3 of resilient metal, preferably spring steel,1havin an aperture tat the center through" (w ich the shank of the hookB extends, the \strip being bowed upwardly in the center land having the extended end portio nsat each side of the central bow formed as to bear against the top of the barl. Rivets 7 or'other suitable retaining elements may be provided to normally hold these end por- 40 tions of the strip against the bar, the rivets extending through longitudinal .slots 6, ll, "the purpose of which will be described hereinafter. 1 I
In addition to the strip 3, I may employ a coiled spring 8 which surrounds the spindle of the book 2 and is confined between the under side of the strip 3 and the top of the bar 1, thisspring 8 tending to retain the central portionof the strip 3in a normal elevated position, in which the ends of the strip'bear firmly against the upper surface of the bar. If desired, the endsof the strip 3 may be provided with rubber pads 9, 9, in the form of rubber tubing passed over the said ends.
I prefer also, as clearly illustrated, to bow view of a hanger e mbod'v 1 Sing a modification within the scope of-the woes of a like nature, not only in the facility itage in that by exerting a pressure intermeat the other.
out the aforesaidrend; portions so that in reality the strip 3, in normal position, bears against the barat four points only,at thee'x- ,tre'me-ends of the strip and at the ends of the centralbow. Thelatter points are dess ignated by the reference numerals 5, and I i prefer -ati'these poin-tsto place the slots 6 through which the securing element" 7- pass.
WVhen, now, a downward pressure is exertedupon-the central bowed portion sufficient to fiex the strip 3, the parts 5, 5, hearing against the bar 1 act as ful'crums so that the outlying extremities of the strip,-or those --v,idei,for the increase in the effective-length of the 'stripB caused by the depression and partial straightening out of the central lowed portionv Thejdevice has-advantages over other deand relative cheapness of manufacture ,b1it in the eflectiveness with which the device 86 functions, and the ease of manipulation. A slighti pressureby the fingers at the center of the strip effects the elevation of both ends of the strip, and when the strip is released, the ends bear against the top of the barwith .a. ,firm pressure which nevertheless is not such as to mark or injurethe fabricof the garment. The device has a further advandiate' the securingelements'zi and the center 90 of the stripfeither one or other of the ends. may be elevated: without ,disturbing"the other, thereby permitting adjustment of the garment at eithersideiwhile being retained I In Figs. 3 and t, I have shown a modification in which the spring 8 is eliminated and in which I employ an alternative means foi-"holding the clamp in position on the bar. In this form, the spring clamp 3 is formed' to assume naturally the position shown in Fig. 3.v The shank of the hook 10 may be pressed out as indicated at 10, to limit the upward movement of the center of the clamp. In this instance, it is not essential that ineans be employed such as the elements? previously described for securing the clamp at the points 5 to the bar 1, it being only necessary to revent lat-' eral movement of the ends 0 the clamp from their positions over the bar. I prefer,
however, to employ the staple-like elements 11, best illustrated in 4, reason b the comparative cheapness of tliis form of tide-retaining means formed as a bow with fastener and the ease with-which it is attached. Obviously, this ,form of fastener can be used in the form of device first described with the elimination of the slotted apertures 6.
The device illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4 operates in exactly the same manner as that shown in Figs. land 2, but inthe present case the resiliency of the clam-ping ele'm ent itself isutilized to maintain it in operative position. I claim:
1. In a hanger, the combination withan article-supporting member, of resilient a-rextended ends, and means for securingthe bow on the. supporting member with said extended ends normally bearing against said member so that pressure on the "central bow portion will raise the outlyin extended ends from the supporting memer.
2.'In a hanger, the'combination with an article-supporting member, of a supporting stem extending outwardly therefrom, re-' silient article-retaining means mounted on the support through which the stem ex-v tends, said retaining means being formed,
as a bow with extended ends, and said bow being retained upon the supporting, membcrfwith the said extended ends bearing ends, said how being connected on opposite sides of the center to said supporting member so that said extended ends normally bear against the member and so that presporting mt mber.
