To aZZ' whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BRYA T SIMPSON, a-
citizen of the United States, residingfat lVashington, in the District ofiColumbia,
have invented new and useful lmprovenjients in Garment Hangers, of which the following is a specification. a V Y My present invention has reference to a garment hanger. p i My object'is the provision, device for this purpose, of means forf 'efiectively supporting either a oneor two piece garment in manner whereby thejgarme'nt will. be sustained in itsfo'rm When Worn,'s o that. both-the front, sides and rear of the garment may be effectively displayed. i i A further object isthe provisionj a garment support, of means for holding the front and back of garment from contacting engagement which not only permits of the garment assuming its form when arranged on the wearer but holds the parts constituting the same separated in a manner that will. prevent the creasing or bulging thereofpan .especially desirable feature henfthe" gar mentretains dampness after being pressed or cleaned, inasmuch as the air is permitted aifree circulation to the interior asfwell' as the exterior of the garment.
A still further object is the'provision of a device for this purpose embodying a coat hanger having bowedmembers secured to the opposite 'faces'thereof for contacting with the front or breast portion and the back of a coat for holding these portions of the garment out of contact with each other, and in which there is adj ustably suspended from the hanger a sectional ring for contacting engagement With'the waist of the skirt portion of the garment for holding the same in open position ,there being means on the ring for effectively supportingthe skirt'thereon.
"A still further object is the provision in a garment hanger, of a band suspended from a' coat hanger for contacting with the Waist of the skirt or trousers'of a garment, the said ringjbeing adjustably suspended from the hanger and being constructed of two adjustably associated spring members connected together by telescopic and consequently adjustable means and, whereby the sectional ring member may be adjustedto properly engage the aist! bands of} different' size garments, there being means on the rin for efl'ectivel 'ri min the ar h a :3 b V hanger portion of the improvement.
suspend the same therefrom. A still further object. 15 the'prov sion 111 a garment-hanger that ncludes acoa-t supporting member, of an adjustable ring or ment to band suspended from the hanger at desired elevations to permit of the longitudinal or lateral'movement of the band on its support,
the said band comprising two flatislottcd 1 spring members pivotally associated with a telescopic member to which the suspending means is attached, the said bands being' bowed from their connection'with the said I telescopic member, adjustable With respect to eacho.ther, carry1ng means Iorclamp ng a o-arment thereto and susceptible for sWinging against each other on the said telescopic member andior gripping a garment for sustaining the'same in flat condition, as when the-device 1S employed for supporting the scription, illustrated by the accompanying in the, appended claims.
In the dra-Wings:-; p r Figure l is a perspective vie-Willustrating a two part ladies garment supported :in accordance with this invention. l
Figure-'2 is a perspective-view oi the improvement. T Figure is asimilar view of the coat Figured is an edge View of the construc. tion disclosed in Figure 3. p I
' Figure 5 -i s a perspcct-iveview of the band portion of the improvement.
Eigurefi a fragmentaryperspective view to il-l ustratethe manner in which the ends oi the metal straps constituting the bands are disposed in lapping unison for associationwith one end of the telescopic "member, and the elements associated with the pivot for the band. v
As disclosed by the drawings, I make use of a coat hanger l of the usual construction.
presently be apparent. On the angle arms of the hangerl, adjacent to theends theredrawings and pointed out with particularity f upper face of a block 16.
of, there are secured inner and outer eyes 4, respectively. To these eyes there are removably connected the eye ends 5 on the straight arms of wire members 7 and 8, respectively. The arms 6, at a determined distance from their pivotal. connection with the eyes lure bent upon themselves to provide loops 9 designed for engagement with hooks 10 on the opposite faces of the hanger 1. From the loops 9 the members T and 8 are bowed outwardly at a downward angle with respect to the hanger 1, as indicatedby the numerals 11 and 12, respectively. The wire constituting the member 1 is of a less length. than that of the member 8. Consequently the loop 12 is of a greater length than that of the loop 11. The loop llv is designed for contacting engagement with the inner face of the back of the coat portion of a garment, while the loop 12 contacts with the inner face of the front of the garment. In this manner it will be noted that the front and back of the garment held spaced from each other so that air can freely circulate through the garment. This construction is especially desirable by tailors er garment cleaners, as it is necessery to danv en the garment in the cleaning and in the pressing thereof. Were the garment permitted to rest on the usual form of coat hangers, the front and back thereof woind contact with each other and the dampened garment, especially the inner lining thereof, would have a tendency to crease or bulge as the moisture evaporatestherefrom with the result that the effectiveness of the press in operation of the garment is lost. In addition to preserving the shape of the garment the construction of my improvement permits of both the front and back of the said garment being clearly inspected by the owner or by a purchaser. The hanger as above described may be employed witi equal eflleiency on upper garments for either gentlemen or ladies.
The shirt portions of ladies garments, when pressed and cleaned are also susceptible to wrinkling and loss of shape, unless air is permitted to circulate therethrough and also the ladies shirts or lower garment, when suspended from an ordinary hanger will not be fully displayed, that is the garment must be taken by the hand of a perspective purchaser to inspect both the frontand rear thereof. It is also the primary object of this invention to overcon e these objections and therefore, I attach to the inner hook 3 a flexible element, such as a chain 13. Any of thelinlrs of this chain is designed for engagement by a hook 1 1 arranged for longitudinal sliding movement on a track 15, preferably formed of a U- shaped wire whose ends are secured to the The block has a rectangular bore entering from one end thereof and in this bore there is telescopically received a rod 17 formed on the end of a comparatively short block 18. The cross sectionally rectangular rod 17 has its under face provided with spaced transverse notches 19 and the block 16 has pivotally secured to its under face a metal member 20 having an offset tongue 21 for engagement with any one of the notches 19. The latch plate 20 is pivoted, as at 2'2, and the said plate is provided with an offset end forming the same with an operating handle 23. In this niianner, the telescopically associated ele ments 16 and 13 may be longitudinally ad justed to lengthen or shorten the same.
The members 16 and 18 have extending from their outer ends the threaded studs Qne of the studs 2+1 is designed to be passed through aligning openings in the lapping ends of comparatively thin spring straps 25 and 26, respectively. The straps 25 and 26, at suitable points from their pivoted ends, are formed with central longitudinally extending slots 27, respectively, which terini ate at points close to their opposite and free ends. The straps 25 and 26 are rounded upon themselves so that the free ends of the said straps are disposed in lapping relationto receive through the slots 27 therein the second pintle 914.- Both pintles 21 pass through openings in flanged plates The edge flanges of these plates are disposed over the edges of the straps or hands and 27. The threaded pintles 24 have screwed thereon milled nuts 29 which bind the lap-ping ends of the straps or hands 25 and 26 against each other and against the ends of the telescopic members 16 and 18. By an arrangement as above described, it will be noted that the circumference of the band may be regulated to a nicety. Also incident to the telescopic association of the members 16 and 18, the connected ends of the bands may be spread co-cause the said bands to assume an elliptical shape. By this arrangement the bands may be made to properly engage with the waist band of a skirt or like lower garment for ladies wear. The plates 28 have preferably soldered or otherwise secured on the outer. faces there of, loops 30, and to the outer faces of these loops there are pivoted or otherwise secured the inner elements of spring jaw clamps 31. Slidably arranged on the sections 25 and 26 of the band there are loops 32 which carry on their outer faces spring jaw clamps 35. The clamps 31 and 33 are designed for gripping the waist band of the garment suspended from the device. The sections 25 and 26 of the band may be swung to the dotted line position in Figure 2 of the drawings in which event the spring jaw clamps may be employed for engaging the waist band of a pair of trousers. When thus arranged it will be noted that the device, when employed as a hanger for mens garments will support thereon an extra pair of trousers, and it is thought that the foregoing description when taken'in connection with the draw-" ings will fully set forth the simplicity of my improvement and the advantages there of to those skilled in the art to which such invention relates. The construction, of course, is necessarily susceptible to slight changes and modifications especially with respect, to proportion, material employed,
etc, as for instance,gthe bowed members i and 8 may be directly hinged to the hanger l and the member 7 may be shaped so that the same can be folded against the inner face of the said hanger without projecting therebeyond when the hanger is'not in use. Therefore I am not to be restricted I to the precise details herein set forth and hold myself entitled to make such changes therefrom as fairly fall within the scopeof what I claim. 7
Having described the invention, I claim l. A suit hanger having eyes on its opposite faces adjacent to the arms thereof, wire members having their ends pivotally se-' portions of the wire members, and one of said wire members being of a greater length than the other.
scopic block and '2; A suit hanger having bowed members secured ,to the opposite sides thereof, a
chain centrally depending from the hanger, a block comprising telescopic members, means for adjusting the members i with respect to eachother, a track on the telescopici block, a hook slidable on the track for engaging one of the links of the chain. and a split spring band 'removably and adjustably secured to the ends of the tele-' carrying garment engaging clamps.
A suit secured to the opposite faces thereof, and extending at opposite downward .angles with respect thereto, a chain centrally depending from the hanger, a block comprising telescopic sections, means for holding hanger having bowed members thereon'for engaging one of the links of v the chain, a band' comprising two spring sections, having their ends inlapping relatlon and one of said ends pivotally secured to one-end of'the block, said bands from their said pivoted ends having elongated slots, a pivot at the second end of the block passing through the slots, flanged plates engaged by bothipivots, spring jaw clamps on the plates,f and loop members on the bandscarrying spring influenced jaws for the purposeset forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
BRYANT SIMPSON.
