Description
Nav. 15, 1932. Q MQLNER 1,888,137
GARMENT HANGER Filed Nov. 4, 1931 Har/:g 0. mixer l INVENTOR ATTO RN EY Patented Nov. 15, 1932 UNITED STATES HARRY C. MOLNER, F PITCAIRN, PENNSYLVANIA GARMENT HANGER Application led November 4, 1931.
This invention relates to garment hangers and its general object is to provide a hanger that is primarily designed for womens wearing apparel of a silky and flimsy nature which generally will not stay upon a hanger of the usual construction, as such garments will fall therefrom, but my hanger includes clamping means that will securely hold any type of garment thereon, the clamping means being l@ operable in an easy and convenient manner whereby a garment can be readily associated and removed with respect to the hanger, with very little effort.
A further object of the invention is to provide a garment hanger of the character set forth that is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and extremely efficient in operation and service.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a front view of the garment hanger which forms the subject matter of the present invention and illustrates the clamping means in clamping engagement with a garment in full lines and in open position in dotted lines.
Figure 2 is a top plan view.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is an end view of one of the secm tions of my garment hanger.
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 5-5 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be noted that my garment hanger is made up of a pair of cooperating sections, one of which is indicated by the reference numeral 1 and includes a stationary arm 2 and an enlarged portion 3 formed with said arm.
The enlarged portion of the section l is provided with grooves 4 for the purpose of ac- Serial No. 572,932.l
commodating tongues 5 that are secured to or formed with the enlarged portion 3"'of thesection 6. The tongues are secured in the grooves in any well known manner, and the enlarged portions are provided with recesses 7v which cooperate to form a chamber for the purposev of accommodating a trigger member 8 that includes a shank movable in the reduced portion of the chamber, and formed with the bottom of the shank is a lug 9 that is movable in the bottom of the chamber as bestV shown in Figure 3. The upper end of the shank has formed therewith a fin.- ger piece 10 for a purpose which will be presently apparent and extending through the trigger member is the shank 11 of a hook 12 that` has the lower endl of its, shank fixed in the bottom of the enlarged portions 3 and 3. VEach of the enlarged portions is provided with bores communicating with the cham-i701 ber and mounted for movement within these bores are the reduced inner ends of the movable arms 13 of the clampingA means. `These arms are pivotally secured to the enlarged portions through the instrumentality of pivot pins 14 and each of the movable arms 13 have secured thereto one of the ends of leaf springs 15 while the opposite end of the springs are engageable with a boss 16, for
normally urging the movable arms in closed 30.
position as shown in full lines in Figure 1.r
The extreme inner ends of the movable arms 13 normally engage the lug 9 as shown in Figure 3, with the result it will be apparent that when the trigger member 8 is moved 3,5 downwardly through the instrumentalityy of the finger piece 10, the lug 9 will rock the movable arms on their pivots, which will result in moving the arms to their open positions as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1. The stationary arm of the enlarged portion 3 is indicated by the reference numeral 17 and it will be noted that these stationary arms and the movable arms terminate at their outer ends in alignment with each other and the confronting faces thereof are flat and have secured thereto strips of felt 18 or like soft material so as to prevent damage to a garment. The strips of felt likewise set up a gripping action so that casual removal of a garment from my hanger is practically impossible.
It is brought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention Will be readily apparent.
I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the com'- bination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall Within the scope of the appended claims.
Vhat I claim is: c
l. A garment hanger comprising stationar arms, enlarged portions formed With said 'arms and being provided With a chamf ber communicating With bores extending through the enlarged portions, movable arms Cooperating With the stationary arms and having reducedends mountedl for pivotal movement in said bores, spring means for normally holding said movable arms in closed position, a trigger member mounted for movement in said chamber and engageable with the movable arms for disposing the latter in open position and strips of resilient material between the confronting faces of the arms.
2. A garment hanger comprising stationary arms, enlarged portions formed With said arms and being provided With a chamber communicating With bores extending through the enlarged portions, one of said enlarged portions being provided with grooves, tongues extending from the other enlarged portion Iand received in said grooves for securing the arms and enlarged portions together, suspending means having connection With said arms and extending through the chamber, movable arms cooper- 'ating With the stationary arms and having ends mountedfor pivotal movement in said bores, spring means for normally holding said movable arms in closed position, and a trigger member mounted for movement on said suspending member and in said chamber and being engageable with the movable arms for disposing the latter in open position.
In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
