2 Claims. (Cl. 211-32) The present improvements relate, in general, to supports, and more particularly to supports for holding wearing apparel, such as hats and the like.
A primaryobject, of the improvements, is to provide a novel and improved type of hat hanger which is adapted for efiicient use in any one of a plurality of locations and positions. A further object is to provide hangers of the character aforementioned which are adapted to support ladies as well as gentlemens hats.
Other objects of the improvements will be apparent upon reference to the specifications and drawin wherein Fig. 1 illustrates one form of the improvements mounted in tandem;
Fig. 2 illustrates the same form of the improvements, mounted in a different location;
Fig. 3 illustrates the same form of the improve ments, mounted in a still different location;
Fig. 4 illustrates another form of the improvements, adapted to support a ladys hat;
Fig. 5 illustrates the same form of the improvements, mounted in a different location and bent into another shape;
Fig. 6 illustrates the same form of the improvements, mounted in a different relation.
Referring to the improvements embodied in Figs. 1 to 3, the preferred form and location of the device, adapted for mens hats, are illustrated in Fig. 1. The hanger 10 comprises the arm 11 which is bent to provide a plurality of arm sections 12, 13, 14 and 15. While these sections are illustrated as being substantially at right angles to one another, it is evident that variations of this arrangement may be adopted. For example, certain of the arm sections may be at right angles to each other, while others may have other angular relations or may even be straightaway. 40 A seat 16 for the hat is attached to the arm 11 so as to form an integral part thereof. In the present embodiment, this seat is mounted 'on arm section 15 although it may be attached to sec- 45 tion 14 if desired. As illustrated the seat 16 constitutes a member with curved portions, so that it has the form or substantially the shape, equal to or slightly in excess of half of a hat. The outer free ends of the seat 16 may diverge slightly so as to afford a better purchase under the brim of the hat.
Any suitable means may be provided for securing the hanger in convenient positions. In the illustrated embodiment, the arm section 12 is equipped with apertures 17 while section 13 is similarly provided with holes 18, for the reception of nails or screws. 7
Upon examination of Fig. 1, the improved hanger is shown mounted in two convenient positions. The uppermost hanger 10 issecured to the under side of a shelf 20 in such a manner that the hat seat 16 is beneath the shelf, thereby conserving space. Where such an arrangement is provided in a clothes closet, it is evident that the hanger in that location is out of theway, in the sense that it does not impair use of the closet or obstruct movement therein. The location likewise makes use of space whichordinarily is wasted, it being. apparent however that the location is very accessible. i
If a horizontal surface such as shelf 20 is not available, the hanger 10 may be mounted upon a vertical surface such as wall 21. In Fig. l, the lowermost hanger .10 is secured in this manner.
Regardlessof the mounting, howeven the hat. seats 16 aresimilarly disposed so that the hats maybe held in invertedposition. It is evident from the illustration of Fig. 1, that any number of hangers 10 may be mounted above each other, thereby utilizing space in a closet, cloak room, etc., that heretofore was idle.
Upon reference to Fig. 2, it is seen that the hanger 10, is mounted beneath a shelf 20, but at the outer edge thereof, so that the seat 16 pro trudes beyond the limits of the shelf.
In each instance so far described, the hat seat 16 is horizontally disposed, so that a hat, such as shown in dotted lines (Fig. 1), may be supported in horizontal inverted position. The seat 16 is seen to be raised slightly above the level of arm section 14 so as to afford clearance for the overhanging brim of the hat. By this provision, it is apparent that the hanger is capable of supporting either a felt, straw or derby hat.
Referring to Fig. 3, another manner of mounting the hanger 10 on a vertical wall, is illustrated. In this instance, the arm section 12 is vertically disposed against the face of vertical surface 21, being secured thereto through apertures 1'7. This location causes the seat 16 to be upturned, so that the hat, instead of being supported in inverted position, is supported sideways so to speak with the brim vertically disposed and between the seat 16 and wall 21.
From the foregoing examples, it is evident that the hanger 10, is susceptible of being mounted in any one of a plurality of positions and locations. It may be mounted on a horizontal surface or on a vertical surface. 'It may be secured inside of a door; on a wall; under a shelf; on the interior of an automobile, coach, railroad car, airplane, and in numerous other locations. In all of the illustrated forms, it is significant that the arm 11 likewise serves to support a coat hanger 22, so that the familiar hook for supporting same may be dispensed with, the hanger 10 thereby serving to support both a hat and a coat or other wearing apparel.
Referring to Figs. 4 to 6, the hanger 25 suitable for ladies hats, is disclosed. In that form, the arm 11 has a somewhat difierent form and shape from that first described. The arm section 12 is retained, as in the first form, but the remaining portion of the hanger is considerably altered. A J-shaped arm 11 is provided, having the curved portion 31 and upright portion 32. As illustrated, the free end of the arm portion is capped with a seat 33, which may be curved, dome-shaped or otherwise. If desired, the J- shaped hanger may have the arm sections at right angles to one another, as in the embodiment first described, or those arm sections may be curved, as seen in Figs. 4 to 6.
The ease and convenience in mounting this form of hanger is evident from the drawing. In Fig. 4, the hanger is conveniently and accessibly attached to the lower face of shelf 20, in such a manner that the seat 33 is likewise disposed beneath the shelf, whereby the hat is protected and less space is occupied. The hanger may likewise be mounted on the outer edge of the shelf, as illustrated in Fig. 6, so that the seat 33 will protrude beyond the shelf. This illustration discloses also, how the hanger may be conveniently supported on any vertical surface, such as a wall, door or the like. i
In Fig. 5, the hanger is shown attached above theshelf 20. In this location, it is necessary to bend the portion 32 to vertical position so that 40 the seat 33 will be upright. Ineach of the locations disclosed in Figs; 4 to 6, it is evident that a ladys hat may be conveniently and accessibly supported on the seat 33, and that a dress hanger 22 may likewise be supported thereon. If desired, the hanger may be interchangeably used for either womens or mens hats.
It is notable that each of the illustrated embodiments of the invention is adapted to be mounted in any one of a plurality of positions and locations. Various modifications of the present improvements may be apparent to those skilled in the art and may be made without departing from the purview of the invention.
I claim:
1. A garment hanger comprising a piece of relatively rigid material forming substantially four sides of an incomplete open rectangular frame, said frame comprising two substantially straight base portions inrectangular relation to and joining each other, a hat supporting portion spaced from said base portions and a spacing and connecting portion, adapted to support a garment hanger, between one of the base portions and the hat supporting portion, all of said portions being,
in substantially one and the same plane and a curved hat holding member on said hat supporting portion disposed across said plane.
2. A garment hanger comprising an attenuated piece of relatively rigid material forming substantially four sides of an incomplete open rectangular frame, said frame comprising two substantially straight base portions in rectangular relation to and joining each other, a hat supporting portion spaced from said base portions and a spacing and connecting portion, adapted to support a garment hanger, between one of the base portions and the hat supporting portion, all of said portions being in substantially one and the same plane, and a hat holding member on the said hat supporting portion in spaced relation to said base and connecting portions and extending laterally from said plane.
