SUIT HANGER Filed Nov. 27-, 1945 INV EN TOR R0515: WALDMAN" by 3 Patented Sept. 21, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SUIT HANGER Rose Waldman, Jersey City, N. J. Application November27, 1945. Serial No. 631,058
' 1 Claim. (01.223 88).
This invention relates to suit hangers, and more particularly to a suit hanger upon which a coat and trousers canbe hung independently.
When the suit hangers made at present are employed, one of the garments of the suit is positioned over or about the other garment. This nesting of garments prevents the inner garment from being aired, renders difficult its removal, and causesthe outer garment to hang unevenly.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to form a, suit hanger upon which the garments can be hung in juxtaposition.
Another object is to form a suit hanger from which either garment can be removed or hung up without disturbing the other garment.
Another object is to form a suit hanger upon which garments can be hung separately instead of in overlapping relationship. I
A further object is to forms. suit hangerwith a trouser hanging element so positioned'that the trousers, when hung, can act to retain the front of the coat evenly. I
These and other objects are accomplishedfby formingthe suit hanger with an upper and a lower triangular frame, each having two short sides joined together by a long side, the upper frame being suspended at the apex of its short sides by a hook, and the apex of the short sides of the lower frame being suspended from the center of the long side of the upper frame.
Another object is to form a simple, inexpensive suit hanger with a central reinforcing means to bear the weight of the trousers thus eliminating its tendency to collapse the shoulder bearing parts of the coat hanging element.
These and other objects are accomplished by forming the suit hanger with a gripping element having a, reinforcing rod and an upper and a lower frame, each frame being formed with a longer base and two shorter sides, and by suspending the apex of the short sides of the upper frame from the gripping element, and the apex of the short sides of the lower element from the base of the upper element and the reinforcing rod, the reinforcing rod extending downward from the apex of the upper frame and being secured to its base.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. l is an elevation of the suit hanger with a suit suspended therefrom.
' Fig. 2is an elevation of the suit hanger shown in Fig. 1 with the suit removed. v
Fig. 3 is aside view of the hanger shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is an elevation of a variation of the invention.
Fig. 5 is an elevation of another variation of the invention showing a hanger provided with reinforcing means.
Fig. 6 is an-elevation of still another variation showing a modified construction of the reinforcing means.
In the drawings and in the specification, in which the sam numbers represent similar ele-. ments, 'a suit hanger 1, shown in Figs. 1 to '3, incl., is provided with a. gripping means 8 made of metal and upper and'lower frames 9 and I0 respectively madeof plastic, the gripping means 8 is shown in the form of a hook, but if desired can'be made in any other suitable form as a clip, button or a hole and pin, etc.
The upper frame 9 is formed in a triangular I shape withsides or coat rests II and I2 and a longer base or rod [3. The gripping means 8 is secured to the frame at the apex of the sides H and I2 and the side I3 is positioned opposite the gripping means.
The lower frame It) is formed with sides l4 and I5 and a longer base or trouser supporting bar I6. The lower and upper frames are secured toether at the intersection of the shorter sides l4 and I5 of the lower fram and the mid-point of the longer side l3 of the upper frame by twist bend H. The twist bend I! causes the lower frame to be positioned below the upper frame.
Although the frames 9 and in are shown secured together and positioned by the twist and bend l1, they can also be held together and positioned by a, clamp, molded integral with the elements, or by any other suitable means.
The sides H and I2 of the upper frame are capable of supporting a coat, etc. (see Fig. 1), and the side It of the lower frame of carrying a pair of trousers. When the suit is placed on the hanger 1, the coat rests in back of the trousers which retain the front of the coat evenly adjacent to the coat back. This relative positioning of the coat and trousers permits either garment to be removed readily without disturbing the other, and likewise permits each garment to be placed upon the hanger independently of each other.
A suit hanger l8, shown in Fig. 4 is provided with a gripping means l9 formed integral with an upper frame 20, and a twist bend l1 formed in a slightly different manner from the form shown in Figs. 1-3. Otherwise, the hangers l8 and I are similar.
A suit hanger 2|, shown in Fig. 5, is provided with a gripping means 22 an upper and a lower frame 23 and 24, respectively. The upper frame is formed with side extending elements 25 suitable for carrying a coat at the shoulders and with a cross bar 26- extending between theends of the elements 25.
The lower frame a bar 28 extending between the ends of the sides 21 suitable for suspending a pair of trousers. A rod 29 extending from the gripping means 22, passes through an opening formed at the apex of hanger 2| and downward through a hole 30 in the bar 25, a washer 3|, a hole 32 at the intersection of the sides 27 and is provided with an enlargedend or cap 33.
The gripping means 22 and. its extension rod 25 together bear the load of the trousers hanging element or frame 24 and relieve the cross bar 26 of all tension, permitting it to act as a stiffening rod and aid in holding the sides 25 in position un der their coat load. If desired, the extension rod can be bent out of the plane of the upper frame and then downward.
Although the suit hanger 1 shown in Fig. l is described as made of plastic and metal, and the hanger l8 as made of plastic, the hangers can be made completely of either metal, plastic or any other suitable material or combination of materials.
Another suit hanger 34, shown in Fig. 6, is provided, with upper and lower frames 35 and 35 respectively, similar to the frames!) and HI heretofore described and similarly joined to each other by the same twist and bend construction, and gripping means 31. The gripping means 31 has a hooked upper portion 38 extending above the apex of the upper frame, a shank 39- or reinforcing rod passing through an opening 40 in said apex, and a lower hooked portion 4| fitting closely about the twist and bend 42, thus reliev- 24 is formed with sides 27 and ing the cross bar 43 of the upper frame of all tensions under coat loading and permitting it to function as a stiffening rod.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the; appended claim.
Havingthus described; my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
In a garment hanger for separately supporting aplurality of garments, said hanger comprising a first substantially triangular garment supporting frame having an aperture formed in the apex thereof, a second substantially triangular garmen-t. supporting frame having an aperture formed in the apex andbase thereof, said aperure o a fi st a ds nd. ian lar rm ppo ting mes. bei e ene,d and the a exn each oi said frames extending awayfrom itsrespect e as n the. same d r ct Qn fly ro exte g thr h. id a i ned a ert res wh eb sa am s m y e. reely rot able he e n. means a on en of. aid, d to reven aid fr mes i m pass th re v r m an e l e. t e and o a d rod" for pre in aidv item from passin h reover, sa a named m an n ud n r pping means.
