Description
y 1950 E. G. VON GUNTEN 2,513,535
TROUSERS HANGER Filed July 21, 1948 In z/elziar [ow/mo 6. 1 0 Gwvrnv Patented July 4, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to a trousers hanger.
The hangers for trousers now on the market are of two general types. In one type the trousers are held by the cuffs and hang upside down. In the other type the trousers are folded in the middle so that the upper half of the trousers are in the upside-down position. In using either of these types of hangers, care must be exercised to avoid spilling anything from the trousers pockets, unless the pockets are first emptied.
The trousers hanger of this invention holds the trousers rightside up so that there is no necessity for removing anything from the pockets and no danger of spilling anything. The hanger is slid under the belt straps at the top of the trousers and the handle of the hanger is so placed that it is located between two of the straps so that the trousers cannot be accidentally slid off the hanger onto the floor. The hanger may be made of plastic or metal or any suitable material.
The invention will be further described in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. 1 shows a side View of the hanger;
Fig. 2 is an end View of the hanger;
Fig. 3 shows the hanger in use;
Fig. 4 is a modified'form of hanger; and
Fig. 5 is a cross-section through one of the bars of the hanger shown in Fig. 4.
It is conventional to put six or eight belt-straps on a pair of trousers. If eight straps are used, two of them are located at the front of the trousers inside of the creases where the trousers are naturally folded when hung upright. Thus, whether there are six or eight straps, there are three straps on each side of the trousers when the front portion is folded in. These straps are rather uniformly spaced.
In the trousers hanger of this invention there are two bars, 5 and 6, which are slipped through the belt straps. These bars may be pointed at one or both ends or rounded, as desired. The bars are supported by a hook arm I which is divided at the base into the two parts 8 and 9, each of which is attached to one of the bars. Thus; the two bars are spaced at a short distance from one another. The hook I i! is located over a point between the approximate center of the bars. The hook arm is attached to the bars much nearer one end of the bars than the other, dividing the bars into longer and shorter portions, the longer portion being two to three times the length of the shorter.
In using the hanger the trousers are folded fiat in the normal manner with the front opening folded in. The long ends of the bar are slipped under the straps I2 and [3 on the two sides of the trousers, the hanger is pushed through these straps until the base of the hook arm approaches 2 or touches the strap !3, and then the short ends of the arms are pushed under the straps It.
The farther the hook is spaced above the bars the greater the tendency of the hanger to hang at an angle if the trousers are heavier at the back than in the front, or vice versa. Therefore, the hook is usually placed relatively near the bars.
In the hanger shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the bars 5 and 6 are made of thin sheet aluminum with the top and bottom edges doubled over toward the middle. Figs. 4 and 5 show solid bars 2%) which may be of extruded aluminum or other metal or plastic or wood or the like.
It is a great advantage of the trousers hanger of this invention that the trousers are hung upright. The contents of the pockets are not disturbed. The trousers are hung while folded along the usual creases and there is no extra creasing or wrinkling such as is necessary when the trousers are folded over a bar of any type. The base of the hook arm is located between two of the straps so as to prevent the trousers from sliding off of the hanger onto the floor, as when someone is rummaging through a closet where the trousers are hung.
What I claim is:
1. A trousers hanger formed of two spaced bars and a hook arm which separates into two arms at its base, with the hook of the hook arm over a point between the approximate mid-point of each bar so that the bars hang substantially horizontally, each bar being fastened to one of said arms at the base of the hook arm so as to permit trousers being placed between the bars, the hook being fastened to the bars at a point which divides each bar into a shorter portion adapted to hold one belt strap of the trousers and a longer portion adapted to hold two belt straps of the trousers whereby the trousers are prevented from sliding off the bars when the hanger is tilted.
2. A trousers hanger formed of two spaced parallel bars and a hook arm, the hook of the hook arm being above a point between the approximate midpoint of the bars, the base of the hook arm being divided with each portion attached to a different bar and with the point of attachment being about one-third to one-quarter of the length of the respective bars away from one end thereof whereby the trousers are prevented from sliding off the bars when the hanger is tilted.
