INVENTOR. Osca r'A. Swanson United States Patent $37,995 TUGGLE MEHANISM Gscar Alwed Swanson, 556 Almar Ava, Pacific Palisades, Qalif. Filed Apr. 5, 1%3, er. No. 271,fi22 7 Claims. (ill. 223-96) This invention relates to toggle type mechanisms adapted to construction and mounting in a manner such that the component parts thereof are integral and actually all the supporting structure of an improved garment hanger of the clamping type.
A general object of my invention, as disclosed herein, is to provide a garment hanger with integral toggle type mechanism, incorporating means for biasing operating parts of the hanger to positions to which last operated and wherein spring means are integral with the structure.
A further object of my invention is to provide a garment hanger readily operable without removal from the hanger clothes rod. Hand grips are provided on the clamp members by which the hanger is operated.
An additional object of my invention, as disclosed herein, to provide a rugged and simple mechanism dependable in operation, and which is made of relatively few parts and may be manufactured at low cost.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings in which similar characters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views.
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a garment hanger toggle mechanism which embodies a form of my invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the disclosed garment hanger toggle mechanism, wherein the mechanism is shown in a position holding the clamping members closed;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the disclosed invention wherein the mechanism is shown in a position holding the clamp members open;
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view depicting certain operating characteristics and movements of the spring link shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3;
FIG. 5 is a modification of FIGS. 1-4 inclusive, depicting certain operating characteristics and movements of a modified toggle link and related structure;
FIG. 6 is a further modification of FIGS. 1-4 inclusive, depicting certain operating characteristics and movements of a modified toggle spring link and related structure;
FIG. 7 is a front elevational view of a further modification of FIGS. 1-4 inclusive, depicting a modified structure.
FIG. 8 is a side elevational view of a further modification of FIGS. 1-4 inclusive, and wherein it is in a position holding the clamp members closed;
FIG. 9 is a side elevational view of a further modification of FIGS. 1-4 inclusive, and wherein it is in a position holding the clamp members open;
FIG. 10 is a diagrammatic view of the modification of FIGS. l-4 inclusive, shown in FIGS. 7-9 inclusive, depicting certain operating characteristics and movements of the toggle mechanism;
FIG. 11 is a diagrammatic view of an additional modification of FIGS. 71() inclusive, wherein a compression coiled toggle spring link is used.
In use, the illustrated garment hanger toggle mechanism is manually operated by hand grasping of clamp members, hand grips and pulling firom clamped to open position. To clamp on the garment, the clamp members are pushed at the hand grips.
Having reference to the drawings, and particularly FIGS. 1 to 5 inclusive, wherein one form of the invention is shown for illustrative purposes, the pair of clamp members 20 and 21 are made of plastic or wood or other similar material. The clamp members have openings which are adapted for rigid fastening of the end portions of two rods 22 and 23 which support said clamp members.
The rods 22 and 23 are hingedly connected to each other at two horizontally aligned portions to form a hinge 24 about which clamp members 20 and 21 are swingable between clamping and open positions. The rods 22 and 23 have formed central portions 25 and 26 respectively which at their midpoints are horizontally parallel to each other in front elevational View as shown in FIG. 1, and lie in a vertical plane in the side elevational view as shown in FIG. 2. Spring toggle link 27 has opposite end portions rotatably connected to rods 22 and 23 at the midpoints of their formed central portions 25 and 26 respectively, providing a fixed axis at rod 22 connection and a movable axis at its connection to rod 23.
The rods 22 and 23, their central portions 25 and 26 respectively, and the spring link 27 are arranged and adapted to each other to form a toggle mechanism. Link 27 is made of resilient material and is a toggle spring biasing the rods 22 and 23 and attached clamp members to a clamping position or an open position when the mechanism is operated. Link 27 is stressed and exerts sufiicient force in the clamped position to securely hold garments. Link 27 deflects a maximum amount at toggle on center position, indicated by letter C shown in FIG. 4.
The upper end portion 28 of spring link 27 is of hook shape in order that the hanger may be supported from a clothes rod.
In FIG. 5, the toggle mechanism is modified with the use of a link 29. The rod 23 is made of resilient material and its central portion 26 acts as a spring biasing the rods 22 and 23 and attached clamp members to either a clamped or open position when the hanger is actuated. Central portion 26 of rod 23 is held stressed in the clamped position by link 29 and held unstressed by said link in the open position.
In FIG. 6, the toggle mechanism is further modified by the use of a coiled tension spring 35 which is adapted to function in the same manner as spring link 27.
Another modified structure of my garment hanger toggle mechanism is illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 10 inclusive wherein the mechanism parts, including the clamp members 20 and 22 the rod 22, and the link 29, are essentially the same as those described and these parts are each adapted to function in the manner described- The double torsion spring 32 is hingedly connected to rod 22 at two horizontally aligned portions, wherein the two coiled spring portions 33 of spring 32 together with rod 22 form a hinge about which clamp members 26 and 2.1 are swingable between clamping and open positions. The end portions of the torsion spring 32 are attached to clamp member 21.
In the clamped position, the torsion spring 32 is held stressed by link 29. In the open position, the torsion spring 32 is held unstressed by link 29. When the mechanism is on toggle on center position, central portion 34 of torsion spring 32 is deflected downward a maximum amount, indicated'by the letter G in FIG. 10.
In FIG. 11, the toggle mechanism of that illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 16 inclusive is modified by the use of a coiled compression toggle spring 36 wherein it replaces link 29 and rod 37 replaces torsion spring 32. Toggle spring 36 exerts biasing force to rods 22 and 37 to hold clamp members 2t) and 21 to the last position actuated, said support rodsand spring adapted to each other to .form a toggle mechanism. 7
In FIGS 1 to 11 inclusive, an additional modification is anticipated wherein the resiliency of all said members of the toggle mechanismis utilized by their being adapted to each other to exert biasing force to hold mechanism to the last position to which it is actuated.
While I have illustrated and described my invention as a garment hanger, I do not wish to be limited specifically to only that use. There are many possible uses for this mechanism, such as: clamp mechanism for holding papers, documents and drawings to a board; hanger mechanism for holding parts to an over-head. conveyor line in a .fac-, tory; hanger for holding documets and various correspondence on a wall. i
From the above description of several typical illustrative forms. of ,the invention, the underlying principles thereof will be readily gathered. it is of course to be understood, however,- that the particular embodiments of the invention herein disclosed are for illustrative purposes only, and that various changes in design, structure and,
arrangement may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scopeof the invention or of the appended claims.
