GARMENT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 18 1911;

Application filed November 1'7, 1910. Serial No. 592,838.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, F nnonron EnLUno,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Lanse, in the county of Clearfield and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Garment-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This inventionrelates to arment han ers Figure 1 is a side elevation illustrating the device in one position. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing one member atright angles to the position given it in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end view showingone member in section.

Like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The device comprises two separate members one of which is designed to rest in a vertical position while supporting a garment and the other to rest in a horizontal position. Thehorizontal member is constructed to be supported by the vertical member in either of two positions. Fig. 1 illustrates one position of the horizontal member in 'which its loop shaped extremities lie fiat and Fig. 2 illustrates its position at right angles thereto in which the loop shaped extremities appear to stand on edge.

The vertically disposed member which I shall designate as 1 is formed of two strands of wire or like material wound upon each other at one extremity and shaped into a hook 2 by which the member is suspended. These strands of wire form a shoulder 3 at the lower termination of hook 2 below which shoulder they branch away from each other and form a pair of approximately parallel garment supporting frames 4 the lower extremity of each of which frames forms an elongated loop 5. A shoulder 6 is formed in one of the members i for the support of the horizontal member.

The horizontal member which I shall designate as 7 is formed of a single strand of wire bent to form terminal loops'8 and a centrally disposed loop 9, the wire being wound upon itself at 10, 10 which points are between the central loop and terminal loops. The horizontal member 7 may be supported upon the vertical member by insorting the hook 2 throughthe loop 9 and resting said loop on shoulder 3 as illustrated in Fig. 1 in which instance the terminal loops 8 will lie flat and the horizontal member is then adapted for supporting a coat over these loops or other garments of a similar nature. A pair of trousers or a dress skirt may be supported upon the elongated loop 5 of the vertical member.

In Fig. '2 the horizontal member is supported through the medium of the loop 9 inserted between the members 4 until it rests upon the shoulder 6 in which position the terminal loops are adapted for holding stockings, gloves, or for other garments rcquiring a support of this kind.

lVhat I claim is v 1. A garment hanger comprising, a vertical member provided at one end with a hook, a shoulder formed'at the lower termination of said book, a pair of parallel membersd formed below said shoulder, one of said members being formed with a shoulder 6 and a horizontal member 7 adapted to be supported by the vertical member upon either of its shoulders 3 or 6.

2. A garment hanger comprising, a verticalmember provided at one end with a hook, a shoulder formed at the lower termination of said hook, a pair of parallel members 4 formed below said hook and each terminating in an elongated loop, one of said members l being provided with a shoulas my own I have hereto affixed my sigma-- der 6, a horizontally disposed membr proture in the presence of two subscribing witvlded with terminal loops and a central loop nesses.

which latter is designed for engagement vFREDRICK EDLUND. '5 with one of the shoulders of the vertical Witnesses:
