Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 28, 1914.

Application filed June 2 5, 1912. Serial No. 705,861.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GLENN E. Brsn, citizen of the United States, residing at Hobart, 1n the county of Kiowa and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirt-Hangers for Cabinets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to garment supporters, and especially designed for use in stores where a number of garments are to be kept and in a small space.

Another object of the invention is to produce an improved garment supporting means which will readily admit the garment and hold it from easy removal.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and specifically claimed.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device. Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 22 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section with part of the device broken away. Fig. 4L is a fragmentary perspective view of the clamping plate of the clothes supporting member.

Referring to the parts by numerals, a supporting frame is made of two strips 10 and 11 and connected at their inner ends by the bridge 12. These two parallel strips 10 and 11 are connected at their outer ends by the bar 13. This U-shaped supporting member made up of the bridge 12 and the parallel extending strips 10 and 11, is secured to the cabinet by the feet 14; and 15. The feet 14 which are positioned at the outer end of the supporting frame, are secured to the supporting frame by rivets 16. while the feet 15 which are positioned at the opposite end of the U-shaped supporting frame, are connected to the supporting frame by rivets 17 which pass through the ends 18.

A slidably mounted garment supporting member is made up of a strip 19 which is bent as shown at 20 in Fig. 1, and is supported at its rear end by the wheel 21 which runs between the strips 10 and 11 of the U- shaped frame. This strip 19 is supported at its outer end by the roller 22 which is positioned between the bars 13 which holds the strips 10 and 11.

A supporting member 23 is secured to the strip 19 by the upwardly extending strips 24 which are provided at their lower end with outwardly extending feet 25 through which the rivets 26 pass to secure the strips 24 to the supporting member 23. A supporting strip 27 is attached to the inner end of the strip 19 by the oppositely extending feet 28, and is bent at its lower end to form a supporting foot 29.

A plurality of resilient garment engaging members 30 are carried by the support ing member 23. These resilient clothes ongaging members 30 have bracing plates 31 and 32. The bracing plate 32 is provided with a bent portion 33 through which a rivet passes to secure the plate 32 to the supporting member 23. Passing through the middle of the resilient clothes engaging members 30 is a rod 34.- which has a nut 35 screwed on its inner end, and is bent to form a handle 36 at its outer end. A strip 37 is mounted upon the upper ends of the resilient clothes engaging members 30 and is held in position by the rivets 38 which extend on opposite sides of the rod 3 1 and connects the plate 37 with the supporting member These rivets 38 being positioned on the opposite sides of the rod 341 prevent any transverse movement of the resilient clothes engaging members 30.

The operation of this device is as follows :-l"Vhen the cabinet or case is closed, the slidably mounted clothes supporting member is pushed in to give room for closing of the door. When a garment is desired to be obtained from the case, the handle 36 is grasped and the slidably mounted garment supporting member is drawn out far enough to get the desired garment.

A great number of garments can be carried by this device as the garment engaging member is so arranged as to carry two rows of garments, and the upper and lower strips 23 and 37 and the rod 3% act as a divide and keep the garments in order.

Having thus described theinvention,what is claimed as new, is

1. A clothes hanger comprising a base support, suspending means engaging the ends of the support, a plurality of resilient clothing clamps arranged in parallel relation and extending transversely across the support, a rod extending through the clamps for adjusting the tension thereof, a top support extending across the clamp, and connecting the top support to the base support.

2. A clothes hanger comprising a base support, suspending means therefor, a plurality of resilient elliptically-shaped clothes clamps seated on and extending transversely of the support, an adjuster extending through the clamps for regulating the tension thereof, a top support for the clamps, and fasteners connecting the top and base supports and extending on opposite sides of the adjuster.

3. A clothes hanger comprising a base support, suspending means therefor, a plurality of parallel resilient clamps seated on and extending transversely of the support, a top support connected to the base support, end braces for the clamps, an adjusting rod extending transversely through the braces and clamps and having a handle at one end, and a nut carried by the other end of the rod.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
