Be it known that we. Moxuon KoIIN and Gnouon J. Rnrrnn. citizens of the United States, residing at Chicago. county of Cook, State of Illinois. have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Garmentangers-and declare. the following to be a full. clear, and exact description of the same. such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same. reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specificatio Our invention has for its object to produce a. simple and novel garment hanger which will cause the fabric of a coat between the shoulders and around the neck to lie smooth and flat.

A further object of our invention is to produce a simple and compact coat hanger upon which trousers or skirts may be supported without interfering with the coat arranged on the hanger.

he various features of novelty whereby our invention is charzu-terized will hereinafter be pointed out with particularity in the claims: but, for a full understanding of our invention and of its objects and advantages. reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drmving, wherein:

Figure 1 is a front view of a hanger arranged in accordance with our invention; Fig. 2 is a view looking toward the left in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing a modified form of hanger; and Fig. et is a top plan view of the hanger shown in Fig. 3.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, 1, 2 and 3 represent the three sides of a frame made in the form of an isosceles triangle at the apex of which is a hook, 4, or other suspending device. The frame may tions of the sides 2 and apex are bent forward so as to bring the upper half of the triangular frame in a plane making an obtuse angle with the plane of the lower half.

When the hanger is placed in a coat it is arranged so that the inclined upper portion extends toward the front, thus allowing it to engage the rear portion of the collar while the side or end portions underlie the Letters Patent Patented Nov. 21, 1916.

The second form of hanger may also conveniently be made of one piece of wire the ends of the horizontal piece or cross bar, 7, being bent upwardly as indicated at 8 and 9 and then being bent so as to form with the lower portions of the other two frame members It) and 11. loops or rings, 12 and 13, which and 3 of the between their dly projecting upon which :1

Figs. 3 and 4 give a wide bearing for each of the shoulders of a garment. The upper portions of the members 10 and 11 are bent in the same way as the upper the. members 2 and While we have illustrated and with particularity only a single preferred form of our invention, we do not desire to be limited to the exact structural details thus illustrated and described, but intend to cover all forms and arrangements which fall within the definitions of our invention constituting the appended claims.

'We claim:

1. A garment hanger comprising an open wire frame having the shape of an isosceles triangle. approximately the upper half of the, frame being bent forwardly so as to make a considerable angle with the remainder and bring the apex a considerable distance in advance of the other two corners of the triangle.
