HANGER FOR WARDROBES.

Application filed September 17, 1924. Serial No. 738,323.

My invention relates to a wire hanger for wardrobes, and more particularly to a combination hat and tie hanger on which hats andA ties may be hunp` in addition to other articles of wearing apparel and the like.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a wire hanger for wardrobes constructed of one piece of Wire, with a flat back and with projecting arms for hats and a wire frame for ties, and adapted to be secured to a closet door and readily detachable therefrom, the construction being such as to provide, at low cost, a hanger which will make possible the use of the backs of closet doors and the like for hanging various articles of personal use.

With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in the parts, improvements and combinations more fully pointecl out hereinafter.

Referring now to thedrawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the hanger attached to a closet door or the like.

Figure 2 is a side view in section, showing a hat in place on the hanger, and the screws passing thru the clips for securing` the hanger to the closet door.

In the drawings, the hanger includes an upper member having cross-wire portions 1, 2, each preferably on the same level with the other and lying flat against the door to pi'event displacement of the hanger. This upper member is provided with outwardly projecting arms, 3, 4;, each arm at its end being looped at at 5, 6, on which loops hats may be hung.

A lower frame member is provided having side portions 8, 9, and back cross Wire portions 10, 11 and a horizontally extending front wire portion 7. This provides a firm construction forming` an open projecting frame furnishing space for a great many articles, such as ties, uinbrellas, etc. The back cross Wire portions of the frame are in the same plane with the upper cross-Wire portions, lie against the door and help to steady the frame and keep it from rocking.

pright Wire-rods, 12', 13, form an integral connection between the back portions 10, 11 of the lower member and the crosswre sections 1, 2 of the upper member lie in the same plane with the said back portions and serve as distance and separating picces for the two frame members. The entire hanger is made from one piece of wire and the upper and lower members project at right angles from the dooi` or support.

Clips 111, are provided which hold both upright rods 12, 13, in fixed position and secure the hanger to the door. By placing the clips at the bends between the upright wire rods and the upper and lower frame members, the clips serve to take up the strain at these bends and prevent bending and possible breakage. Holes are provided in the clips 14, thru which screws 15 pass for securing` the hanger to the back of a closet door. The hat hanger is thus secured at a convenient height to receive and hold the hats and the frame is spaced at a suitable distance below.

Having thus described the invention, it will be understood that changes may be madetherein, without depar'ting from the principle of the invention.

VVhat I claim is:

1. A wire hanger for wardrobes consising of one piece of wire including an upper member having,` outwardly projecting` arms to receive hats, a single lower wire frame member for ties, said lower member having a back cross-Wire portion and a horizontally extending front wire portion forming an open, projecting frame, and upright wire rods connectin' said upper and lower members, said upright rods and said back portion being in the same plane, said hanger being' securable to a closet door or the like.

2. A one piece wire hanger for wardrobes, including an upper and a lower wire member, the upper member being provided with two, separated outwardly projecting arms and two cross wire portions from which the arms project, said lower member having` back, side and front wire portions, the back of saidtlower member and the two cross wires of the upper member being` in the same plane, and a pair of upright rods connecting the upper and lower members, said hanger being securable to a closet dooi` or the like.

3. A hanger for wardrobes, constructed of one piece of Wire and having upper and lower Wire projecting members, said upper and lower members being each provided With two cross Wire portions being in the same plane and orming a fiat back for the hanger, upright distance wires connecting the upper and lower members, and a pair of perforated clips for holding the upright Wire in fixed position, and said clips adapted to receive fasteners passing thru the perforations in said clips for securing the hanger to a ('loset door or the like.

In testiinony whereof, I have signed lny name to this specification.

CHARLES FISCHER.
