Adjustable hanger device

Claim 2

An adjustable hanger device for use with a supporting upstanding apertured panel having a plurality of pairs of holes therethrough, the two holes of each of said pairs of holes being aligned horizontally and spaced apart a predetermined distance, said hanger device comprising a support member including two spaced-apart substantially parallel arms each having at one end means for mounting thereof in an associated hole of one of said pairs of holes, a sleevelike member including a single piece of material including an upper portion extending across the upper surfaces of said arms and side portions integral with said upper portion and wrapped around the outer sides of said arms, said sleevelike member being fitted across said arms and adapted to slide longitudinally along said support member for adjusting the length of said hanger device, and an extension hook including two spaced-apart substantially parallel arms extending into said sleevelike member and adapted to slide longitudinally with respect to said sleevelike member for further adjusting the length of said hanger device.

Claim 3

The adjustable hanger device of claim 1, wherein, the extension hook has its outer end upturned to prevent hanging articles from accidentally sliding therefrom.

Claim 4

The adjustable hanger device of claim 2 wherein said extension hook has an opening at its outer end to allow said extension hook to be hung over one of said first-mentioned arms when said extension hook is not in use.

Claim 5

An adjustable hanger device for use with a supporting upstanding apertured panel having a plurality of pairs of holes therethrough, the two holes of each of said pairs of holes being aligned horizontally and spaced apart a predetermined distance, said hanger device comprising a support member including two spaced-apart substantially parallel arms each having at one end means for mounting thereof in an associated hole of one of said pairs of holes, a sleevelike member including a single piece of material including an upper portion extending across the upper surfaces of said arms and side portions integral with said upper portion and wrapped around the outer sides of said arms, said sleevelike member being fitted across said arms and adapted to slide longitudinally along said support member for adjusting the length of said hanger device, and an extension hook including two spaced-apart substantially parallel arms extending into the sleevelike member and adapted to slide longitudinally with respect to said sleevelike member for further adjusting the length of said hanger device, said upper portion having an upwardly extending ridge in the center thereof to center hanging articles supported on said sleevelike member.

Claim 6

An adjustable hanger device for use with a supporting upstanding apertured panel having a plurality of pairs of holes therethrough, the two holes of each of said pairs of holes being aligned horizontally and spaced apart a predetermined distance, said hanger device comprising a support member including two spaced-apart substantially parallel arms each having at one end means for mounting thereof in an associated hole of one of said pairs of holes, a sleevelike member including a single piece of material including an upper portion extending across the upper surfaces of said arms and side portions integral with said upper portion and wrapped around the outer sides of said arms, said sleevelike member being fitted across said arms and adapted to slide longitudinally along said support member for adjusting the length of said hanger device, and an extension hook including two spaced-apart substantially parallel arms extending into the sleevelike member and adapted to slide longitudinally with respect to said sleevelike member for further adjusting the length of said hanger device, said upper portion having an upwardly extending ridge in the center thereof to center hanging articles supported on said sleevelike member.

Claim 7

An adjustable hanger device for use with a supporting upstanding apertured panel having a plurality of pairs of horizontally aligned holes there through, said hanger device comprising a support member including two spaced-apart substantially parallel arms, means on the end of each of said arms for insertion in the holes of the panel for mounting said hanger device thereon, and an integral sleevelike member including an upper portion and depending side portions substantially coextensive in length with said upper portion, said sleevelike member being fitted across said arms and said side portions being wrapped around the outer sides of said arms, said sleevelike member being adapted to slide longitudinally along said support member for adjusting the length of said hanger device to provide a hanger device extendable to substantially twice the length of said parallel arms, said upper portion having an upwardly protruding ridge extending substantially along the entire longitudinal extent of said upper portion in the center thereof to center hanging articles supported on said sleevelike member.

Claim 8

An adjustable hanger device for use with a supporting upstanding apertured panel having a plurality of pairs of horizontally aligned holes there through, said hanger device comprising a support member including two spaced-apart substantially parallel arms, means on the end of each of said arms for insertion in the holes of the panel for mounting said hanger device thereon, and an integral sleevelike member including an upper portion and depending side portions substantially coextensive in length with said upper portion, said sleevelike member being fitted across said arms and said side portions being wrapped around the outer sides of said arms, said sleevelike member being adapted to slide longitudinally along said support member for adjusting the length of said hanger device to provide a hanger device extendable to substantially twice the length of said parallel arms, said upper portion having an upwardly protruding ridge extending substantially along the entire longitudinal extent of said upper portion in the center thereof to center hanging articles supported on said sleevelike member.
