Abstract A hanger is provided for suspending garments, luggage and the like from any shape support which includes a mounting bracket supportable on any shape support and means connected thereto for releasably suspending a garment, luggage and the like therefrom. The mounting bracket comprises a substantially linear chord and a pair of downwardly turned lugs which depend therefrom. The lugs respectively depend from opposed ends of the chord at substantially oblique joints relative thereto. One of said lugs is foreshortened relative to the other. A thrust bearing is journalled into each lug and includes a bearing pad engageable with the surface of the support. Connected to the longer of the pair of lugs is a cantilevered arm at an obtuse angle with the lug from which it depends. The free end of the cantilevered arm is provided with means for pivotably, rotatably and slidably mounting a suspension means therefrom. One end of the suspension means is fixedly connected to the means provided in the cantilevered arm, and the other end thereof is provided with an S hook removably connected at one end to the suspension means and adapted at its other end to receive a garment bag, luggage, garment, or series of garments draped on conventional hangers.
A hanger for suspending an item from any shape support comprising a mounting bracket supportable for any shape support and means connected thereto for releasably suspending one or more of said items; said mounting bracket comprising a substantially linear chord and a pair of downwardly turned lugs, respectively depending from opposed ends of said chord at substantially oblique joints relative thereto, one of said lugs being foreshortened relative to the other, a cantilevered arm fixedly connected to the longer of said pair of lugs, said cantilevered arm depending from said longer lug at an obtuse angle relative thereto, and a thrust bearing journalled into each of said lugs, each thrust bearing including a bearing pad engageable with a surface of said suPport; said free end of said cantilevered arm having a slot therein for connecting said suspension means thereto; said suspension means comprising a link chain having a first link fixedly connected through said slot in said free end of said cantilevered arm for pivotable, rotatable and slidable movement of said link chain about its connection with said cantilevered arm.

A hanger for suspending an item from any shape support comprising a mounting bracket supportable for any shape support and means connected thereto for releasably suspending one or more of said items; said mounting bracket comprising a substantially linear chord and a pair of downwardly turned lugs, respectively depending from opposed ends of said chord at substantially oblique joints relative thereto, one of said lugs being foreshortened relative to the other, a cantilevered arm fixedly connected to the longer of said pair of lugs, said cantilevered arm depending from said longer lug at an obtuse angle relative thereto, and a thrust bearing journalled into each of said lugs, each thrust bearing including a bearing pad engageable with a surface of said suPport; said free end of said cantilevered arm having a slot therein for connecting said suspension means thereto; said suspension means comprising a link chain having a first link fixedly connected through said slot in said free end of said cantilevered arm for pivotable, rotatable and slidable movement of said link chain about its connection with said cantilevered arm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The hanger as claimed in claim 1 wherein said thrust bearings are offset relative one to the other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The hanger as claimed in claim 1 including an S-hook removably connected to a last link of said link chain for releasably mounting an item thereon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
82 words
The hanger as claimed in claim 1, each thrust bearing including a pintle pin journalled in a respective lug of said mounting bracket for rotatable and slidable movement, said pintle pin having a fixed end and a free end, said fixed end of said pintle pin being fixedly connected to a respective bearing pad, and a flanged head connected to said free end of said pintle pin for preventing withdrawal of said thrust bearing from said lug in which it is journalled.
