Security-type garment hanger

摘要

A security-type garment hanger capable of being attached against removal to a rack or similar support and capable of preventing a garment from being removed from the hanger. The coat hanger includes a metal bar which fits on the underside of one of a pair of inclined shoulder supporting members which are joined at their upper ends. The bar has an upper part which projects upwardly from the junction of the shoulder supporting members, the upper part providing a threaded stud capable of being attached to any one of a number of various types of racks. The other end of the metal bar has fastened to it a length of chain or other type of flexible member. In one embodiment, the free end of the chain is passed through the sleeve of a garment and looped up from the bottom of the garment through its interior and padlocked to the chain near the point where the chain is fastened to the metal bar. In another embodiment, a pair of rigid disks larger in diameter than the maximum transverse dimension of a buttonhole of the garment are padlocked to the length of chain after the disks are placed on opposite sides of the buttonhole so as to capture the fabric between them in a sandwich-like fashion.
