PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Trousers Hanger.
I, MAX SOMMER of Pulitzer Building, New York City, U.S.A. Gentleman
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in hangers or frames for suspending
trousers, and consists of a wire bent so as to form an oblong frame, to which the
bottom of the trousers is secured and from which the trousers are suspended.
The upper horizontal part of the frame is bent round to form an eye for
suspending the frame, and the wire is also bent back and across at an intermediate
position between the upper and lower horizontal part of the frame, and a hook is
formed at the end by bending the wire over upon itself, which hook is slipped up
over the frame to admit the trousers, a shoulder being made by projecting the wire
forwardly at the vertical part of the frame over which the hook is passed, to prevent
the hook from slipping down upon the frame.
The object of this invention is to provide a light and convenient frame for
hanging trousers in such a manner that their shape will be preserved. The said
hanger is specially adapted for use by clothiers in displaying trousers in such a way
as to exhibit their cut to perfect advantage.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Trousers Hanger.
I, MAX SOMMER of Pulitzer Building New York City, U.S.A. Gentleman
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :--
This invention relates to improvements in hangers or frames for hanging trousers
up when not in use, and consists of a wire so bent as to form a rectangular frame or
clip onto which the bottoms of the trousers are inserted and tightly gripped by the
wire. The upper horizontal bar of the hanger is bent so as, to form a eye for
suspending the frame or hanger upon a nail or other convenience. And the wire is
also bent back and across at an intermediate position between the upper and lower
horizontal part of the frame, and a hook is formed at the end by bending the wire
over upon itself, which hook is slipped up over the frame to admit the trousers, a
shoulder being formed by projecting the wire forwardly at the vertical part of the
frame, and a hook is formed at the end by bending the wire over upon itself, which
hook is slipped up over the frame, to admit the trousers, a shoulder being made by
projecting the wire forwardly at the vertical part of the frame over which the hook
is passed, to prevent the hook from slipping down upon the frame.
The object of this invention is to provide a light and convenient frame for
hanging trousers in such a manner that their shape will be preserved. The said
hanger is specially adapted for use by clothiers in displaying trousers in such a
way as to exhibit their cut to perfect advantage.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 represents the hanger as preferably made and about full size, Fig. 2 illus-
trates its annlication

page_text: It is obvious that other slight modifications might suggest themselves; for
instance it might be made in two pieces and hinged for convenience of manufacture.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner and for what purpose the same is to be used, I declare
that what I claim is :-
A trousers hanger constructed of wire substantially but not necessarily precisely
as herein described and set forth and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
