Multiple-trouser-hanger

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the invention to provide an improved household trouser-hanger for a number of trousers hung on the hanger.
Another object of the invention is to provide a trouser-hanger of relatively simple but reliable structure which may be placed in two self-locking positions for hanging over or taking off the trousers.
These and other objects are attained by a trouser-hanger which comprises a plurality of parallel horizontal elongated hanging bars, a supporting arm connected to the bars and disposed normally to the bars, a joint connected to the arm and adapted to pivotally support the arm on one of said bars, and a wall-mountable bracket arranged to receive the joint and having a horizontal pin.
The joint positioned within a substantially cylindrical chamber provided in the bracket includes a cylindrical member and a disc coaxially mounted on said pin and a pawl biased by a spring.
The cylindrical member is formed with a longitudinal slot, and the disc is provided with a cut so that when the joint is pivotally rotated on the horizontal pin due to a swivelling movement of the supporting arm the pawl is arrested within the slot of the cylindrical member and pressed against the cut of the disc when the arm is in its horizontal self-locking position or released from said slot and said cut when the arm is in its vertical self-locking position.
The invention here described consists of a device suitable for hanging a certain number of pairs of trousers, each one hung separately from the others though the whole only occupies approximately the same space as that needed for one trouser-hanger.
The invention includes a certain number of suitably spaced projecting bars fixed to an arm revolving on a vertical plane around an articulated joint.
The bars remain horizontal and parallel in the two main positions the arm can assume, namely one vertically downwards and one horizontal.
One pair of trousers can be hung on each bar.
The figures in the enclosed drawings further show, by a practical example, how the invention works:
