"The motel, outwardly, looks like so many roadside motels in holiday spots, and many of them can be somewhat worn out or basic. This one is super nice, with nice, fun decor. The staff are great, the breakfast several notches up from typical free breakfast. "

Westport Connecticut has a serious deer over-population problem that needed to be addressed. At a Westport Representative Town Meeting (RTM) by vote it was agreed that the deer population needs to be controlled, and also by vote they decided to uphold the town's hunting ban. Some of the non lethal suggestions were air gun delivered deer birth control, also they propose to feed the deer corn laced with insecticide to help deal with the ticks which spread lyme disease.
Animal right activists were pleased with the non hunting, but some members of the RTM think it is ridiculous to try to control a population without some culling. Peter Knight thought that sharpshooters should be used to help cull the herd. "I think it's ridiculous to talk about controlling deer without some form of culling," Knight said. "How do you reduce the population? You either starve them or you shoot them."
The RTM committee would also want to have deer education programs to warn citizens of the danger deer pose to motorists, to teach them ways to repel deer from their plantings, and to avoid ticks. From WestportNow.com [2].

GCSAA award winner featured as part of golf's Sustainability Week
Paul L. Carter, CGCS, is featured in a USGA article as part of a Golf 20/20 industry initiative to highlight the various benefits of golf. Carter is part of the coverage for Sustainability Week. Carter is the 2015 winner of GCSAA's President's Award for Environmental Stewardship..
IPM Planning Guide
A complete set of templates and reference materials to help you build a plan for your course.
Sustainability may sound like the feel-good trend of today, but it means business. It's not just about the bottom line, it's about the triple bottom line: people, planet and profit. But is there a case for sustainability in the golf industry? You bet. Find out what it really means and how some facilities have made a big difference on all three fronts.
In 2006, GCSAA and the EIFG began a series of surveys on the physical features and maintenance practices of golf courses in the U.S. Known as the Golf Course Environmental Profile, the results were released from 2007-2012 and provided a baseline of information for use in the management of golf facilities but also offered an opportunity to communicate golf's environmental efforts to the public. In fall 2014, the second phase began, with a second series of surveys being conducted and reported from 2014-2017. The USGA will sponsor the profile in conjunction with the EIFG. Read more about the Golf Course Environmental Profile »
In 2015, conservation practices account for 90 percent of the reduction in nutrient use on U.S. golf courses. U.S. courses have seen an annual reduction in the usage of the three key nutrients found in fertilizer: nitrogen (33.6 percent), phosphate (53.1 percent), and potassium (42 percent) since 2006. This study displays the benefits of conservation and protection of natural resources within our golf course communities.
In 2014, U.S. golf course superintendents are using 21.8 percent less water on average and just 1.44 percent of all irrigated water in the U.S. to maintain their courses. The survey results from more than 1900 golf course superintendents. This study shows us that the golf industry has been addressing water issues for an extended period of time and is realizing positive results.
Even small steps can make a very big difference. Find tips to help you get started today, learn about programs that can help set you on the right path, and take a look at the best management practices that have been established for the golf industry.
GCSAA's environmentally focused seminars, webcasts, tools and research programs are made possible by donor contributions to the EIFG, GCSAA's philanthropic organization. Find out more about how the work EIFG does benefits superintendents and the profession.

Obamacare arguments, day 2: 'Train wreck for the Obama administration'
**Written by Doug Powers
Today was "mandate-mania" at the Supreme Court, with both sides arguing the constitutionality, or lack thereof, of the individual mandate in the health care law. It didn't seem to go well for the Obama administration.
From The Hill:
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court's traditional swing vote, appeared skeptical Tuesday that President Obama's healthcare mandate is constitutional.
Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. faced aggressive questions from Kennedy, as well as the court's other conservative justices, in the second of three days of oral arguments in the landmark case.
Tuesday's arguments on the mandate are the pivotal point in this week's debate, and the questions focused on the government's argument that requiring consumers to purchase health insurance or face a fine is constitutional.
Liberal justices on the court appeared to be more favorable to the government's argument on the mandate, and if they unite behind the law, the Justice Department would need to just peel Kennedy away to secure a majority.
But Kennedy didn't sound like he was in the administration's camp on Tuesday.
The Reagan appointee argued the court has a "very heavy burden of justification" for requiring that people purchase insurance. He also identified the insurance mandate as the first time the government has used its regulatory powers to force citizens to buy a product.
"That changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in a very fundamental way," Kennedy said.
All that after Verrilli did a nice warm-up act yesterday and got everybody in a laughing mood? In the administration's health care law defense, however, they're just now finding out what's in it.
Also today, Chief Justice John Roberts asked if the government can make people buy cell phones to facilitate response for those who need emergency medical services (silly question… they wouldn't have to because the government will give them away).
CNN's Jeffrey Toobin said Tuesday was a "train wreck" for the Obama individual mandate argument:
On Wednesday look for the Solicitor General to use Toobin's report as an opportunity to point out to the Justices that any injuries suffered during train wrecks are in fact fully covered by Obamacare (ABC: Always Be Closing).
Here's what's up tomorrow:
On Wednesday the justices will hold morning and afternoon sessions. Two questions will be before them: whether, if the so-called individual mandate is declared invalid under the U.S. Constitution, the entire healthcare overhaul is doomed; and whether Congress has the authority to require states to expand eligibility under Medicaid, the joint federal-state program that provides health insurance for the poor. Part of the sweeping healthcare law would extend eligibility to individuals with income up to 133 percent of the U.S. poverty level.
Dave Weigel Tweets:
BREAKING: Obama administration to remove stuttering lawyer from PPACA case, will assign president's cousin, Vinny.
— daveweigel (@daveweigel) March 27, 2012
You never know… it might work.
Update: James Carville told Wolf Blitzer that the Supreme Court overturning Obamacare would be the best thing that could happen to Democrats this year. Considering who Team Obama has arguing the case on their behalf, maybe they understand that and are trying to throw the game.

(March 15, 2013) -- Ricardo Romo, president of The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), received the prestigious 2013 Clark Kerr Award for Distinguished Leadership in Higher Education from the University of California, Berkeley, on March 14 at the Berkeley campus.
The award was created in 1968 as a tribute to the leadership and legacy of UC President Emeritus Clark Kerr. It recognizes individuals who have made extraordinary and distinguished contributions to the advancement of higher education.
In a statement from the UC Berkeley Division of the Academic Senate, Romo was praised for his record of extraordinary achievement in institutional leadership that reflects Kerr's vision for the role of the university in American democracy. Romo was commended for extraordinary success in promoting higher education as a model for recently founded American universities, especially those serving minority communities.
In 13 years as president of UTSA, Romo has led in transforming the institution from the status of a local and mainly undergraduate-serving institution to that of a highly competitive general campus with an array of respected professional and doctoral programs. UTSA is well on its way to achieving Tier One status with a new focus on research and academic excellence, as it attracts new talent and partners with local, regional, national and international organizations.
With more than 30,000 students, including nearly 1,800 international students from more than 85 countries, UTSA now has 24 doctoral programs and supports educational programs and joint research activities in Texas and many countries around the world. Under Romo's leadership, the university has partnered with public-sector and private-sector programs and organizations, building strong support for studies in the liberal and fine arts and science and technology.
In prominent recognition of its rising reputation and achievements under Romo's leadership, UTSA was one of seven North American universities founded within the last 50 years that were named in the 2012 Times Higher Education "World's 400 Best."
A pioneering scholar in the development of the research field of U.S. urban-immigration and ethnic history, Romo is author of "East Los Angeles: History of a Barrio," now in its ninth printing (one in Spanish), and of respected scholarly articles on the civil rights movement in the Southwest and the West. He has served on numerous national and regional educational commissions, most recently on President Obama's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.
With a strong commitment to community service, Romo has served on a range of regional, national and international boards. He is vice chair of the Southwest Research Institute board and is a member of the boards of the American Council on Education, Philosophical Society of Texas, Humanities Texas, Austin Museum of Art and COMEXUS (the U.S.-Mexico Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange).
In 2007, King Juan Carlos of Spain awarded Romo the Isabel la Catolica Award, the highest honor given to non-Spanish subjects, in recognition of his contributions to advancement of Hispanic culture in the United States. In 2011, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) named him winner of its Chief Executive Leadership Award, recognizing the rapid transformation of UTSA from a regional campus into an emerging Tier One research university.
Previous winners of the Clark Kerr Award include Nobel Prize laureate Yuan Tseh Lee, researcher in manipulation of chemical reactions using crossed molecular beams; nuclear physicist Herbert Frank York, Berkeley professor and chancellor, member of the Manhattan Project and board member of the nonpartisan arms control organization Council for a Livable World; Lee Carroll Bollinger, educator and legal scholar of the First Amendment and freedom of speech, who was at the center of two notable U.S. Supreme Court cases on the use of affirmative action in admissions processes; and Earl Warren, 14th U.S. chief justice, known for landmark decisions ending school segregation and transforming many areas of American law regarding the rights of the accused, ending school-sponsored prayer and requiring one-man-one-vote rules of apportionment.

6 Days in Paris - Where to Stay?
Report Abuse
I would recommend staying in the same place the whole six days. It takes up too much time to change hotels, time you could be out seeing the sites! Getting around Paris on foot, metro or velib is very easy so you can stay in one place and still be able to explore others.
Have you been to Paris before? I think it is nice to stay in a hotel on your first trip so you have someone to ask questions of regarding places to go, restaurant recommendations, etc. if you've been before and feel comfortable being on your own, then I'd suggest an apartment. I have rented from My Paris Visit three times and have been happy with the service and the apartments. Myparisvisit.com
If you give us your price range for hotel/apartment, then I'm sure you will get lots of recommendations.
Report Abuse
I would opt to stay in one place for your 6 nights as you will lose quite a bit of one day moving from one hotel to the next.
Have you been to Paris before? Is there an area you are thinking of staying? What is your budget?
There are many hotels and apartments listed by posters here. You can start with searching some of the threads here.

I see I was composing my response as tracilee posted!
Report Abuse
i definitely agree with the above.
public transport in Paris is so good that so long as your are staying somewhere reasonably central, there's really no point in moving after 3 nights to another place. When deciding where to stay, good access to the metro/RER is usually top of my list.
Report Abuse
I agree with the above. We will be in Paris for two weeks in mid to late September and will be staying in the same apartment for the entire visit. We're staying on the Ile de St. Louis but have previously stayed in the 6th arrondisement in hotels or apartments. The 6th is very centrally located.
I like this forum for leads on apartments and hotels. I recommend a hotel for the first trip or two. It is nice to have a staff to help you make your way about until you become familiar with the city. If you have been before, you may want to consider an apartment. Let the Fodorites know your preferences and your budget and they can be very helpful.
Enjoy your trip!
Report Abuse
Agree, for sure. Don't change for such a short stay. I prefer the left bank within easy walking distance to Ile de cite. Many people like the Marais, which is on the right bank somewhat nearby.
I also agree completely with annhig- my top priority is to find a place very close to a metro stop.
Report Abuse
the most convenient place that we have stayed in Paris so far was in a hotel in the 5th very near the Notre-Dame/St michel stop. not only is it on the metro, but it is at the junction of 2 RER lines - the RER B which is about 40 mins from CDG, and the RER C to Versailles and all stops in between like the Quay D'Orsay, Champs de Mars for the Eiffel Tower etc.
And very easy walking to the Musee D'Orsay, St Germain, Notre Dame, the Louvre, etc. etc. plus literally hundreds of restaurants on your doorstep.
Report Abuse
We will be in Paris the middle of September for 4nights then leaving for Reims for 2 nights then returning to Paris for 3 more nights. we will be staying in the 5th Arr. The first leg and we chose to stay in a hotel after many times of renting apartments in the past. We find it easier and gives us more freedom and no worries about deposits and wire transfers and large amounts of euros for the balance when we arrive.
On our second leg we will be staying in the 6th Arr. Near many cafes and restaurants and close to Seine. For first timers defenitely a hotel.
Report Abuse
Merci, everyone! I was in Paris 30 years ago, so a hotel for six nights sounds like the thing to do. I was leaning toward Left Bank, though I've been reading good things about Marais, too. Proximity to metro/RER is key, as i use a cane - I can keep up with the 22-year-old, but still Annhig - do you know the name of the hotel you stayed at in the 5th Arr? Re: budget - hoping for under 200 US$/night. Is that doable?
Report Abuse
eggbert - it's the hotel St Severin Europe on the rue St Severin on the left bank:
although it's only just off the Boulevard St Michel it's in a very quiet street which was a pleasant surprise. They are showing rooms for €153 per night in September which is just over U$ 200 I think. it is literally a spit from the metro/RER, and has a nice big lift which you may appreciate.
Bon voyage!
Report Abuse
Are there 2 or 3 of you? You might want to check out an apartment, though it might be a bit late if you are going as early in September. I've used Paris Address on a couple occasions and have been very pleased. The website is easy to navigate and search.
Sounds great that you are going with your daughter, enjoy!!

North Korea's severing of a military hotline with the South at a time of heightened tension was a provocative step, a US defense department spokesman said Wednesday.
"This is yet another provocative and unconstructive step that the North Korean regime has taken," Pentagon spokesman George Little said.
"It's very important for the regime to focus on what we think is the right course of action, and that is peace and stability on the Korean peninsula, and their provocations and bellicose rhetoric aren't helpful in the situation."
The decision to sever the last direct communication link with the South coincided with an announcement that the North's top leadership would meet in the next few days to discuss an "important issue" and make a "drastic turn."
The hotline move was relayed by a senior North Korean military official to his South Korean counterpart just before the link was severed.
"Under the situation where a war may break out any moment, there is no need to keep up North-South military communications," the official was quoted as saying by the official Korean Central News Agency.
Cutting the hotline was the latest in a series of threats and actions that have raised tensions on the Korean peninsula since the North's long-range rocket launch in December and its nuclear test last month.
Both events triggered UN sanctions that infuriated Pyongyang, which has spent the past month issuing increasingly bellicose statements about unleashing an "all-out war."
State Department acting deputy spokesman Patrick Ventrell said Washington remained in close contact with its allies in the region as the situation unfolds.
A communications channel, which allows contact between North Korea and the United States even though they have no diplomatic ties, also remained open, he said.
"We remain prepared to engage constructively with North Korea, but North Korea must live up to its commitments, adhere to its international obligations, deal peacefully with its neighbors and refrain from this provocative action," Ventrell told journalists.

I would love to say only good things about this hostel because the people who are running it are so lovely and caring.. I arrived late at night and the first thing they gave me was a cold juice. That was perfect. They also give good advice where to go. The breakfast is simple but you have a nice choice and the rooms are cleaned every day. The only drawback is that there is almost no possibility to meet people as the kitchen and the common area are not that inviting..

Nettes Hostel und Personal in guter Lage. Die Zimmer sind sauber, geräumig und es geht hier generell etwas ruhiger zu - also falls man ein Partyhostel sucht, liegt man hier falsch. Ansonsten top!

Is there a clothing company that doesn't use slaves?post #36502 of 679468/21/13 at 4:26pmSo long as the level of exploitation isn't extreme (eg exposure to toxins, need for suicide nets like apple has) I have no issue with lower wages in manufacturing companies.
China might not be a model democracy, but it's GDP and general quality of life for its citizens has been lifted tremendously by industry, compared to some of the 'democratic' countries in Africa/India.post #36503 of 679468/21/13 at 4:59pmWho makes money off a $50 pair of shoes? Once you factor in transport costs, raw materials, retail's cut, factory owner's cut, etc. how much is left for the people who made it out of the $50 sale price? You would have a hard time convincing me that most of the stuff at Target, Kmart etc. isn't the result of 'extreme exploitation'. It's super cheap for a reason - dignity costs money.post #36504 of 679468/21/13 at 6:22pm
So I ended up researching into where I could get those flush metal toe plates that we keep seeing around the forum from places like Meermin, Vass, as the shoe-makers didn't seem to be able to supply them unless they were on a pair of shoes. I've found a supplier and am going to place an order, is anyone else interested in joining in?
Image attached for clarity. If there's any interest I can flesh out pricing details.post #36505 of 679468/21/13 at 6:23pmThe materials (low grade leather, Chinese cotton, chip board and polyester) would be cheap, especially considering the buying power of the companies.
No money goes into design, and the transport costs are largely waived from low tariffs and government subsidies.
Admittedly, a lot of the practices that happen overseas are less than ideal. That said, I don't think the immigrants in Italy or America producing goods are highly paid uni graduates with health care and an hour lunch break either.post #36506 of 679468/21/13 at 6:51pm

Fxh, relating to your post a few days back, is it unwise to let shirts sit in a bucket of water for more than a few days?
Also in general guys, can someone confirm that shoulder bags/ shoulder straps are bad for a canvassed suit shoulder?post #36507 of 679468/21/13 at 6:52pm

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
I'd be interested, but also a bit wary at the same time. Once you've got the toe plates, do you think that you'll be able to find a place that will be happy to fit them - and able to fit them competently - if you provide them with the toe plates??post #36508 of 679468/21/13 at 6:53pmQuote:
So the slaves work further up the supply chain... Phew, now I can relax in my plastic shoes!Quote:
What are you talking about? It still costs money to ship stuff from anywhere to anywhere. And that cost is rising everyday with the oil price and the increase in global trade volumes. And name me one government that is currently providing an import subsidy scheme for clothing? Bottom line is the cost of getting the products to market is a very high proportion of the minute cost you pay as the consumer of these cheap goods.Quote:
Don't believe I ever said they were... Then again they earn more than a dollar a day, or 1 rupee per pair of shoes. What I'm talking about is virtual slavery, where garment workers are paid below even the measly official minimum wages, workers have no rights, and child labour is common. These practices are rife, particularly in the Subcontinent. Sorry to get on my high horse but it pays to think before you buy that $4 shirt from Kmart about what the true price is and who is really paying it. You're getting a bargain but somebody is getting screwed somewhere. Nothing is for nothing.

So I ended up researching into where I could get those flush metal toe plates that we keep seeing around the forum from places like Meermin, Vass, as the shoe-makers didn't seem to be able to supply them unless they were on a pair of shoes. I've found a supplier and am going to place an order, is anyone else interested in joining in?
Image attached for clarity. If there's any interest I can flesh out pricing details.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
I'd be interested, but also a bit wary at the same time. Once you've got the toe plates, do you think that you'll be able to find a place that will be happy to fit them - and able to fit them competently - if you provide them with the toe plates??
I did think about this, but I've had my cobbler install a similar thing in rubber already, so I can't imagine these creating any challenge for him. Of course, everyone potential experience may vary in their confidence of their local cobblers ability. I'd be happy to order an extra box and divvy them up to interested parties so they aren't all out a significant amount of money if it doesn't work, but an order requires a wire transfer so an individual purchase isn't an inexpensive exercise.
EDIT: For clarity, a box of 10 pairs (20 plates) is ~35 EUR, so a little more than 50 AUD. Shipping decreases significantly the more you buy, but one to two boxes is 20 EUR shipping, 3-4 25 EUR, etc. Plus a wire transfer fee, which varies from $22 (Cheapest I've found) to $50. One person buying one box is out about $100 AUD, but two people buying one box each is $75, 4 buying 1 is $66, etc.post #36510 of 679468/21/13 at 8:06pm

Herring Drakes arrived, quite happy with the oxblood colour and the quality seems great. Certainly the most I've spent on a pair of shoes to date, looking forward to getting home and investigating them a bit further as at this stage I'm not 100% sure the quality difference between say loake 1880 and these was necessarily worth it (for me) although perhaps that value that's missing for me is in how well they wear - and wear in overtime - as I haven't had a good chance to test that being at work and all. Either way pretty happy.Return HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear

The NM meadow jumping mouse (jumping mouse) is a rare subspecies found in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado was listed as endangered by the USFWS, with an effective date of July 10, 2014. Listing was attributed to "significant reduction in occupied localities likely due to cumulative habitat loss and fragmentation across the range". Critical habitat was designated on March 16, 2016, with an effective date of April 15, 2016. To date, there have been numerous meetings and field trips among U.S Forest Service (USFS) employees, permittees, Office of General Council members, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), and various State officials and representatives in an effort to assure protection of jumping mouse habitat while still providing adequate water resources to livestock.

The uncanny prescience of David Foster Wallace
In Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace conjures a vision of a surreal America some 15-20 years on from its 1996 publication: i.e. the present day. Terrorists are afoot: warring factions of Québécois separatists. Two of these, the Antitois brothers Bertraund and Lucien, are described as "sinister and duplicitous but when it came down to it rather hapless political insurgents" (p. 304) who are "more or less loners, self-contained, a monomimetic cell, eccentric and borderline-incompetent…" (p. 480). The brothers' shop Antitois Entertainment is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts "just up Prospect St. from Inman Square…" (p.215) "on the street's east side" (p.480).
This is about 300 feet from the home of the Tsarnaev brothers (Tamerlane and Dzhokhar), the alleged Boston Marathon bombers: 410 Norfolk Street, Cambridge.

Yes. I've just ordered the book from the library, but I can tell you from your excerpts (and from my experience covering the Quiet Revolution for the CBC, and watching the parallel activities fairly closely) that he seems to have the Québec end down pretty well, too.

Oct. 17, 1967 F. D. BUZZELLI GARMENT CONSTRUCTION AND HANGER FOR SUCH GARMENT Filed June 1, 1965 FIG. I
INVENTOR FRANK BUZZELLI BY ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,346,879 GARMENT CONSTRUCTION AND HANGER FOR SUCH GARMENT Frank D. Buzzelli, 22055 W. Brandon, Farmington, Mich. 48024 Filed June 1, 1965, Ser. No. 460,034 8 Claims. (Cl. 2-90) This invention relates to a construction which may be used in the formation of new garments. such as sweaters and jackets or may be applied to existing sweaters and jacket to convert them to the construction, and to a hanger which is useful for retaining garments formed in accordance with this construction.
Outer garments for the upper body such as sweaters, jackets, and dresses are commonly stored on hangers which include a hook portion adapted to engage a closet bar and a pair of arm sections which extend outwardly, in opposite directions, from the lower end of the hook. These arm sections may be inclined somewhat downwardly to follow natural shoulder line and they may have widened, rounded ends to fill out the shoulders of the garment in the manner of the shoulders of the wearer. However, they are all characterized by the fact that the garment. is completely supported at the upper side of the shoulder section and i allowed to drape downwardly therefrom. This is to be contrasted with the manner in which the garment is supported on the person of the wearer. In the case of a sweater, the garment receives support at the cults formed at the lower end of the arms and in a tightened portion around the waist, as well as, to a lesser degree, between these lines and the shoulders by the body of the wearer. In the case of jackets, coats or dresses a certain lesser degree of support is provided by the frictional fit between the garment and the under garments of the wearer.
A result of this disparity between the manner of hanging garments in storage and the manner of wearing them is that the garment sags and loses shape during hanging so as to provide an improper fit when subsequently worn.
The primary object of the present inpention is to provide a method of hanging a garment during storage which provides support to the garment in places other than just the undersides of the shoulders, in much the same manner as the garment is supported during wear, so as to maintain the garment in shape during storage. The method utilizes the novel variety of hanger and the novel construction of the garments. In the broader aspects of the invention, the construction of the garment is but a slight modification of existing garments and may be easily applied to them to create the apparatu of the present invention.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, which will subsequently be disclosed in detail, a sweater of otherwise normal construction is provided with a pair of looped bands at the joinder between the arm and the shoulder on the inner side of the garment, i.e., that area that is adjacent to the armpit when the garment is worn. A special hanger is provided for garments so constructed, consisting of the bar engaging hook and a pair of shoulder support bars, sloped in opposite directions, and retaining, below their extreme ends, upwardly directed hooks which are adapted to engage the loops of the garment. When a garment containing the loops is disposed on the inventive hanger, not only are the shoulders supported in the manner of a normal hanger, but support is given to the garment at the location of the loops. This tends to support both the sides of the main section of the garment and the inner sides of the arms so that the garment drapes in much the same manner as when being worn.
Another embodiment of the invention which will also be subsequently described, contemplates a garment havzontal in an approximation of the 3,346,879 Patented Oct. 17, 1967 ing special heavy reinforcement running from the attachment point of the loops to various points along the arm cuff and lower edges of the body section. These reinforced sections act to support the weight of their lower anchor points without transmitting it through to the body of the garment. This is imitative of the manner in which the garment is supported while on the wearer and practically eliminates distortion of the garment while in storage.
Still another embodiment, also subsequently described, replaces the reinforcing strips with a controlled fabrication of the garment itself. That is, if the garment is of a woven material, a heavy woven area may extend from the base of the loops and spread outwardly and downwardly to the bottom of the arms and the body section. Such controlled sections act to evenly distribute the upward force of the hanger throughout the body of the garment to prevent unnatural draping.
It is therefore seen to be a primary object of the present invention to provide a hanger for garments such as sweaters which has a pair of hooks disposed adjacent to the extreme ends of its shoulder supports, said hooks being operative to engage loops sewn to the inner side of the attachment between the inner arm section of the garment and the body section to provide support for the garment at areas other than solely through the shoulders.
Another object is to provide a garment for use with such a hanger which has loops formed adjacent to the inner sides of the upper arms, and also has reinforcing strips connecting the bases of the loops with points on the lower extremes of the arms and the body of the garment.
Other objects, advantages, and applications of the present invention will be made apparent by the following detailed description of several preferred embodiments of the invention. The description makes reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a front view of a sweater and a hanger, which represent the first embodiment of the invention, with portions of the sweater broken away for purposes of illustration;
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view through the body of the sweater of FIGURE 1, taken along the line 22 of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a sectional view through the sleeve of the sweater of FIGURE 2, taken along line 3-3 of FIGURE 2; and
FIGURE 4 is a front view of a hanger representing another embodiment in the invention.
Referring to the drawings, the hanger employed in the embodiment of FIGURE 1, generally indicated at 10, is preferably formed of wire or plastic but may be formed of any other suitable material. It includes an elongated downwardly directed, semi-circular hook portion 12 which is adapted to pass over and engage a closet bar of the normal variety so as to support the balance of the system. At its lower end, a connecting section 14 joins the hook 12 to a pair of elongated shoulder support bars 16. The shoulder support bars extend outwardly in opposite directions at the lower end of the connecting section 14 and are formed integrally therewith. When the connecting section 14 is disposed in a vertical plane, as it is when the hanger is in use, the shoulder stipport bars 16 are inclined downward with respect to the horinatural slope of shoulders.
At their extreme lower, outer ends, the shoulder support bars 16 support upwardly directed strap hooks 18. The strap hooks 18 are joined to the ends of the shoulder bars 16 by bent rounded sections 20 so that the hooks hang below the outer extremities of the shoulder bars 16 and within the extreme horizontal departure of the ends of the bars from their joinder with the connecting section 14.
In embodiment FIGURES l-3, the strap hooks 18 are disclosed as being opened in opposing directions, that i in a direction away from each other. However, the hooks could as easily be oriented in the opposite direction. The section 20which joins the extreme outer end of the shoulder support bars 16 to the strap hooks 18 is gently rounded at its outer sides .so as to avoid any sharp protrusion which might damage an article hung thereon.
This hanger is useful in retaining outer garments such as the sweater generally indicated at 30 which is essentially of normal construction, having a body section 32 and end arms 34. One of the primary modifications made to the sweater 30 to convert it to use in the present invention is the provision of cloth loops 36 at the interior side of the sweater adjacent to the lower ends of the joinders between the arms 34 of the sweater and the body 32. These loops 36 are formed of elongated sections of fabric having their two ends sewn to the fabric of the sweater at the securing point, and having their mid'sections loosely looped between the two end sections.
The sweater 30 is supported on the hanger by inserting the shoulder support bars 16 through the neck of the sweater so that they extend under the opposite shoulders. The loops 36 are then passed over the respective hooks 18. The shoulder support bars 16 are intended to extend the full length of the shoulder so that the rounded sections are disposed adjacent to the connections between the sleeves 34 and the body portion 32. The bottoms of the hooks 18 are separated from the rounded sections 20 by a distance less than the thickness of the arm at that point so that the loops 36 support a portion of the weight of the sweaten'lhis arrangement is to be contrasted with a normal sweater hanger which only has the sloped shoulder bars 16 and the entire Weight of the garment is supported on these bars. The support of the sweater at the armpit section lifts the sides of the body portion 32 and the inner sides of the arms 34 to prevent them from hanging unnaturally and achieving an ungainly permanent set.
A more specific concept of the present invention is embodied in the sweater by the provision of narrow elongated areas of controlled weaving which extend from the base of the loops 36 to points on the lower side of the sweater. A pair of these areas 38 extend along the inner sides of the arms of the sweater and at their lower ends 40 spread out to extend along a portion of the perimeter of the open cuff of the sweater. A similar set of areas 42 extend along the inner sides of the body 32 of the sweater and spread out as at 44 to extend along the major part of the perimeter of the bottom of the sweater. The areas 38 and 42 may take the form of a heavier weave or of a lining type of insert. Their purpose is to spread the upward force exerted on the loops 36 without passing through the body of the sweater. This tends to lift the sweater and prevent it from drooping while hanging.
FIGURE 4 illustrates another embodiment of the invention. This embodiment of the hanger is formed of wire bent and rebent to achieve the shape of a hanger in the same manner as conventional hangers. It consists of a hook section 60, adapted to be secured on a normal closet bar, in carrying a pair of downwardly sloped shoulder support sections 62 which extend in opposite directions. and are joined to the hook 60 by connecting section 64. The shoulder support bars 62 slope with respect to the vertical at a greater angle than the bars 16 of the first embodiment. The length of the shoulder bar 62 which is proximate to the lower end of the hook 64 extends linearly but the extreme lower ends are downwardly curved into an are 66 so that the extreme lower ends are disposed in approximately a vertical alignment.
A plurality of loop supporting hooks 68 are formed at spaced intervals along the lower side of the length of the arm 62 as well as their curved end portion 66. The purpose of these hooks is to provide means for retaining sweaters or shirts of various size on the hanger. The necessity for the provision of a variety of hooks arises from the fact that the distance between the neck and the connection between the sleeve and the body portion of a garment must be related to the distance between the loop supporting hooks and the point of support of the neckline on the shoulder supporting bars.
Having thus described my invention, 1 claim:
1. A system for supporting garments comprising: a sweater and like garments having arms and a body portion, a pair of fiexibles loops joined to the garment at the lower end of the interior side of the joinder between the arms and the body thereof,.a hanger including a hook portion adapted to engage a normal closet bar, a pair of oppositely extending shoulder support bars, and loop engaging means disposed below the ends of the shoulder support bars and supported thereby, said loop engaging means being operative to support the loops at such times as the hanger is disposed within the garment with its shoulder support bars disposed along and below the shoulders of the garment.
