Suiter Swantz IP takes a look back at past inventions and inventors with our Patent Of The Day.

On this day in 1905, Augustus T. Knorzer was granted U.S. Patent No. 783,286 for a TROUSERS PRESSER.

This invention relates to means for pressing trousers, and has for its object to provide an improved device for the support of trousers when not in use and arranged to stretch and crease the same, and thereby maintain them in proper shape.

Another object of the invention is to facilitate the application and removal of the device and to permit of the same being folded into compact form for convenience in transportation and storage when not required for use.

It is furthermore designed to arrange the device so as to constitute a hanger for the trousers without taking up any more room than an ordinary pair of trousers in order that the device may be especially adapted for use in wardrobes, closets, and the like.
