ABSTRACT:
An improved clothes hook assembly includes a hanger web having a serpentine configuration having multiple peaks and valleys spaced along the length of the web, with short linear segments extending between the adjacent peaks and valleys. The cross-sectional configuration of the web comprises a broad T-shape defined by continuous upper and lower flanges extending from respecting upper and lower edges of the web, the flanges being contiguous with the outer surface of the web. The web is preferably integrally formed and includes a plurality of holes for securing the web to a vertical structural member such as a wall or door. A plurality of hooks are adapted to be removably secured to the web. Each hook includes a medial linear portion, and a lower arm having a U configuration depending from the medial portion. An upper arm projects obliquely upwardly from the medial portion, and both the upper and lower arms terminate distally in ball-shaped ends. The upper and lower arms are disposed in a common hook plane. The rear surface of the medial portion includes a T-shaped slot dimensioned to encompass and engage the T-shaped cross-section of the web, the engagement removably retaining the hook on the web. When the web baseline is disposed in a horizontal orientation, the hooks may be secured at each valley location of the web, so that the planes of the hooks are oriented vertically. If the web is disposed to that the baseline is oblique to horizontal, the hooks may be secured to the linear segments of the web, so that the hooks are supported with the hook planes in a vertical orientation.
