ABSTRACT:
A device for gripping clothes hangers comprising a C-shaped housing having an upper horizontal frame for connection to a suitcase. A handle is pivotally connected to the upper horizontal frame of the housing. The handle is latchable to a parallel lower horizontal frame of said housing; a torsion spring having two substantially perpendicular arms fixed in the inner upper corner of the housing. An elastomic C-shape seat includes a lower horizontal part that is fixed inside the lower horizontal frame of the housing. The upper horizontal part of the seat is capped with a rigid cap which is pivotally connected to said handle and to one arm of the torsion spring. The other arm of the torsion spring is sealed inside said housing by a plate which is connected to the vertical part of said housing. The upper horizontal part of the seat is pushed downward to grip the curved portions of the clothes hangers placed inside the seat as the handle is pressed and rotated downward. An element with two latches and a compression spring is inside the open end of said lower horizontal frame. A hook on the inner surface of the handle is engaged with the front latch of said element. The hook is released from said front wedge by pressing the rear latch of said element.
