ABSTRACT:
Garment bags often include a door hook depending from the strap at one end of the bag to hold the bag in an extended linear condition while suspended from the top edge of a door or the like. It has been known to use this hook and strap combination to hold the garment bag in a closed or suitcase configuration. While such closure systems have been somewhat effective, such systems have been known to inadvertently release the door hook. Such closure systems have had substantial aesthetic and manufacturing problems. The disclosed closure system includes a door hook retainer loop patch which is simple to manufacture and forms an interesting and pleasing design element of the overall bag. This patch comprises a rectangular patch base fixedly attached to one end of the garment bag. This patch base has a length of webbing passing in a sinuous path through a series of aligned slots to present an aligned series of equal sized and spaced hook retaining loops. Preferably this patch includes a compressible foam insert captured between the patch base and the wall of the garment bag. This foam insert provides a biasing force which grips the hook between one of the loops and the adjacent patch base, thus reducing the tendency of the hook to fall from the loop during its bag closing functioning.
