ABSTRACT:
An improved unitary molded foldable changer is provided for garments and the like. The hanger incorporates a pair of garment supporting arms which articulate between an outwardly extended opposed relationship and a lowered adjacent relationship about a hinge positioned between bottom portions of each arm shoulder. An upwardly arcuate elongated link is interconnected at each of its respective opposite ends through a hinge to a different respective one of the arm shoulder top portions which are in longitudinally spaced relationship to one another. The link further includes a mid-location hinge, and a latch assembly for cross connection, and an integral hook for engagement with a closet bar or the like. The link is so configured that, when the arms are in the extended and garment supporting position, the hook is suitably oriented and the latch assembly is engaged to lock the arms in the extended position. When the arms are in the collapsed position, a detent member on each underside of each arm is engagable with the other to lock the arms together for transport or storage purposes. The hanger can be opened or closed using one hand.
