ABSTRACT:
A garment anti-theft device for captively receiving at least one clothes hanger of the type having a hook with a free distal end for receiving a support arm of a garment rack to suspend the hanger therefrom. The garment anti-theft device includes a body having at least one opening therein of a size large enough to receive a free distal end of a hook of a hanger introduced by movement of the hanger free end in a first direction into the opening. A cover is attached to the body for movement selectively between an open position and a securing position. The cover, in its position, allows the free distal end of the hanger to be directed in a first direction into the body opening so that the hanger is supported in an operative position on at least one of the support arm on a clothes rack and the body and out of the opening by movement of the free distal end of the hanger oppositely to the first direction. The cover, in its securing position, locks a hanger in an operative position, preventing the free distal end of the hanger from being moved oppositely to the first direction out of the body opening. A lock is provided for locking the cover in its securing position. The cover is of a size preventing the mouth of a hanger from receiving the cover when the cover is in the securing position. The cover can be in the securing position only when the lock is in a locked position.
