ABSTRACT:
An improved extensible and retractable hanger assembly for hanging articles such as a garment bag is disclosed. The hanger assembly may be mounted on a wall adjacent a projecting corner, for example, or on the top or bottom of a shelf. The hanger assembly includes a plate preferably with at least two sets of holes that are adapted to receive a plurality of fasteners therethrough. The hanging articles are hung on a hanger rod with an easy grip knob at one end which also prevents the articles from falling off the rod. The rod also has a boss projecting outwardly from the rod. The rod may be selectively extended from and retracted into a rod channel which is included in a mounting sleeve. A guide channel which is smaller than the rod channel is adapted to slidably receive the boss and prevent the rod from rotating about its longitudinal axis in the rod channel. The guide channel includes a stop which prevents withdrawal of the rod from the mounting sleeve. Flanges extend along edges of the rod channel and have a plurality of openings which correspond to the holes in the plate. The openings of the flanges are aligned with corresponding holes in the plate to receive fasteners therethrough for mounting the mounting sleeve in proximity to the plate and for then securing the hanger assembly to a wall or shelf. If the hanger assembly is connected to a ventilated shelf having a plurality of openings therethrough, a U-shaped fastener is inserted through the openings in the shelf, then into a pair of holes in the plate and then through a pair of openings in the flanges. The U-shaped fastener is further secured by two capped nuts which are attached to each leg of the fastener.
