ABSTRACT:
A framed garment bag with flexible walls having exterior suspension means at the top thereof and a jointed clamp formed of a pair of pivoted channels disposed in a substantially vertical plane on the interior thereof. The upper channel of the clamp which is fixed to the underside of the top, and the lower channel which is pivoted to the rear end of the former, are fitted with contiguous edges of yieldable material which effect a tight retention of the hooks of the garment hangers disposed therebetween when the channels are clamped together in a plane parallel to the top of the frame of the bag. The upper edge of the yieldable material in the lower channel is serrated or roughened to enhance this retention as well as to provide an impediment to the movement of hooks of the hangers when the lower channel lowered to a limited extent is an inclined position for loading or unloading. The bottom web of the lower channel is provided with a slot to accommodate the shanks of one or more hookless garment hangers of the type found in hotel closets, when a need therefor arises. Also, the downward inclination of the lower channel is controlled by a vertical stem or by a continuous band surrounding the channels at their pivoted end, which cooperate with the hinge pin pivotally joining said channels.
