ABSTRACT:
A clothing rack for retaining an article of clothing so that it cannot be removed by a shoplifter.
There is a frame with a brace bar at the lower end of the frame and a locking channel section at the upper end of the frame. A securing rod or hanger is permanently attached at one end of the brace. The other end of the rod or hanger has an extension for locking into the channel section. The channel section includes a cover which, when closed, has a bar to prevent the hanger extension from disengaging from the channel section. A clerk can unlock the cover to release the upper end of the hanger so that an article of clothing can be removed to be fitted by a customer and thereafter replaced by running the rod through one leg of a pair of trousers or the sleeve of a coat or jacket and relocking it to the clothing rack.
