ABSTRACT:
A hanger storage assembly for handling garment hangers and the like is described including an elongated hanger bar for receiving and supporting the hangers and an elongated retainer bar that is positionable adjacent the hanger bar to engage and secure the hanger hooks interposed therebetween along the length of the hanger bar. The retainer bar is slidably mounted upon supporting members projecting from the hanger bar, each including a biasing spring to positon the retainer bar in adjacent, spaced, parallel alignment away from the hanger bar to allow access for loading. The assembly also includes a latch pair that engages and secures the retainer bar in a hanger-clamping position to hold the hangers on the hanger bar. The latch is releasable, allowing the biasing spring to slidably reposition the retainer bar for loading or unloading. The hanger bar is provided with ends caps which fit into a rack having retaining clips that support the hanger bar and prevent it from rotating. In the typical arrangement, the supporting elements are fixed to the hanger bar such that the retainer bar elevates upwardly clear of the hanger bar for loading upon release of the latching members. The retainer bar is locked, clamping the hangers onto the hanger bar, by pushing the retaining bar into contact with the hangers. The latch assembly includes a resilient member that has surfaces that engage the retainer bar and hold it in place in opposition to the biasing spring until the latch resilient members are pressed clear of engagement with the retainer bar.
