ABSTRACT:
This invention comprises a latchable swivel hook garment hanger in which the swivelling hook may be latched in any radial position relative to the hanger body and unlatched to swivel, repeatedly at will; it has a hanger body containing a bore for receiving, through its top end, the elongated shaft portion of the hook member, and, through its bottom end, a latching member, such as a wing bolt, set screw, et.,; the bore is interrupted by a window-like opening in the hanger body; the segment of the hook shaft coming within the window includes a means, such as a flattened portion alone, or a detent in combination with a washer, to limit axial movement of the hook shaft while permitting it to swivel freely. The latching member is axially movable within its bore segment to axially engage or disengage the hook shaft. When the latching member and shaft are in their engaged position the latching member is operative to latch the hook member in any desired radial position; when the latching member and shaft are disengaged the hook member swivels freely.
