ABSTRACT:
A support rail which may be used as a clothes support rail is provided, comprising an elongate support member and a plurality of means for receiving a hanger stem. The receiving means are mounted equidistantly along the length of the support member and enable an object, such as an article of clothing suspended from a clothes hook, to be supported therefrom. The receiving means each comprise a receptacle mounted to said elongate support member such that they are each movable between a first open position and a second closed position.
Placing the hanger stem of a hanging device within the receptacle causes the receptacle to move from its normal first open position to its second closed position. When in its said second closed position, no additional hanger stems can be placed in said receptacle.
A clothes rail comprising the support rail of the invention has the advantage of reducing the likelihood of displayed garments becoming clustered on the clothes rail after purchasers have firstly removed the garments from the rail and then replaced them.
