ABSTRACT:
A garment bag is provided having a hanger support attached to the upper wall thereof, and having upper and lower clamp jaws with a connecting structure between them permitting both rotational and translational movement. A mount structure connects the upper clamp jaw to the upper wall of the garment bag so that it is inclined upwardly from adjacent the rear wall to adjacent the front wall of the garment bag. A limiting pin holds the lower clamp jaw approximately horizontally in the release position. The clamp jaws are in the form of facing channels, and have resilient blocks having a durometer of from approximately 50 to approximately 60 in and extending from them. The resilient blocks may be mounted for transverse movement in the channels, and may be spring urged outwardly as by plural, linearly spaced coil springs, and are deeper than is conventional. The hanger support is able to securely clamp and hold both plastic hangers and wire hangers.
