<p>A garment bag (10) adapted to fold into a suitcase-like configuration (Fig. 5) for traveling includes corner compartments (30) located within the interior of the bag in the space above the shoulders of garments (70) supported on hangers (72) within the bag (10). Cross straps (48) extend over the shoulders of garments (70) supported on hangers (72) in the bag (10), and criss-cross over the upper portion of the garment (70). The cross straps (48) support the upper portion of the garments (70) on the hangers (72) and restrain them against sliding downward when the bag (10) is in the folded configuration (Fig. 5). A stay bar (50) is removably connected across the middle portion of the bag (10) to support the garments (70) when the bag (10) is folded into the suitcase-like configuration (Fig. 5). The ends of the straps (48) are connected to the stay bar (50). A low portion (62) of an interior panel (12) of the garment bag (10) includes means for supporting the lower portions of long garments (70) in a U-shaped configuration above a bottom gusset (20) of the bag (10) instead of occupying the bottom of the bag (10) in a wrinkled bunch.</p> |
