A garment conveyor rack having an endless garment hanger receiving conveyor which is power driven to move around curves or corners to form a closed path, the conveyor having an uninterrupted rail to allow free sliding movement of the garment hangers in either direction. The rail is constructed of straight metal sections which are pivotally linked together at structural joints formed by a slippery pivot pin having a curved raised head which operates as a camming surface to lift a sliding hanger a slight distance out of contact with the metal rail sections before the hanger reaches the end of the rail section so that the hanger will pass over the joints smoothly to permit continuous movement of the hangers along the rail. The joints are symmetrically shaped so that hangers can be moved with equal freedom in either direction along the rail. One of the surfaces of either the rail sections or the links is preferably split on both sides of the other of the surfaces to aid in a smooth transfer of a sliding hanger from one of the surfaces to the other.
