<p>A garment hanger for delicate or elasticated fabrics comprises a hook 1, a central body 3 and two carriers 5, 7 adapted to engage and support a garment. One carrier 7 is located at the end of a slidable arm 8. The other is at the end of the central body 3. The hook is carried by a support 2 which is movably attached to the central body 3. Opposing surfaces of the arm 8 and the body 3 have rack formations and a pinion 23 is located between them. Thus as arm 8 moves, body 3 moves by an equal amount. The pinion is pivoted about a vertical axis and an axle 26 thereof engages the hook carrier 2, thus ensuring that the hook remains at the mid point of the hanger at all extension positions. A locking mechanism is also provided to automatically lock the hanger against further extension once a predetermined restraining force is exerted on the garment by carrier 7. <IMAGE></p> |
