EXPANDABLE GARMENT HANGER A garment hanger has a guide body (1) and a hook (2) on the body for suspending the hanger.Two movable arms (3 4) are slidably mounted on the body for free movment together in mutually opposite directions. A locking device or stop (9) is preferably mounted on the guide body (1) for interengagement with the teeth of a ratchet mechanism (8) along the upper edge of one (3) of the movable arms thereby to lock the arms in position against: movement: in one direction preferably an inwardly direction. The movable arms (3 4) are each provided with a garment device (10,11) at their outermost ends and one of the securing devices is provided with a releasable mechanism (20) which extends inwardly of the guide body (1) below the stop preventing inward movement: of the two arms. operation of the release mechanism causes a release bar (22) to move outwardly towards the securing device. The bar moves against a cam surface adjacent the teeth of stop (9) and moves upwardly to release the stop and to allow the arms (3 4) to move in either direction. Preferably the hanger is of a plastics material and the stop (9) is integrally moulded with the guide body (1) whilst: the release mechanism (20 22) is integrally moulded with the securing device of one or both of the slidably movable arms. |
