Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9510968A1] A space-saving clothes hanger rod structure (10) is provided which holds clothes hangers (11), and clothes hanging thereon, in an optimal angled position within a closet. There is provided a generally V-shaped rod (10), when viewed in cross section, including two upwardly extending members (15, 16) extending at an angle up from a common base point (17), defining a V-shaped gap therebetween. Both of the upwardly extending members (15, 16) contain at their respective outer, spaced-apart edges (15b, 16b) a plurality of respective longitudinally spaced slot-like channels (18a-c), each channel being adapted to receive a portion of the arcuate surface (19a) of a hanger hook, so that the respective hanger hooks are held in place at two spaced-apart points along the arcuate surface (19a) of the hook. As a result, the respective hanger hooks (11) are prevented from moving and rotating off of the angle of the channel (18a-c), preferably about 50 degrees. Therefore, clothes may be hung within a closet having a minimal depth therein.
