Abstract
An improved multiple garment hanging device is for simultaneously hanging and storing several articles of clothing or the like on a clothes hanger rod, which includes a rigid bar having a plurality of holes extending therethrough for receipt of clothes hanging elements therein, a pair of hooks pivotably mounted at opposite ends of the rigid bar, the pair of hooks being substantially alignable toward each other for being held by a human hand for supporting the garment hanging device at least during insertion of the clothes hanging elements in the holes of the rigid bar. The rigid bar has a central plane and a longitudinal axis lying within the central plane, and the plurality of holes are separated one from the other and displaced along the longitudinal axis, with each of the holes extending substantially perpendicular to the central plane. The rigid bar has a pivot hole at each of the opposite ends thereof which extends substantially perpendicular to the central plane. Each of the pair of hooks lies substantially along a circle, with the circle having a center, and each of the pairs of hooks extends along a substantial portion of the circle to have a free end and a pivot end having a pivot axis which is disposed within the pivot hole of the rigid bar with the center of the circle of the hook being located within the central plane of the rigid bar during relative rotation of the pivot axis within the pivot hole. The central plane extends vertically below the clothes hanger rod when both of the hooks are engaged with the clothes hanger rod as well as when only one of the hooks is engaged with the clothes hanger rod.
