Abstract:
A foldable garment hanger capable of being selectively positioned between a folded position, to facilitate storage and carrying, and an expanded position to facilitate removable support of a garment thereon. Two body portions are pivotally attached to one another so as to be selectively positioned between the folded and expanded positions wherein each body portion includes an arm member having an arm extension for varying the length of the arm thereby making the hanger assembly adaptable for garments of various sizes and increasing a collapsibility thereof. A support assembly is secured to the body of the hanger assembly and is structured to support the hanger with a garment thereon in a depending, suspended position from a supporting structure such as within an automobile or like vehicle or other more conventional location. A handle assembly is selectively positionable relative to a remainder of the hanger body between a stored position and an operative position and is structured to effectively lock the hanger body in its expanded position when the handle assembly is in its operative position. Alternately, the handle assembly is cooperatively structured with a remainder of the garment body so as to facilitate disposition of the hanger body from its expanded position into the folded position when the handle assembly is in its stored position.
