Abstract
A garment hanger mechanism and system are provided for a multi-panel, foldable travel bag. The mechanism comprises a garment hanger member with spaced recesses for receiving clothes hangers. The member is attached to or integrated with a panel of the travel bag, and resides on the inside of the bag when folded. A removable securing means ensures hangers remain within the member recesses during travel. By using hanging means for both the bag and mechanism when the travel bag is unfolded, hanging garments can be efficiently unpacked and accessed from the travel bag without removing hangers from the member recesses. In this manner, the travel bag may be converted into a temporary travel closet within an existing closet. The bag can also be hung using just the bag hanging means from a door or in a closet.
