Abstract
A garment hanger support for use with a transportable wardrobe is provided. Detachable hold down clips engage hanger bar brackets to facilitate securing a locking cap to the hanger bar. The clips are easily replaced to permit extended use of the locking cap and hanger bar in the event of damage to a hold down clip. Hook portions of garment hangers are received over a main channel of the hanger bar and secured by the locking cap cooperating with at least one hold down clip. The support ends of the hanger bar are adapted to supportably engage along upper edge portions of opposing vertical sidewalls of a wardrobe. Garments retained on garment hangers may be securely maintained within a wardrobe for safe transportation. The hold down clips are hand-bendable to permit easy locking and unlocking. Also, clip detachment and replacement may be accomplished without the aid of tools.
