Abstract
A foldable clothes hanger assembly comprising an elongated telescopic arm assembly (9) and a channel shaped receptacle (12) open on one side for receiving the telescopic arm assembly (9). The telescopic arm assembly (9) is pivotally connected at a first end within the lower end of the channel shaped receptacle (12) in a manner to allow the telescopic arm assembly (9) to be pivotable into and out of the open side of the channel shaped receptacle (12). A support element (18) is mounted at one of its ends to the second end of the telescopic arm assembly (9) and at its other end is mounted within the channel shaped receptacle (12) in a manner to enable the telescopic arm assembly (9) to be selectively pivoted into the channel shaped receptacle (12) or to be pivoted out of the channel shaped receptacle (12) to a horizontal position and upon which clothes or conventional clothes hangers can be hung. The receptacle (12) can be mounted vertically upon a closet wall, for example, or over a bathtub for hanging wet clothes to dry out.
