Abstract
A bracket for installation in a vehicle to provide support for hanging clothes. The bracket includes an extensible and retractable rod formed by two telescoping tubes which are circumferentially grooved to hold clothes hangers in place. An adjustable sleeve is fitted on the larger tube and carries both an L-shaped hook element which can be hooked on a grab bar in the vehicle and a U-shaped bail which can be hung on a clothing hook in the vehicle as an alternative way of supporting the clothing rod. The bail can be pivoted to a storage position when not used. An adjustable brace on one end of the rod engages the window frame of the vehicle to stabilize the rod in a horizontal position.
