Abstract
A foldable clothes hanger rail system that consist of a clothes hanger rail that is retractable when not in use. The foldable clothes hanger rail system was developed for applications such as laundry rooms where a permanent clothes hanger rail takes up too much room and is only needed on an intermittent basis. The rail is made retractable by having the rail attached to pivot members that pivot around screws fastened into a wall mountable frame. The pivot members are supported by chords or chains running from the upper portion of the frame and support the rail when it is rotated downward and in service. A rail clip is provided on the upper portion of the frame to keep the rail retracted when not in ervice. The entire system is made into one single unit to be easily mounted on a wall.
