Abstract
An adjustable garment hanger (20) is disclosed having extension members (34, 36) which move laterally on a hanger frame (22). The extension members move as a result of engagement between a pair of flexible racks (44, 46) and a medially disposed pinion (50). Disclosed embodiments include manual adjustment knobs (380) and bidirectional electric motors (402) coupled to the pinion. Embodiments also include apparatus for indicating hanger size obtained by movement of the extension members.
