Abstract

Apparatus provides multiple pivotal rods or dowels for hanging many garments such as trousers or skirts in a confined space. An elongate base is mounted on a vertical wall with its long axis vertical. An elongate rigid bar having a circular cross section is mounted at both ends to the base, with the bar vertical and spaced away from the base. The bar supports multiple horizontal parallel rods pivotally mounted, one atop the other, by a transverse hole through one end of each rod. A spacer is interposed between adjacent rods to allow sufficient space for a garment folded over the rod. Any garment may be accessed by simply swinging all of the garments above it to one side and all of the garments below it to another side of the bar, leaving the garment free on its rod.
