Pants/hanger organizer

Abstract

A clothing organizer includes a frame having a hanger section and a clothing support section which pivots relative to the hanger section between a first storage position and a second access position. A plurality of elongated receivers are aligned along a common plane and spaced apart from each other and extend perpendicularly from the clothing support section. Each of the receivers defines a fixed end attached to the clothing support section and a free end cantilevered perpendicular to the clothing support section. A sleeve can be removably attachable to any of the receivers. The sleeve slidably engages and can be pivotable about the selected receiver. A handle can be fixed to the clothing support section at an end opposite the hanger section and the hanger section includes a hook to attach the clothing organizer to a closet rod or the like.
