Abstract

A clothes hanger storage device, said device comprising at least one elongate vertical support member and a plurality of transverse hanger carrying members; vertical spacing between said transverse carrying members arranged 10 allow a plurality of clothes hangers to depend from each successive said carrying member, said device further including a hook element by which said device may be suspended for use.

1 . A clothes hanger storage device; said device comprising in a first part at least one elongate vertical support member and a plurality of transverse hanger carrying members; vertical spacing between said transverse carrying members arranged to allow a plurality of clothes hangers to depend from each successive said carrying member; said first part further including a hook element by which said first part may be suspended for use; said device further comprising in a second part a support bracket for suspension of said first part; said support bracket adapted for affixing to a vertical surface or underside of a horizontal surface. 
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said at least one elongate vertical support member comprises two parallel spaced apart elongate vertical support members; said support members interconnected at their respective upper ends by a transverse element; said plurality of transverse hanger carrying members extending between said two elongate vertical members to form a ladder-like structure. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said at least one elongate vertical support member is a single elongate vertical member; said transverse hanger carrying members extending outwardly at intervals along the length of said single vertical member; each of said transverse hanger carrying members provided with an upturned portion at outer ends of said carrying members. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said bracket includes a support structure for engagement with said hook element. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said hook element is at least 25 mm in width so as to prevent unwanted rotation when said hook element is engaged with a supporting clothes rail. 
     
     
         6 . A hanger storage device; said device comprising at least one elongate vertical support member and a plurality of transverse hanger carrying members; vertical spacing between said transverse carrying members arranged to allow a plurality of clothes hangers to depend from each successive said carrying member; said device further including a hook element by which said device may be suspended for use. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6  wherein said at least one elongate vertical support member comprises two parallel spaced apart elongate vertical support members; said support members interconnected at their respective upper ends by a transverse element; said plurality of transverse hanger carrying members extending between said two elongate vertical members to form a ladder-like structure. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 6  wherein said at least one elongate vertical support member is a single elongate vertical member; said transverse hanger carrying members extending outwardly at intervals along the length of said single vertical member; each of said transverse hanger carrying members provided with an upturned portion at outer ends of said carrying members. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 6  wherein said device further includes a supporting bracket; said bracket adapted for attachment to a vertical surface; said bracket including a support structure for engagement with said hook element. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9  wherein said supporting bracket is adapted for attachment to an underside surface of an horizontal structure; said bracket including a support structure for engagement with said hook element. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 6  comprising a clothes hanger device.
