The clip also has a flexible connecting member that connects left and right sides of the clip, such that the clip can be opened and closed around the tension pole. The clip may have an outwardly-extending faceplate which is engageable with a collar. The collar may hold the clip in a closed position and may be attached to other items, such as a shelf.

  • Patent number: 5143214
    Abstract: A hanging wardrobe garment storage bag is provided with a garment support rod that hangs directly from an overhead clothes rod rather than from the frame of the garment bag. The garment bag has a conventional rigid wire frame with an upper portion formed into a rectangular wire loop. The rigid, rectangular loop is suspended from the overhead clothes rod by a frame hook which extends up through a central opening in the top of a flexible garment cover. A linearly extending wire garment rack rod is located below the wire garment bag frame and extends parallel to the overhead clothes rod. A pair of garment rack hooks are secured to the garment rack rod and extend up through openings in the flexible garment cover to hang directly from the clothes rod. The garment rack thereby hangs directly from the clothes rod so that the weight of garments stored within the bag does not bear on the garment bag frame.

  • Patent number: 5071003
    Abstract: A flexible garment bag which requires no rigid frame is provided for protecting clothes hanging in a closet. The hanging garment bag of the invention is provided with a pair of longitudinally aligned closet rod apertures near the upper extremities of the opposite end walls and a closure flap extending from one side wall over the top of the garment bag to overlap the opposite side wall of the bag. The flap extends longitudinally between the end walls and spans a rod access opening slot that extends between the closet rod apertures. The closure flap is releasably securable to the opposite side wall so that the garment bag may be raised from beneath and installed with the overlapping flap supported atop a closet rod such that the closet rod supports the garment bag. A T-shaped access opening divides one of the flexible side walls into vertically elongated sections and is provided with a zipper. Fabric hook and loop releasable fastening strips hold the tops of the vertically elongated sections shut.
