Abstract: A foldable clothes hanger comprising two foldable arms (17,22) mounted pivotably on a common axis (8), each arm (17,22) having a part provided with a toothed arcuate rack (14,19) engaging a pinion (24,23) that is mounted pivotally on an adjacent parallel axis (9). Each of the arms (17,22) carries a generally arcuate limb provided with latch means (13,18), and the hanger comprises catch means (5,4) to engage with the latch means (13,18). Means (3) are provided to effect resilient engagement between the latch means (13,18) and the catch means (13,18), and release means (6,28), e.g. comprising an integral pushbutton (28), are manually operable to counter the resilient engagement and permit disengagement of the latch means (13,18) and the catch means (5,4).
