  • Patent number: 4858870
    Abstract: A trolley clamp for retaining hangers in a garment bag has a rigid frame with an at least partly horizontal lower support bar and is mountable below a top inside of the garment bag. The support carries a plurality of movable hanger-retaining elements between which clothes hangers are captured when the movable elements are abutted against one another. The hanger retaining elements have contoured faces with half-round depressions for matching the contour of the clothes hangers. A pivotable eccentric at the front distal end of the support bar is movable to force the hanger retaining elements into abutment or to allow the hanger retaining elements to separate from one another, allowing space for removal of the clothes hangers.

  • Patent number: 4850562
    Abstract: A clamp for retaining garment hangers in garment bags has rigid frame in the shape of a "C" with a top leg, a rear leg and a bottom leg, the top leg and bottom leg being spaced from one another to admit hangers to be hung on the bottom leg. The frame is mountable at the top inner wall of a garment bag, for receiving garment hangers by their wire hook ends. An eccentric clamp bar rotatably carried in the frame between the rear leg and a distal end of the top leg is movable manually by a user between an open position wherein an eccentric portion of the clamp bar is spaced from the bottom leg, and a closed position wherein the eccentric protruding part of the clamp bar bears against the bottom leg, clamping the hangers in place. The eccentric clamp bar rotates on an axis in a common plane with the lower leg.
