Abstract: A framed garment bag with flexible walls having exterior suspension means at the top thereof and a jointed clamp formed of a pair of pivoted channels disposed in a substantially vertical plane on the interior thereof. The upper channel of the clamp which is fixed to the underside of the top, and the lower channel which is pivoted to the rear end of the former, are fitted with contiguous edges of yieldable material which effect a tight retention of the hooks of the garment hangers disposed therebetween when the channels are clamped together in a plane parallel to the top of the frame of the bag. The upper edge of the yieldable material in the lower channel is serrated or roughened to enhance this retention as well as to provide an impediment to the movement of hooks of the hangers when the lower channel lowered to a limited extent is an inclined position for loading or unloading.

Abstract: An improved merchandising package for a foldable flexible garment bag permitting individualized compact packing and storing thereof and incorporating therein an inexpensive disposable hanger to enable the convenient and ready demonstration of the function, utility and advantages of the garment bag.

Abstract: A framed garment bag with flexible walls having exterior suspension means at the top thereof and a jointed clamp disposed in a substantially vertical plane on the interior thereof. The upper jaw of the clamp which is fixed to the underside of the top and the lower jaw which is pivoted to the rear end of the former are fitted with contiguous edges of yieldable material which effect a tight retention of the hooks of the garment hangers disposed therebetween when the jaws are clamped together in a plane parallel to the top of the frame of the bag. When the jointed clamp is open for loading or unloading the garment hangers, the controlled limited downward inclination of the lower jaw provides a convenient frictional guide for the hangers preparatory to their lifting into juxtaposition to the fixed upper jaw by the movement of a clasp of high mechanical efficiency, which movement terminates in a secure clamping between the jaws.
