  • Patent number: 4181230
    Abstract: A store display fixture for hanging garments and the like is disclosed hag at least one hangrod affixed to at least one downwardly extending rectangular or round or square tube in telescopic engagement with another rectangular tube. The inner tube includes a compression spring-biased plunger projecting therefrom and through one of a column of openings vertically spaced apart along the outer tube. The end of the plunger is beveled to form both an upward and a downward inclined surface such that the tubes are locked into place against collapse during use but may be extended by merely pulling the downwardly extending tube upward. The tubes are retractable by manually depressing the plunger and allowing the downwardly extending tube to slide into a lower position.
