  • Patent number: 4087006
    Abstract: A clothes hanger bar is readily mountable and dismountable between a wall and a horizontal member, such as shower curtain rod or upper edge of a shower stall door. The hanger bar consists of a clothes-supporting portion for disposition horizontally having a bracket at one end that engages the horizontal member and also prevents sideways rotation. The other end of the rod is of Z shape with the clothes-supporting portion as an extended lower leg while the upper leg carries a wall-engaging member. The point of contact with the wall is above the point of intersection of the axis of the clothes supporting portion with the wall, so that the clothes-supporting portion is mounted in suspension and the weight of the clothes forces the wall-engaging member into firmer contact with the wall. The wall-engaging member may comprise a sleeve that can accommodate extension members of different lengths to adjust the effective length of the hanger bar.
