The device takes the form of a housing having two or more internal chambers. The housing has an upper hollow engaging cap portion and a lower complementary body portion where the cap portion and body portion together form the internal hollow volume having two or more chambers. One chamber includes the locking mechanism, a receptacle cavity which is accessible within the internal chamber or at a point through the housing, and an active locking element. A flexible securing member having one end permanently affixed to the lock unit within the chamber and the other end of the member having a pin which is adapted to enter the receptacle cavity of the lock unit and to interlock thereon.

Abstract: A locking device fits over the hook of an ordinary garment hanger to secure it to the hanger bar in such a way that the hanger can be moved along the bar but cannot be removed therefrom. The locking device also carries a chain or the like which can be threaded through, e.g., a sleeve of the garment and hooked to the locking device. When unlocked, the device allows removal of the lock, hanger, chain and garment as a unit, or of the lock and/or chain alone; when locked the device and chain secure both the hanger and the garment to the bar. The entire device can easily be placed and removed from the hanger and garment in an easy motion as needed. For additional security, the key may be made removable only in the locked position.
