Abstract: An apparatus for retaining mounted garment hangers or other hook-shaped members on a hanger rod. A housing is mounted with respect to the hanger bar. The housing has a bore within which a pin is slidably mounted. A retaining rod is secured with respect to the pin so that the retaining rod follows sliding movement of the pin with respect to the housing. A bias force urges the pin into a normally open position. A lock member is mounted within another bore within the housing, so that the lock member slides with respect to the housing. The pin and the lock member preferably engage with each other to actuate the pins between an open position and a locked position. In the locked position of the pin, the retaining bar forces the garment hangers or other hook-shaped members against the hanger rod.

Abstract: A hanger caddy transporter includes a rectangular frame and two hooks for coupling the transporter to a trolley. A pair of slidable blocking members move between an upper position to retain the hooks on the trolley and a lower position to release the hooks from the trolley. The hooks are adjustably mounted on the transporter to allow the separation between the hooks to be adjusted as desired.

Abstract: A garment hanger caddy includes a stiff tubular member and a relatively stiff retainer strip secured to the tubular member by a pair of latching members. Each latching member includes an embossed rigde on a central portion of one part thereof positioned to make the latching member stiffer at its central portion than at either end. The latching members can be positioned conventionally with their actuating axes parallel to the longitudinal axis of the caddy, or in a rotated position in which the actuating axes are transverse to the longitudinal axis.
