  • Patent number: 5071003
    Abstract: A flexible garment bag which requires no rigid frame is provided for protecting clothes hanging in a closet. The hanging garment bag of the invention is provided with a pair of longitudinally aligned closet rod apertures near the upper extremities of the opposite end walls and a closure flap extending from one side wall over the top of the garment bag to overlap the opposite side wall of the bag. The flap extends longitudinally between the end walls and spans a rod access opening slot that extends between the closet rod apertures. The closure flap is releasably securable to the opposite side wall so that the garment bag may be raised from beneath and installed with the overlapping flap supported atop a closet rod such that the closet rod supports the garment bag. A T-shaped access opening divides one of the flexible side walls into vertically elongated sections and is provided with a zipper. Fabric hook and loop releasable fastening strips hold the tops of the vertically elongated sections shut.
