  • Patent number: 4753342
    Abstract: A garment carrier includes an inner chamber. A stiff flap is hingedly mounted along a lower edge of the inner chamber between front and rear panels of the garment carrier. The flap includes a plurality of elastic shoe pockets for receiving shoes. A hanger bracket is pivotably mounted at an upper edge of the inner chamber. The hanger bracket includes a pair of spaced apart, stationary legs each of which having a resilient insert portion defining a longitudinal channel for receiving hanger hooks. Each of the insert portions includes longitudinally spaced projections extending perpendicularly into the channel. The projections on one side of the channel are aligned with, and terminate short of, the projections disposed on the opposite side of the channel. A pair of triangular corner pockets are positioned in two upper corners of the inner chamber. The corner pockets are formed of flexible material and provided with reinforcement to maintain their shape.
