Abstract

A removable clothes hanger bracket for mounting on the grab bar or grab handle in the interior of a vehicle to increase garment carrying capacity, and to protect the grab handle, interior headliner, and trim molding of the vehicle from damage that results when wire and plastic clothing hangers are hung directly on the grab handle. The bracket has a rack with an arcuate lower portion and a generally straight top portion extending between the upper ends of the arcuate portion forming an open reclining D-shaped configuration. Two opposed hook members are pivotally connected to the top portion of the rack intermediate the ends and close to form a closed loop around the vehicle grab handle. When properly installed, the rack is positioned beneath the grab handle with its top portion generally horizontal with one end extending outwardly toward the vehicle side door or window and the opposed end extending inwardly toward the vehicle interior. The rack top portion and the arcuate lower portion have a plurality of spaced hanger-receiving elements to receive a plurality of clothes hangers. The hook members are spaced apart and positioned on the rack so as to equally distribute the weight of the suspended garments along the length of the grab handle and to prevent the rack from twisting relative to the grab handle.
