Systems for hanging and storing articles of clothing in confined spaces

A clothing storage system comprising:

• a pair of mounting brackets, wherein each mounting bracket comprises a mounting plate configured to attach the mounting bracket to a wall;
• a rod supported by the mounting brackets and configured to receive at least one foldable hanger assembly;
• and
• at least one foldable hanger assembly configured to hang from the rod, wherein the at least one foldable hanger assembly comprises:
• a first frame component comprising a hook extending from a top of the first frame component;
• a second frame component;
• and
• a hinge assembly that connects the first frame component and the second frame component, wherein the hinge assembly comprises:
• a first hinge insert attached to the first frame component, wherein one of (i) the first hinge insert is configured to enclose two ends of the first frame component, and wherein the two ends of the first frame component enclosed within the first hinge insert are slightly offset from each other, thereby inhibiting rotational movement of the two ends of the first frame component within the first hinge insert or (ii) a portion of the first frame component extends through and is enclosed within the first hinge insert, wherein at least some of the portion of the first frame component enclosed within the first hinge insert is at least partially deformed, thereby inhibiting rotational movement of the portion of the first frame component within the first hinge insert;
• a second hinge insert attached to the second frame component, wherein one of (i) the second hinge insert is configured to enclose two ends of the second frame component, and wherein the two ends of the second frame component enclosed within the second hinge insert are slightly offset from each other, thereby inhibiting rotational movement of the two ends of the second frame component within the second hinge insert or (ii) a portion of the second frame component extends through and is enclosed within the second hinge insert, wherein at least some of the portion of the second frame component enclosed within the second hinge insert is at least partially deformed, thereby inhibiting rotational movement of the portion of the second frame component within the second hinge insert;
• and
• a hinge clip that connects the first hinge insert to the second hinge insert, wherein the hinge clip is configured to allow the first frame component and the second frame component to pivot relative to each other from a horizontally open configuration into a horizontally closed configuration, and wherein the hinge clip is configured to hold the first frame component and the second frame component in any position between the horizontally open configuration and the horizontally closed configuration.
