Adjustable clothing hanger

Abstract

An adjustable garment hanger comprises a hanger body having legs extending in a hanger widthwise direction. First and second leg extensions are each adjustably engaged to a leg of the hanger body to determine an overall width along the widthwise direction of the garment hanger. A collar support extends upwardly from the hanger body. The collar support comprises first and second posts, each extending at an angle to a respective one of the legs. The first and second posts are spaced apart by a distance approximating the widthwise dimension of a garment collar. A spacer extends on opposite sides of the hook-shaped member in a horizontal, profile direction that is perpendicular to the widthwise direction. The spacer has a thickness along the horizontal, profile direction approximately equal to an overall thickness of the leg extensions taken along the horizontal, profile direction. The spacer functions to space the hanger centerline from centerlines of adjacent hangers hung on a common rod to prevent excessive contact on a garment hung on the hanger by adjacent hung garments.
