Hanging garment container

A hanging garment container comprising:

• (a) a panel structure forming a front wall, a rear wall and a pair of opposite side walls connecting the front and rear walls and having a connected planar bottom structure for the container to create an open top container;
• (b) a hanging garment support structure including a horizontal support member extendable across the top of the open top container between opposite side walls;
• (c) a pair of vertical support members each for supporting an opposite end of the horizontal member and each supportable on the bottom of the open to container at their lower ends;
• and
• (d) means for securing the ends of the horizontal member to the side walls to prevent relative movement and for securing the tops of the vertical members to prevent relative movement wherein the support member securement means includes a pair of juxtaposed elements secured to the interior of the side wall of the container, each element having a first interior edge portion which is opposed to the other and together define a slot for closely receiving a vertical support member to secure it against relative movement, and each element having a second interior edge portion which is opposed to the other defining a slot for closely receiving the end of the horizontal support member to secure it against relative movement.

A hanging garment container comprising:

• (a) a panel structure forming a front wall, a rear wall and a pair of opposite side walls connecting the front and rear walls and having a connected planar bottom structure for the container to create an open top container;
• (b) a hanging garment support structure including a horizontal support member extendable across the top of the open top container between opposite side walls;
• (c) a pair of vertical support members each for supporting an opposite end of the horizontal member and each supportable on the bottom of the open to container at their lower ends;
• and
• (d) means for securing the ends of the horizontal member to the side walls to prevent relative movement and for securing the tops of the vertical members to prevent relative movement wherein the support member securement means comprises a bracket having a planar body having upper wall sections defining a slot for closely receiving a horizontal support member, a transversely direct tab, positionable between the horizontal support member and a vertical support member including means for engaging the bottom of the horizontal support member and securing it against relative movement and means for engaging the top of the vertical support member and securing it against relative movement, a pair of oppositely positioned lateral transverse flanges connected to the sides of the body to stiffen the bracket and to closely receive the vertical support member, and means for securing the bracket to the vertical support member.

A bracket for use in connecting a horizontal member and a vertical member having ends which intersect adjacent to a wall structure, which comprises:

• (a) a plate suitable for engagement against the wall structure;
• (b) means for securing the plate to the wall structure;
• and
• (c) a tongue extending outward from the plate and having an opening therein for closely receiving an end of the horizontal member and having an outer end which engages the top of the vertical member.

A bracket for use in connecting a horizontal member and a vertical member having ends which intersect together and to an adjacent wall structure with the horizontal member having a narrower cross-section than the vertical member, which comprises:

• (a) a plate suitable for engagement against the wall structure;
• (b) means for securing the plate to the wall structure comprising a plate member spaced from and connected to the wall engagement plate for captively engaging the wall between such plates;
• and
• (c) a pair of vertically aligned, spaced tabs connected to the plate which project outwardly from the panel, each having ends turned inwardly towards the ends of the other to form an enclosure which capitively receives the vertical member and wherein the ends of the tabs are spaced to closely receive opposite sides of the horizontal member.

A bracket for use in connecting a horizontal member and a vertical member having ends which intersect together and to an adjacent wall structure, which comprises:

• (a) a plate suitable for engagement against the wall structure;
• (b) means for securing the plate to the wall structure;
• and
• (c) a horizontally aligned tab which is connected to and projects out from the plate and is positionable between the intersecting members and having at least one prong thereon which projects downward to engage the top of the vertical member and at least one prong thereon which projects upward to engage the horizontal support member to secure them against relative movement.

A bracket for use in connecting a horizontal member having a vertical passage therethrough near its end and a vertical member, the members intersecting adjacent to a wall structure, which comprises:

• (a) a plate suitable for engagement against the wall of the structure;
• (b) means for securing the plate to the wall structure;
• and
• (c) a projection which is connected to and extends outward from the plate and then downward to form a leg passable through the hole in the horizontal member and into the vertical member to secure them against relative movement.

A bracket for use in connecting a horizontal member and a vertical member having ends which intersect, which comprises;

• (a) a planar body section securable to a side of the vertical member with upper surfaces defining a slot between them for receiving the horizontal member;
• (b) transverse flanges connected to the planar body along opposite sides of the slot to stiffen the bracket and directed, slightly inwardly to clamp the sides of the horizontal member;
• and
• (c) means for securing the bracket to the vertical support member.

A bracket for use in connecting a horizontal member and a vertical member having ends which intersect, which comprises:

• (a) a planar body having upper wall sections defining a slot for closely receiving the horizontal member;
