Valet

Abstract

A valet constructed as a case having a top, sides and an open bottom. The case houses a sliding drawer having a front panel, sides constructed as frame slidable on support guides interiorly of the sidewalls of the case and also has an open bottom. A clothes hanger is pivotally mounted on a rod inside the drawer extending from one side to the other near the front panel. The hanger is pivotable upwardly into the drawer and held housed in the drawer by a bridge member disposed spanning the open bottom of the case so that the hanger rests slidable thereon and retained within the drawer when closed and can slide clear of the bridge member and depend downwardly when the drawer is opened for hanging clothing. The hanger has arms with end portions pivotal for folding toward the respective arms for housing of the hanger in the drawer and when the hanger is depending from the drawer the end portions are pivotable for forming fixed arm extensions when the drawer is open and for hanging clothing the front panel is spaced from the case sufficiently that trousers or other clothing can be draped over the upper edge of the front panel. The valet case can be placed on top of a piece of furniture or mounted on top of a wall-hung shelf or on an underside thereof.
