Abstract

The present invention provides a garment hanger designed to maximize closet space. The device includes a garment hanger having a hook portion and a body portion connected by a retractable reel having a spring-biased spool with a cord wound thereon. The hook is substantially C-shaped and is designed to be hung on a closet rod or other means. The body portion is substantially triangular and designed to hang clothes thereon. The cord includes a proximal end permanently attached to the spring-biased spool and a distal end attached to the upper portion of the body portion. The retractable reel is configured to extend, retract, and latch the cord in a desired length. The retractable reel is also equipped with a spring-loaded pawl configured to engage and lock the spring-biased spool in a given state and prevent the spring-loaded spool from retracting the cord back onto the spool.
