A framed garment bag with flexible walls having exterior suspension means at the top thereof and a jointed clamp disposed in a substantially vertical plane on the interior thereof. The upper jaw of the clamp which is fixed to the underside of the top and the lower jaw which is pivoted to the rear end of the former are fitted with contiguous edges of yieldable material which effect a tight retention of the hooks of the garment hangers disposed therebetween when the jaws are clamped together in a plane parallel to the top of the frame of the bag. When the jointed clamp is open for loading or unloading the garment hangers, the controlled limited downward inclination of the lower jaw provides a convenient frictional guide for the hangers preparatory to their lifting into juxtaposition to the fixed upper jaw by the movement of a clasp of high mechanical efficiency, which movement terminates in a secure clamping between the jaws. The tight clamping of the garment hanger hooks between the contiguous edges of the yieldable material eliminates all possibilities of disengagement of the latter from the clamp under all conditions of rough handling of the garment bag in transit.

In a frame type garment bag assembly having means on the outside of the top thereof for suspending the bag while loading therein or unloading therefrom a plurality of garments on supports therefor, each comprising a vertical wire shank extending upwardly from the center of the support and terminating in a downwardly extending curved hook portion, and means for securely locking a plurality of the garment supports entirely within the bag, the improvement comprising (a) a jointed clamp disposed in a generally vertical plane and formed of upper and lower congruous channels pivotally mounted to each other at the rear ends thereof, with the open edge of each channel facing the other, (b) a horizontally disposed hinge pin at said rear ends extending beyond the external surfaces of said channels, (c) a reenforcing sleeve surrounding said hinge pin between the internal surfaces of said channels, (d) a strip of resilient material seated within each channel and protruding beyond the open edge thereof, (e) a latching device of high mechanical efficiency at the front end of said jointed clamp for alternately permitting the spreading of said channels or the clamping thereof together, for embracing the hook portions of the garment supports to maintain them in fixed position, (f) a bracket support for said clamp having an upper member affixed to the inside of the top of the garment bag with means for attaching thereto said upper channel in fixed substantially horizontal position, and (g) a lower member in said bracket support extending downwardly from said upper member to provide a limit stop for the pivotal movement of the lower channel in the open position of said jointed clamp, to provide an inclined support for the hook portions of the garment supports in the course of loading and unloading the latter into and from the garment bag.
