A garment container apparatus includes a rigid outer structure having hingably connected first and second storage sections with rigid side walls defining opposite sides of the container when closed. The first storage section has at its base, adjacent the hinged connection with the second storage section, a plurality of moveable storage enclosures. The enclosures are hingably connected to the base for swinging movement between a stored position and an open position. The first storage section also includes a garment support structure having two support members attached at a 90°angle to each other. One support member is pivotally connected to opposed margin walls of the first storage section for opening and closing movement. A mounting structure including an inflatable bladder and a cooperating restraint bar is integral to the pivot mounted support member and defines a compression zone therebetween. The remaining support member is in a vertical attitude when the garment support structure is opened and is adapted to retain a clothing hanger. A garment placed on the hanger is secured between the restraint bar and the inflatable bladder, and air pressure is applied to the bladder so that the garment is held and prevented from wrinkling. When it is desired to close the container, the garment support structure is unlatched and rotated downward and locked into secured position by replacement of the moveable enclosures to a stored position. In this rotation, the bladder, bar and garment remain in a fixed position relative to each other.

In a rigid garment container having hingably connected first and second storage sections, the improvement comprising: a first support member pivotally connected to opposed marginal walls of said first storage section for pivotal movement between a first open position and a second closed position; a second support member having a first end permanently engaged with said first support member in 90°relation therewith, and a second end adapted to removably receive a plurality of clothing hangers; said first support member including mounting structure adapted to removably receive cushioned restraint means; said mounting structure further including inflatable bladder means disposed opposite said restraint means and defining a compression zone therebetween; said compression zone adapted to receive a plurality of garments therein when said garments are disposed on said clothing hangers; said bladder means, said garments and said restraint means pivoting about the same point and remaining in the same relationship to each other when said first support member is pivoted between said first open position and said second closed position.
