An article hanger having a frame made from formed wire elements defining a bottom wall to support an article and a peripheral wall projecting upwardly from the bottom wall, with the bottom wall and peripheral wall cooperatively defining an upwardly opening receptacle for an article. The frame has a front and rear, a top and bottom, and laterally spaced sides. The receptacle has a width between the sides of the frame. The frame has laterally spaced first and second sections, each defining a part of the bottom wall and the peripheral wall. The first and second frame sections are relatively repositionable between a) a first relative position wherein the receptacle has a first width and b) a second relative position wherein the receptacle has a second width that is different than the first width. There are cooperating first and second surfaces, one each on the first and second frame sections, which confront each other with the frame sections in the first relative position to maintain the first and second frame sections consistently in the first relative position. Third and fourth surfaces, one each on the first and second frame sections, confront each other with the frame sections in the second relative position to maintain the first and second frame sections consistently in the second relative position.

[ We claim:] [1.] An article hanger comprising:a frame comprising formed wire elements with edges cooperatively defining a bottom wall to support an article and a peripheral wall projecting upwardly from the bottom wall and defining in conjunction with the bottom wall an upwardly opening receptacle for an article, which receptacle has a width between the sides of the frame and a volume,the frame having a front and rear, a top and bottom, and laterally spaced sides,the frame having laterally spaced first and second sections each defining a part of the bottom wall and the peripheral wall,the first and second frame sections being movable guidingly against and relative to a part of the frame along a first line and thereby relatively repositionable between a) a first relative position wherein the receptacle has a first width and first volume and b) a second relative position wherein the receptacle has a second width that is different than the first width and a second volume that is different than the first volume,there being cooperating first and second surfaces, one each on the first and second frame sections, which confront each other with the frame sections in the first relative position to releasably maintain the first and second frame sections consistently in the first relative position,there being third and fourth surfaces, one each on the first and second frame sections, which confront each other with the frame sections in the second relative position to releasably maintain the first and second frame sections consistently in the second relative position,the first and second frame sections being relatively guidingly movable along the first line from the first relative position to and beyond the second relative position to a third relative position wherein the receptacle has a third volume different than the first and second volumes.
