A clip retaining strip 19, preferably of metal, is secured to the cross bar 16 by spaced screws 20. Two spaced chair back spring clamps 21 and 22 are secured to the clip retaining strip 19 by screws 23 and 24, respectively. The spring clamps 21 and 22 thus are dependent from the clip retaining strip 19. These clamps 21 and 22 are adapted to be forced down over a chair back 25 and frictionally hold the shoulder receiving portion 15 of the hanger upright on the chair. When so clamped on a chair back, the upwardly disposed upright shoulder receiving portion 15 of the hanger is available to receive and hold a coat, jacket, shirt or other such garment. Clamps 21 and 22 can be proportioned to fit onto any style chair back. i
The modification of the invention illustrated in Fig. 3 is characterized by the provision of two inverted U- shaped chair back clamps 26 and 27 spaced on and secured to the cross bar 28 across the shoulder receiving portion 29 of the hanger. Clamps 26 and 27 have bolt openings 30 and 31, respectively, in their free lower ends, the upper bent ends being secured to the cross bar 28 by screws 32. Bolts 33 with wing nuts 34 extend through the openings 30 and 31 removably to secure the lower ends of these clamps together around the upper part of a chair back such as the one shown in Fig. 1. In this manner, the shoulder receiving portion 29 of the hanger may be held upright on a chair back.
The modification illustrated in Fig. 4 is characterized by the provision of a single wide spring chair back clamp 35 over the cross bar 36 between the shoulder receiving portion 37 of the hanger and dependent from the cross bar. Screws 38 hold the clamp to the cross bar. Clamp 35 is adapted to be forced down over the back of a chair and frictionally hold the shoulder receiving portion 37 of the hanger upright on the chair.
