FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a receiving device adapted for hanging or receiving garments, particularly to a movable multiple-step receiving device which can be used as a hanger and/or a shelf having support members with movable means at lower portion and upper portion to improve the movability, the stability and the receiving capacity.

BACK GROUND OF THE INVENTION

Some prior hanger system for the clothes and towel, etc. can be classified into 2 type, such as a movable single step hanger and a stationary multiple-step hanger. The movable single step hanger is disclosed in Korean registered utility model Nos. 20-194716 (published on October 7, 1998), 20-175287, 20-143661 (September 6, 1997), 98- 135458 (April 25, 1997), and are illustrated in Fig 1 of the present application. The movable single step hanger comprises a pair of vertical support rod 9 secured to a pair of foot-frame 3 with wheels by a connection 5, a hanger bar 13 and a horizontal support rod 8 displaced between vertical support rod, a height adjusting rod 11 inserted into the openings of the vertical support rod 9, and said height adjusting rods are fastened by the height adjusting bolt 15. The movable single step hanger has an advantage in that it is easy to move, whereas it has lower receiving capacity due to the fact that the hanger bar is single.

Some prior stationary multiple-step hangers are disclosed in Korean registered utility model Nos. 20-236611 (February 25, 2000), 20-153550 (April 25, 1997), and are illustrated in Fig 2 of the present application. According to the Fig 2 of the present application, the stationary multiple-step hanger comprises a plurality of horizontal support rods 34 secured to each vertical support rod 22 by connections 24 and a pair of vertical support rods 22 with the height adjusting rod 29. One end of the height adjusting rod 29 is fastened to the ceiling by the elastic spring (not shown) in the vertical support rod and one end of the vertical support rod is fastened to the floor, thus the hanger is mounted between the ceiling and the floor.
