Abstract

A strap-retaining hanger for hanging garments with straps such that the garments do not become entangled with adjacent garments and/or hangers. The strap-retaining hanger includes a main hanger body and one or more strap-retaining components. Each strap-retaining component includes a housing attached to the main body of the hanger. The housing retains therein a strap hook joined to a spring member. An actuator is used to place the spring member in compression to cause protraction of the strap hook out of the housing. When pressure is released from the actuator, the spring compression is released and the strap hook retracted into the housing. The strap hooks hold the straps of the garment and are only exposed when there is a desire to put the garment on the hanger or to take it off the hanger.
