Abstract
This makes it easy to remove unused hangers that are not currently holding any clothes. [Solution] The hanger 1 comprises a curved hook portion 2 and a pair of shoulder portions 31 and 32, with a retractable member 5 overlapping from the hook portion 2 to one of the first shoulder portions 31. The retractable member 5 comprises a curved locking portion 51, a rotating portion 52, and an arm portion 53 extending from the rotating portion 52 along the first shoulder portion 31. The arm portion 53 is retractable from the first shoulder portion 31, and the locking portion 51 is retractable from the hook portion 2. When a downward load acting on the first shoulder portion 31 is removed, the arm portion 53 protrudes from the first shoulder portion 31, rotates around the rotating portion 52, and the locking portion 51 protrudes inward from the curve of the hook portion 2.
