A multi-position hanger is disclosed. The hanger comprises a hook member with a hook portion and a stem portion, a wishbone rotatably attached to the stem portion, and a pants bar rigidly attached to the wishbone. The wishbone comprises first and second arms and a hook-shaped slot defining first and second end surfaces facing a front lateral face of the wishbone. The stem portion of the hook member extends through and is translatable within the hook-shaped slot. The wishbone and the pants bar are selectively repositionable with respect to the hook member when the hook portion hangs on a support between a kick out orientation of the hanger with the pants bar positioned at a first lateral position with respect to a centerline extending vertically downward from the wishbone, and a nested orientation with the pants bar positioned at a second lateral position with respect to the centerline.

Multi-position hangers and related methods

A multi-position hanger including a main body, a hook, a wishbone and a pants bar. The hook is attached to the main body. The wishbone and the pants bar are also attached to the main body. The wishbone is attached to the main body at a first offset in a first direction from the hook, and the pants bar is attached to the main body at a second offset in a second direction from the hook. Loading the wishbone produces a moment in a first direction and loading the pants bar produces a moment in a second, opposite direction.
