Abstract
An improved hanger bar support means for the hanger bar of a wardrobe container formed from a paperboard blank. The container body is formed from a pair of side walls, a pair of end walls and a bottom wall joined together with the upper end of said body being open. Each end wall has a closure flap connected thereto and each side wall has a top end flap hingedly connected along the upper edge of the side wall and coextensive with the width of the side wall. Each top end flap includes first and second panels folded into a multiple ply hanger bar support assemblage engaging against the contiguous side wall below said upper edge of the side wall either on the exterior or the interior of the container body. Said first and second panels are hingedly connected together along a double fold line spaced from said upper edge. Said assemblage includes a third panel hingedly connected to the second panel having reinforcing flap means struck from and hingedly connected to a medial body portion of the panel for movement to a position sandwiched between the first and second panels and engaging the double fold line, the ends of the hanger bar being supported on said multiple panel assemblages between the side walls on the interior of the container body with said flap means reinforcing said assemblage by assisting in spreading the weight of the hanger bar along the double fold line.
