Abstract
Abstract A combined shelf-support and easily detachable support for a clothes-hanger rod comprises a pair of angle-bar sections. The vertically depending wall-anchorable web of each angle-bar has a pair of struck-out tongues. A pair of flexible woven strips have their ends doubled-back and stitched to form loops snugly removably engageable over the tongues to define cradle-like supports for the ends of a clothes-hanger rod.
