Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a multi-stage hanger, the most common type is a frame-like frame having a hook at the center of its upper side, in which a plurality of horizontal rails are horizontally mounted at vertical intervals between the left and right vertical rails. It is publicly known that a structure is provided, and a hanging rod of a hook-shaped frame composed of a vertical rod portion and a horizontal rod portion is attached to the vertical rod portion in a cantilever state (supported only on one side). There is.

However, according to the above-mentioned hanger, there is an inconvenience that the clothes are unhooked and unhooked only in the front and rear direction because the four circumferences are closed.

On the other hand, the hanger is convenient because the clothes can be hung on and removed from this side because one side is open.

However, even with this hanger, since the hanging bars are fixed, the hanging bars and the clothes which are vertically adjacent to each other are obstructive when hanging the clothes, which makes the hanging work still troublesome.

Therefore, as a countermeasure against this point, FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, one end of each hanging rod 1 ...
a is provided, and the cylindrical portion 1a is connected to the vertical rod portion 2 of the hook-shaped frame 2.
