Abstract
Abstract A garment support for use in a carton includes a support bar and inverted channel-shaped brackets secured at opposite ends to the support bar. A cross connection is provided through the interior of the channel, to prevent spreading of the channel and to anchor the garment support in notches of the carton. In a preferred embodiment the support bar passes through an opening in inner channel walls and is secured to outer channel walls. Also, in a preferred embodiment the bracket has tabs which engage in openings in the ends of a clamping strip and extend over the top of the clamping strip to hold it in place and lock coat hangers in position.
