LOCKING TROLLEY FOR HANGERS Abstract of the Disclosure A locking trolley (10) for gripping and locking the hooked ends (26) of hangers (20) in a garment bag (14) includes a C-shaped frame member (30) and a jaw member (40) extending forward from the rear of the C-shaped frame member. Gripping pads (60, 62) for gripping the hooked ends of the hangers are located between the lower horizontal portion (52) of the C-shaped frame member and the jaw member. A locking arrangement operatively moves the jaw member toward the lower horizontal portion of the frame member to cause the gripping pads to grip the hanger ends and also locks the jaw member in the hanger gripping position. The locking arrangement preferably takes the form of a locking lever (46) pivotably connected to the forward end of the jaw member. The locking lever pivots between the jaw member and the upper horizontal portion of the frame member to hold the jaw member in the locked position. To release the locked relationship the locking lever is grasped and pivoted between the jaw member and the upper horizontal portion of the frame member. A lip structure (100) at the forward end of a gripping pad serves as an obstruction to the move- ment of the hangers from between the locked trolley. A predetermined structural configuration (110, 112, 114, 116) of the gripping pad increases the compressibility of the resilient gripping pads for better gripping flexibility around the hangers.
