Claim:
A clothes hanger comprising: a hanger body including a pair of laterally extending arms having outer ends, said arms connecting at a hanger body apex with said arms and apex defining a substantially vertical plane; a hook assembly rotatably connected at said hanger body apex so as to rotate about a horizontal axis so as to define the hook assembly's horizontal axis, said hook assembly including: a clothes rod hook which extends from said hanger body apex, said clothes rod hook including an arcuate portion sized for affixing upon a clothes rod having a circular cross-section; and a door hook including a substantially straight bar which extends from said hanger body apex opposite said clothes rod hook at substantially 90° from said horizontal axis to define a second axis, a substantially straight top plate extending at substantially 90° from said bar for being positioned atop a door, and a flange extending toward said hanger body at substantially 90° from said top plate; said door hook is rotatable about said second axis and said clothes rod hook is not rotatable about said second axis when said hanger body remains stationary; said hook assembly is rotatable about the horizontal axis to a first position so that said clothes rod hook is positionable upon a clothes rod having a circular cross section, and said hook assembly is rotatable about the horizontal axis to a second position so that said door hook is positionable upon the top of a door, said clothes rod hook resides substantially in the hanger body's substantially vertical plane when said hook assembly is rotated to said hook assembly's first position or rotated to said hook assembly's second position.
