hangers

Wardrobe suspension tools

Hangers are devices for hanging things, most commonly the shaped frames used to hold clothing in closets: wire hangers, wooden hangers, padded hangers.

A hanger can also be a loop or hook attached to an object for hanging it: The picture frame has a hanger on the back.

In aviation, a hanger is sometimes confused with hangar, the building where aircraft are stored—but they're different words.
