  "description_excerpt": "1. Field of the Invention\n\nThe present invention relates to a hanger and, more particularly, to a hanger assembly that is attached to a stand for hanging an item, such as an article of clothing, pants, a hat, a bag and the like.\n\n2. Description of the Related Art\n\nA conventional hanger assembly (such as a coat tree) comprises an upright, a base mounted on the bottom of the upright, and a plurality of hooks mounted on the top of the upright for hanging clothes, hats or bags. However, the hooks are affixed to the upright so that the height of the hooks is fixed and cannot be adjusted to fit the user's requirement. In addition, the hooks are mounted on the upright by screwing or soldering so that the conventional hanger assembly is not assembled easily and quickly.\n\nIn accordance with the present invention, there is provided a hanger assembly comprising a frame, two anti-skid pads mounted on the frame, and a hook mounted on the frame. The frame includes a first recessed body, a second recessed body, and a fixed post. The first recessed body of the frame has a first transverse bar, two first side bars extending from two sides of the first transverse bar, a first slot defined between the two first side bars, and a first stop mounted on the first transverse bar. The second recessed body of the frame has a second transverse bar, two second side bars extending from two sides of the second transverse bar, a second slot defined between the two second side bars, and a second stop mounted on the second transverse bar.",
