A garment hanger, according to one exemplary embodiment, includes a cross-bar having first and second ends and a hook member coupled to the cross-bar to permit hanging of the garment hanger. A first clamp assembly is disposed at the first end of the cross bar and a second clamp assembly is disposed at the second end of the cross-bar. Each of the first and second clamp assemblies includes first and second clamp members that are pivotably coupled to one another and urged toward one another by a biasing element; with each of the first and second clamp members having an inner clamp surface that has a pair of locking posts extending outwardly from the inner clamp surface. Each locking post has a locking feature formed at a distal end thereof with a resilient pad being coupled to each inner clamp surface in a removable manner by inserting the locking features of the locking posts into and through complementary openings formed in the resilient pad such that the resilient pad is securely held on the inner clamp surface by an interference fit between the locking features and one face of the resilient pad.

Garment hanger with non-slip pads

According to one exemplary embodiment, an information clip is provided and it not only resiliently engages a securing ridge adjacent a free edge of the clip holder, but in addition, is provided with a platform on which leading edges of the clip sit on when the clip is securely attached to the clip holder. The platform is part of a stepped construction formed as part of the clip holder and the platform has a rear edge that acts to inhibit access to the leading edges of the clip when the clip is securely attached to the clip holder. In one embodiment, an upper surface of the platform includes surface modifying features that are formed therein to assist in locating and retaining the leading clip edges along the upper surface of the platform.

Hanger with information tab

A garment hanger is provided and includes an elongated body, an integrally formed, centrally located hook member, and clip assemblies located at each opposing end of the body. Each clip assembly includes a horizontal lower clip, a horizontal upper clip and a vertical end clip. Each vertical clip includes a downwardly directed anchor arm which is spaced a predetermined distance from an inner surface of the end of the hanger and defines a receiving slot therebetween, into which clothing may be selectively inserted. The inner surface of the receiving slot includes an integrally formed upwardly and outwardly directly spring arm which is spring biased against an inside contact surface of the rigid anchor arm. It is the resiliency of this spring arm that creates a clamping action within the receiving slot which is used to force any inserted clothing snugly against the anchor arm, thereby holding the clothing in place within the receiving slot. The resiliency also permits the spring arm to flex inwardly toward the hanger body during garment insertion.
