An injection molding apparatushas a cavityand coreco-operatively defining a void of inverted J-shape transverse cross-section for molding a garment hanger. A first legof the J-shape cross-section forms a front of the garment hanger, a baseof the J-shape cross-section forms a transversely arcuate upper face of the garment hanger for receiving shoulders of a garment to be suspended from the garment hanger and a second leg, opposed to the first leg, and substantially shorter than the first leg, forms a return rear portion of the garment hanger. A garment hanger molded in the injection molding apparatus is also disclosed.

Garment hanger and molding apparatus

A garment hanger has a bodywith a longitudinal axis. A movable first armis slidably mounted on the body for free movement with respect to the body substantially along the longitudinal axis. A constant or decreasing force springapplies a resilient force to the first arm to urge the first arm outwards of the body so that the first arm is able to move between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the body. The resilient force exerted by the garment hanger remains substantially constant or increases between a fully retracted position and a fully extended position.
