Abstract
The disclosure is of a trousers or skirt hanger comprising a horizontal beam provided with a support hook, and having integrally formed with each end thereof, a depending clamp frame or jaw, with a garment gripper at the lower end thereof, each depending clamp frame or jaw being opposed by another clamp frame or jaw pivoted thereagainst at a mid-point, and furnished at the lower end by a garment gripper engageable against the gripper of the first-mentioned jaw. An inverted U-spring surrounds the pivot of the two jaws, and has arms which act normally to spread the two jaws apart at the top, whereby the lower ends of the jaws act through their grippers to press the grippers against one another at the bottom. The grippers are opened to receive a garment between them by pressing handle parts by the two jaws together at the top. A guard means is provided to prevent the movable handle part from being squeezed sufficiently to drop the garment when a number of the hangers, with garments suspended thereby, are overcrowded on a single hanger pole.
