Abstract
The disclosed garment hanger has an elongated, molded plastic body with clamps at each end. Each clamp has a pair of spaced legs interconnected by an integral web between its ends which holds the legs substantially spaced from each other. The web has a relatively thin central section which functions as a hinge. The legs are biased into clamping position by a spring which is suspended in a pocket between the handle portions of the clamps. The lower end of the spring has a substantially circular head which becomes distorted in shape and presses against the bottom of the handle portions of the legs and against the web as the clamp is opening for effecting a change in the operating characteristic of the clamp.
