Abstract
A garment hanger has an elongate bar structure (3) having a hook (5) by which the hanger can be suspended; a pair of limbs (9) each carry a garment retaining element (17) and are hingedly secured to a respective end portion of the bar structure by at least two parallel links (13) such that the portions of the limbs are substantially parallel to the end portions of the bar structure. Each limb has resilient means (for instance by being a leaf spring) which resist inward movement of the limb in the direction towards the other limb. The hanger can readily be formed from a single plastics moulding. The construction provides for garments of different size to be hung at the same level and avoids creep in the garment.
