Abstract
A garment hanger of the garment clamping type has a pair of jaws, the first one of which is integral with the hanger body and the other is pivotal about the top of the first jaw. A resilient clip slidably seated over the tops of the jaws resiliently holds the jaws in garment clamping position. The front face of the pivoted jaw has an elongated recessed channel to guide the user's finger to engage the clip and slide it into release position. The jaws are so designed that the free end of the pivoted jaw can pass a limited distance through the bottom of the first jaw when no garment is present.
