Abstract
A method of manufacturing a molded plastic garment hanger having a pair of hingedly connected jaws is provided. The jaws include a thin pad of resilient thermoplastic rubber molded to the inner surface of one or both of the garment-gripping jaws. The pad is formed by injection molding during the molding cycle which forms the hanger body itself with a short dwell period between the injection of the resin forming the hanger body and the injection of the thermoplastic rubber forming the pad so that the pad and body become fused together at the boundary between them.
