Abstract
A combination of a top garment hanger and a reusable snap-on pad is provided. The hanger has a lateral opening formed through the body of the hanger. The lateral opening has an inwardly extending surface for providing a first locking surface. The reusable snap-on pad has a pair of legs and a locking tab provided on an inner surface of each leg. The locking tab has a second locking surface. When the reusable snap-on pad is mounted to the garment hanger, the locking tab enters the lateral opening and the first locking surface and the second locking surface engage each other, to provide a secure fixation of the reusable snap-on pad to the garment hanger. Also, when the reusable snap-on pad is mounted to the garment hanger, a slot is formed between the pad and the hanger for receiving a portion of a garment.
