Abstract: A two-part hanger includes a hook portion having first and second legs engageable by a second lower portion formed of first and second inclined shoulder rails integrally joined by a horizontal rail. A friction producing surface is applied to at least portions of the first and second shoulder rails and the horizontal rail. The method of manufacturing the two-part hanger includes the steps of injection molding a hook portion having first and second diverging legs and extruding a hollow tubular member. The hollow tubular member is bent at opposed ends to form first and second inclined shoulder rails joined by an integral horizontal rail. Flocking particles are sprayed over or, alternately, a plurality of strands are wound into an interknit braid over an adhesive coating applied to the elongated tubular member prior to the bending of the ends of the tubular member to form the frist and second inclined shoulder rails.

Abstract: A separable, multipart hanger includes a hook portion having first and second legs. First and second shoulder rails are releasably mounted in the ends of the first and second legs and inclined outwardly from the hook portion. First and second shoulder caps are releasably joined to the opposite ends of the first and second shoulder rails. A horizontal rail is releasably attached to the opposite ends of the first and second shoulder caps. The exterior surface of the shoulder caps are smoothly curved. A friction producing surface is adhesively attached to the exposed portions of at least certain of the first and second shoulder rails and the horizontal rail.
