  • Patent number: 4997115
    Abstract: A foldable garmet hanger consisting of a plastic hanger separated at the separation points 32 with springs 24 inserted into the holes 22 at the separation points 32 and plastic tubing 26 encasing the body of the garment hanger below the base of neck 34. The foldable garment hanger can be folded at the separation points 32 so that the two ends of the cross member 30 are on the same side of the separation points 32. Upon releasing the foldable garment hanger it returns to its original extended rigid shape. This permits the hanger to be inserted in the neck of garments such as pullover shirts and turtleneck sweaters without stretching the neck opening of the garment and then to be opened into its extended rigid shape inside the garment so that the garment can be held. The foldable garment hanger can be removed in the same manner to avoid damage to the garment.
