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.

Abstract: An article hanger, particularly useful for clothes such as skirts and slacks has an elongated body. Except in the general area of the hook by which the hanger is suspended, the body consists of a pair of elongate arms. A pair of article clamps are supported on the body. For this purpose the arms pass through the clamps and an anchor device on the clamps embraces and grips the said arms preclude pivoting of the clamps and with enough force to prevent sliding movement of the clamps under normal conditions when supporting a garment but permitting an operator to intentionally reposition the clamps lengthwise of the body.
