Abstract: A garment hanger provides both ease of carriage of a heavy and/or bulky garment and significant aesthetic opportunities. A hook is flexibly engaged to the hanger body by means of a ball-and-socket joint formed by a spherical male element associated with the hook and an ellipsoidal female cavity associated with the hanger body. The hanger body includes transversely oriented means for engaging an ornamental sign. The molded plastic of the hanger is readily adapted to impregnation with selected volatile agents and/or ornamentation. Alternatively, an elongated cavity may be provided in a lower transverse member of the hanger body for accommodating preselected elements.
