Abstract: A garment hanger is provided and includes an elongated body, an integrally formed, centrally located hook member, and clip assemblies located at each opposing end of the body. Each clip assembly includes a horizontal lower clip, a horizontal upper clip and a vertical end clip. Each vertical clip includes a downwardly directed anchor arm which is spaced a predetermined distance from an inner surface of the end of the hanger and defines a receiving slot therebetween, into which clothing may be selectively inserted. The inner surface of the receiving slot includes an integrally formed upwardly and outwardly directly spring arm which is spring biased against an inside contact surface of the rigid anchor arm. It is the resiliency of this spring arm that creates a clamping action within the receiving slot which is used to force any inserted clothing snugly against the anchor arm, thereby holding the clothing in place within the receiving slot.

Abstract: A garment hanger of the garment clamping type has a pair of jaws, the first one of which is integral with the hanger body and the other is pivotal about the top of the first jaw. A resilient clip slidably seated over the tops of the jaws resiliently holds the jaws in garment clamping position. The front face of the pivoted jaw has an elongated recessed channel to guide the user's finger to engage the clip and slide it into release position. The jaws are so designed that the free end of the pivoted jaw can pass a limited distance through the bottom of the first jaw when no garment is present.

Abstract: A garment retainer includes a saddle member having an open channel which is disposed over a garment folded over the crossbar of a conventional clothes hanger. At least two resilient members have portions which span the open channel and which are urged into said channel by the crossbar when a downward pressure is exerted on the retainer via the compression of a pair of flexible strips which are part of the retainer and which engage a portion of the hanger above the crossbar, whereby a pressure is exerted on the garment so that said garment is retained on the hanger without sliding or wrinkling thereon.

Abstract: The garment hanger has an upper part, in the shape of a head and of a torso. The head has a lateral recess forming a hook to suspend the garment hanger which further includes a hip-shape lower part adapted to be removably suspended from the upper part. The upper part is adapted to support and display an upper body-covering garment, such as a corsage, shirt, vest and the like, while the lower part is adapted to support and display a lower body-covering garment, such as a skirt, pants and the like. The lower part includes a U-shape member defining a bight and a pair of upwardly converging legs and a generally oval loop member extending across and secured at its ends to the upper ends of said legs and disposed in a plane normal to the plane of the U-shape member. A suspension rod upstands from and is fixed to the center of the bight portion and extends through, spacedly from and above the shaping member to be terminated by a hook at its upper end for detachable connection with the upper part.

Abstract: The adjustable garment hanger of the present invention has a main body member having a pair of oppositely extending arms engaged within a pair of auxiliary sleeves which may be adjusted to provide a hanger arm of variable lengths. Each of the opposed arms is biasable such that the sleeve may be slideably moved over the arm. The sleeves are held in a fixed position relative to the main body member when the arm is in an unbiased position. The sleeves are provided with support means which are slideably engaged with the underside of the top edge of the main body member so that when the sleeves are extended to their greatest extremity, no dipping occurs.
