Patent number: 6622897Abstract: A hanger has a pinch-grip including a pair of vertically-extending components, a biasing spring, and a connector separate and distinct from the biasing spring. The connector pivotably secures together the upper ends of the components for movement, prior to application of the biasing spring to the components, between a substantially unfolded orientation, wherein the components lie in a common plane, and a substantially folded orientation, wherein the components are generally parallel. The connector is integrally molded with the components and configured and dimensioned to lie between the upper ends thereof when the components are in the folded orientation, without substantially inhibiting movement of the upper or lower ends between the closed and open positions.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2002Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: A&E Products Group LPInventors: David Bokmiller, Andrew M.

Patent number: 6382479Abstract: A pinch-grip hanger includes an attachment portion for securing the hanger to a support and at least one pinch-grip for receiving an article for hanging. The pinch-grip includes a pair of components secured to each other, each component including an end for receiving the article therebetween. The pinch-grip also includes a biasing element for biasing the ends together and for permitting separation of the ends towards a fully extended open position by movement of at least one the components. One of the components includes at least one projection extending towards the other component to inhibit some accidental movement of the pinch-grip towards the fully extended open position while permitting intentional movement of the pinch-grip towards the fully extended open position.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2001Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: A&E Products Group LPInventor: Andrew M.

Patent number: 5052600Abstract: A garment hanger adapted to support an elongated rod. The hanger includes an elongated body having two ends and a hook portion therebetween. The ends of the body extend downwardly to form a pair of spaced legs each having a rod receiving portion, with each rod receiving portion being defined by a bottom wall, a back wall joined to the bottom wall and forming part of the body and an upstanding resilient tongue joined to the bottom wall and spaced a predetermined distance from the back wall to define a rod receiving slot. The back wall includes an opening therein in alignment with the tongue defined by the bottom wall, top wall and opposing side walls, the surfaces of the side walls facing the tongue each having an undercut for capturing the rod when inserted in the slot. The tongue biases the rod in the slot against the undercuts to lock the rod in the rod receiving portions.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1990Date of Patent: October 1, 1991Assignee: A & E Products Group, a Division of Carlisle Plastics, Inc.Inventors: Michael Elchisak, Steven Z.
