Abstract: A ship-on garment hanger having shielding means at each end of the hanger body to prevent dislodgement of a garment from the hanger by downwardly and inwardly directed dislodging forces, the hanger and the front and rear jaws of the clamp assemblies at the ends of the hanger body being formed integrally in one piece so that the hanger is ideally suited for production by the chain molding technique and consists of only three separate parts including two spring clips.
Abstract: An articulatable ship-on garment hanger having shielding means on the hanger body to prevent dislodgement of a garment from the hanger by outwardly directly dislodging forces, said means extending downwardly over the outside edges of the clamps to prevent dislodgement of a garment from a hanger by inwardly directed dislodging forces, the hanger having a pivot bar and the clamps having associated bar receiving structure which allows the clamps to swivel about the pivot bar in response to dislodgement forces imposed on the clamp means to thereby enable the clamp means to remain in gripping engagement with the hung garment under all bumps, shocks and dislodgement forces imposed on the clamp halves.
Abstract: A ship-on garment hanger having anti-dislodgement means at both ends of the hanger body consisting of an outwardly, downwardly curved extension of the hanger body which extends downwardly to a position below the top and upper end of the clamp assembly located at each end of the hanger body, the clamp assemblies being disposed beneath the hanger body and the curved extensions thereof.
Abstract: A ship-on garment hanger having ramp means on the hanger body to prevent dislodgement of a garment from the hanger by outwardly directly dislodging forces and end shields on the outside edges of the clamps to prevent dislodgement of a garment from the hanger by inwardly directed dislodging forces, the hanger being nestable with similar hangers to maximize shipping space.

Abstract: A ship-on garment hanger of the offset clamp type having ramp means on the hanger body to prevent dislodgement of a garment from the hanger by outwardly directly dislodging forces and end shields on the outside edges of the clamps to prevent dislodgement of a garment from the hanger by inwardly directed dislodging forces, the hanger being nestable with similar hangers to maximize shipping space and providing secure gripping force to a garment suspended therefrom despite the non-co-terminous configuration of the clamps.
Abstract: A garment clamp assembly, and a garment hanger which includes such a clamp assembly, in which a single size of hanger can accommodate a wide range of widths of garments by the use of sliding clamp assemblies which hold the garment beneath the hanger and which can be moved, and then jammed into a fixed position, by the application of modest hand generated pressures applied to a drop bracket which is in frictional sliding contact with the garment hanger.
Abstract: A plastic clamp assembly, and a garment hanger containing said plastic clamp assembly, in which plastic creep of the plastic clamp assembly, and thereby loss of load, is eliminated by use of a metal reinforcement, which is not subject to creep, for the clamp assembly.
Abstract: A garment hanger is provided with an elongated body member having linear surfaces so that clamp assemblies may be slid, by hand applied pressure, along the body member to desired locations, thereby providing a garment hanger of infinitely adjustable width within its working range and thus reducing the number of stockkeeping units to one, the hanger and clamp assemblies being so contoured that the clamp assemblies may be easily slid along the body member, the components being so contoured that the clamp assemblies always hang vertically, thus always presenting an impression of a neat, uncluttered appearance which makes a maximum favorable impression on the eye of a potential purchaser.
Abstract: An improved clamp-style garment hanger is provided. The hanger provides two brackets disposed on a crossbar on opposing sides of a hook. The lateral positions of the brackets are adjustable. The brackets have a garment clamp rotatably mounted on a horizontal shaft that extends between opposed side members disposed at a lower portion of the brackets. A spring-clip biases the garment engaging surfaces of opposed jaws of the clamps together and keeps the clamps engaged on the horizontal shaft of the brackets. The brackets include members that slidably engage the crossbar and provide a frictional engagement that resists bracket/clamp creep under the weight of a heavy garment. The front and rear surfaces of the crossbar also include channels which have an inner surface, an inner end and an outer end. Protruding ridges are formed on the inner surfaces of front members and rear members of each bracket such that the ridges can engage the inner surface of the channels when the bracket is assembled on the crossbar.
Abstract: A label package consisting of only label stock, in which labels are formed, releasably secured to liner stock, said two ply structure being formed into discrete panels along lines of weakness to thereby provide an accordion folded multi-panel set of panels, together with (a) an aligned hole in the set of accordion folded panels to thereby enable the set to be suspended from prong means and (b) a single staple or other securement means which maintains the set in a structurally self-supporting condition for shipment and display.
