Patent number: 4187967Abstract: A garment hanger is disclosed which has a molded plastic body to which a separate, preferably metal, hook is attached after the molding is complete. The molded body has a locking collar molded integrally with it but attached by a weak, rupturable web or stem. When the hook is assembled to the body, its shank is forced through the collar so that the collar becomes firmly secured to the shank and thereafter prevents separation of the hook and body. In one form of the invention, the forcing of the shank through the collar detaches it from the body, permitting the collar and hook to rotate freely with respect to the hanger body. In another form, the attachment between the hook and body remain intact until a subsequent maneuver is performed to cause separation of hook and hanger body.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1978Date of Patent: February 12, 1980Assignee: John Thomas Batts, Inc.Inventor: Judd F. Garrison
