Abstract: A garment hanger having an indicia-bearing tab for displaying customer information is provided. A tab holder is integrally formed as part of the hanger. The tab is mounted on an edge of the tab holder, adjacent a ridge formed on the tab holder. The ridge, together with two end members formed on the tab holder on either side of the tab, prevent a consumer from obtaining a finger purchase on the tab. Thus, once the tab is mounted on the tab holder, it cannot be removed without using a tool. The dimensions of the ridge and end members, and their location on the tab holder, may be selected to prevent removal of the tab by hand or by tool.

Abstract: In combination, a molded plastic garment hanger and a molded plastic indicator. The molded plastic indicator includes a solid body adapted to display indicia relating to a garment on said hanger. The body includes sidewalls, end walls, a bottom wall and a top wall, each body sidewall defining with the body bottom wall intermediate the body end walls and under the body top wall an outwardly extending lateral projection. The molded plastic garment hanger includes a hook adapted to engage a rod or other support, and a transversely spaced pair of upwardly projecting generally planar webs which receive the indicator, each of the webs defining an aperture therethrough for receiving a respective one of the lateral projections in an interference fit. A portion of the body is configured and dimensioned to be snugly received intermediate the hanger webs with the body lateral projections extending outwardly through the web apertures.

Abstract: In a garment hanger information tab for use on a garment hanger having a tab holder, the tab holder including a ledge, the tab defines a U-shaped body having a top wall, first and second sides, and first and second legs disposed between said sides and defining a slot and an internal channel therebetween. The body has first and second internal fingers extending inwardly from respective legs in the channel, the first and second fingers extending under the ledge of the tab holder to lock the body on the tab holder when the body is on the tab holder. The body is structurally bilaterally asymmetrical about at least one of two mutually perpendicular planes, both of the planes being non-parallel to said top wall, whereby opposite side-to-side orientations of the tab may be distinguished.

Abstract: In combination, a hanger for garments and other articles and a separately formed indicator secured to the hanger for indicating information associated with the garments and other articles, the hanger defining a hook adapted to engage a rail or other structure, and the hook in turn defining a support for receiving and engaging the indicator, the indicator including a hollow four-sided body defining an open top, an open bottom, a generally parallel pair of opposed sides, and a generally parallel pair of opposed ends connecting the sides, each side having a generally planar unapertured side surface and each end having sufficient surface area for displaying information thereon. The opposed sides having respective inner surfaces, at least one of which is formed so as to interlock with the support of the hanger.

Abstract: In combination, a hanger for garments and other articles and a separately formed indicator secured to the hanger for indicating information associated with the garments and other articles and manually releasable therefrom without the use of a tool. The hanger defines a hook adapted to engage a rail, and the hook in turn defines a support for receiving and engaging the indicator. The indicator is received and engaged by the support. The indicator includes a hollow four-sided body defining an open top, an open bottom, a generally parallel pair of opposed sides, and a generally parallel pair of opposed ends connecting the sides, each side having a generally planar side surface and each end having a generally planar end surface extending beyond both of the planar side surfaces. The indicator is disengageable and removable from the support by manually moving at least one of the ends towards the other end, thereby to cause the sides to bow outwardly relative to the support.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a garment hanger having a tab holder for receiving an information tab wherein the information tab may be easily mounted onto the tab holder. Once the information tab is mounted onto the tab holder, it is securely and permanently affixed thereto.

Abstract: An improved hanger for pants and the like includes a hook portion and a clamp portion mounted on the hook portion. The clamp portion defines at least one clamp of generally inverted U-shaped configuration having a first leg, a second leg and a bight portion connecting the first and second legs. The first and second legs are biased together to clamp pants and the like therebetween, the first leg also defining an aperture therethrough to enable manual separation of the first and second legs for passage of pants and the like therebetween. The hook and clamp portions together are a one-piece construction formed exclusively of plastic in a single operation.

Abstract: A multigarment hanger of plastic construction, such as a bra-and-panty hanger, includes a centrally located suspending member for being suspended from a support, a body connected to the base of the suspending member and oriented horizontally when used, and, at each of the opposite ends of the body, plural garment-engaging grips molded integrally therewith. One of the grips is defined by a vertically oriented wall surface of the hanger and a first resilient finger to define a first clearance space therebetween defining a first garment-receiving slot, and at least another of the grips is defined by a horizontally oriented wall surface and a second resilient finger to define a second clearance space therebetween defining a second garment-receiving slot. At least a portion of the vertically oriented wall surface of the one grip is horizontally displaceable without affecting the second clearance space of any other grip.

Abstract: A foldable garment hanger capable of being attached to and folded with a garment and then boxed, if necessary, and shipped with the garment in a minimum of space so that the hanger needs merely to be unfolded with the garment and hung upon arrival at the retail store. The hanger is comprised of a hanger body, a suspension member and two arms, each with garment retaining means at its end. The arms are connected by a living hinge that enables the arms to be folded toward each other. The suspension member possesses latching means and is connected to the body by a hinge that enables the suspension member to be folded along the hinge and latched to the body arms for support in hanging of the hanger.
