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: 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: 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.
