Abstract: A method of molding a clamping garment clip for use on a hanger comprising the steps of molding a pair of support clamp arms with a first plastic material, molding a pair of support pads to said pair of support clamp arms with a second plastic material and forming mechanical interlocks between said support arms and said support pads exclusively by molded mechanical connections between said first and second plastic materials.

Abstract: A clip for a garment hanger is provided with a pair of clip jaws having gripping pads provided thereon. At least one gripping pad on one clip jaw is further provided with a retention member that preferably overlies or extends over the peripheral edge of the other gripping pad on the other clip jaw while the clip is in the closed position. The retention member effectively inhibits a garment secured between such clip jaws and gripping pads from falling through the clip jaws, or from being pulled or otherwise drawn past the gripping pads while the clip is in the closed position.

Abstract: A garment hanger clip is provided with a pair of clip jaws having lateral projecting portions or extensions which prevent or reduce unintended release of the clip jaws when a series of hangers is pressed or pushed together. The projections or release guards are advantageously located beneath the pivot point of the clip jaws so that lateral or sideward force applied to the guards tends to close the jaws even tighter.
