  • Patent number: 7036695
    Abstract: A garment hanger is provided for supporting socks or other garments on a conventional display panel having extending display rods. The garment hanger has a planar configuration before folding and includes first and second supports which are spaced by a thin, flexible connector having elongated members which readily bend to allow the supports to sandwich a garment therebetween. A conventional plastic tack is passed through apertures in the supports and through the garment to maintain the garment and hanger together. In the method of affixing the garment to the hanger a catch positioned on the first support moves from a parallel or coplanar position to an angled, erect disposition for convenience in suspending the garment hanger from the display rod.
