  • Publication number: 20060113335
    Abstract: A garment hanger comprising pinch grip clips has a unique molded beam design for added strength and stability. The cross-section of the hanger beam comprises an “S”-shaped design extending along the beam between the pinch grip clips. The “S”-shaped construction reduces warping in the beam body that may be caused by heavy clothing material or frequent use. Alternatively, a “Z”-shaped design may also be used.
