Patent number: 5082153Abstract: A garment hanger of the garment clamping type has a pair of jaws, the first one of which is integral with the hanger body and the other is pivotal about the top of the first jaw. A resilient clip slidably seated over the tops of the jaws resiliently holds the jaws in garment clamping position. The front face of the pivoted jaw has an elongated recessed channel to guide the user's finger to engage the clip and slide it into release position.

Patent number: 4892237Abstract: A hanger specifically designed for holding and suspending lightweight clothing, particularly delicate fabrics, has a rigid, elongated body terminating at each end in a pair of arms, one on top and one on the bottom of the body forming article receiving slots opening toward the center of the hanger. A third arm creates a downwardly opening slot at the end of the body. The arms are designed to permit limited flexing for seating and removing articles from the slots. The flexing occurs as a hinging action at the point of attachment to the body and at this point the arms are reinforced. The upper of the slots may have a pocket portion for positively securing garment straps and the like and also a finger member spaced from the inner end of the upper arm to form an upwardly opening entry to the slot or it may have a spring-like finger in the pocket which clamps a garment inserted into the pocket area.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1988Date of Patent: January 9, 1990Assignee: Batts, Inc.Inventors: Everett L.
