Abstract: A coordinate set hanger has a primary hanger with a first body, a hook extending upward from the first body, a first means for suspending a garment from the first body, and a first connection tab extending downward from the body, operative to releasably suspend a dependent hanger therefrom. A connection link having a locking end at each end thereof, the locking end having at least one snap lock with at least one horizontal surface is releasably attachable to at least a connection tab of a primary hanger. A dependent hanger has a body and a second means for suspending a garment from the second body, and a second connection tab extending upward from the second body. The second connection tab is operative to releasably secure the locking end of the connecting link therein. In other embodiments, the component parts of the coordinate set hanger are modular, or may include a dependent loop for integration with existing hanger stock.

Abstract: In a lightweight intimate apparel hanger, the hanger body has a first arm extending from a hook of the hanger to a first end of the body and a second arm extending from the hook to a second end of the body. The first arm and the second arm body each have an upper flange, a lower flange and a middle web connecting the upper flange and the lower flange. The first arm has a height H defined as from the upper flange to the lower flange and a width W defined as the width of the upper flange and the lower flange, the ratio of the width W to the height H (W/H) larger than 1. The hanger can has a top sizer attaching means for attaching a top sizer or a lower neck sizer attaching means for attaching a lower neck sizer.

Abstract: A pinch grip hanger has a hook and a support bar suspended from said hook. A pinch grip is mounted on the support bar along its length, having two jaws, with the first jaw mounted on said support bar in a fixed location, and the second jaw pivotally mounted to the first jaw. The second jaw has a user engagement portion, and garment engaging portion extending downwardly from the support bar. The user engagement portion enables a user to open the pinch grip for insertion or release of a garment. A multi-stage spring with has a plurality of linear portions is mounted on the first and second jaws, biasing the garment engaging portion of said second jaw into engagement with said first jaw. The multi-stage spring has multiple stages of spring engagement, allowing a substantially constant spring bias throughout the range of motion of said pinch grip, and can engage both the first and second jaws. Alternately or additionally, a spring has a safety lock means to maintain spring engagement with the jaws.

Abstract: In a lightweight and environmentally friendly pinch grip hanger, the height of the hanger body is reduced to have the upper ends of the jaws of the pinch grip to extend beyond the upper flange of the hanger body. This configuration reduces the weight of the hanger and saves the raw material used to mold the hanger. The hanger is environmentally friendly. The hanger further has an elevated portion formed below a lower neck region of the hanger where the hook of the hanger mounted to the hanger body. The hanger body further has a raised rib extending throughout the entire length of the hanger body.

Abstract: In a top garment hanger, through openings are formed in the arms of the hanger relative to a center axis of the hanger body. The provision of the various through openings reduces the total weight of the hanger and the resin material used to mold the hanger. The hanger is accordingly environmentally friendly. The manufacturing cost and the transportation cost of the hanger are reduced, which provide a market advantage for the manufacturer, transporter and retailer of the garment hangers.

Abstract: In a lightweight and environmentally friendly intimate apparel hanger, through openings are formed in a web of the hanger body. The openings are formed symmetrically or asymmetrically relative to a center point of the body in the web. The provision of the openings reduces the total weight of the hanger and the raw material used to mold the hanger. The manufacturing and transportation costs of the hanger are also reduced, which provide a market advantage to the manufacturer, transporter and retailer of the hangers.
