Abstract: A garment hanger includes a clamp having a pair of jaw members, wherein at least one jaw member is pivotable relative to the other between open and closed positions. The jaw members are provided with rows of teeth. In a first jaw member, six rows of teeth are provided, and the teeth of the second and fifth rows are substantially thicker than the teeth of the other rows. In a second jaw member, six rows of teeth are provided, with the first, third, and fifth rows provided with relatively small teeth, and the teeth in the second, fourth and sixth rows relatively increasing in size. The hanger clamps in accord with the invention have been demonstrated to have superior gripping ability on denim jeans garments, but may be useful to securely grip other garments.

Abstract: A garment hanger includes a clamp having a pair of jaw members, wherein at least one jaw member is pivotable relative to the other between open and closed positions. The jaw members are provided with an arrangement of ridges, at least some of the ridges defining a plurality of teeth. The ridges are preferably arranged in three rows in each of the jaw members, and each row preferably extends substantially across the respective jaw member. Each of the ridges preferably has a rear wall which extends substantially perpendicular to the surface on which the ridges are located, and a front wall which extends from the surface on which the ridges are located to the rear wall such that each of the ridges in cross-section has a cuspid-like appearance. The clamp has been demonstrated to have superior gripping ability on denim jeans garments.
