Abstract: A collapsible hook hanger includes a hook having a threaded end and a hanger body including a cross bar having a top edge. A hook receiving body extends from the top edge of the cross bar and is defined by a first side wall and an opposing second side wall. An inner surface of the first side wall includes a first recess that is located opposite a second recess formed in the second side wall. The hook receiving body has a hook receiving slot for receiving the hook. An axle member is rotatably disposed within each of the first and second recesses. The axle member includes a threaded bore that receives the threaded end of the hook which is securely coupled to the axle member. The axle member is captured between the first and second side walls while permitting free rotation of the axle member within the hook receiving body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to reinforced box structures. A blank for forming a pre-stiffened box structure is provided. The blank comprises a box portion having a base and side panels for providing a box structure, a stiffening panel extending integrally from a given one of the side panels, and a line of weakness delimiting the stiffening panel from said given side panel. The blank is operable into a pre-stiffened configuration wherein the given side panel is folded to position the stiffening panel to substantially overlap and be secured to the base of the box portion. When the folded side panel is pivoted about the line of weakness, a free end of the side panel is biased away from the secured stiffening panel and thereby separates from the stiffening panel along the line of weakness.

Abstract: A top sizer clip according to one embodiment for use with a garment hanger includes a body having a pair of side walls and end walls joined to and extending between the side walls. The body includes a top wall that is joined to upper edges of the side walls and end walls. The top wall partially encloses the body so as to create a hollow body structure that includes an interior compartment defined by the end walls, side walls, and top wall. The top wall includes an opening formed therethrough for receiving a hook member of the hanger. The opening is defined by a pair of opposing first edges and a pair of opposing second side edges that extend between the first edges. The clip also includes a pair of slots being formed along the first edges and extending toward the end walls. The second edges include a pair of interference sections (detents) where a distance between the second edges is at a minimum.
