Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9623436A1] A molded plastic garment hanger (2) having an improved indicator attachment device is disclosed, wherein the hanger has a hook with an upstanding web (4) to be received within a downwardly opening cavity of a molded plastic indicator (18) having side walls formed with openings. The web is formed with attachment means in the form of a resilient plastic detent formed with a laterally projecting portion (20) positioned to engage the opening to prevent removal of the indicator from the hook unless the resilient detent is physically displaced from the opening to facilitate release of indicator from the hook. A method and apparatus for removing theindicator from the hook is also provided by inserting a pin defined on a first plate into the indicator to displace the indicator attachment mechanism and thereby release the indicator from the indicator attachment mechanism without damaging either the indicator or the indicator attachment mechanism. The present invention contemplates automated as well as manual removal of the indicator from the hook of a hanger and provides a method and device therefor.
