Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9800051A2] A molded plastic garment hanger, as is widely used for the purpose of shipping and displaying garments, comprising a unitary plastic central hook and arms extending in opposite directions from the base of the central hook to facilitate a garment to be suspended therefrom by garment clips. The garment clips enable the attachment of various kinds of garments thereto, such as underwear, slips, brassieres, swimwear, multiple garments, and the like. The garment hanger has an improved garment retaining clip wherein as a garment is inserted into the garment retaining clip, the garment receiving channel of the clip first opens to allow the garment to enter, and then closes to securely retain the garment and to prevent it from becoming accidentally dislodged therefrom. The garment hanger also has an improved panty retaining clip having an inward slant defined by a receiving channel of the panty retaining clip. As a panty waist band is inserted fully into the panty retaining clip, the panty waist band moves radially inwardly towards the center of the garment hanger, which means that, after a panty waist band is inserted fully into the panty retaining clip, the panty waist band shrinks at each end of the garment hanger. Accordingly, the panty waist band must be expanded or stretched at each end of the garment hanger to remove the panty from the panty retaining clip, which makes accidental dislodgement of the garment from the garment clip a virtual impossibility.
