Abstract (en)

A clothes hanger (10) formed from a single continuous strip of material shaped to define a pair of substantially co-planar arms (11), with clothes-supporting surfaces thereon. The arms are configured to support clothes and are disposed symmetrically with respect to a bridging piece (12) that interconnects them and up stands above the clothes-supporting surfaces thereof. The bridging piece defines a re-entrant rail-receiving slot (13) having a relatively narrow mouth (15) disposed between the arms whereby the hanger may be suspended by the bridging piece when engaged with a rail (20) entered into the slot through the mouth thereof. Inwardly directed fingers (16) may be provided on the arms (11) and abutments (18) may be located on the fingers or the arms.
