Abstract
A spring for use in a garment hanger is disclosed. The hanger is of the type that includes a hook and a body with clips at either end of the arms of the body. The clips include a pair of clip portions between which the garment is clamped under the biasing for of a spring. The spring is generally U-shaped and has convex ribs both on the inner and outer services of its curvature. The ribs are located adjacent each other so that they form a sine-wave-like cross-section and are of sufficient depth that in their formation they causes the sides of the spring adjacent the ribs to be drawn inwards.
Claims13
A garment hanger comprising:
- at least one suspension device for suspending the hanger from a support;
- a body connected to said suspension device;
- and
- at least one clip connected to said body for retaining a garment, the or each clip comprising a pair of clip portions, between which the garment is clamped, and at least one spring having a generally U-shape for biasing said clip portions, wherein at least one said spring comprises convex ribs having a length which extends at least partially around a curvature of said U-shape of said spring, said convex ribs being located on both an inner surface and an outer surface of said spring.
A garment hanger comprising:
- at least one suspension device for suspending the hanger from a support;
- a body connected to said suspension device;
- at least one clip connected to said body for retaining a garment, the or each clip comprising a pair of clip portions, between which the garment is clamped, and at least one generally U-shaped spring for biasing said clip portions, wherein at least one said U-shaped spring comprises a plurality of ribs extending at least partially around a curvature of a U of said spring, wherein the ribs form a sine-wave-like cross-section at said curvature.
A garment hanger comprising:
- at least one suspension device for suspending the hanger from a support;
- a body connected to said suspension device;
- at least one clip connected to said body for retaining a garment, the or each clip comprising a pair of clip portions, between which the garment is clamped, and at least one spring having a generally U-shape for biasing said clip portions, wherein at least one said spring comprises an inner surface, an outer surface, and a plurality of convex ribs extending at least partially around a curvature of the U-shape of said spring, wherein at least three of said convex ribs are on one of said inner and outer surfaces and at least two of said ribs are on the other of said inner and outer surfaces with said convex ribs on said inner and outer surfaces being arranged consecutively.
