A hanger apparatus, comprising:
- a hook portion to support the hanger apparatus while the hanger apparatus is being hung from a hanger apparatus support;
- a hanging portion to hang an item of clothing;
- a neck portion coupled to the hook portion on a first end of the neck portion and the hanging portion on a second end of the neck portion, wherein the neck portion defining a base member having a lower end having plurality of ridges extending outwardly therefrom, and an upper end, the upper end having a neck opening defined therethrough, the base member further having a second offset member extending outwardly therefrom between the opening and the plurality of ridges;
- a clip having a back surface with a plurality of ridges at a lower end thereof, and an upper end, the upper end having a clip opening defined therethrough, and a first offset member extending outwardly from the back surface between the opening and the plurality of ridges, the first offset member and the second offset member engaging each other at a respective distal end thereof, with the plurality of ridges of the neck portion facing the plurality of ridges of the base portion;
- and
- a biasing member extending through the neck opening and through the clip opening so as to overlie a front surface of the clip and a back surface of the neck portion, the biasing member biasing the first offset member toward the second offset member, and directing the plurality of ridges of the neck portion and the plurality of ridges of the base portion toward each other into abutment, whereupon the biasing member is overcome by applying force to the upper end of the clip relative toward the neck portion, to, in turn, pivot the lower end of the clip from the lower end of the neck portion about the first and second offset members.
