Abstract
A garment hanger includes a hook having a terminal end and a neck. A first shoulder bar and a second shoulder bar extend away from the neck to support a clothing item. A support bar extends horizontally between the first shoulder bar and the second shoulder bar. A resilient clip stem is suspended beneath the neck and terminates in a clip bar positioned adjacent the support bar. The clip stem and clip bar are resiliently moveable between a resting position and an open position to receive a clothing item and retain the clothing item on the garment hanger.
Claims19
A garment hanger, comprising:
- a hook having a terminal end and a neck and defining an opening between the terminal end and the neck;
- a first shoulder bar extending laterally away from the neck in a first direction and terminating in a first shoulder bar distal end;
- a second shoulder bar extending laterally away from the neck in a second direction and terminating in a second shoulder bar distal end;
- a support bar extending horizontally between the first shoulder bar distal end and the second shoulder bar distal end;
- a clip stem having an upper end integrally formed with the garment hanger and extending from the neck, the clip stem having a clip stem distal end extending away from the upper end and toward the support bar, the clip stem further having a clip bar at the clip stem distal end wherein a gap is defined between the clip bar and the support bar, the clip bar further having a first horizontal bar portion extending horizontally toward the first shoulder bar distal end and a second horizontal bar portion extending horizontally toward the second shoulder bar distal end;
- the garment hanger, including the hook, the first shoulder bar, the second shoulder bar, the support bar, the clip stem, the first horizontal bar portion and the second horizontal bar portion lying in a common plane,
- the clip stem and the clip bar being resiliently moveable between a resting position in which the clip bar is positioned adjacent the support bar and an open position in which the clip bar is moved away from the support bar upon application of an external force, the gap being relatively larger in the open position than in the resting position:
- wherein the open position includes both a first open position in which the clip bar is moved in a first direction orthogonal to the common plane, and a second open position in which the clip bar is moved in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction and orthogonal to the common plane, the clip stem being configured to cause the clip bar to return to the resting position from the first open position and the second open position upon removal of the external force.

A garment hanger, comprising:
- a hook having a terminal end and a neck and defining an opening between the terminal end and the neck;
- a first shoulder bar extending downwardly away from the neck in a first direction and terminating in a first shoulder bar distal end;
- a second shoulder bar extending downwardly away from the neck in a second direction and terminating in a second shoulder bar distal end;
- a support bar extending between the first shoulder bar distal end and the second shoulder bar distal end;
- a clip stem having an upper end attached to and suspended beneath the neck, the clip stem being resiliently moveable between a resting position and an open position;
- the garment hanger, including the hook, the first shoulder bar, the second shoulder bar, the support bar, the clip stem, the first horizontal bar portion and the second horizontal bar portion being integrally formed from a single material and lying in a common plane,
- the clip stem having a clip stem distal end opposite the upper end, the clip stem distal end being positioned adjacent the support bar when the clip stem is in the resting position, wherein a gap is defined between the clip stem distal end and the support bar;
- the clip stem in the open position being moved away from the support bar upon application of an external force, the gap being relatively larger in the open position than in the resting position.
