Claims5
A garment hanger comprising:
- an information element having a length and a width and a U-shaped internal recess extending along an entirety of the length of the information element;
- a substantially linear element-receiving channel, wherein the element-receiving channel has a length and a width, with the length of the element-receiving channel being greater than the width of the element-receiving channel, wherein the element-receiving channel is adapted to slidably receive the information element;
- wherein the information element is receivable onto the element-receiving channel by means of the U-shaped internal recess, so that the region distal to the opening of the U-shaped internal recess of the information element is parallel to the length of the channel as it is received into the channel, and
- wherein the channel is arranged in the hanger to slidably receive the information element from a direction non-perpendicular to its length,
- wherein the element-receiving channel is closed at a first end and open at a second end and comprises a lateral ridge at the second end, so that the information element can slidably engage the element-receiving channel through the second, open end, slide into the channel until the information element passes over the lateral ridge, which then retains the information element within the channel, such that the information element abuts the closed, first end of the element-receiving channel.
