Abstract
This invention relates to a garment hanger 10 having an elongate hanger bar 20 and a centrally positioned hook member 12. Garment holding means are located at opposed ends 14, 16 of the hanger bar 20. Each garment holding means includes a first jaw 30 and a second jaw 40, the second jaw 40 being moveable relative to the first jaw 30. Each garment holding means also including locking means 50 for selectively holding the second jaw 40 in a position adjacent the first jaw 30. The ability of the garment hanger 10 to selectively clamp the second jaw 40 in a position so as to hold a garment between the first and second jaws 30, 40 is a particular advantage.
