Abstract

A low-cost garment hanger with a function of preventing shoulders of a garment from being deformed, which can be assembled through a one-touch operation and does not occupy much space in transit is provided. A garment hanger comprises: a hook portion 1; a neck portion 2 connected to a base end of the hook portion 1; a pair of shoulder-supporting portions 3 which are molded integrally with the neck portion 2 and extend from both sides of the neck portion 2; a shoulder pad 6 which is connected to each of the shoulder-supporting portions 3 via a hinge portion 5a and is foldable at the hinge portion 5a; and an engaging leg portion 7 and a locking portion 8 to hold the shoulder pad 6 in a folded state so that the shoulder pad 6 covers each of said shoulder-supporting portions 3. By providing the shoulder pad 6 to be connected to the shoulder-supporting portion 3 via the hinge portion 5a and to be foldable at the hinge portion 5a, the shoulder pad 6, which has the function of preventing shoulders of a garment from being deformed, is integrated. Moreover, the shoulder pad 6 can be assembled through a one-touch operation by simply folding the shoulder pad 6 at the hinge portion 5a and engaging the shoulder pad 6 with the shoulder-supporting portion 3.
