1-16. (canceled)
A method of hanging a garment comprising the steps of:
- threading a hanger as claimed in claim 19 through a loop connected to a garment;
- closing the releasable connection mechanism;
- and
- using the engaging portion to hang the garment
(canceled)
A hanger for hanging an item, comprising a support-engaging upper hook forming section and a lower body section, the lower body section having an upper portion and an elongate portion depending from the upper portion, the elongate portion having a width less than that of the upper hook section and being deformable back upon itself to form a loop, the elongate portion having a first connection device at its distal end for connecting with a second connection device at the proximal end of the elongate portion or at the upper portion to hold the elongate portion in the form of a loop, and wherein the first connection portion is provided on a distal end section of the elongate portion that is joined to an adjacent distal portion of the elongate portion by a weakened region that allows the distal end section to be brought into parallel relationship with the proximal end of the elongate portion or the upper portion thereby to reduce bending forces from otherwise acting on the connection devices.
A hanger for hanging an item, comprising a support-engaging portion and a deformable elongate member, the support-engaging portion defining at least an aperture for receiving a support for hanging the device, and the elongate member extending from the support-engaging portion to a distal end of the elongate member, the elongate member comprising a connection mechanism such that the elongate member can be deformed back upon itself and connected to at least one of the support-engaging portion or the elongate member to form a loop, and wherein the elongate member is provided three transversely extending weakened regions that are longitudinally spaced apart along the length of the elongate member such that when the elongate member is folded at the weakened regions, the elongate member can be formed into the shape of a triangle with a distal side of the triangle extending perpendicularly to a planar extent of the support engaging portion.
