Abstract
A one-piece garment hanger formed from a plastic material includes an elongated hanger body integrally molded from a plastic material having first and second opposing ends. A first arm is integrally formed to the first end of the hanger and a second arm is integrally formed to the second end of the hanger. The first and second arms extend downwardly and outwardly from the hanger body at an acute angle with respect thereto. Integrally formed essentially semi-circular biasing webs biasingly couple the first and second arms to the garment hanger body. The first and second arms are manually forcible against the opposing spring action provided by the biasing webs to releasably capture a garment therebetween.

A one-piece garment hanger comprising an elongated hanger body integrally molded from a plastic material, said hanger body having first and second opposing ends, a first arm integrally formed to said first end of said hanger body and a second arm integrally formed to said second end of said hanger body, said first and second arms extending downwardly and outwardly from said hanger body at an acute angle with respect thereto, an integrally formed essentially semi-circular biasing means biasingly coupling said first and second arms to said hanger body tending to urge said first and second arms away from one another, said first and second arms being manually forcible towards one another against the opposing spring action provided by said biasing means to releasably capture a garment therebetween.
A one-piece garment hanger comprising an elongated hanger body integrally molded from a plastic material, said hanger body having first and second opposing ends, a first arm integrally formed to said first end of said hanger body and a second arm integrally formed to said second end of said hanger body, said first and second arms extending downwardly and outwardly from said hanger body at an acute angle with respect thereto, an integrally formed essentially semi-circular biasing means biasingly coupling said first and second arms to said hanger body, said first and second arms being manually forcible against the opposing spring action provided by said biasing means to releasably capture a garment therebetween, a hook being formed on each of said first and second semi-circular biasing means which acts to prevent a garment from moving up on the garment hanger body.
A garment hanger comprising an elongated hanger body having first and second opposing ends, a first arm coupled to said first end of said hanger body and a second arm coupled to said second end of said hanger body, a first essentially semi-circular plastic web integrally joining said first arm to said first end of said garment hanger body and a second essentially semi-circular web integrally joining said second arm to said second end of said garment hanger body, said first and second webs exerting torque on said first and second arms tending to urge said arms apart as said arms are manually moved towards one another, said first and second arms including outer surfaces, an upwardly extending first finger on the outer surface of said first arm and an upwardly extending second finger on the outer surface of said second arm, said first and second fingers being respectively biasingly coupled to said respective arms to urge said first finger away from said second finger.
A garment hanger comprising an elongated hanger body having first and second opposing ends, a first arm coupled to said first end of said hanger body and a second arm coupled to said second end of said hanger body, a first essentially semi-circular plastic web integrally joining said first arm to said first end of said garment hanger body and a second essentially semi-circular web integrally joining said second arm to said second end of said garment hanger body, said first and second webs exerting torque on said first and second arms tending to urge said arms apart as said arms are manually moved towards one another, said first and second arms including outer surfaces, an upwardly extending first finger on the outer surface of said first arm and an upwardly extending second finger on the outer surface of said second arm, said first and second fingers being respectively biasingly coupled to said respective arms, a third essentially semi-circular plastic web integrally joining said first finger to said first arm and a fourth essentially semi-circular plastic web integrally joining said second finger to said second arm, said third and fourth webs exerting torque on said first and second fingers tending to rotate said fingers outwardly.
