Abstract
The side sizer system includes a marker which can be mounted on a hanger in a self-locking manner. In some embodiments, the marker is fitted over an integral rib located at a juncture between a hook and the hanger body so as to engage under the rib in a self-locking relationship. In other embodiments, the hanger is provided with inwardly directed projections while the marker is provided with outwardly directed flanges to snap under the projections. In still other embodiments, the markers are provided with internal tabs with projections for snap-fitting into recesses in upstanding walls of mounting blocks on the hanger. Two types of tools for engaging under the markers to pull the markers from the ribs include jaws for splaying the marker walls outwardly.
Claims25
In combination,
- a hanger having a body for suspending a garment therefrom, a hook for suspending said body from a support, and a marker mounting means located at a juncture between said hanger body and said hook, said mounting means including a rib extending angularly between said hook and said body with a gap disposed under a bottom of said rib, said rib having at least one longitudinal groove in each of two opposite sides thereof;
- and
- a size marker mounted in self-locking relation on said rib, said marker including a pair of parallel spaced apart walls receiving said rib therebetween and at least a pair of inwardly directed flanges on each said wall, a lower one of said flanges on each said parallel wall being disposed perpendicularly of said respective wall and slidably disposed under said rib in said gap, and an upper one of said flanges on each said parallel wall being disposed in a respective one of said grooves in said rib.
A hanger having
- a body for suspending a garment therefrom;
- a hook for suspending said body from a support;
- and
- a marker mounting means located at a juncture between said hanger body and said hook, said mounting means including a rib extending angularly between said hook and said body with a gap disposed under a bottom of said rib, said rib having at least one longitudinal groove in each of two opposite sides thereof.
In combination,
- a hanger having a body for suspending a garment therefrom, a hook suspending said body from a support, and a marker mounting means located at a juncture between said hanger body and said hook, said mounting means including a rib extending angularly between said hook and said body with a gap disposed under a bottom of said rib, said rib having at least one longitudinal groove in each of two opposite sides thereof;
- and
- a size marker mounted in self-locking relation on said rib, said marker including a pair of parallel spaced apart walls receiving said rib therebetween and at least three inwardly directed flanges on each said wall, a lower one of said flanges on each said parallel wall being disposed in said gap and facing said bottom of said rib, a second flange of said flanges on each said parallel wall being disposed in a respective one of said grooves in said rib;
- and a third flange of said flanges on each parallel wall facing said rib.
In combination,
- a hanger having a body for suspending a garment therefrom, a hook for suspending said body from a support, and a marker mounting means located at a juncture between said hanger body and said hook, said mounting means including a rib of predetermined thickness extending angularly between said hook and said body with a single uninterrupted gap disposed under a bottom of said rib, said rib having at least one longitudinal groove in each of two opposite sides thereof;
- and
- a size marker mounted in self locking relation on said rib, said marker including a pair of parallel spaced apart walls receiving said rib therebetween and at least a pair of inwardly directed flanges on each said wall, a lower one of said flanges on each said parallel wall being disposed in said gap and facing said bottom of said rib, and an upper one of said flanges on each said parallel wall being disposed in a respective one of said grooves in said rib, said lower ones of said flanges having a spacing therebetween being of a minor fraction of said thickness of said rib.
