A shoulder support for garments hung on a wire hanger is a generally unitary member made of a resilient material. The shoulder support has a center section and a pair of spaced shoulder sections connected at one end to the center section and extending in opposite directions. The center section has a front wall and a back wall disposed in spaced relation to define an opening. A releasable locking connector assembly is formed on the front wall for operative connection to the wire hanger for the garment. The shoulder support can be constructed from rigid plastic material, or optionally, flexible plastic material which will allow the shoulder support to narrow, squeeze or collapse when subjected to compressive forces during the storage or stacking of the garments assembled on the hanger, and when the compressive forces are removed, will expand to its original shape for protecting the garment from distortion and creasing.
A shoulder support for garments releasably connectable to a wire hanger, said shoulder support comprising a generally unitary member having a front wall and a rear wall in spaced relation to each other to define an opening for receiving the wire hanger therethrough, said generally unitary member made of resilient plastic material from the group consisting of nylon, polyester, polypropylene and mixtures thereof having inherent mechanical strength and rigidity and of a gauge greater than about 0.005″ such that under compressive forces, the shoulder support will be compressed from its original shape to occupy less space and on release of the compressive forces, the shoulder support will expand to substantially its original shape.
