A coordinate loop garment hanger comprising a molded plastic hanger body having a hook receiving loop element depending from and molded integrally with the molded plastic body at a lower portion thereof. The hook receiving loop element includes a passageway for selectively receiving and suspending therefrom a hook of a second ganged garment hanger which is at least partially enclosed along its length by left, right, top and bottom surfaces. In one embodiment, the left, right, top and bottom surfaces define substantially parallel left and right sides and rounded and curved top and bottom surfaces. The passageway is also curved along its length, with the open ends thereof being slightly lower than the center thereof. Several different embodiments of the loop element are disclosed with different length and shape sides, bottoms and ends. Several different embodiments are also disclosed of the cross sectional shape of the passageway defined by the loop element, including downward tapering, upward tapering, circular and hourglass shaped passageways. A mold and a method are also disclosed for molding the coordinate loop garment hanger body. The mold comprises first and second mold halves and a moveable mold piece which is pivotally inserted into the mold shape of the loop element during a molding operation to define and mold the interior shape of the passageway.
A method of molding a molded plastic garment hanger body having a hook receiving loop element depending from and molded integrally with the molded plastic body at a lower portion thereof, wherein the hook receiving loop element defines a passageway for selectively receiving and suspending therefrom a hook of a second garment hanger, which passageway is defined by left and right side elements along opposite sides of the length of the passageway, the length of the passageway defined along the direction that a hook from a dependent garment hanger is inserted into and through the passageway, the method comprising:
A mold for molding a plastic garment hanger body having a hook receiving loop element depending from and molded integrally with the molded plastic body at a lower portion thereof, wherein the hook receiving loop element defines a passageway for selectively receiving and suspending therefrom a hook of a second garment hanger, which passageway is defined by left and right side elements positioned along opposite sides of the length of the passageway, which extends along the direction a hook from a dependent garment hanger is inserted into and through the passageway, the mold comprising:
A method of molding a molded plastic garment hanger body having a hook receiving loop element depending from and molded integrally with the molded plastic body at a lower portion thereof, wherein the hook receiving loop element defines a passageway for selectively receiving and suspending therefrom a hook of a second garment hanger, which passageway is defined by left and right side elements along opposite sides of the length of the passageway, the length of the passageway defined along the direction that a hook from a dependent garment hanger is inserted into and through the passageway, wherein at least a portion of the left and right side elements are aligned substantially perpendicularly across from each other along the left and right sides of the length of the passageway, comprising:
A mold for molding a plastic garment hanger body having a hook receiving loop element depending from and molded integrally with the molded plastic body at a lower portion thereof, wherein the hook receiving loop element defines a passageway for selectively receiving and suspending therefrom a hook of a second garment hanger, which passageway is defined by left and right side elements positioned along opposite sides of the length of the passageway, which extends along the direction a hook from a dependent garment hanger is inserted into and through the passageway, wherein at least a portion of the left and right side elements are aligned substantially perpendicularly across from each other along the left and right sides of the length of the passageway, comprising:
