ABSTRACT:
A clamping garment hanger according to the present invention is composed of first and second jaws pivotally mounted via first and second leg members; a lever mechanism for providing a primary clamping system for the jaws; and a secondary clamping system which includes a fork connected with the lever mechanism wherein the fork includes a yoke, a collar which freely and floatingly encompasses the first and second leg members, wherein the collar includes a tongue and a foot carrying a roller, and a scuff bar connected with the first jaw. In operation, when quite thick garments are to be hung, the lever mechanism clamps and locks the first and second jaws together, while the collar floats into an abutting position with respect to the second leg member while the tongue thereof is received alignably by the yoke and the roller carried on the foot abuts the scuff bar. The collar interacts with the first and second leg members so as to guidably prevent them from being oversprung and thereby serving in this case, with the fork and scuff bar, as the secondary clamping system. When even thicker garments are to be hung, the roller carried on the foot will move into a position in which it abuts the rear side of the yoke, thereby supplying a locking interaction with the first and second leg members so as to guidably prevent them from being oversprung and thereby serving in this case, with the fork, as the secondary clamping system.
