ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use with a wire clothes hanger includes a plastic body having generally a first and a second U-shaped channel disposed on generally opposite ends of the inside of the apparatus. The apparatus forms a plastic clip that can be inserted over each of the two outside corners (arcuate ends) of the wire clothes hanger. The U-shaped channels secure the wire hanger therein by means of friction. If desired, any number of protrusions may be placed in the U-shaped channels to better retain the clip to the hanger. The clip includes a top surface that is wider than the metal wire used to form the wire clothes hanger and includes any of various ways to help retain a garment, such as a shirt or jacket thereto. Grooves, a sandpaper-like finish, and a checkering pattern are some of the ways that are applied to the top of the clip to help retain the garment in position. The clip includes an extended portion that extends beyond the arcuate ends of the hanger thereby effectively lengthening it, preferably by at least one-quarter of one inch on each side, or a preferred minimum of one-half of one inch total increase in the overall width of the hanger.
