ABSTRACT:
An improved triangular-shaped garment hanger having two legs of approximately equal length, a base member, and at least one pair of opposed flex points, one flex point of each pair located on the base member and its paired flex point located in an opposed position on one of the legs to allow it to temporarily fold into a nearly flat configuration for fast insertion into the neck opening, the flex points comprising flexible devices securely attached over the one of the legs and the base member, the flexible devices being attached to the leg and base member hanger frame by means such as adhesive or force fitting the flexible devices over ribs on the distal ends of one of the legs and the base member to obviate the need for a sleeve to hold the flexible devices in place, the garment hanger also having brackets positioned between each leg and the base member to add strength to the garment hanger configuration so that it can support heavy garments without sagging and drooping of a garment and for insertion without stretching the fabric of the garment which is adjacent to the neck opening. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use by clothing manufacturers, retail clothing stores, dry cleaners, uniform companies, and the general public.
