ABSTRACT:
A molded plastic hanger and a clip. The clip may be used with the hanger or separately. The hanger includes a body portion and a hook portion. The body portion includes a pair of parallel arms joined together at the ends thereof and an intermediate crossbar. The swivel hook includes a stem which is connected to the body portion at the crossbar. The stem includes an annular locking recess in its periphery which is adapted to be received within a mating socket of the crossbar to thereby connect the hook portion and the body portion to each other while enabling them to be swiveled readily with respect to each other. The clip can be secured to an arm of the hanger, to any other rod-like element, or to a clothesline, for example. The clip is formed of a two-part construction. The clip comprises a pair of plastic, complementary jaws joined together by a bridge-like member. The bridge-like member is joined, at each end, to the middle portion of each of the complementary jaws by means of a living hinge. A resilient, inverted U-shaped member fits over the bridge-like member and presses against the outer surfaces of the complementary jaws and forces them into engagement. The resilient member is formed of plastic, but has a higher tensile strength and resiliency than the plastic of the jaws.
