ABSTRACT:
An improved clamp-style garment hanger is provided. The hanger provides two brackets disposed on a crossbar on opposing sides of a hook. The lateral positions of the brackets are adjustable. The brackets have a garment clamp rotatably mounted on a horizontal shaft that extends between opposed side members disposed at a lower portion of the brackets. A spring-clip biases the garment engaging surfaces of opposed jaws of the clamps together and keeps the clamps engaged on the horizontal shaft of the brackets. The brackets include members that slidably engage the crossbar and provide a frictional engagement that resists bracket/clamp creep under the weight of a heavy garment. The front and rear surfaces of the crossbar also include channels which have an inner surface, an inner end and an outer end. Protruding ridges are formed on the inner surfaces of front members and rear members of each bracket such that the ridges can engage the inner surface of the channels when the bracket is assembled on the crossbar. When a bracket is moved inward or outward on the crossbar, a ridge on a front or rear member of the bracket will contact either the inner or outer end of the channel and thereby preclude further inward or outward movement.
