ABSTRACT:
A pinch clip for a garment hanger, and a garment hanger having such pinch clip, is disclosed. The clip includes an opposable retaining member spring biased into a closed position against a flange formed on one end of the main support of the hanger. The main support includes a through-hole, gap, or opening through which the proximal finger-grip end of the retaining member may pass when the pinch clip is opened. The distal end of the retaining member abuts the flange when it is in the closed position. When force is applied to the proximal end, the clip opens, and the proximal end nests inside and passes through the through-hole. In this way, the clip can be made substantially coplanar with the main support of the hanger, and a more streamlined hanger is the result. The invention may also be molded from a single mold, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process. A ridge is provided around one end of the retaining member for preventing clothing from getting caught between the proximal finger-grip portion of the retaining member and the main support of the hanger.
