ABSTRACT:
A clip (8) for a hanger has a pair of gripping arms (9,10) pivoted together (11) which have respective free ends (13,14) which are normally biassed together. The free ends (13,14) can be opened up by pressure being applied across the respective upper portions of the gripping arms (9,10). This enables an article of clothing or the like to be inserted therebetween. A tongue (17) can be pivoted (20) on the upper end of one of the gripping arms (9) to engage within a groove in the top edge of the other gripping arm (10). This results in the free ends (13,14) being locked together therefore securing the article of clothing therebetween. An edge (22) of a flange (19) from which the tongue (17) extends, is required to be forced past projections (21) on either side of the groove to locate the tongue (17) within the groove. The edge (22) forces the top end of the arm (10) outwardly which results in the securement of the free ends (13,14) together. Various embodiments are described in which the clip (8) is provided as a discrete component movable on a hanger bar or formed integrally with the hanger bar. An embodiment is described in which the clip (8) has an aperture therein which is engageable over, to expose, a clothes size indicia provided on the hanger bar. An embodiment is also disclosed in which the hanger hook is provided as a discrete component engageable with a projection provided on the hanger bar.
