ABSTRACT:
A molded plastic garment hanger having an improved indicator attachment device is disclosed, wherein the hanger has a hook with an upstanding web to be received within a downwardly opening cavity of a molded plastic indicator having side walls formed with openings. The web is formed with attachment means in the form of a resilient detent formed with a laterally projecting portion positioned to engage the opening to prevent removal of the indicator from the hook unless the resilient detent is physically displaced from the opening to facilitate release of indicator from the hook. In a second embodiment the indicator has end walls with retention apertures and the web is formed with attachment means in the form of at least one resilient leg extending downwardly and outwardly from the upper side portion of the web. The leg is formed with a laterally projecting portion positioned to engage the retention aperture to prevent removal of the indicator from the hook unless the resilient leg is displaced from the retention aperture to facilitate release of the indicator from the hook.
