ABSTRACT:
Method for storing foam covers and for installing foam covers on clothes hangers, and apparatus to perform the method. A supply of foam covers are loaded on an insert spindle. The insert spindle is suspendable, and is formed to receive therein the hook of a clothes hanger. The insert spindle may further define a spreader to assist in spreading the slot of a foam cover over the hook of the clothes hanger. After suspending the insert spindle having at least one foam cover installed thereon, the operator inserts the hook of a clothes hanger into a hanger pocket formed at a lower end of the insert spindle. To install the cover onto the hanger the operator, by grasping the foam cover at either end thereof with the thumb and forefinger of each hand, and pulling the cover with a downward and outward motion, will cause the foam cover to slide down the insert spindle over the hook and onto the clothes hanger. Continuing with this downward and outward pulling, the operator snaps the foam cover into place over the ends of the clothes hanger.
