ABSTRACT:
A garment hanger adapted to support an elongated rod. The hanger includes an elongated body having two ends and a hook portion therebetween. The ends of the body extend downwardly to form a pair of spaced legs each having a rod receiving portion, with each rod receiving portion being defined by a bottom wall, a back wall joined to the bottom wall and forming part of the body and an upstanding resilient tongue joined to the bottom wall and spaced a predetermined distance from the back wall to define a rod receiving slot. The back wall includes an opening therein in alignment with the tongue defined by the bottom wall, top wall and opposing side walls, the surfaces of the side walls facing the tongue each having an undercut for capturing the rod when inserted in the slot. The tongue biases the rod in the slot against the undercuts to lock the rod in the rod receiving portions.
