ABSTRACT:
A garment hanger having body and a hook connected to the body and a tab receiver integrally formed with the hanger. The tab receiver has two spaced-apart flexible receiver members each having paired steps projecting in opposite directions defining an individual step width and, in combination, a combined width. A rigid tab having two paired projections and openings cooperates with the flexible receiver members and the steps to compress the combined widths as the tab projections pass over the cooperating steps of the receiver members and to release and return the compressed widths to their original combined widths which are wider that the projection openings thereby locking and securely retaining the tab onto the tab receiver. A locking member on the base of the tab inserts into the space between the two receiver members, overlaps the two receiver members, and exerts opposing pressure on the two receiver members thereby preventing their movement and removal of the tab.
