Abstract

A garment hanger is comprised of an integral body of synthetic material having a central portion, a hook portion extending outwardly of the central portion, first and second wing portions extending outwardly of the central portion, first and second wing end portions respectively outwardly of the first and second wing portions and third and fourth wing portions extending respectively inwardly of the first and second wing end portions to respective first and second mutually spaced ends of the third and fourth wing portions. The first and third wing portions, the second and third wing portions and the central portion collectively define an opening therebetween. The first and second wing end portions are of asymmetric dimensions transversely of the opening, whereby the third and fourth wing portions have enhanced support against deflection thereof in the plane of the hanger than would otherwise obtain. Otherwise viewed, hangers of the invention have aligned first and second wing portions and the first and second wing end portions support the third and fourth wing portions in an acute angular relation respectively to the first and second wing portions, such that the latter wing portions are not in mutual alignment, but are in intersecting relation.
