Abstract
Abstract The garment hanger, used for supporting waisted garments comprises, a support member, having a hook extending upwardly therefrom, the hook being removably connectable to a display bar, the outer extremities of the support member having waistband support members which extend downwardly therefrom. The waistband support members are generally oval in shape, the long axis being transverse to the support member and being open at its lower end. At the open end of each waistband support member, an angular surface is provided which terminates in an extension member which is in alignment with the long axis thereof while a second extension member extends downwardly at an angle parallel to the angular surface forming a lip internally of the waistband support members whereby the waistband of a garment is insertable between the two extension members and retainable in the waistband support members.
