Clothes hanger and clamps therefor

Claim 1

A clothes hanger formed from a length of wire comprising: said wire being arranged in generally triangular configuration having a bottom bar and a pair of upper bars connected to the ends of said bottom bar and extending upwardly therefrom in converging configuration; a pair of clips formed integrally and continuously on said bottom bar of said wire in spaced relation along said wire, said clips extending downwardly therefrom, each of said clips including a pair of substantially identical loops connected to each other and to said wire, said loops having free ends extending away from said wire, said loops being disposed closely to each other and being biased toward each other by the natural resilience of said wire, the ends of said loops in each clip being receptive to a portion of a garment; and said wire being formed to define a second pair of clips located in the corner regions defined by the ends of said bottom bar and their adjacent upper bars, said second pair of clips being disposed above said bottom bar and having free ends extending substantially toward each other, the free ends of said clips in said corners being inclined downwardly toward said bottom bar to define a slight space therebetween, said space being receptive to a portion of a garment, said resilient nature of said wire from which said corner clips are formed being effective to retain said garment in said space.
