Abstract
A garment hanger construction wherein a hook is adapted to be releasably secured to a hanger body in a first locked position and a second swivel position, is provided. The hook includes an elongated shaft having at least first and second projections. The hanger body includes a bearing sleeve for receiving the elongated shaft, the bearing sleeve having a projection receiving slot and a projection receiving groove. The hook is coordinately axially displaceable between a first locked position wherein the first projection is disposed in the slot in the bearing sleeve to thereby prevent the hook from rotating and a second swivel position wherein the second projection is disposed in the groove to permit the hook to freely swivel with respect to the hanger body.
