Abstract
An applicator is provided for the installation of size-indicating tabs on garment hangers. The applicator facilitates the installation of small, non-reusable, child-proof size-indicating tabs on garment hanger specially equipped to accommodate the tabs. The applicator includes a tube-like structure with a tapered outlet and a means for advancing a stick or coil of tabs forward in the tube. One preferred applicator includes multiple tubes attached to one another in a side-by-side fashion so that the operator may choose between a small, medium, large and extra-large size-indicating tabs.
