Abstract
An improved unitary garment hangers is provided wherein an angular leg extension of a central hanger support structure, such as a hook, cooperates with, and connects to, the apex connection between upper ends of hanger shoulder supports. The perimeter distance along one shoulder support from the outer end thereof to the angular leg extension is substantially greater than the corresponding distance for the other shoulder support. This shoulder length differential is achieved either by the support angular leg extension or by a combination of this extension with a terminally adjacent upper portion of one shoulder support. Such a garment hanger permits both rapid and easy inserting or removing of the hanger through a garment neck region without stretching or tearing of the garment, and inserting or removing the hanger from underneath the garment.
