Abstract

A device for shipping, displaying, and storing gloves in which a rack or hanger having a central axial body portion, a retaining portion, and two upright inserting portions, or arms, are used for mounting a pair of bulky gloves, such as those used for playing hockey. The gloves are retained on closely aligned arms, which hold the gloves upright with their palms facing inward, thus prominently displaying the backhand side of the gloves while providing secure, dense packing of the gloves. The hanger is suitable for shipping, displaying, and storing of a pair of gloves. The hanger is formed of a single steel wire, bent to form each portion of the hanger, thus providing a strong, aesthetically pleasing, and cost-effective product.
