Abstract
An improved garment hanger is provided, in several embodiments, that reduces the likelihood of the hanger being dislocated from the supporting hanger rack when the hanger is moving vertically as a result of the release of stored energy when garments are removed from the hanger. Various individual blocking members are provided on the different embodiments with several of the embodiments being particularly drawn to applications on typical plastic and wire hangers. Some blocking member configurations are particularly suited for reducing the degree of pivot by the hanger when supported by a hook-shaped hanger rack.
