Abstract
An improved clothes hanger is biodegradable, disposable, and non-metallic. It is adapted to be usable in a prison, commercial airplane, or other weapons-free environment. The improved clothes hanger is provided by construction entirely of folded corrugated paper with two interconnected neck members. The neck members are intertwined via coordinated opposing slots in the hook portion of a clothes hanger having two shoulder portions. When a piece of clothing is hung on the clothes hanger, the folded doubled corrugated cardboard hanger supports and matches the curvature of the shoulders of the clothing, thus preventing wrinkling of the shoulders of the clothing. The structure is cut from a single piece of box corrugated cardboard and folded along a single fold line to form the hanger.
