Abstract:
1. A combination of a garment hanger and a resilient indicia tag: wherein the garment hanger comprises a web; wherein said web has a web first major face and a web second major face, said web has web aperture surfaces defining a web aperture extending from said web first major face to said web second major face, and said web aperture surfaces comprise a first web latching surface; wherein the indicia tag is substantially U-shaped in cross-section, such that said cross-section has an indicia tab bottom at the bottom of the U shape, a first leg extending from said indicia tag bottom, and a second leg extending from said indicia tag bottom, said first leg having a first leg inner surface, said second leg having a second leg inner surface, at least a portion of said first leg inner surface adjacent said indicia tag bottom opposing at least a portion of said second leg inner surface adjacent said indicia tag bottom, and said indicia tag comprising an indicia tag latch structure protruding from said first leg inner surface towards said second leg inner surface, wherein said indicia tag latch structure defines an indicia tag latching surface facing said indicia tag bottom; wherein said web and said indicia tag are structured so that said web and said indicia tag latch together in a latching relationship in which said indicia tag latching surface opposes said first web latching surface and in which a portion of said web is disposed in said U-shaped cross-section of said indicia tag; wherein, when said web and said indicia tag are in said latching relationship, said first leg covers said web aperture and said second leg does not cover said web aperture, such that said first leg inner surface is accessible through said web aperture; and wherein said first leg is sufficiently resilient to survive repeated deformation of said first leg away from said web to an extent that said indicia tag latching surface no longer opposes said first web latching surface.
