Abstract:
A clothes hanger with a pants holding device for clamping pants, said clothes hanger comprising:a hook;a shoulder contour component having a first and second arm; each said arm contains an engagement opening which forms a first and second bearing, respectively, said hook affixed to said shoulder contour component;a crosspiece between said arms;a spring element having a first and second spring end and extending approximately parallel to said crosspiece, each said engagement opening open toward said spring element, said first and second spring end held in said first and second bearing free of restraint respectively, and forming an articulation having an essentially stationary axis of rotation, said spring element can move between a release position and a clamping position whereby, in said clamping position, the pants can be clamped between said crosspiece and said spring element; anda holding track piece associated with said spring element, said track has a lesser length than said spring element and which track has a greater bending resistance than said spring element, said track associated with the spring element in such a manner that a bending of said spring element is prevented in the area of the track, and length of the spring element is dimensioned so that it is under inherent tension and that the release position and the clamping position of said spring element are located above and below an ideal line imagined as running between the bearings and extending parallel to the crosspiece.
