Abstract:
A clothes clip for securing clothes to a garment hanger, wherein the clothes clip consists of a first gripping member attached to a depending edge of said garment hanger and a second gripping member pivotally mounted on said first gripping member, each of said gripping members having a gripping face and a top end, and wherein the improvement comprises a symmetrical wire spring exerting symmetrical force on said gripping members about a central axis of said first and second gripping member, said symmetrical wire spring having two coils and a central loop, distal ends of said symmetrical spring bearing against said top end of said first gripping member, said central loop of said symmetrical spring bearing against said top end of said second gripping member, and said coils of said symmetrical spring being positioned along a pivot axis of said first and second gripping members, wherein said force of said symmetrical spring maintains the gripping faces together to hold clothes securely, and wherein pressure on said top ends of said griping members momentarily overcomes said force of said symmetrical spring to separate said gripping faces for removal of said clothes.
