Claim:
A hanger comprising: a horizontally extending synthetic resin hanger body; a rotatable hanging hook provided in the middle of said hanger body; a pair of synthetic resin clip mounting portions detachably mounted on respective ends of said hanger body, each of said synthetic resin clip mounting portions including at least one horizontally extending resin pivot shaft mounting at least one synthetic resin clip, wherein each said synthetic resin clip comprises: a pair of synthetic resin clip members positioned opposite each other and mounted on said pivot shaft, each of said synthetic resin clip members having opposite side edges, an inner face and operating portions at an end of said clip members; a pair of abutting portions provided on each of said synthetic resin clip members at said opposite side edges thereof and along the length thereof, each of said abutting portions extending inwardly from a respective said inner face of said clip members; a synthetic resin spring having a U shape that includes a bend at an intermediate portion of said synthetic resin spring, said synthetic resin spring being positioned and arranged between said synthetic resin clip members such that said abutting portions of said synthetic resin clip members abut against an outer periphery of said pivot shaft at two locations at two points along said pivot shaft in a longitudinal direction thereof under force of said synthetic resin spring and such that pushing said operating portions toward each other is against the force of said synthetic resin spring; nipping portions at another end of said clip members that are moved away from each other when said operating portions are pushed toward each other and that are capable of grasping an object when the pushing of said operating portions toward each other is released; a pair of bracket bearing portions structured and arranged such that one bracket bearing portion of said pair of bracket bearing portions projects from said inner face between said abutting portions of each of said synthetic resin clip members, wherein said bracket bearing portions project inwardly from opposite directions, wherein said bracket bearing portions have respective bearing spaces formed therein at front-end portions thereof, and wherein said bearing spaces are formed such that said bracket bearing portions bear said pivot shaft with said pivot shaft extending through said bearing spaces and so that said synthetic resin clip members will be held on said pivot shaft by said bracket bearing portions without flying apart upon breakage of said synthetic resin spring.
