Claim:
A pinch-grip hanger for a garment comprising: an elongated body; and first and second pinch-grips positioned along the body, each of the pinch-grips including: a first leg having an upper and a lower end; a second leg having an upper and a lower end, the first and second legs being in opposed front-to-back relationship; a first gripping tooth at the lower end of one of the first and second legs, wherein the gripping tooth has a length at least four times greater than the width and a width at least twice the thickness; a biasing mechanism that applies a biasing force to the lower ends of the first and second legs such that biasing force is directed toward the area of contact between the first and second legs and the garment, when the garment is held by the hanger; and the upper ends of the legs being relatively movable toward each other about a pivot axis to separate the respective gripping teeth, and thereby to open the pinch-grip.
