Sizer attachable to a garment hanger and method for making the sizer

Abstract

The present invention provides a sizer attachable to a garment hanger having a connector designed to be connected with a hook. The connector is formed with a plurality of protuberances on sides thereof. The sizer includes a hollow body having a plurality of sidewalls, a top connecting the sidewalls, and a hole defined in the top for the hook to extend through. The sidewalls and the top define an inner space for receiving the connector of the garment hanger. Furthermore, the hollow body has inner sides formed with recesses which are not perforating sidewalls of the hollow body and able to snap onto and to be engaged with the protuberances when the connector is entirely received in the inner space, so as to retain the sizer on the garment hanger.

       7 . A method for making sizer, which comprises the steps of: 
 preparing a sizer body having a ridge-like top;    cutting said ridge-like top to form a U-shaped notch having a planar bottom; and    boring a hole in said planar bottom of said U-shaped notch in a predetermined position.    
   
   
       8 . The method as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said predetermined position lies at the center of said planar bottom of said U-shaped notch.  
   
   
       9 . The method as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the sizer is a hollow body having inner sides formed with recesses extending partially through sidewalls of said hollow body.  
   
   
       10 . A garment hanger with an attached sizer comprising: 
 a garment hanger body having a connector, said connector having a threaded hole for connecting a hook, and    a sizer having a hollow body having a plurality of sidewalls, a top connecting said sidewalls, and a hole defined in said top for said hook to extend through, said sidewalls and said top defining an inner space for receiving said connector of said garment hanger;    wherein said connector has protuberances located on sides thereof, said hollow body has inner sides formed with recesses extending partially through the sidewalls of said hollow body,    wherein, when said connector is entirely received in said inner space, the protuberances of said connector are inserted into the recesses of the hollow body and the sizer is connected to the garment hanger.    
   
   
       11 . A sizer attachable to a garment hanger designed to be connected with a connector having a plurality of protuberances of said garment hanger, said sizer comprising: 
 a hollow body having a plurality of sidewalls, a top connecting said sidewalls, and a hole defined in said top for said hook to extend through, said sidewalls and said top defining an inner space for receiving said connector of said garment hanger;    wherein said protuberances are positioned on sides of said connector, said hollow body has inner sides formed with recesses extending partially through said sidewalls of said hollow body,    wherein, when said connector is entirely received in said inner space, the protuberances of said connector are inserted into the recesses of the hollow body and the sizer is connected to the garment hanger.
