Garment hanger with rounded ends for improved clothes storage

Abstract

A garment hanger with a unique curved profile that better accommodates the natural shape of a garment in order to prevent unsightly bumps from being formed in the fabric of the garment due to the fabric being stretched while hanging. The improved clothes hanger, as presently claimed, allows garments to be stored on the improved clothes hanger for a longer period of time without fear of stretching. The improved clothes hanger is manufactured of a single molded piece of plastic material, or other suitable, moldable, inexpensive material that will support the weight of a garment.
