The specification discloses a system, method and apparatus for re-using garment hangers with size indicia mounted thereon. The method provides a closed loop for re-using the garment hangers by shipping hangers and the size indicia to clothing manufacturers, assembling the hangers with the size indicia and also hanging garments thereon, grouping the hangers with size indicia and garments thereon into batches which are then sent to retail stores for display and sale, at the point of sale removable a percentage of the hangers from the clothing and returning them to a reuse center where the size indicia is removed and the hangers cleaned before the hangers are returned to the clothing manufacturers to repeat the process. The supply of hangers may be augmented with newly molded hangers to maintain a constant and adequate supply for the clothing manufacturers. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now in detail to the drawings, and to the embodiments depicted in FIGS.
1 and 2, there is illustrated a hanger hook 2 with a color coded size cap 18 mounted thereon that is useful in the practice of the present invention.
The hook 2 of a molded plastic garment hanger is shown in simplified form and is adapted to engage a rod or other supporting means.
In practice the hook typically includes the strengthening ribs 12a, 12b around the perimeter of the hook.
It will be noted that in FIGS.
1 and 2, the body and clips of the hanger are not depicted.
The body and clip structure of the hanger can take on many different types of configurations as long as the hanger supports the garments suspended thereon.
In FIG.
5, several exemplary hanger styles which will accommodate a variety of types of clothing are depicted.
Each of the hangers shown in FIG.
5 includes a means for attaching a color coded size cap 18.
The color coded size cap 18 which is mounted on the hanger is more clearly illustrated in FIG.
2.
As shown therein the size cap includes side walls 20, 22 formed with at least one retention aperture 24, 26, as described in Australian Patent No.
638436 and U.
S.
Pat.
No.
5,388,354, the contents of which are incorporated into this specification by cross-reference.
The apertures 24, 26 define through-openings which facilitate stacking of the indicator 18 with other indicators prior to fitting to a hanger.
The indicator is retained on the hook by an indicator attachment mechanism.
As illustrated in FIGS.
1 and 2 the hook 2 is formed with a flange 14 defining a top region 16, which in a preferred embodiment is flattened and slightly larger in peripheral dimensions than the lowermost portion of an indicator 18.
An upstanding web 4 extends centrally from the top region 16 of the hook 2.
The web 4 can be shaped similarly to the shape of the cavity of the indicator 18 so as to comfortably fit within that cavity.
As one alternative, the web 4 can be shaped to follow the normal contour of the hanger hook
