  "abstract": "A fabric clip that is particularly adapted to hang and display garments on a hanger. The fabric clip comprises a looped resilient member having an opening formed in the loop. A pair of flared legs converge at the opening, and aid in the insertion of the fabric into the loop. The loop can then be hung from a hanger by a hook formed at the top thereof. In this way, a pair of hooks can be secured on a hanger and a garment can be suspended from the looped portion of the clip.",
  "claims": [
    "1. A fabric clip comprising a plastic loop, said loop having a slot formed therein, means projecting from said loop, said projecting means being adapted to mount said loop on a hanger, a pair of convergent legs formed on said loop at said slot, said legs being flared outwardly from said loop at said slot, and depending from said loop, whereby fabric can be inserted into said loop by passing it vertically through said legs and through said slot, with the flare of said legs aiding in the insertion, with the resilient nature of said plastic urging the ends of the loop at said slot toward each other to retain the fabric in place, and means for opening said loop at said slot, said opening means comprising a pair of divergent ears projecting outwardly from the top of said loop, with said slot being formed at the bottom of said loop, whereby said slot may be opened by squeezing said ears toward each other.",
    "2. A fabric clip comprising a loop of resilient material, said loop having a slot formed therein, a pair of convergent legs formed on said loop at said slot, said clip being adapted to resiliently hold a fabric within said loop by passing said fabric through said slot and receiving said fabric in said loop, and means projecting from said loop, said projecting means being adapted to mount said loop on a hanger, said projecting means comprising a lip projecting inwardly from the top of said loop, said lip having an open slot formed therein, with a portion of said hanger adapted to be received in said slot.",
    "3. The fabric clip of claim 2 wherein said slot has an internal diameter that is smaller than the external diameter of said portion of said hanger whereby said fabric clip will frictionally engage said hanger."
