1. CLIP FOR HANGERS, to be applied to a bar (1, 1′) present along the entire longitudinal length of a hanger for clothing garments, said clip having a pair of opposed blades (2, 3), reciprocally connected by means of an elastic element (4) with opposed sides (5, 6), a curved nail (5′, 6′) being provided with concavity facing outwards, at both ends of said elastic element (4), which can be placed astride above said bar (1, 1′) of the hanger; each of the curved nails (5′, 6′) of the elastic element (4) being insertable into a recess (8) present in each of the blades (2, 3), said elastic element acting in such a way as to push the lower end of the blades (2, 3) into reciprocal contact, wherein:
the elastic element is substantially “U”-shaped and each of the blades (2, 3) is composed of a first internal element (2′, 3′), with a plane shape, and of a second external element (2″, 3″), also with a plane shape, superimposable on the first one to constitute said blade (2, 3), being even provided that the first internal element (2′, 3′) are identical to each other, as are the corresponding second external elements (2″, 3″), being also provided that each of the second external elements (2″, 3″) has a substantially identical perimeter development with respect to that of the first internal elements (2′, 3′), each of the second external elements (2″, 3″) being therefore perfectly superimposable with respect to each of the first internal elements (2′, 3′), due to the substantial coincidence of their perimeter edge, being finally provided that the elastic element, placed astride above the bar (1, 1′), presents its opposite sides (5, 6) with at least one section that overlaps a portion (30) of the first internal elements (2′, 3′), before the curved nail (5′, 6′) is inserted in the recess; and
the first internal elements (2′, 3′) have a “U”-shaped upper notch, while the second external elements (2″, 3″) have a window of elongated shape, into which portions of the elastic element are insertable.
