         8 . The garment hanger according to  claim 7 , wherein the fourth edge is substantially 3 inches long. 
     
     
         9 . The garment hanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the third edge is substantially 2.5-3.5 inches long. 
     
     
         10 . The garment hanger according to  claim 9 , wherein the third edge is substantially 3 inches long. 
     
     
         11 . The garment hanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the third and fourth edges have the same length. 
     
     
         12 . The garment hanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the second edge is substantially 1-2 inches long. 
     
     
         13 . The garment hanger according to  claim 12 , wherein the second edge is substantially 1.5 inches long. 
     
     
         14 . The garment hanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the first edge is substantially 1-2 inches long. 
     
     
         15 . The garment hanger according to  claim 14 , wherein the first edge is substantially 1.5 inches long. 
     
     
         16 . The garment hanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second edges have substantially the same length. 
     
     
         17 .
