A garment hanger includes a hook composed of a metal wire, and a hanger body to which the hook is detachably connected for holding clothes therearound, the hanger body being integrally formed of a resin, the hook including a hook portion, a bending portion through which the hook is connected to the hanger body, and a shaft portion connecting the hook portion and the bending portion to each other, the hanger body including a shaft guide formed therethrough with a path through which the shaft portion of the hook is inserted, and a hook-receiving unit to which the bending portion is engaged and in which the bending portion is housed when the bending portion is pulled up with the shaft portion being inserted into the path of the shaft guide, to thereby connect the hook to the hanger body.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A garment hanger comprising a hook composed of a metal wire, and a hanger body to which said hook is detachably connected for holding clothes therearound, said hanger body being integrally formed of a resin,
 said hook including a hook portion, a bending portion through which said hook is connected to said hanger body, and a shaft portion connecting said hook portion and said bending portion to each other,   said hanger body including;   a shaft guide formed therethrough with a path through which said shaft portion of said hook is inserted; and   a hook-receiving unit to which said bending portion is engaged and in which said bending portion is housed when said bending portion is pulled up with said shaft portion being inserted into said path of said shaft guide, to thereby connect said hook to said hanger body.   
     
     
         2 . The garment hanger as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said bending portion is bent in one of opposite directions around said shaft portion, and
 said garment hanger includes two hook-receiving units located at opposite sides about said shaft portion.   
     
     
         3 . The garment hanger as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said hook-receiving unit includes;
 a recess for preventing said bending portion from upwardly, forwardly and backwardly moving; and   a pair of protrusion units for preventing said bending portion from downwardly moving.   
     
     
         4 . The garment hanger as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein each of said protrusion units includes a claw and a protrusion, and wherein when said hook-receiving unit receives therein said bending portion, said bending portion moves over said protrusion to elastically deform said claw to thereby be housed in said recess. 
     
     
         5 . The garment hanger as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein said shaft guide includes at least two shaft receivers for receiving said shaft portion along an axis of said shaft portion, said shaft receivers being alternately situated in front of and at rear of said shaft portion. 
     
     
         6 . The garment hanger as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein said shaft guide includes two or three shaft receivers, said shaft portion being open at a side opposite to a side at which said shaft portion is received in each of said shaft receivers. 
     
     
         7 . The garment hanger as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein a slit is formed between said claws. 
     
     
         8 . The garment hanger as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said bending portion is substantially L-shaped relative to said shaft portion. 
     
     
         9 . The garment hanger as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein said bending portion is bent in a direction identical to or opposite to a direction in which said hook portion is bent.
