a series of transverse, closely spaced, grooves in a substantially continuous, sinuous cross-sectional configuration along the length of said arms, said grooves being inclined along the length of said arms and being integrally formed to follow the transverse convex contour of said upper surfaces and to be defined by ridges flush with said upper surfaces.

2. A clothes hanger as defined in claim 1, in which said central truncated conical section extends vertically from its upper surface to said lower web for a distance approximately two-thirds of the full vertical dimension of said hollow plastic body.
