A garment hanger comprising a body, a hook member and a first and second clamp assembly. The body includes a beam member, a first end and a second end. The beam member has an upper flange and a lower flange spaced apart from the upper flange. Additionally, a first web portion extends from and is oblique to the upper flange. A second web portion extends from and is oblique to the lower flange. The two web portions intersect each other between the upper and lower flanges. The hook member is coupled to the body. The clamp members are positioned on opposing sides of the body. One or both of the clamp assemblies include a rear assembly half and a front assembly half. The two halves are pivotally coupled to each other. Each half has a garment engaging surface and a spring receiving region. The spring receiving region is configured to receive a at least two spring members. At least one spring member is coupled to the spring receiving region so as to bias the garment engagement surfaces toward each other.

What is claimed is: 1. A garment hanger comprising: a body having a beam member, a first end and a second end, the beam member having an upper flange and a lower flange spaced apart from the upper flange, a first web portion extending from and oblique to the upper flange and a second web portion extending from and oblique to the lower flange, the two web portions intersecting between the upper and lower flanges; a hook member coupled to the body; a first clamp assembly and a second clamp assembly, the first clamp assembly positioned at the first end of the body and the second clamp assembly positioned at the second end of the body, at least one of the clamp assemblies comprising, a rear assembly half and a front assembly half pivotably coupled to each other about a corresponding pivot structure positioned on each of the rear assembly half and the front assembly half, each of the front and rear assembly halves having a garment engagement surface at one end thereof and finger engagement surfaces at the other end thereof, and on an opposing side of the respective pivot structure, and two spaced apart spring receiving regions each configured for receiving a spring member, wherein the forcing of the finger engagement surfaces toward each other results in the separation of the garment engagement surfaces from each other; and further consisting of a single spring member coupled to one of the two spring receiving regions of each of the front and rear assembly halves, to, in turn, bias the garment engagement surfaces of each of the front and rear assembly halves toward each other. 2. The garment hanger of claim 1 wherein the upper flange, the lower flange and the first and second web portions define a substantially "M" shaped cross-sectional configuration. 3. The garment hanger of claim 1 wherein the first and second web portions intersect substantially midway between the upper flange and the lower flange. 4. The garment hanger of claim 1 wherein each of the upper flange, the lower flange and the first and second web portions have a substantially identical width. 5. The garment hanger of claim 1 wherein the first and second web portions are substantially mirror images of each about a plane which extends through the intersection of the first and second web portions and which is substantially parallel to at least one of the upper and lower flanges. 6. The garment hanger of claim 1 wherein the body further includes a first deflecting member and a second deflecting member, the first deflecting member and the second deflecting member positioned at opposing ends of the beam member, resulting in a thickness at least that of a respective one of the first clamp assembly and second clamp assembly proximately positioned. 7. The garment hanger of claim 1 wherein the first and second clamp assemblies are substantially identical. 8. The garment hanger of claim 1 wherein the two spaced apart spring receiving region of the front assembly half comprises a pair of spaced apart openings and a spring receiver corresponding to each opening positioned on an outer surface of the front assembly half, the two spaced apart spring receiving assembly of the rear assembly half comprises a pair of spaced apart openings and a spring receiver corresponding to each opening positioned on an outer surface of the rear assembly half, each spring member extending through an opening in each of the front and rear assembly halves, and received in a corresponding spring receiver associated with the respective opening. 9. The garment hanger of claim 8 wherein each spring receiver comprises a channel extending along an outer surface of each of the front assembly half and rear assembly half. 10. The garment hanger of claim 1 wherein the single spring member comprises a substantially "U" shaped spring member having a central region, a first leg region and a second leg region. 11. A garment hanger comprising: a body having a beam member, a first end and a second end; a hook member coupled to the body; a first clamp assembly and a second clamp assembly, the first clamp assembly positioned at the first end of the body and the second clamp assembly positioned at the second end of the body, at least one of the clamp assemblies comprising, a rear assembly half and a front assembly half pivotably coupled to each other about a corresponding pivot structure positioned on each of the rear assembly half and the front assembly half, each of the front and rear assembly halves having a garment engagement surface at one end thereof and finger engagement surfaces at the other end thereof, and on an opposing side of the respective pivot structure, and two spaced apart spring receiving regions each configured for receiving a spring members, wherein the forcing of the finger engagement surfaces toward each other results in the separation of the garment engagement surfaces from each other; and further consisting of a single spring member coupled to one of the two spring receiving regions of each of the front and rear assembly halves, to, in turn, bias the garment engagement surfaces of each of the front and rear assembly halves toward each other. 12. The garment hanger of claim 11 wherein the first and second clamp assemblies are substantially identical. 13. The garment hanger of claim 11 wherein the two spaced apart spring receiving region of the front assembly half comprises a pair of spaced apart openings and a spring receiver corresponding to each opening positioned on an outer surface of the front assembly half, the two spaced apart spring receiving assembly of the rear assembly half comprises a pair of spaced apart openings and a spring receiver corresponding to each opening positioned on an outer surface of the rear assembly half, each spring member extending through an opening in each of the front and rear assembly halves, and received in a corresponding spring receiver associated with the respective opening. 14. The garment hanger of claim 13 wherein each spring receiver comprises a channel extending along an outer surface of each of the front assembly half and rear assembly half. 15. The garment hanger of claim 11 wherein the single spring member comprises a substantially "U" shaped spring member having a central region, a first leg region and a second leg region.
