A collapsible coat hanger formed entirely of molded polypropylene includes a hook supported by a body member having right and left hanger arms attached thereto by hinge straps. The body includes a stop member and outer stop shoulders. Right and left symmetrical hinged locking arms are connected by hinge straps to inner surfaces of the left and right hanger arms and are connected together at their upper inner edges by a center hinge strap. Each locking bar has an upper boss with a perpendicular bearing surface. The ends of a C-shaped integral spring are attached to the left and right locking arms, respectively, by hinge straps on either side of the center hinge. When the hanger is collapsed, the spring is in its relaxed configuration, and the center hinge strap is below the spring hinge straps. When the hanger is in its open configuration, the center hinge strap is above the spring hinge straps and engages the stop member. The bearing surfaces engage shoulders of the stop member, locking the hanger in its opened configuration.
