  • Patent number: 6216886
    Abstract: A hanger adapted to attach to a post has a skirt attached to the bottom side of a substantially horizontal base plate having a hole defined therein. A tubular sleeve is attached to the base plate just below the hole. The end of the sleeve distant from the base plate hole is capped by a stop plate. A pole rests on the stop plate in the sleeve and extends upward through the hole in the base plate. A number of arms are attached to the top of the pole and extend radially away from it. A projection on the pole is designed to fit within gaps defined between a number of stops attached to the base plate. The pole is set to different positions by raising the pole until the projection is above a gap, turning the pole until the projection is over a different gap, and lowering the pole back down such that the projection rests within the different gap.
