  • Patent number: 4739912
    Abstract: A hanger is made with a molded plastic body and a metal hook. The body has a vertical hole to receive the shank of the hook. The lower end of the hole communicates with an opening or pocket in the hanger body. The shank of the hook is provided with a diametrically enlarged head, the end of which is tapered. The cylindrical diameter of the shank is less than that of the hole and the diameter of the head is more than that of the hole. The hook is assembled by forcing or plunging the head and shank through the hole until the head seats in the opening. The resilience of the plastic of the hanger body restores the hole to its original diameter and a substantially radial shoulder formed by the top of the head seats against the top of the opening about the end of the hole supporting the body on and for free rotation about the hook.
