FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to display hangers and, more particularly, to Halloween.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONEvery Halloween is celebrated Oct. 31. Jack-o-lanterns are often displayed on the ground where their view is obscured by the angle viewed. By elevating a carved pumpkin to eye-level, an improved view is provided to Halloween trick-or-treaters and by suspending in air, jack-o-lanterns may gently swing and sway in the darkness and my pumpkin display hanger creates a spooky illusion of floating.
It would be advantageous to provide a method to suspend a Halloween jack-o-lantern for display to trick-or-treaters at Halloween time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn accordance with the present invention, there is provided a device to display a Halloween jack-o-lantern for display by suspending in air. A circular or other geometrically shaped ring with multiple cords provides the base support for the pumpkin while the cords extend up and through a second lock ring which slides up and down the cords to provide a means to lock the pumpkin in securely between the base support ring and the sliding lock ring. The cords are secured above to a platform in which an eyelet or hook is fastened for whole apparatus to hang from.
