Description

FIG. 1 is a front, right perspective view for a hanger clip for stairway spindles and balusters;

FIG. 2 is a back, left view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a right side view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a bottom view thereof;

FIG. 8 is a rear view thereof;

FIG. 9 is a front, right perspective view showing the hanger clip in use with a type of environment thereof; and,

FIG. 10 is a front, right perspective view showing the hanger clip in use with a second type of environment thereof.

The broken lines show unclaimed environment and form no part of the claimed design.

My new design for a “hanger clip” for stairway spindles & balusters is designed to allow stairway spindles & balusters to be decorated, highlighted or showcased in addition to the railings & bannisters. Instead of having to use nails, glue, tape, twine or cable ties to attach or hold greeting cards, holiday stockings & lighting, and other seasonal decorations to the spindles or balusters, my design allows for a quick attachment & detachment on circular, square or diamond shaped spindles or balusters at any height or placement. It can be used on stairway spindles & balusters, pipes, or similarly shaped structures in either interior or exterior applications.

Claims
