Abstract: A combination clip and hanger is used to suspend articles from walls, especially fabric-covered soft-core partitions. In one embodiment, the clip-hanger is formed of a single strand of stiff but bendable wire. The wire defines three components of the hanger, namely, a clip, a hook, and a prong. The clip is formed by two or more segments of wire, oriented in a generally longitudinal direction, and located in approximately the same plane. The hook is a generally transverse loop of wire, connecting two of the clip-forming segments, and protruding from the plane of the clip. One or both of the free ends of the wire can be formed into a prong. In another embodiment, the wire is inserted through a generally flat backer. The backer tends to prevent injury due to the prong; it also tends to protect the fabric of the partition. When the clip-hanger of either embodiment is inserted into a fabric-covered partition, the prong separates the fibers of the fabric, generally without piercing the fibers.

With the hanger in place, a variety of different articles can be suspended from a hook or other type of support mounted on the central hub portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hook for hanging ornaments on a Christmas tree and is equally useful as an article supporting hook for lightweight objects such as necklaces, keychains, laminated cards and the like. The hook is provided with an article supporting portion and an integral circular portion with a depending locking leg portion. In use the hook is placed over a supporting member such as the twig of a tree as a supporting rod with the twig or rod inserted through an open portion of the circular portion. Then the locking leg is manually manipulated such that the horizontal portion of the locking leg is retained behind an upper portion of the article supporting portion and due to the resiliency of the hook the locking leg is continually closed. To release the hook from the supporting member the locking member is manipulated such that the locking leg is released from the upper portion of the article supporting portion permitting the hook to be removed therefrom.

Abstract: A hook apparatus used for hanging articles on pegboards which includes a length of plated, resilient wire bent at various points and at various angles to create a hook which requires only a single hole for tight engagement. Due to the geometrical configuration of the sections relative to the board surface and to the pegboard hole, pressing the hook into position in a single hole in a pegboard generates a spring force in the hook which is opposed by the pegboard surface and hole edges, and which holds the hook tightly in position. Although engagement in only one hole is necessary for tight engagement, the hook apparatus is of such a configuration that the hook may be engaged in an upper pegboard hole for maximum tightness, with a stabilizer bend portion engaging a next lower hole to resist side-to-side deflection.
