Abstract

A hanger for suspending at least one object for a support includes a base having a top surface, a bottom surface and a cap extending from the top surface of the base. Further, the cap is slideably and removably positioned within the at least one slot and the cap mutually engages the at least two legs to suspend the at least one object secured to the base.

Claims (17)

1. A hanger for suspending at least one object from a support, said hanger comprising:

a base having a generally planar, horizontally-extending top surface and an opposing, generally planar, horizontally-extending bottom surface;

a cap extending upwardly from said top surface of said base, said cap being integral and unitary with said base; and

two spaced-apart holding prongs extending downwardly from said bottom surface of said base, said two spaced-apart holding prongs defining a generally circular opening therebetween, said opening being sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of said object therein, the two spaced-apart holding prongs being generally arcuate with respect to an imaginary vertical axis that extends through a geometric center of said base.

2. The hanger in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said holding prongs are configured to engage at least a portion of said object.

3. The hanger in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising packaging extending around an entire periphery of said base.

4. The hanger in accordance with claim 3 , wherein said packaging is transparent.

5. The hanger in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said cap is generally centrally positioned with respect to said base along said imaginary vertical axis that extends through said geometric center of said hanger, and wherein said top surface of said base extends horizontally beyond a top surface of said cap around an entire periphery thereof.

6. The hanger in accordance with claim 5 , wherein a horizontally-extending flange extends outwardly from a top surface of said cap.

7. A hanger for suspending at least one object from a support, said hanger comprising:

a base having a generally planar, horizontally-extending top surface and an opposing, generally planar, horizontally-extending bottom surface;

a cap extending upwardly from said top surface of said base, a horizontally-extending flange extending outwardly from a top surface of said cap; and

two spaced-apart holding prongs extending downwardly from said bottom surface of said base, said two spaced-apart holding prongs defining a generally circular opening therebetween, said opening being sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of said object therein, the two spaced-apart holding prongs being generally arcuate with respect to an imaginary vertical axis that extends through a geometric center of said base.

8. The hanger in accordance with claim 7 , wherein said holding prongs are configured to engage at least a portion of said object.

9. The hanger in accordance with claim 7 , further comprising packaging extending around an entire periphery of said base.

10. The hanger in accordance with claim 9 , wherein said packaging is transparent.

11. The hanger in accordance with claim 7 , wherein said cap is generally centrally positioned with respect to said base along said imaginary vertical axis that extends through said geometric center of said hanger, and wherein said top surface of said base extends horizontally beyond a top surface of said cap around an entire periphery thereof.
