Hangable Apparatus and Systems and Methods Therefor
A hanger ( 100 ) for a hanging item ( 1400 ) is provided. The hanger can define an aperture ( 102 ). The aperture can include a split rotated concave cardioid upper contour ( 104 ). The split rotated concave cardioid upper contour can include a first portion ( 105 ) and a second portion ( 106 ). The first portion and the second portion can be separated by an inverted convex cardioid ( 109 ). The inverted convex cardioid can be suspended into the aperture by two concave sidewalls ( 112,113 ). The aperture can include an intersecting concave lower contour ( 114 ) comprising a cusp ( 117 ).
