Benefits of technology

[0020] Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a hanger for quickly, easily, and securely hanging objects from a substantially cylindrical, vertically extending support structure, such as a Christmas tree.
[0021] Another object of the invention is to provide a hanger that can be shortened in order to customize the cantilevered hanger arm for its particular purpose. This can be achieved by provision of a series of score marks circumscribed around the distal portion of the cantilevered hanger arm. The hanger arm can be easily broken off at these score marks.
[0022] Another object of the invention is to provide secure means of hanging and retaining an object from the hanger arm. This object of the invention can be achieved, e.g., by provision of a series of intermittently spaced beads on the top side and distal portion of the hanger arm, by h

Problems solved by technology

They are often made up of several different parts, and have a multitude of fasteners or complex securing mechanisms that may render these hangers difficult and / or time-consuming to use.
Such hangers are often designed to support considerable weight and are therefore too heavy or large for lighter applications.
Most support mechanisms are not adjustable in length or angle of projection.
Several have multiple hanging-members and cannot be used singly.
Also their size, shape and color may make it difficult to use them aesthetically in a decorating capacity.

Embodiment Construction

[0042] For the purpose of this invention, descriptive and directional terms have been defined as follows: semi-circular—more than half a circle, less than a whole circle. The invention is to be employed in a terrestrial regime, and so is described as having an upper or top side opposite the gravitational force and a bottom or underside closest to the horizontal surface upon which it is supported. The terms proximal and distal are used to indicate the ends of components such as the hanger arms which are nearest and farthest from the vertical support member, respectively.

[0043] Turning now to the figures, a preferred embodiment of a hanger assembly 10 of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 1. The preferred device comprises semi-circular attachment means 12 of one piece of a resilient, springy material such as semi-rigid polypropylene. Wood, metal, other plastics or any combination thereof may be viable alternatives. The attachment means material simply needs to be of suffici...

Abstract

A hanger assembly (10) is disclosed that is adapted for the useful purpose of hanging articles (17) from a generally cylindrical, vertical support member (8). The hanger assembly (10) comprises a hanger arm (16) which connects easily to the vertical support member (8) with attachment means (12) and extends to adjustable lengths to hold articles (17) securely in place. Brace (14) is attached to the underside of attachment means (12) and extends vertically down the vertical support member (8) for added support of the hanger assembly (10).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field Of Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a hanger assembly for displaying or hanging objects from a substantially cylindrical, vertically extending structure or support, such as the trunk of a Christmas tree. [0003] 2. Discussion of Relevant Art [0004] Conventional hangers that attach to vertically extending support members, such as trees, posts, and poles, generally require tools to attach, remove or adjust the hangers. They are often made up of several different parts, and have a multitude of fasteners or complex securing mechanisms that may render these hangers difficult and / or time-consuming to use. [0005] Such hangers are often designed to support considerable weight and are therefore too heavy or large for lighter applications. Most support mechanisms are not adjustable in length or angle of projection. Several have multiple hanging-members and cannot be used singly. Also their size, shape and color may make it difficult ...
