Benefits of technology

This patent describes a pair of hooks that can be used to hang items on a chain. The hooks have a body portion with a coupler extending outwardly from it. The first and second hooks can be connected together to form a continuous hook. The patent also describes a chain made of linked chains with hooks on the ends. The chain can be adjusted in length by adding or removing links between the hooks. The technical effect of this patent is a versatile and adjustable chain system for hanging items.

Problems solved by technology

Wrapping both hooks around a tree branch or other support member and attaching two separate hooks to the object to be suspended can be tricky as one may need to attempt to grasp both ends of the chain while holding the object to be suspended.

Abstract

A chain including a pair of hooks, the first hook having a first hook end and a first link end, the first hook end defining a first hook for suspending an article therefrom, the first link end defining a first link member for coupling the first hook to a chain. The chain including a second hook having a second hook end and a second link end, the second hook end defining a second hook for suspending an article therefrom, the second link end defining a second link member for coupling the second hook to the chain. The first and second hooks including first and second couplers respectively, the first and second couplers configured to connect one to the other for attaching the first hook adjacent to the second hook, the first and second hooks forming a continuous hook member when coupled adjacent one to the other.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to a chain and hooks and more particularly to a chain having mating hooks, one attached to each end of the chain. The chain for use in hanging articles from a tree, post or other structure, or for other purposes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.[0003]Prior art chains and hooks are well known and useful for hanging tools, potted plants, decorations and other items from trees, poles, wall hooks or other stationary objects. Most prior art chains include separate hooks which must be independently coupled to a chain or hook attached to an object to be suspended from the chain. Wrapping both hooks around a tree branch or other support member and attaching two separate hooks to the object to be suspended can be tricky as one may need to attempt to grasp both ends of the chain while holding...
