Multi-purpose hanger for tree ornaments

A hanger for hanging an ornament on a tree branch comprised of a unitary body having:

• a first free end at which the unitary body terminates,
• a second free end positioned opposite the first free end at which the unitary body terminates,
• a first curved portion extending from the first free end and defining a first space of sufficient size to enable the first curved portion to press against a tree branch that is within the first space,
• a second curved portion extending from the second free end and defining a second space of sufficient size to enable the second curved portion to press against a tree branch that is within the second space, the first free end and the first curved portion being beside the second curved portion,
• a first side having a first end and a second end and a straight portion between the first end and the second end of the first side, the first end of the first side attached to the first curved portion,
• a second side having a first end and a second end and a straight portion between the first end and the second end of the second side, the first end of the second side attached to the second curved portion, and
• a bottom having a first end and a second end, the first end of the bottom attached to the second end of the first side, and the second end of the bottom attached to the second end of the second side such that the first side, second side and bottom define a third space and the first space, second space and third space define a first unobstructed space,
• wherein the sides are moveable relative to one another to a selected relative position in which the first free end entirely overlays a portion of the second side proximate the first end of the second side and the second free end entirely overlays a portion of the first side proximate the first end of the first side,
• the unitary body having sufficient elasticity and memory such that forces acting on at least one of the free ends and the sides in an outward direction will move at least one of the first curved portion and the second curved portion away from one another wherein, when moved, the first curved portion is moved through and within a first plane passing through the first curved portion and the first side and, when moved, the second curved portion is moved through and within a second plane passing through the second curved portion and the second side to a position where the free ends and the curved portions do not overlap any curved portion or side, an unobstructed space exists between the free ends, and the sides are spaced apart from one another to form a fourth space between the sides such that the first space, second space and fourth space define a second unobstructed space and when the forces are removed the body will return to its original shape.
