Dual towel hook with secure retention of a hanging article

A dual towel hook device with secure retention of one or more hanging articles, comprising:

• a hook body;
• the hook body having a rear face, a front face, and a J-shaped hook extending frontwards for hanging articles;
• a securing clip;
• the securing clip having a lower end including a lower surface, an upper appendage for hanging articles, and a transverse rotation axis;
• a torsion spring;
• the torsion spring coupling the hook body and the securing clip for rotation of the securing clip about the transverse rotation axis between an open position and a closed position;
• the lower surface aligned to the front face in the closed position;
• and
• the lower end and the upper appendage on opposing sides of the transverse rotation axis;
• and
• an abutment surface connected to the hook body for mounting the dual towel hook device;
• and
• a mounted configuration on the abutment surface selected from the group consisting of:
• double-sided pressure sensitive adhesive tape;
• an adhesive pad;
• and
• one or more bored mounting apertures;
• a surface mountable attachment bracket;
• the surface mountable bracket comprising the abutment surface;
• and
• the surface mountable bracket connected to the hook body.

A dual towel hook device with secure retention of a hanging article, comprising:

• a hook body;
• a torsion spring;
• a pin;
• a securing clip coupled with the hook body;
• the hook body comprising a generally uniform cross section having a J-shaped hook formed on a lowest extremity thereof, and an upper portion of the hook body having a central bore through its horizontal axis,
• the securing clip comprising of a lower surface aligned and coincident with a forward-most surface of the hook body J-shaped hook as coupled, a central bore through a horizontal axis coincident to the hook body central bore when coupled, an upper distal appendage, whereby articles can hang in a non-secure state,
• the torsion spring disposed between the hook body and securing clip, wherein a pin passes through the hook body central bore and the securing clip central bore, and
• the torsion spring to fasten the securing clip and hook body together, whereby the securing clip closes-off access to the hook body J-shaped hook in an alignment position in which the torsion spring is least tensioned but is easily rotated using one's finger or palm from the alignment position to hang articles which are grasped between the lower surface of the securing clip and the hook body J-shaped hook;
• and
• in which an abutment surface of the hook body is fixably attachable to a receiving mounting surface with double-sided pressure sensitive adhesive tape or an equivalent shaped adhesive pad.
