Abstract
An ornament is suspended from a tree branch by a hanger formed by a pair of elongated jaws with serrated clamping faces pivotal into a confronting relation for engaging a tree branch. A pivot surrounded by a spring maintains a resilient contact force between the end portions of the jaws. An elongated hook projects from the pivot opposite to the pair of elongated jaws with a terminal end portion at a juxtaposition with a shank portion to form an entrance to a reversely extending loop for retaining a mounting fixture of an ornament.
Claims11
A hanger for suspending ornament from a tree branch, said hanger including the combination of:
- a pair of elongated jaws with one of said jaws having serrated clamp face pivotal into a confronting relation with a clamp surface of the other of said elongated jaws for engaging a tree branch between said jaws;
- a pivot for pivotally interconnecting end portions of said jaws;
- a resilient member arranged for applying a resilient force in a direction to urge said pair of elongated jaws toward one another under a resilient force sufficient for griping and retaining a tree branch against said serrated clamp face;
- and
- an elongated hook projecting from said pivot oppositely to said pair of elongated jaws, said elongated hook having a terminal end portion at a juxtaposition with a shank portion to form an entrance to a reversely extending loop for retaining a mounting fixture of an ornament.
