Methods for forming a hanger for a chain link fence

A hook apparatus adapted for use on a chain link fence constructed and arranged as follows:

• A first element, vertically disposed, having two oppositely located end portions;
• A second element, vertically disposed, integral with first said element and extending from the top one of the said two oppositely located end portions of said first element and disposed with said first element in an L-shape before said first and second elements are folded relative to one another and disposed with said first element in a generally parallel configuration after being folded;
• Said first and second elements being separated by approximately 1.125 inches in their folded position;
• A flat fold portion connecting said first and second elements when said first and second elements are in their folded disposition, said fold portion being disposed perpendicular relative to a vertical reference and perpendicular to both first and second elements;
• Said flat fold portion having opposing staggered notches on the anterior side edge of said flat fold portion,
• Said staggered notches having first notch centered approximately 0.431 inches from the union of the first element and the flat fold portion and second notch centered approximately 0.431 inches from the union of the second element and the flat fold portion, both notches having an internal radius of approximately 0.156 inches;
• Said staggered notches and notch radius enhance engagement of the wire portions of the chain link fence at the bottom of the diamond pattern with said flat fold portion after said wire portion passes between first and second elements and the wire portions, securely fitting into first and second notches filling the notch radius;
• Said second element being integral with said other elements and extending away from flat fold portion, configured and arranged for supporting various articles suspended therefrom;
• and
• Said elements having generally constant width of approximately 2.20 inches.
