Abstract
A hanging apparatus includes a body containing a rotating hanging member that may be recessed inside the body when not being used and easily rotated out from the body at an angle when needed to hang an item. The use of a hanging member that can be recessed provides for a hanging system that is more compact for storage and packaging, and less unsightly when not being used to hang an item. The hanging apparatus may be temporarily secured to an object, such as a tree trunk when used outdoors, with a belt that passes through a channel in the body. Alternatively, the hanging apparatus may be attached to an object or structure through use of conventional attachment means such as a screw, nail, or adhesive. The hanging apparatus may also be built directly into a structure such as a wall.
