Abstract
A hook assembly enables a user to stow handbags and the like underneath tables or similar other support structures. The hook assembly comprises a hook support and a hook member pivotally attached thereto. The hook support comprises an attachment surface and a hook-receiving depression. The hook member is pivotal intermediate a hook-withdrawn position and a hook-extended position. The depression is sized and shaped for housing the hook member when in the hook-withdrawn position. The table-attachment surface may be fixedly attached to the inferior support surface, and the hook actuation end may effectively function to receive and hang articles when the hook member is in the hook-extended position.
