• a hub disposed between the first and second plates holding the first and second plates in essentially parallel, spaced apart relationship;
• a hook member attached to the first end of at least one of the first and second plates, the hook member including a hook element defining a hook opening;
• means for ensuring a positive and releasable engagement of each hook element about the hub of the corresponding hook part;
• and
• wherein:
• the hook opening is sized to receive the hub of the corresponding hook part;
• and
• each plate is further defined by a plate angled portion disposed between the plate first end and the plate top edge, the plate angled portions allowing the first and second hook parts to be connected to one another with the plate angled portions of each hook part in juxtaposed position to one another.
