Abstract
A hanger that has a C-shaped body and two ends capped with ball-like structures. The hanger is constructed of a resilient material so that when the ends are forced apart, a spacing therebetween increases, and when released, the ends move together. In use, the C-shaped hanger is spread apart and applied to a ceiling beam, and is then released so that the ball ends firmly clamp to the opposing sides of the beam. Items can be suspended from the body of the C-shaped hanger and displayed at an elevated position for all in the vicinity to view the item.
Claims18
A method of using a resilient C-shaped hanger for suspending an item therefrom, the method comprising:
- forcing opposing ends of the resilient C-shaped hanger apart so that a size of an opening between said opposing ends is increased sufficiently to place the opposing ends of said C-shaped hanger around an edge of a beam;
- releasing the resilient C-shaped hanger so that a distance between the opposing ends decreases in size and said C-shaped hanger is clamped to opposite sides of the beam;
- and
- suspending the item from the resilient C-shaped hanger so that the item is displayed at an elevated position on said beam.
A method of using a resilient C-shaped hanger for suspending an item therefrom, the method comprising:
- locating a horizontal beam with opposing vertical sidewalls and a bottom;
- forcing opposing ends of the resilient C-shaped hanger apart so that a spacing between said opposing ends is increased sufficiently to engage each end of said C-shaped hanger with a respective said vertical side of said horizontal beam;
- releasing said resilient C-shaped hanger so that the spacing between the opposing ends decreases in size and said opposing ends are clamped to the sidewalls of said beam;
- allowing a midsection of said C-shaped hanger to be located below the bottom of said horizontal beam;
- and
- suspending the item from the midsection of said resilient C-shaped hanger so that the item is displayed below said horizontal beam.
