Hanger clip

A clip for suspending an article therefrom, comprising a pair of jaw members that are hingedly mounted about a common hinge axis and that are pivotally movable to a closed position for clamping an article therebetween, and a spring member mounted on said jaw members for relative movement with respect thereto and having leg elements that are urged inwardly toward each other and that overlie said jaw members in the closed position for urging said jaw members into the closed position for clamping said article therebetween, means formed on said spring member cooperating with means formed on said jaw member for positively moving said jaw members in a pivotal movement to a fully open position when said spring member is pulled outwardly relative to said jaw members, wherein the article clamped between said jaw members is released therefrom, said means formed on said spring member further including pins and said means formed on said jaw members further including slots for receiving said pins, said pins and slots further cooperating to prevent accidental disengagement of said spring member from said jaw members, when the spring member is moved to the fully open positions, each of said pins having a "T" configuration that includes a head portion that is captured within each slot in a jaw member, wherein the pins are movable in confined relation within said slots.
