Abstract
A hanger for womens purses, handbags, shopping bags, or other articles, is provided which consists of a pair of elongated hinged support arms with a rubber semi-cylindrical bail mounted at the distal end of one of the arms, and with some means at the distal end of the other arm from which a purse, or other article may be suspended. The hanger is constructed to extend over the edge of a flat or curved surface, such as a table, chair arm, or the like, with the rubber bail engaging the surface in a non-slip relationship and with the article being suspended by the hanger over the edge of the table top, arm, or the like. The hanger is foldable to a compact configuration when not in use, and when so folded, it is constructed so that it may be used as a police whistle to summon help in cases of emergency.
