Hanger support

In combination, a rectilinear hanger bar oriented in an inclined attitude, an elongated hanger strip mounted on the upper surface of said rectilinear hanger bar for supporting a plurality of hangers for carpet samples and the like from the hanger bar with the hangers each including a hook for extending over the hanger strip and the hanger bar, said hanger strip comprising an elongated molded unitary strip including a plurality of duplicate, equally spaced projections longitudinally aligned along the strip and defining a series of recesses therebetween for receiving the hooks of the hangers, said projections each including parallel front and rear surfaces extending across the length of the strip at an angle other than a right angle with respect to the length of the strip and with the front and rear surfaces of each projection oriented parallel to the front and rear surfaces of adjacent ones of the projections, said recesses between said projections each including a curved hanger support surface extending parallel to the front and rear surfaces of said projections, the projections of said hanger strip being offset from the upper surface of the tubular hanger bar at an angle sufficient to orient the ends of each recess at substantially the same level.
