A folding hanger assembly for a circular saw. It is fitted to circular saws with the aid of screw fasteners. It consists of a rod and bracket, that is fixed to the side of the saw. The interior width of the bracket is the same as the exterior width of the saw handle. This allows the hanger bracket to fit snugly over the saw handle. This snug fit prevents any rotating motion of the hanger which could cause excess pressure on the screws which fasten the hanger to the saw. There is a detent in the bracket and a spring for tension which provides an indexing action which holds the rod either flat against the saw or at a 90 degree angle from it. The hanger enables users to safely hang their saws on roof rafters, floor joists or studs. It also folds out of the way when not is use.
A two position hanger consisting of in combination with a portable power saw a rod bent into a square-ended horseshoe shape, 2 pins inserted through one section of said rod, and a u-shaped bracket which is drilled through the two parallel sections of said u-shaped bracket to receive said rod, the bracket stamped with the detents to seat one pin, a spring the other pin compressing said spring between said bracket and said other pin said, bracket in combination with said spring pins, and detents providing an indexing mechanism for said bracket being fixed to said power saw, and said horseshoe shaped rod acting as a hanger for saw power saw.
