Abstract
A hanger, particularly adapted to connect or attach items to a chain link fence, includes a central hub portion which is preferably spherically shaped and three arms which extend outwardly therefrom. Two of the arms extend to the sides and are bent rearwardly terminating in ball-shaped cams. The third arm extends upwardly and has its free end bent forwardly and also terminating in a ball. The hanger is attached to a fence by feeding the end of the third leg under one of the diagonally extending fence wires and then snapping the balls at the ends of the other two arms around the outer edges of the two spaced apart fence wires that are perpendicular to the first wire. With the hanger in place, a variety of different articles can be suspended from a hook or other type of support mounted on the central hub portion.
