Multi-purpose hanger

A hanger, comprising:

• a connecting member having a surface configured to substantially conform to at least a portion of an upright support member;
• a strap member connected to the connecting member and extendable about the support member for holding the connecting member against the support member;
• a hanger arm having a first end pivotally connected to the connector member and a free second end adapted to suspend an item therefrom;
• and
• an adjustable support arm having a first end pivotally connected to the hanger arm a distance from the first end of the hanger arm and a second end matingly engageable against selective portions of the connector member to support the hanger arm in a selected angular relationship with respect to the upright support member, the second end of the support arm disengageable from the connecting member solely by a generally upward movement of the support arm to permit the angular relationship of the hanger arm with respect to the upright support member and thus the position of the item suspended from the second end of the hanger arm to be altered without altering the position of the connector member.
