Abstract
A hangtag is provided that is capable of hanging and securing a tool, such as a socket. The hangtag has a body portion having a front surface and a back surface, a hanging mechanism connected to the body portion, and a tool supporting mechanism also connected to the body portion for supporting a tool. The tool supporting mechanism includes first and second legs and a locking finger disposed between the first and second legs. The locking mechanism allows the particular tool to be reattached to the hangtag assembly after it is initially unlocked. This allows the hangtag to function as a storage and organization device for the tool.

A hangtag assembly, comprising:
- a body;
- a hanging mechanism integrally formed at a first end of the body;
- and
- a supporting mechanism integrally formed at a second end of the body, the supporting mechanism comprising a support surface, first leg, second leg, and locking finger,
- wherein the first leg and second leg are vertically aligned with the body and the hanging mechanism, and
- wherein the locking finger is disposed on an inner surface of the first or second leg, and adapted to move from a first locking position to a second releasing position.
A hangtag assembly, comprising:
- a body;
- a hanging mechanism integrally formed at a first end of the body;
- and
- a supporting mechanism integrally formed at a second end of the body, the supporting mechanism comprising a support surface, first leg, second leg, and locking finger, the locking finger disposed on an inner surface of the first or second leg, and adapted to move from a first locking position to a second releasing position, wherein the supporting mechanism further comprises an opening formed in the support surface to provide access to the locking finger.
A hangtag assembly, comprising:
- a body;
- a hanging mechanism integrally formed at a first end of the body;
- and
- a supporting mechanism integrally formed at a second end of the body, the supporting mechanism comprising a support surface, first leg, second leg, and locking finger, the locking finger disposed on an inner surface of the first or second leg, and adapted to move from a first locking position to a second releasing position where the locking finger in the locking position prevents inward movement of the first and second legs toward one another, and
- wherein at least one of the first and second legs comprises at least one detent on an outer surface thereof.
