Decoration hanger

A decoration hanger operable for hanging decorations around an opening without damaging a surrounding opening frame, or a portion of a building around the opening, the decoration hanger comprising:

• an unhinged central support member comprising an outer tubular member and a length adjustment mechanism that comprises an inner tubular member nested in the outer tubular member;
• a frictional member coupled to the central support member at each opposing end of the central support member, wherein the inner and outer tubular members facilitate fitting the central support member and the frictional members within openings having different sizes by sliding the inner tubular member in and out of the outer tubular member to a plurality of different positions, wherein an outwardly-directed force is applied to substantially parallel sides of an opening by the frictional members when the decoration hanger is located in the opening, whereby a frictional surface of the frictional members holds the decoration hanger in the opening without damaging the substantially parallel sides;
• and
• a lateral extension member integrally formed as an extension of the central support member protruding from each opposing end of the central support member, a proximal end of each lateral extension member protruding from an opposite end of the central support member at a generally perpendicular angle, wherein a distal end portion of each lateral extension member extends generally perpendicularly from a corresponding proximal end portion of the lateral extension member in a direction that is generally parallel to the central member and extends out of the opening to support a decoration along a side of the opening.

A decoration hanger operable for hanging decorations around an opening without damaging or marring the opening, a surrounding opening frame, or a portion of a building around the opening,

• the decoration hanger comprising:
• an unhinged central support member;
• a compressible element coupled to the central support member at each opposing end of the central support member, the central support member and the compressible element being configured to fit within an opening having substantially parallel sides, wherein the compressive element permits an outward force to be applied to frictional members movably attached thereto upon application of a compressive force to the compressible element to facilitate holding the decoration hanger in the opening without damaging the substantially parallel sides;
• a lateral extension member connected to and protruding from the central support member,
• wherein a corresponding frictional member is spaced apart from the lateral extension member;
• wherein a central axis of the corresponding frictional member is generally co-planar along a horizontal plane with a central axis of the lateral extension member;
• wherein the central axis of the frictional members is generally co-linear with the central axis of the central member,
• the lateral extension member being configured to extend to support a decoration beyond the opening,
• a central decorative support member located along and extending above the central support member, the central decorative support member being configured to support of decorations above the opening when the decoration hanger is located within the opening.
