Abstract
A ligature resistant hook for supporting a personal article from a wall or door or other vertical support surface. The hook includes a pivot arm that is biased into a retracted, substantially vertical position and moveable between the retracted position, an over-extended positon and an extended position located between the retracted and over-extended positions. The pivot arm is biased so as to prevent movement of the pivot arm into the over-extended position until exceeding a threshold weight applied to the pivot arm.
