Abstract
A hanger of molded plastic body construction has an integral hook anchor for an auxiliary hanger depending from the body of the hanger below and in vertical alignment with the hanger's support hook. The hook anchor has an internal chamber defined by front, back and bottom walls. The chamber is open at both ends and has a height substantially greater than the material thickness of the auxiliary hook to be secured in it. One of the front or rear walls has a horizontal slot providing access to the chamber for the hook of the auxiliary hanger. The slot is spaced above the bottom of the chamber to create a retaining lip for a hook seated in the chamber. In addition, means are provided to restrain the hook from leaving the chamber unless the removal is intentional and forcible.
