Abstract
An apparatus for suspending articles from a surface is disclosed having a head portion and three arm members extending outwardly from one side of the head portion, arranged at an angle with respect to the head portion and having a triangular configuration. An article to be suspended is hung from the first arm member and extends between the second and third arm members which restrict the articles transverse movement. Both the first and third arm members are bent near their distal ends to restrict the articles movement in a longitudinal direction with respect to the arm members. The first arm member is also provided with an extension beyond the second and third arm members to allow for easy replacement of an article.
