Abstract
A hanger for use in a conveyorized system for transporting limp sheet material, has a gripper, for relesably holding a unit of work material to the holder, including a sliding and rotatable circular wedge element cooperating with a fixed gripping surface, whereby both sides of the gripped work unit are engaged along straight lines to produce a strong and distributed holding effect on the work unit resisting downward displacement of the work unit from the hanger while nevertheless allowing the work unit to be pulled sideways from the holder with a relatively small force.
