Abstract
A hanging device for suspending one or more implements which have either elongated generally straight handles or body portions. The device includes one or a plurality of rings or annular members each having a central open area. Each ring is attached to one end of a length of flexible cord, string, cable and the like at a peripheral point of each ring. Each ring, when the other end of each cord is attached to an overhead support, will hang downwardly edgewise when not in use. An implement may be suspended for above ground or floor surface storage in a generally upright, freely swingable fashion by first passing the handle or body portion into the central open area of one ring, the central open area being somewhat larger than a diameter or thickness of the handle or body portion. By then allowing the handle or body portion to simply move by gravity into a generally upright orientation, the ring automatically moves into a canted position with respect to the handle or body portion and frictionally or penetratingly engages to hold and suspend the implement.
