ABSTRACT:
The article hanger is formed of a wire or rod and is configured for removable attachment to parallel posts, such as the posts supporting an adjustable height headrest above the seatback of an automobile. Each end of the device includes a multiple element clip attachable about the corresponding headrest support post, with the multiple elements precluding angular deflection of the remainder of the device and firmly attaching it to the posts. An arm extends from each attachment clip, with a spring coil loop formed in each arm to allow the two clips to be deflected for installation and removal. An article support hook is formed medially in the wire or rod, between the two spring coils. The device may be coated with a resilient or nonabrasive material to preclude metal-to-metal contact between the device and the headrest support rods, and/or other metal components.
