ABSTRACT:
A combination clip and hanger is used to suspend articles from walls, especially fabric-covered soft-core partitions. In one embodiment, the clip-hanger is formed of a single strand of stiff but bendable wire. The wire defines three components of the hanger, namely, a clip, a hook, and a prong. The clip is formed by two or more segments of wire, oriented in a generally longitudinal direction, and located in approximately the same plane. The hook is a generally transverse loop of wire, connecting two of the clip-forming segments, and protruding from the plane of the clip. One or both of the free ends of the wire can be formed into a prong. In another embodiment, the wire is inserted through a generally flat backer. The backer tends to prevent injury due to the prong; it also tends to protect the fabric of the partition. When the clip-hanger of either embodiment is inserted into a fabric-covered partition, the prong separates the fibers of the fabric, generally without piercing the fibers. The prong also does not penetrate far, if at all, into the core of the partition. The clip-hanger grips the fabric over a relatively large area. The clip-hanger can be used to clip articles, such as papers, to the partition, without piercing or otherwise damaging the papers. It can also be used to hang pictures, or similar objects, from a partition, by suspending the picture wire from the hook of the clip-hanger.
