ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to devices for hanging articles and more specifically devices for hanging a series of related articles.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Devices for hanging multiple articles, such as graduated measuring cups or spoons, generally comprise an circular ring which can be opened. The articles usually have an opening in the handles through which the circular ring passes and the ring is then closed with the articles thereon. Once the articles are placed on the circular ring, and the circular ring is closed, it can be hung on a hook with the multiple articles suspended therefrom.
Since the circular hanger does not have a flat bottom and the articles are usually of varying length, the articles are often hanging spread apart from one another.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a hanger for suspending a plurality of graduated measuring devices comprising a first section having an engaging member from which the hanger is supported, a stop member for limiting movement of the measuring devices off of the elongated member wherein said stop is located at an end of the hanger opposite the first section and the elongated member operatively extends between the stop and the first section, further wherein the hanger is rigidly formed.
Preferably, the stop is substantially parallel to the first section with the elongated member extending at an angle therebetween. The angle preferably corresponds to the variation in sizes of a series of graduated devices.
