ABSTRACT:
A hanging device for hanging an object, e.g., a Christmas tree ornament, is presented. The device comprises a locking portion having an end, and a coil spiraling around the end in continuously increasing radii. The device also has an object supporting portion integrally connected to the locking portion opposite the end. As more weight is applied to the device, the coil tends to unwind and tighten around the support member that the device hangs on. Preferably the coil is sized to receive the support member, biasing the support member between successive sections of the coil thereby locking the device on the member. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the device is composed of a resilient material, e.g., spring steel wire, to increase the grip of the coil as it unwinds and to help prevent deformation of the device.
