ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved method and device for supporting a tool (16, 16A,16B,16C,16D,16E16F,16G or16H) or display item (16J) on the rim (17, 47A or87) of a container (18, 47, 87A or88), a support bracket (36), a support rod (45or45B, or a flat surface (9). The support (12, 12B,32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, or92) extends from the handle (13, 38, 43, 53, 63, 77, or83) of the tool or the joining leg (93) of the universal support hanger and has an aperture (16, 16B,16C,16D,16E,16F,16G,14H or16J) with a sloping line (14, 14B,14C,14D,14E,14F,14G,14H or14J). The sloping line creates a variable sized aperture. The internal surface of the variable sized aperture is in contact with the rim of the container, support bracket or upper support rod thereby securing the tool or universal support hanger in a predetermined position. Alternatively, increased gravitational friction between the sloping line in the aperture and the container, support bracket or support rod due to the center of gravity of the tool in relation to the aperture impedes unintentional dislodging of the tool.
