Abstract
A snap on type hanger useful for suspension of articles from an elevated or overhead support includes a resilient clamp having a slidable control member the operator element of which embodies a suspension device. In the embodiment illustrated the clamp is a generally U-shaped element the leg portions of which are biased to provide that they are normally slightly convergent from their base to their projected extremities. The latter are cupped to provide anchor means facilitating their gripping opposite edge portions of a base support. The leg portions are threaded through parallel slots or apertures in a transversely disposed plate which provides the slidable control member. The transversely disposed plate is slidable between detented positions flexing the leg portions of the U-shaped element to open and close the clamp.
