Abstract

An apparatus for suspending articles from a surface is disclosed having a head portion and one arm member extending outwardly from one side of the head portion, arranged at an angle with respect to the head portion and haivng at least two spaced apart detents near a free distal end. An article to be suspended is hung from the arm member. The detents are in the form of bends in the arm and serve to restrict the article's movement in a longitudinal direction with respect to the arm member. The articles are held at the more proximal second detent, thereby leaving the more distal first detent open to allow for easy replacement of an article.
