Abstract
A device and method for holding a container in an inverted position to assist in dispensing the contents of the container. A bracket and retaining band are doubled along the length of the container. The retaining band holds the bracket into abutment with the container. The bracket has a mounting portion or mechanism that allows the bracket to be hung from or mounted to a supporting structure. The bracket also includes a portion towards the opposite end of the bracket which stabilizes the bracket along the side of the container to resist rotation of the hook. The bracket and retaining band allow suspension of the container in an inverted position for easier dispension of the contents of the container.
