Abstract
A hanger having a novel construction including an engagement member, a foldable body portion having an upper end with a pair of continuous locking openings, and a lower or tail end with a two prong locking member which engages the locking openings in a secured or closed position is disclosed. In one embodiment, the prongs of the locking member include a tapered head having a locking projection that engages a rear planar surface of the body portion, between the locking openings, in order to discourage removal of the locking member from the locking openings in use. The combination of these features allows the belt hanger to be readily assembled, tamper resistant after assembly, and aesthetically pleasing.
