Abstract:
1. A device removably attachable to a vertical rod-like structure to hang an article onto said rod-like structure, said device comprising: a) a main body of a given height and a given width, said body having: b) a U-shaped bracket having a pair of opposite side arms projecting from a transverse bar, said bracket being sized to fit onto said rod-like structure and have portions of its opposite side arms respectively positioned on the opposite side walls of the upper portion of the main body, said portions of the opposite side arms being each provided with a plurality of transversal holes extending at different distances from the transverse bar, the holes of one of said opposite side arms being in line with those of the other one of said opposite side arms; and c) at least one pivot pin for connecting said U-shaped bracket to said main body, said at least one pivot pin being insertable into the corresponding holes of the opposite side arms of the bracket and into said at least one transversal hole of the upper portion of the main body after the bracket has been fit onto the rod-like structure and the main body has been positioned adjacent to said rod-like structure in a position opposite to said bracket; whereby, after insertion of said at least one pivot pin, the main body and bracket altogether surround the rod-like structure, and the article that is then hung to the upper portion of the main body generates a cantilever action that presses the rear side portion of said main body against the rod-like structure and cause said device to lock onto said rod-like structure and hang the article onto said rod-like structure at any desired height where is positioned the device, wherein the rear side portion of the main body is of a concave cross-section all over the height of said main body and is carved in a stepwise manner in order to receive and fit onto rod-like structures of different sizes and cross-sections.
