Abstract:
1. A scroll-shaped hanger for resting on a mantle surface and for hanging an item from said scroll hanger, said item being of the type that is hung from mantles during a Christmas holiday, said scroll hanger comprising: an S-shaped scroll hanger having an upper open scroll loop and a lower open loop, said upper open scroll loop and said lower open loop connected by a linear elongated connecting part, said scroll hanger constructed of a material so that said scroll hanger is generally not flexible or resilient and does not change shape during use thereof when engaged with the mantle surface; said upper open scroll loop having a radius that is at least as large as a radius of said lower open loop, and said upper open scroll loop having an end that terminates in a partial loop that has a bottom shaped as an upwardly concave rocking surface that engages with a top of the mantle surface on which said scroll hanger rests, the bottom concave rocking surface having a sufficient area for resting said upper open scroll loop in a stable manner on the mantle surface so that said upper open scroll loop remains upright on the mantle surface when the item is suspended from said lower open loop; said connecting part allowing said scroll hanger to extend outwardly away from the edge of the mantle and rotate under a force of gravity according to the shape or thickness of the mantle; and said linear elongated connecting part separating said upper open scroll loop from said lower open loop is of sufficient length so that when said scroll hanger is lowered downwardly to engage the concave rocking surface with the mantle surface, the concave rocking surface of said partial loop allows the lower open loop to rock back and forth and self adjust to a position generally suspended under the concave rocking surface of said upper open scroll loop.
