BACKGROUND  
       [0001]     The invention relates to clip hanger.  
         [0002]     Partitions are commonly used to divide space in offices. Workers usually hang their coats or briefcases on partitions utilizing hangers.  
         [0003]     Conventional hangers, such as S-shaped hangers, adhesive hangers, and stationary hangers, are not capable of hanging on partitions of various thickness and shape. Thus, an improved hanger is desirable.  
       SUMMARY  
       [0004]     Clip hangers are provided.  
         [0005]     An exemplary embodiment of a clip hanger comprises a body and two clip components. The body comprises a hook structure. The clip components are rotatably connected with the body. When the body applies a force on the clip components, the clip components and the body clip an object at three points.  
         [0006]     Another exemplary embodiment of a clip hanger comprises a body, a clip component, and an elastic component. The body comprises a hook structure. The elastic component is connected between the body and the clip component for applying a force on the clip component.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
       [0016]     Clip hangers will be described in greater detail in the following.  
         [0017]     A principle aim of the invention is to create clip hangers capable of hanging on partitions of various thickness and shape, by using the resilience of elastic components.  
         [0018]      FIG. 1   a  is a diagram of an embodiment of a clip hanger  100 .  FIG. 1   b  is an exploded view of the clip hanger  100 .  
         [0019]     As shown in  FIG. 1   a,  the clip hanger  100  is substantially rectilinear-shaped when not in use.  
         [0020]     The clip hanger  100  comprises a body  101 , two clip components  102 , and two elastic components  106 . Each clip component  102  can rotate relative to the body  101 .  
         [0021]     The body  101  comprises an upper cover  103  and an under cover  104 . The under cover  104  comprises a hook structure  105  and two first salients  107 .  
         [0022]     Each clip component  102  comprises a first end  108  and a second end  109 . Each first end  108  comprises a second salient  110 .  
         [0023]     The elastic components  106  are torsion springs, and each elastic component  106  is connected between corresponding first and second salients  107  and  110  respectively.  
         [0024]      FIG. 2   a  is a schematic diagram showing that a user  200  hanging the clip hanger  100  on a partition  201 .  FIG. 2   b  is a schematic diagram showing the clip hanger  100  hanging on the partition  201 .  
         [0025]     Before hanging the clip hanger  100  on the partition  201 , the user  200  rotates the clip components  102  in the arrow direction  300  to appropriately adjust a space  202  formed between the second ends  109  and the body  101  according to the thickness and shape of the partition  201 . Meanwhile, the two elastic components  106 , as shown in  FIG. 1   b,  are twisted, changing shape, thus, resilience is generated.  
         [0026]     The user  200  then hangs the clip hanger  100  on the partition  201  and releases the clip hanger  100 . Meanwhile, the resilience generated by the two elastic components  106  is applied on the first ends  108 , as shown in  FIG. 1   b.  Thus, the body  101  moves in the direction shown by arrow  301 . Furthermore, an object  601  is hung on the hook structure  105 , and the object  601  and the partition  201  are substantially in a parallel condition, as shown in  FIG. 2   c.    
         [0027]     Finally, as shown in  FIG. 2   b,  the second ends  109  and the body  101  tightly clamp the partition  201  at three points by the space  202  formed therebetween. Meanwhile, the clip hanger  100  is substantially V-shaped.  
         [0028]      FIG. 3   a  is a diagram of another embodiment of a clip hanger  400 .  
         [0029]     The clip hanger  400  comprises a body  401 , a clip component  402 , and a tensile elastic component  406 .  
         [0030]     The body  401  comprises a hook structure  405 .  
         [0031]     The elastic component  406  is a tensile spring, connected between the body  401  and the clip component  402  for applying a force on the clip component  402 .  
         [0032]     As shown in  FIG. 3   a,  when the clip hanger  400  is not in use, the force generated by the tensile elastic component  406  forces the clip component  402  to move in a direction toward the body  401  to close the clip component  402  and the body  401 .  
         [0033]      FIG. 3   b  is a schematic diagram showing the clip hanger  400  hanging on a partition  501 .  
         [0034]     Before hanging the clip hanger  400  on the partition  501 , the user pulls the clip component  402  away from the body  401  to appropriately adjust a space  502  formed between the clip component  402  and the body  401  according to the thickness and shape of the partition  501 . Meanwhile, the tensile elastic component  406  is stretched and changes shape.  
         [0035]     As shown in  FIG. 3   b,  when the clip hanger  400  hangs on the partition  501 , resilience generated by the tensile elastic component  406  is applied on the clip component  402 , and the clip component  402  and the body  401  clamp the partition  501  tightly by the space  502  formed therebetween. Furthermore, an object  701  is hung on the hook structure  405 , and the object  701  and the partition  201  are substantially in a parallel condition, as shown in  FIG. 3   c.    
         [0036]     The clip hanger of the invention is capable of hanging on partitions of various thickness and shape and provides obvious advantages over conventional hangers such as S-shaped hangers, adhesive hangers, and stationary hangers.  
         [0037]     While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of several embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
