Patent ID: 7275727

Claim:
A hanger for removably connecting a plurality of objects, comprising: (a) a loop fabricated of an elastomeric material and having opposite first and second ends; and (b) a selectively engageable connection between the first and second ends of the loop to enable the loop to be selectively closed by engaging the first end with the second end to connect the plurality of objects such that the plurality of objects can move unimpeded around the loop between the first end of the loop and the second end of the loop, and to be selectively opened by disengaging the first end from the second end to remove an object from the loop, wherein the selectively engageable connection comprises an eye formed on the first end of the loop and a latch formed proximate to the second end of the loop, wherein the latch comprises a short segment of the loop that forms a substantial angle relative to a remainder of the second end.
