Drop over hanger for placement over an upright piece of 2" by 4" lumber to support another like hanger or another type of support, by utilizing interfitting sets of four originally upstanding spaced top entry projecting slotted tabs
First Claim
1. A drop over hanger for placement over an upright piece of 2" by 4" lumber to support another reoriented like hanger, or another type of support, by utilizing integral interfitting sets of four originally upstanding spaced top entry projecting slotted tabs, comprising an integral U shaped body, having:
- a) an integral transverse planar spacing and interconnecting rectangular portion having two longitudinal edges sized to extend over and slightly beyond the top of a portion of an upstanding piece of 2" by 4" lumber;
b) two spaced extending planar rectangular portions, each one integrally extending at a right angle from a respective longitudinal edge of the integral transverse planar spacing and interconnecting rectangular portion, and each one sized to extend adjacently substantially along the 4" depth side of an upstanding piece of 2" by 4" lumber; and
c) two sets of four originally upstanding spaced top entry projecting slotted tabs, each set being integrally formed with one of the two spaced extending planar rectangular portions, when they, with the integral transverse planar spacing and interconnecting rectangular portion, comprise the integral U shaped body, which serves as a drop over hanger.

Abstract
When a piece of an upright 2" by 4" lumber is used as a cross member of a sawhorse, staging, or scaffolding, a drop over hanger is removably lowered down over the upright piece of 2" by 4" lumber. Thereafter, on opposite sides of the 2" by 4" lumber, this drop over hanger positions its integral respective two sets of four originally upstanding spaced top entry projecting slotted tabs, one set being on each side of the 2" by 4" lumber. When a like second drop over hanger, oriented upside down and rotated ninety degrees to the first one, is manipulated to interfit with a set of four originally upstanding spaced top entry projecting slotted tabs, but now facing downwardly, to a like set of the first drop over hanger, then this second drop over hanger is positioned to support another piece of 2" by 4" lumber at right angles to the first piece of 2" by 4" lumber. Also other types of supports, such as Vee shaped multiple wider sized board supports, are equipped with an integral like set of four spaced depending then bottom entry projecting slotted tabs for interconnection with the four upstanding top entry slotted tabs of the first drop over hanger. Thereafter this combination positions the Vee shaped multiple wider sized board support to receive an end or near end portion of a wider board, the other end of which is supported by another combination of a like drop over hanger and a like Vee shaped multiple wider sized board support.
