Abstract

All-purpose hanger comprising a hanging block and two S hooks; the hanging block comprises a front surface, two side surfaces, a rear surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, and a clamping port; the clamping port is at a forty-five-degree angle relative to the front and rear surfaces; the hanging block further comprises a plurality of S hook insertion holes and a threaded bolt that extends through the top surface and into the clamping port; one S hook insertion hole is located on the front surface and is at a forty-five-degree angle relative to the front surface; another S hook insertion hole is located on the rear surface and is at a forty-five-degree angle relative to the rear surface; two S hook insertion holes are located on each of the side surfaces; and the S hook insertion holes located on the front and rear surfaces exit from the bottom surface.

Claims

1. An all-purpose hanger comprising:

(a) a hanging block; and

(b) two S hooks;

wherein the hanging block comprises a front surface, two side surfaces, a rear surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, and a clamping port;

wherein the clamping port is at a forty-five-degree angle relative to the front and rear surfaces of the hanging block;

wherein the hanging block further comprises a threaded bolt that extends through the top surface of the hanging block and down into the clamping port;

wherein the hanging block further comprises a plurality of S hook insertion holes;

wherein one S hook insertion hole is located on the front surface of the hanging block and is at a forty-five-degree angle relative to the front surface;

wherein one S hook insertion hole is located on the rear surface of the hanging block and is at a forty-five-degree angle relative to the rear surface;

wherein two S hook insertion holes are located on each of the side surfaces of the hanging block; and

wherein the S hook insertion holes located on the front and rear surfaces of the hanging block exit from the bottom surface of the hanging block.

2. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein the two S hook insertion holes on either side surface of the hanging block are situated side-by-side with one of the S hook insertion holes closer to the front surface of the hanging block and the other S hook insertion hole closer to the rear surface of the hanging block.

3. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein the top surface of the hanging block comprises a first face, a second face, and a third face;

wherein the first face is at a forty-five-degree angle relative to the front surface;

wherein the second face is parallel to the bottom surface of the hanging block; and

wherein the third face is at a forty-five-degree angle relative to the rear surface of the hanging block.

4. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein the threaded bolt has an angle, and wherein the angle of the S hook insertion hole on the front surface of the hanging block is parallel to the angle of the threaded bolt and the angle of the third face of the top surface.

5. The all-purpose hanger of claim 4, wherein the clamping port comprises a wall, wherein the wall has an angle, and wherein the angle of the wall is parallel to the angle of the threaded bolt.

6. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein the clamping port has an angle, and wherein the S hook insertion hole on the rear surface of the hanging block is parallel to the angle of the clamping port and of the first face of the top surface of the hanging block.

7. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein the threaded bolt and clamping port each has an angle, and wherein the angle of the threaded bolt is perpendicular to the angle of the clamping port.

8. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein the clamping port comprises a ceiling and a floor, and wherein the floor of the clamping port comprises a V-shaped channel that runs from one side surface of the hanging block to the other side surface of the hanging block.

9. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein each S hook comprises a straight end and a curved end.

10. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein each S hook comprises a first end and a second end, and wherein each S hook comprises a tie hole located on either the first or second end of the S hook.

11. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein each S hook comprises a first end and a second end, and wherein each end of the S hook comprises a tie hole.

12. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein each S hook insertion hole comprises a chamfer to allow for easier insertion of the S hooks and to facilitate movement of the S hooks in the S hook insertion holes.

13. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein when an S hook is inserted into the S hook insertion holes of the hanging block, the S hook maintains a vertical position relative to the ground regardless of the position of the hanging block.

14. The all-purpose hanger of claim 1, wherein when an S hook is inserted into the S hook insertion holes of the hanging block and the hanging block is rotated by ninety degrees, the angle of the S hook relative to the ground does not change.
