Abstract
Abstract A flexible hanger for hanging an electric lamp socket on a house eave trough, the latter having an upstanding generally vertical edge flange, a horizontal web extending laterally therefrom, and a second generally vertical flange depending from the web and spaced apart from the first flange. The flexible hanger consists of two arms which partially surround and resiliently clasp an electric lamp socket. A hanger hook extends from the arms and is adapted to overlie the web and two flanges of the eave trough. The hook includes an inward extension which locks under the eave trough second flange and serves to securely retain the hanger in place on the eave trough.
