Abstract
Abstract An adjustable hanging device for hanging plants and the like having a cord with a hook at its upper end for suspending same, the cord extending downwardly through a bore at one end of a bar and returning upwardly to terminate at a second bore at the other end of the bar with a second hook positioned at the bend of the cord. An object suspended on the second hook such as a plant causes the bar to tilt downwardly and the cord to become crimped at the bar and thereby lock the cord in position. Upon pushing upwardly on the lower end of the tilted bar to a horizontal position by means of a pole, the position of the bar frees the cord and permits the height adjustment of the device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
An adjustable hanging device comprising a substantially elongated member having end portions, a bore extending through said elongated member at each of said end portions, a pliable member of desired length having a free end, said pliable member extending through one of said bores to beyond said elongated member and returning to extend through the other of said bores, means securing said free end of said pliable member preventing the sliding of said pliable member through said other of said bores and peripheral groove means mounted about said elongated member in closer proximity to said other of said bores for engagement by a pole for positioning said elongated member in a substantially horizontal position whereby said pliable member extending through said one of said bores is free to slide therethrough.
