Description
BACKGROUND
Field of the Invention

The invention relates to decorative ornament hanging systems; and more particularly, to an ornament hanging system for hanging ornaments on trees and structures at a height significantly above unassisted human reach.


Description of the Related Art

Numerous ornament-hanging systems have been described in a crowded field of prior art.


An exemplary disclosure of conventional ornament hanging systems can be appreciated from a review of U.S. Pat. No. 5,553,905, issued Sep. 10, 1996 to Bentivegna, hereinafter “Bentivegna”; the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.


While Bentivegna provides a useful system for hanging ornaments, particularly on trees and structures at a height significantly above unassisted human reach, there remain certain problems and disadvantages requiring improvement.


For example, the conventional ornament hook, as shown in FIGS. 16(a-c) of Bentivegna, is difficult to orient during hanging when using a conventional hanging apparatus such as that disclosed in Bentivegna. More specifically, with the conventional ornament hook positioned on the Bentivegna hanging apparatus, the conventional ornament hook is difficult to position such that the hook might engage a tree branch or other structure for ornament hanging. In fact, the Bentivegna hanging apparatus, and similar poles, actually obstruct the hanging hook and render the process of ornament hanging unduly complicated and inefficient.


These, and other problems as appreciated by one having skill in the art, are solved by the improved ornament hanging system as disclosed herein.


SUMMARY

An improved ornament-hanging system includes an ornament-hanging apparatus and one or more ornament-hanging hooks, wherein each of the one or more ornament-hanging hooks comprises an ornament-engaging loop, a first engagement-element for engaging a tree branch or other hanging structure, and a second engagement element disposed between the ornament-engaging loop and the first engagement-element for contact with the ornament-hanging apparatus during hanging. The second engagement-element comprises second bend having a plurality of flections, wherein a portion of the second bend forms a fulcrum, wherein upon engagement with the ornament-hanging apparatus at the fulcrum the ornament attached at the ornament-engaging loop is balanced gravitationally such that the first-engagement element is positioned upright and in an unobstructed manner. Thus, with the ornament-hanging hook as disclosed herein, a user may lift the ornament and engaged ornament-hanging hook upwardly, using the ornament-hanging apparatus, without obstruction to the first engagement for attaching the first engagement-element to a tree branch or other hanging structure.


In one aspect, the invention is provided as an ornament-hanging hook with novel features and benefits as disclosed herein.


In another aspect, the invention is provided as an ornament hanging system that includes an ornament-hanging apparatus and one or a plurality of the ornament-hanging hooks, the system configured for hanging decorative ornaments, particularly on trees and structures at a height significantly above unassisted human reach.
