Hanger

Abstract

An ornament hanger may include a three-dimensional ornament body including a hollow portion and a hole, and a grommet disposed in the hole, the grommet being configured to accommodate an external object into the hollow portion through the hole, and to exert a securing force on the external object to hold the ornament hanger in place on the external object.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An ornament hanger, comprising:
 a three-dimensional ornament body including a hollow portion and a hole; and   a grommet disposed in the hole, the grommet being configured to accommodate an external object into the hollow portion through the hole, and to exert a securing force on the external object to hold the ornament hanger in place on the external object.   
     
     
         2 . The ornament hanger of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of a width and a depth of the hole are determined based on a size of the ornament body. 
     
     
         3 . The ornament hanger of  claim 2 , wherein at least one of a width and a thickness of the grommet are determined based on at least one of the width and the depth of the hole. 
     
     
         4 . The ornament hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the grommet comprises an aperture to accommodate the external object. 
     
     
         5 . The ornament hanger of  claim 4 , wherein the aperture is substantially circular in shape. 
     
     
         6 . The ornament hanger of  claim 4 , wherein the aperture is star-shaped. 
     
     
         7 . The ornament hanger of  claim 4 , wherein the aperture comprises teeth to grip the external object. 
     
     
         8 . The ornament hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow portion comprises part of an interior volume of the ornament body. 
     
     
         9 . The ornament hanger of  claim 8 , wherein the hollow portion comprises substantially all of an interior volume of the ornament body. 
     
     
         10 . The ornament hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the securing force comprises at least one of an elastic force and friction between the grommet and the external object. 
     
     
         11 . An ornament hanger, comprising:
 a hollow body having a hole disposed therein; and   a grommet fitted into the hole and including an aperture configured to frictionally receive an object therethrough and into the hollow body.   
     
     
         12 . The ornament hanger of  claim 11 , where the grommet comprises:
 first and second ends having a width larger than a width of the hole; and   a middle portion disposed between the first and second ends, the middle portion having a width less than or equal to the width of the hole.
