Abstract

A hanger system for a container is described as comprising the combination of a container having side and bottom walls and a top wall including a dispensing outlet, wherein the bottom wall has a concave portion. A hanger attachment lug is located and fully contained within the concave portion of the bottom wall of the container, and the attachment lug includes a shaft portion which is substantially circular in cross-section and a retention flange extending outwardly from the distal end of the shaft portion. A detachable hanger member includes an attachment clip formed adjacent its lower portion adapted to engage the shaft portion of the attachment lug to detachably and rotatably attach the hanger member to the container. The hanger member includes an upper hook portion which extends upwardly from the attachment clip and is adapted to suspend the container in inverted condition. The hanger member is attachable to the attachment lug from any direction about the periphery of such lug, and, following attachment, is rotatable a full 360.degree. thereabout. The hanger system provides a versatile means of suspending a container in inverted condition from a variety of support structures without impeding conventional manufacturing, shipping and handling characteristics for such container.
