The Holiday Light Looper is a device created to allow easy, hands-free, hanging and storage/removal of ornamental holiday string lights, by stringing lights around lower portion of “Looper.”

The ornamental “Holiday Light Looper” was invented in order to facilitate easy electric ornamental string light hanging. For example, one of the problems with current methods of hanging electric ornamental string lights is that both hands are not free to actually hang the lights.

One hand usually is being used to hold the string or ball of lights, which normally are tangled and unruly. This same problem arises when taking electric ornamental lights down from the house or tree(s). The Holiday Light Looper allows the person hanging the electric ornamental lights to have the use of both hands and keeps the lights from tangling during the hanging and removal process.

This invention (Holiday Light Looper) is a reverse fish-hook type handle that can be hung from a ladder rung, home gutters or even a trouser belt loop, with up to 200 electric ornamental lights looped around the lower end of the hook (FIG. 1.), making for quick, tangle-free and easy hanging and removing of string electric ornamental lights.

The Light Looper is made of strong Casting Resin (2390 psi Tensile Strength) (7990 psi Compression Strength) not susceptible to extreme variations in cold or hot weather. The Light Looper is a single, solid plastic, unit that can easily be handled as strings of electric ornamental lights are hung and removed from house, Christmas tree (in-door or outside) or lawn bushes and trees.

This invention is for anyone who hangs electric ornamental lights inside the house or on the exterior of the home. While there are other methods of hanging ornamental lights, the Light Looper allows for hands-free hanging insomuch as the “Looper” hangs from either a ladder, gutter or even trouser belt loops (FIG. 5) and allows the person to have both hands free to attached the string to the house or tree.

This is a very simple and inexpensive method for hanging and taking down ornamental lights. The lights are simply looped back onto the “Looper” when it is time to take them down. The Light Looper is a tangle-free method of hanging, removing and storing string electric ornamental lights.

This is an innovative simple design solution for easy hanging, removing and storing ornamental string lights. It is a safer way to hang ornamental lights as it frees up both hands, rather than one hand being used to hold the bunch of string lights that may, for example, be wound on a reel or piece of wood.

FIG. 1 encompasses entire drawing of Light Looper. There is a reverse curved top “hook portion.” (FIG. 2) for hanging, a straight extended portion—approximately 12 inches (FIG. 4) and a curved bottom light string support portion—extending upward approximately 6 inches (FIG. 3). Each of these portions make up one solid piece, measuring approximately one foot (top of reverse hook to bottom hook).

• • This is a device for facilitating the hanging of a string of ornamental electrical lights on a house, tree or the like, said device comprising: a first top reverse hooked portion shaped to engage a rung of a ladder, said first hooked portion having a distal end that extends a distance at least as long as the thickness of the rung, a light string support portion shaped to support a string of electric ornamental lights, said light string support portion (lower hook) having a U-shape, and an extendable portion connecting said first top hooked portion to said light string support portion (upper hook).
