1. A hose hanging device for supporting an air hose above the floor of a paint room of the type that includes at least one wall that presents a surface fashioned from a material that has magnetic properties suitable for attracting magnets, the hose hanging device comprising:
(a) a hose clamp collar that is clamped around an air hose,
(b) a wall mount unit that includes an upright flange and a horizontal flange, the upright flange including at least one magnet suitable for fixing the wall mount unit to the at least one wall, the horizontal flange, having a top surface, a lower surface and an outboard surface, the horizontal flange presenting a recess that extends through the horizontal flange to define a channel that extends from the top surface to the bottom surface of the horizontal flange, the horizontal flange also presenting slot that communicates between outboard surface and the channel, the slot being suitable for receiving an air hose and the recess also being suitably shaped for receiving the clamp collar,
(c) at least one magnet mounted in one of the hose clamp collar or the horizontal flange of the wall mount unit and at least one corresponding magnet or portion of magnetic material mounted in the other of the hose clamp collar or the horizontal flange of the wall mount unit for providing a magnetic attractive force between the hose clamp collar and the horizontal flange of the wall mount unit thereby securing the hose clamp collar to the wall mount unit, whereby an operator is able to slide the air hose into the slot and then drop the hose clamp collar into the recess in order to securely hang the air hose in a position above a paint room floor.
