1. A device for hanging articles over a tensioned horizontal wire, comprising:
a wire coupling part including:
a hook portion that flexibly couples the device over the tensioned horizontal wire; and
a pivotable clip that is pivotably hinged to bottom of a load bearing part and the hook portion couples or aligns with the pivotable clip and forms an enclosure of the wire coupling part when aligned with the pivotable clip,
where the wire coupling part flexibly allows movement of the device along the tensioned horizontal wire in both horizontal directions; and
the load bearing part including a groove to hang an article in the device; and
wherein, the device with the closed enclosure when applied with a downward force of the applied load of the article, resists forces in both horizontal directions over the tensioned horizontal wire and resists unwanted torque that is imposed by the applied load of the article on the device; and
wherein, to reposition the device over the tensioned horizontal wire, the article is taken off, which takes off the downward force of the applied load, and the pivotable clip is misaligned with the hook portion to open the enclosure of the wire coupling part, and the device is shifted to another position over the tensioned horizontal wire, without completely disengaging the device from the tensioned horizontal wire.
