Each card is symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the support hole, and has parallel pairs of wings with slots between them for supporting ties. The lower wings are wider than the upper wings to facilitate insertion and removal of ties, and the hanger bar has an I-shaped cross-section and an openable end. A pair of protuberances extends into the support hole to frictionally engage the sides of the hanger bar, so as to prevent the card from sliding along the bar and bunching up with other cards. | |
