This invention provides a combination clip and hook (clip) for use generally in suspending articles having shoulder or hand straps, or carrying other accessories, such as keys, which is rotatably movable about a rotary joint between a first position in which two opposing, rotatably joined portions of the overall clip structure are oriented together to form a continuous, enclosed shape that can be secured around another strap or loop on an item or piece of clothing, and a second position in which the two portions of the structure are rotated out of the enclosed shape, and into, for example, a substantially S-shaped hook in which one portion of the structure supports the strap of the item and the other portion can be applied to a clothing hook, chair back, table surface, door top, or other supporting member. The joint between the two portions can define a spring-loaded rotating pivot assembly with at least two indexing positions that are opposed by 180 degrees thereby defining the enclosed orientation and hook orientation, respectively. The rotary joint can be constructed with a pair of confronting male and female wedge and detent inserts that are normally biased toward each other by an embedded spring assembly. The spring assembly can comprise a series of Belleville washers arranged in a stack about a pivot shaft.
