In some embodiments, an apparatus includes an inner support member having an outer surface and an outer support member rotatably coupled to the inner support member and having an inner surface configured to matingly engage the outer surface of the inner support member. One of the outer surface of the inner support member and the inner surface of the outer support member defines a concave surface and the other defines a convex surface. The outer support member and the inner support member are collectively configured to be releasably coupled to an edge of an object having a substantially horizontal surface. A capture region is defined by at least one of the outer support member or the inner support member and is configured to receive a portion of an article such that the article can be suspended from the object when the inner and the outer support members are coupled thereto.

1. An apparatus, comprising: an inner support member having an outer surface; andan outer support member rotatably coupled to the inner support member and having an inner surface configured to matingly engage the outer surface of the inner support member,one of the outer surface of the inner support member and the inner surface of the outer support member defining a concave surface, the other of the one of the outer surface of the inner support member and the inner surface of the outer support member defining a convex surface, the outer support member and the inner support member collectively configured to be releasably coupled to an edge of an object having a substantially horizontal surface,the outer surface of the inner support member defining a concave surface, the inner surface of the outer support member defining a convex surface, the outer support member and the inner support member collectively configured to be releasably coupled to an edge of an object having a substantially horizontal surface,at least the outer support member defining a capture region configured to receive a portion of an article such that the article can be suspended from the object when the inner support member and the outer support member are coupled thereto. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the inner support member defines a notch on an inner surface configured to engage a corner of the edge of the object when the inner support member and the outer support member are coupled thereto. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the inner support member includes a substantially planar portion on an inner surface configured to engage at least a top surface of the object when the inner support member and the outer support member are coupled thereto. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the capture region is defined collectively by the outer support member and the inner support member. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the inner support member and the outer support member are concentric. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the inner support member and the outer support member are movable between a first configuration in which an opening defined by the inner support member at least partially aligns with an opening defined by the outer support member such that a portion of the article can be received therethrough and a second configuration in which the opening of the inner support member and the opening of the outer support member are misaligned. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the capture region is defined between the outer surface of the inner support member and the inner surface of the outer support member. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the outer support member includes a protruding portion, the capture region being defined at least in part by the protruding portion. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the inner support member and the outer support member are movable between a first configuration in which the inner support member and the outer support member define an opening configured to receive the edge of the object, and a second configuration in which the inner support member and the outer support member collectively define a closed interior region. 10. An apparatus, comprising: an inner support member; andan outer support member rotatably coupled to the inner support member, at least the outer support member defines a capture region configured to receive a portion of an article,the inner support member and the outer support member being concentric and collectively defining an opening configured to receive a portion of an edge of an object having a substantially horizontal surface therethrough such that a portion of the inner support member contacts the object and a portion of the outer support member contacts the object to couple the inner support member and the outer support member to the object and such that the article can be suspended from the object when the portion of the article is disposed within the capture region; andwherein the inner support member defines a notch configured to engage a corner of the edge of the object when the inner support member and the outer support member are coupled thereto, the notch comprising a first surface and a second surface where the first surface of the notch is substantially co-planar with a surface of the inner support member configured to contact the substantially horizontal surface of the object and the second surface of the notch is substantially perpendicular to the first surface. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the inner support member and the outer support member are radially disposed relative to each other. 12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein one of an outer surface of the inner support member and an inner surface of the outer support member defines a concave surface and the other of the one of the outer surface of the inner support member and the inner surface of the outer support member defines a convex inner surface configured to matingly engage the concave surface. 13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the capture region is defined between an outer surface of the inner support member and an inner surface of the outer support member. 14. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the outer support member includes a radially protruding portion, the capture region being defined at least in part by the protruding portion. 15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the inner support member and the outer support member are movable between a first configuration in which the inner support member and the outer support member define the opening and a second configuration in which the inner support member and the outer support member collectively define a closed interior region. 16. An apparatus, comprising: an inner support member; andan outer support member rotatably coupled to the inner support member, at least the outer support member defines a capture region configured to receive a portion of an article, the inner support member and the outer support member collectively having a first configuration in which the inner support member and the outer support member collectively define an opening configured to receive an edge of an object having a substantially horizontal surface to couple the inner support member and the outer support member collectively to the edge of the object such that the article can be suspended from the object when the portion of the article is disposed within the capture region,the inner support member and the outer support member having a second configuration in which the inner support member and the outer support member define a closed interior region, the inner support member and the outer support member being concentric in both the first configuration and the second configuration; andwherein the capture region is defined between an outer surface of the inner support member and an inner surface of the outer support member. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the inner support member and the outer support member are radially disposed relative to each other. 18. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein one of an outer surface of the inner support member and an inner surface of the outer support member defines a concave surface and the other of the one of the outer surface of the inner support member and the inner surface of the outer support member defines a convex inner surface configured to matingly engage the concave surface. 19. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein an inner surface of the inner support member defines a notch configured to engage a corner of the edge of the object when the inner support member and the outer support member are coupled thereto. 20.
