The purse hook of claim 1, wherein said hook member has a hook size and shape such that said inner peripheral side surface of said hook member is adjacent to said housing peripheral surface when said hook member is in the housed position, and said inner peripheral side surface is positioned a distance away from said housing peripheral surface when in the use position. 8. The purse hook of claim 1, wherein said hook member comprises (i) a first hook member end having a hook end tip, and (ii) a second hook member end connected to said purse hook housing via said single connecting member, and an inner peripheral side tip surface of said hook end tip is adjacent to said housing peripheral surface when said hook member is in the housed position, and said inner peripheral side tip surface of said hook end tip is positioned a distance away from said housing peripheral surface when in the use position. 9. The purse hook of claim 1, wherein said housing peripheral surface extends along first and second housing peripheral surface portions and on opposite sides of said hook housing, said inner peripheral side surface of said hook member is adjacent to and extends along one of said first and second housing peripheral surface portions and, and said first and second housing peripheral surface portions and of said hook housing are substantially parallel with one another. 10. The purse hook of claim 1, wherein said hook member comprising (i) a first hook member end that extends beyond said housing peripheral surface of said purse hook housing when said hook member is in the housed position, and (ii) a second hook member end connected to said purse hook housing. 11. The purse hook of claim 1, wherein said hook member has (i) a first hook member end comprising two hook components extending in opposite directions towards outer edges of said purse hook housing from a centrally located hook connecting component, said centrally located hook connecting component extending to (ii) a second hook member end connected to said purse hook housing via said single connecting member. 12. The purse hook of claim 1, wherein said purse hook further comprises a track system sized to attach to an underside of a table, said track system enabling said purse hook housing to move towards or away from an outer edge of the table by applying a moving force onto said purse hook housing. 13. A purse hook comprising: (I) a purse hook housing comprising: (1) a housing front surface, a housing rear surface opposite said housing front surface, and a housing peripheral surface connecting said housing front surface to said housing rear surface, at least a portion of said housing peripheral surface representing an overall housing thickness tphh of said purse hook housing; and(2) a hook channel extending within said housing front surface, said hook channel having (i) a channel depth dhc that is equal to or less than said overall housing thickness tphh of said purse hook housing, and (ii) a channel shape;(II) a hook member attached to said purse hook housing, said hook member having a hook size and shape so as to enable said hook member to move from (a) a housed position in which an inner peripheral side surface of said hook member is adjacent to at least one of: (1) said housing peripheral surface and (2) an outwardly-facing channel wall of said hook channel to (b) a use position in which said inner peripheral side surface of said hook member is not adjacent to and is positioned a distance away from at least one of: (1) said housing peripheral surface and (2) said outwardly-facing channel wall; and(III) a single tensioning device that applies a housing force onto said hook member so as to keep said hook member within said hook channel, in the use position, until an outside force moves said hook member out of the use position, wherein said single tensioning device comprises a spring, and a first end of said spring is positioned within a first groove that extends within said housing rear surface of said purse hook housing, and a second end of said spring is either (i) positioned within a hole drilled into an end wall of said hook member, or (ii) positioned within a second groove that extends within said housing rear surface of said purse hook housing, said second groove being on an opposite side of said hook member from said first groove. 14.
