Suspension assembly

A suspension assembly comprising:

• a support member for supporting an item;
• an elongate suspension article defining a securing opening;
• a securing device on the support member;
• the support member defining an aperture through which the suspension article can be inserted;
• wherein the securing device has a securing member;
• the securing member being movable across the aperture between a securing position and a non-securing position, the securing member being receivable through the securing opening in the suspension article to secure the support member to the suspension article when the suspension article is received through the aperture and the securing member is in the securing position;
• wherein the securing device comprises an attaching arrangement for attaching the securing device to the support member;
• the attaching arrangement comprising a housing in which the securing member is housed, the housing having an external wall arrangement, and the housing further including an internal arrangement within the external wall arrangement;
• wherein the external wall arrangement comprises a central wall portion, and the internal arrangement comprises a first internal portion and a second internal portion;
• wherein the central wall portion defines a central aperture, and the first and second internal portions define a gap therebetween, the central aperture and the gap being aligned with each other,
• whereby when the securing member is in the securing position, the securing member extends across the central aperture.

A suspension assembly comprising:

• a support member for supporting an item;
• an elongate suspension article defining a securing opening;
• a securing device on the support member;
• the support member defining two apertures through which the suspension article can be inserted;
• wherein the securing device has first and second securing members arranged transverse to each other;
• the securing members being movable across the aperture between respective securing and non-securing positions, the securing members being receivable through the securing opening in the suspension article to secure the support member to the suspension article when the suspension article is received through one of the aperture and the securing members are in the securing positions.

A suspension assembly comprising:
