Abstract
A suspension assembly (14) comprises first and second suspension members (10, 12). The suspension assembly (14) further includes a pivot member (24) on which the first and second suspension members (10, 12) are pivotally mounted. Each of the first and second suspension members (10,12) defines clamping recess (30) for receiving an article (16). Each of the first and second suspension members (10, 12) also defines an elongate aperture (28) for effecting pivoting movement of at least one of the first and second suspension members (10, 12) to clamp the article in the clamping recesses (30).
Claims19
A suspension assembly comprising:
- first and second suspension members extending across each other;
- and
- a pivot member on which the first and second suspension members are pivotally mounted;
- each of the first and second suspension members defining a clamping recess;
- the first suspension member defining a first elongate aperture, and the second suspension members defining a second elongate aperture, each of said first and second elongate apertures being provided to effect pivoting movement of at least one of the first and second suspension members to clamp an article in the clamping recesses;
- each elongate aperture having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end being closest to the pivot member;
- and
- wherein the second suspension member defines an opening at the proximal end of the second elongate aperture, the opening allowing at least a portion of an elongate member to enter the second elongate aperture, the second suspension member comprising first and second opposite faces and an edge extending from the first face to the second face, wherein the second aperture extends from the first face to the second face, and the opening extends from the edge to the aperture.
A support assembly comprising:
- a suspension assembly comprising first and second suspension members extending across each other, and a pivot member on which the first and second suspension members are pivotally mounted;
- each of the first and second suspension members defining a clamping recess for receiving an article;
- the first suspension member defining a first elongate aperture and the second suspension member defining a second elongate aperture, each of said first and second elongate apertures being provided to effect pivoting movement of at least one of the first and second suspension members to clamp the article in the clamping recesses;
- each elongate aperture having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end being closest to the pivot member;
- and
- the support assembly further including an elongate member extending through the first elongate aperture;
- wherein the second suspension member defines an opening at the proximal end of the second elongate aperture, the opening allowing at least a portion of the elongate member to enter the second elongate aperture, the second suspension member comprising first and second opposite faces and an edge extending from the first face to the second face, wherein the second aperture extends from the first face to the second face, and the opening extends from the edge to the aperture.
