Abstract

A suspension device formed from an integral piece of material adapted to engage and support a product during processing and a method of manufacture. The suspension device includes a substantially flat plate member lying substantially in a first plane, a hook or support member and a plurality of tine members. The hook or support member extends integrally from the plate member and is adapted to allow the bacon comb to be suspended from an object. The plurality of tine members extend integrally from the plate member and are adapted to engage a product for support and suspension. The plurality of tine members lie substantially in a second plane that intersects the first plane. Optionally, the plate member may include one or more apertures through the plate member to provide for the passage of a locating or guide post there through, such that a plurality of suspension devices can be stacked.
