Channel mounting hook support

An article supporting device comprising a hook and a support therefor, said support being receivable in a C-shaped channel, said device comprising:

• a support having a first side, an opposite side and a pair of lateral sides extending between the first side and the opposite side, said first side being receivable in a portion of said channel;
• a hollow projection on a face of said body in spaced relation to said first side, said projection having a pair of spaced apertures therein for receiving a hook, said apertures being aligned along a line extending at an acute angle with respect to the plane of said face of said body;
• a first resilient arm extending from one lateral side of said body, said arm having a portion receivable in another portion of said channel;
• a second resilient arm extending from the other lateral side of said body, said second arm having a portion receivable in said other portion of said channel;
• and
• a relatively long and narrow hook having a free end and an opposite end, said opposite end of the hook having a pair of legs extending transversely to the length of said hook and toward each other but with the free end of one leg spaced from the free end of the other leg, said legs being detachably received in respective said apertures in said projection.

In combination with a C-shaped channel having inturned edge portions providing a pair of spaced, longitudinally extending and facing recesses, an article supporting device comprising:

• a support body having a first side having a pair of ends, a second, opposite side and a pair of lateral sides extending from the ends of the first side to the opposite side;
• a projection on a face of said body in spaced relation to said first side, said projection having at least one aperture therein for receiving a hook, the axis of said aperture extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to a rectilinear line between said ends of said first side and extending at an angle less than 90.degree. with respect to the plane of said face of said body;
• a first resilient arm extending from one lateral side of said body and in a direction parallel to the plane of said face;
• and
• a second resilient arm extending from the other lateral side of said body and in a direction parallel to the plane of said face, said body being mounted on said channel with said first side in one of said recesses, with a portion of each of said arms in the other of said recesses and with said face of said body facing away from said channel.

A support for a hook, said support being receivable in a C-shaped channel and comprising:

• a body having a first side, an opposite side and a pair of lateral sides extending between the first side and the opposite side, said first side being receivable in a portion of said channel and the portion of said body adjacent said first side decreasing in thickness, in cross-section, in the direction toward said first side;
• a hollow projection on a face of said body in spaced relation to said first side, said projection having a pair of spaced apertures therein for receiving a hook, said apertures being aligned along a line extending at an acute angle with respect to the plane of said face of said body;
• a first resilient arm extending from a side of said body other than said first side, said arm having a portion which is receivable in another portion of said channel and which decreases in thickness in the direction away from said first side;
• and
• a second resilient arm extending from a lateral side of said body other than said first side and other than the side from which said first arm extends, said second arm having a portion which is receivable in said other portion of said channel and which decreases in thickness in the direction away from said first side.

An article supporting device comprising a hook and a support therefor, said support being receivable in a C-shaped channel, said device comprising:

• a support body having a first side, an opposite side and a pair of lateral sides extending between the first side and the opposite side, said first side being receivable in a portion of said channel and the portion of said body adjacent said first side decreasing in thickness in the direction toward said first side;
• a hollow projection on a face of said body in spaced relation to said first side, said projection having a pair of spaced apertures therein for receiving a hook, said apertures being aligned along a line extending at an acute angle with respect to the plane of said face of said body;
• a first resilient arm extending from one lateral side of said body, said arm having a portion which is receivable in another portion of said channel and which decreases in thickness in the direction away from said first side;
• a second resilient arm extending from the other lateral side of said body, said second arm having a portion which is receivable in said other portion of said channel and which decreases in thickness in the direction away from said first side;
• and
• a relatively long and narrow hook having a free end and an opposite end, said opposite end of the hook having a leg extending transversely to the length of said hook, said leg being detachably received in said aperture in said projection.

In combination with a C-shaped channel having inturned edge portions providing a pair of spaced recesses, an article supporting device comprising:

• a support body having a first side, an opposite side and a pair of lateral sides extending between the first side and the opposite side, the portion of said body adjacent said first side decreasing in thickness in cross-section, in the direction toward said first side;
• a hollow projection on a face of said body in spaced relation to said first side, said projection having a pair of spaced apertures therein for receiving a hook, said apertures being aligned along a line extending at an acute angle with respect to the plane of said face of said body;
• a first resilient arm extending from one lateral side of said body;
• and
• a second resilient arm extending from the other lateral side of said body, said body being mounted on said channel with said first side in one of said recesses, with a portion of each of said arms in the other of said recesses and with said face of said body facing away from said channel, each said portion of each said arm decreasing in thickness in the direction away from said first side.
