Abstract
A hanging device includes an attachment member (1) and an elongated wire-like support member (7) connectable to the attachment member. The attachment member has an attachment part (2) and a connecting part (3) joined to and extending from the attachment part. The connecting part (3) has at least one pair of slots (5) extending therethrough transversely of the elongated direction of the support member (7). The support member (7) is insertable between a section of the connecting part (3) between the slots and the remaining surface of the connecting part and is deformable to provide a locked connection with the connecting part (3).
Claims4
A hanging device comprising an attachment member (1) and an elongated rectilinearly extending wire-like support member (7) having a first and a second end, said attachment member comprises an attachment part (2) having a surface to be attached to a support surface and a connecting part (3) extending from said attachment part and having a planar connecting surface separate from said surface of said attachment part (2) and extending in an elongated direction of said support member (7), said planar connecting surface of said connecting part having a pair of laterally spaced edges extending in the elongated direction and a first end and a second end extending transversely of and at opposite ends of said edges, said connecting part (3) having at least a pair of slots (5) extending therethrough transversely of the elongated direction of said support member and terminating inwardly of said edges, a section (6) of said connecting part (3) located between at least a pair of said slots (5) and having opposite ends spaced apart and said section extending transversely of the elongated direction and connected at each of said ends to said connecting surface, said section (6) being is displaced perpendicularly out of said planar connecting surface, said support member (7) is inserted in the elongated direction between and in contact with said connection surface and a surface of said displaceable section (6) facing towards said connecting surface so that said first end thereof extends rectilinearly towards said first end of said connecting surface and said second end thereof extends rectilinearly beyond the second end of said connecting surface and said support member including bends extending transversely of said displaceable section and being formed by said displaceable section (6) when said displaceable section (6) is displaced towards said connecting surface and said bends cooperating with said displaceable section (6) for providing a locked connection between said support member and said connecting part (3) with said support member (7) extending rectilinearly from the locked connection and generally parallel with said connecting surface.
