A suspension device has a base plate (11) for attaching to a wall and two rods (15,16) attached to the base plate with the ends pointing towards each other. The rods have end knobs (17, 18) and one end knob (18) is spring loaded to abut against the other rod end knob. You can press, for example, a key ring between the end buttons and then pull it out in the same way when you want to remove it. For objects as tools, you can make a snare around the object with a closed lanyard and hang the tool in the lanyard.

Suspension device

Field of the invention

The invention relates to a suspension device with a base plate intended to be attached to a surface, for example a wall and suspension means attached to the base plate. The invention also relates to a method of hanging a tool or other object in the suspension device.

Object of the invention

It is an object of the invention to allow easy suspension and unloading of objects in a suspension device.

Brief description of the invention

The object is fulfilled when the suspension means consist of two rods attached to the base plate with the ends pointing towards each other, at least one rod having an end knob which is spring loaded to abut the end of the other rod. The invention is defined by the claims.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a suspension device according to the invention.

Figure 2 is a larger scale section of a portion of the device of Figure 1.

Description of the illustrated example of the invention

The suspension device has a metal base plate 11 with screw holes 12,13,14 so that it can be screwed onto a wall or other vertical surface. Two metal bars 15,16 are welded to the base plate at their ends perpendicular to it. The rods have bends at right angles so that they become coaxial with their ends pointing towards each other and the ends have end buds 17,18.

Figure 2 shows an enlarged sectional end buds 17,18. The cylindrical bi-contents of the end bud 17 fit into the rod 15, while the cylindrical blind holes of the end bud 18 have a narrow gap against the rod 16. A spring 19 is positioned in the end bud 18 and spans between the bottom of the blind hole and the end of the rod 16 so that the end bud 18 binds to the end bud 17. are rounded so that they get an angle of entry towards each other, which

538 583 means that if a narrow object is pressed in between the end buds, the end buds 18 will fold and the object will pass the end buds.

When you hang an object such as a tool in the suspension device, you use a closed loop of string and make a snare around the object. Then you push the cord between the end buds so that the cord will hang on one of the rods. When many string loops hang on the hanger and you want to remove a special one to get away from the string loops that are in the way and for the desired loop to the end buds' contact surfaces and tighten so that there is a gap between the end buds and the string goes past the end buds. By having laces of different lengths you can hang objects at different heights and make room with many objects.

You can, e.g. use metal rings instead of lace loops and customize the suspension device for key rings. You can then hang the keys relatively tightly but still be able to remove the desired key.
