Definitions

  • the main feature of hooking devices used in numerous interior decoration or building infrastructure applications must be that of allowing the point of connection between the hooked elements to be moved.
  • adjustable hooks which can be attached to a fixed "hanger” are known.
  • These hooks are equipped with supporting means which extend in one or more directions and which are designed to support elements of various kinds such as ceilings, plasterboard walls or piping.
  • hooks which are made of metal, usually consist of two matching parts: a main rigid element and a bent, elastically compliant plate used as a spring.
  • the main element is equipped with protrusions designed to support other elements, as mentioned above, and means for locking it to the plate.
  • the plate on the other hand, has two suitably perforated tabs enabling the hook to be attached to the fixed hanger.
  • the plate is designed in such a way that the hanger can be inserted into the holes only by compressing the tabs, whilst the elasticity of the tabs confers rigidity on the hook assembly.
  • Hooks of these kinds are made by moulding and bending the supporting tabs of the main rigid element and then separately moulding, hardening and bending the plate tabs. Next, the main element and the plate are suitably positioned relative to each other and the plate is secured to the main element by deforming a protruding portion of the surface of the main element.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages.
  • This aim is achieved by providing a hook made as a single piece.
  • the main advantage achieved by the present invention lies essentially in that fact that it minimises the number of stages required to make the hook, thus reducing production time and cost.
  • the invention relates to an adjustable hook. Like those traditionally used, it comprises supporting means (2) and elastically deformable attachment means (3) for attaching it to a fixed structure.
  • the hook (1) according to the invention is characterised in that it is made as a single piece.
  • the attachment means (3) comprise two perforated tabs (5).
  • the drawings show the hook (1) connected to a fixed hanger (p).
  • the deformability of the tabs (5) enables the hanger (p) to be inserted into the holes and their spring back guarantees the stability of the connection.
  • the hook (1) may be moved along the hanger (p) by acting simultaneously on the tabs (5) to temporarily deform them so as to allow the hook (1) to slide along the hanger (p).
  • the plate (4) may be made in various ways and using various materials: for example, it may be made by cutting and bending or by moulding metal or plastic.
