BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a holding strip for suspension bars, which is known and used to suspend various objects, e.g. brackets and shelf units etc, carried by said brackets, the holding strip being designed to be screwed on or in another fashion be fastened, in a horizontal position, to e.g. a wall and designed with a rear face for contacting said wall and a lower holding edge bent obliquely upwardly and inwardly towards the room and designed to hold a suspension bar, which latter to this end is designed with a slot, designed in a corresponding manner, with which slot said holding edge can engage. When the suspension bar is suspended it is lowered with its suspension slot over the holding edge of the holding strip. Some holding bars are also provided with an upper edge, which is bent obliquely upwardly and inwardly towards the room and which can form a kind of shade ledge or abut the ceiling. A holding strip having a suspension bar of the known type described above is shown in FIG. 1.
This known type of holding strip has a serious drawback, since the suspension bar can be unhooked from the holding edge of the holding strip, if it is lifted upwardly so far that said slot is disengaged from said holding edge, which may result in that an entire shelf set or the like gets loose and tumbles.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to solve this problem and suggest a new and improved holding strip, which is designed in such a manner that a suspension bar adapted to said holding strip cannot be loosened inadvertently, because said suspension bar is in its normal mounting position secured against at least such large lifting movements that would loosen it from the holding edge of the holding strip, while it in one or several positions yet can be adapted onto the holding edge of the holding strip and loosened from it respectively.
Said suspension bar comprises, according to the present invention, a rear face in a known fashion used to screw the suspension bar to a wall or the like, and a lower holding edge bent obliquely upwardly and inwardly towards the room, on which holding edge the suspension bar, provided with a obliquely upwardly and inwardly directed mounting slot, can be hooked, and the novel feature of the invention is that said suspension bar is designed with an upper edge, which is bent obliquely downwardly and inwardly towards the room and is used as a stop edge, which prevents a removing of said suspension bar from the holding edge of said holding strip, said upper edge of said holding strip in one or several areas being cut away up to said rear face a distance which corresponds to the width of said suspension bar, thus allowing the latter to be hooked downwardly over said holding edge solely in this or these areas and subsequently be pushed in a lateral direction, sliding with its suspension slot along said holding edge into the desired position on said holding strip. An optional number of suspension bars can in this manner be adapted to just one holding strip.
Additional characterizing features and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in the following detailed description, reference being made to the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In FIG. 1 in the drawings a holding strip of a type already known is shown. In FIG. 2 a holding strip according to the present invention having two different types of suspension bars in mounted positions is shown in a perspective view. FIG. 3 shows a cross-section of the bar according to the invention with a suspension strip ready to be mounted. FIG. 4 shows in a corresponding way the suspension bar in a completely mounted and loaded position on the holding strip. FIG. 5 shows also in the same way the suspension bar in a situation when it is being pushed past a round head of a screw, by means of which the holding strip has been screwed onto the wall; and FIG. 6 finally shows a holding strip provided with a cover or barrier strip according to the present invention.
