ABSTRACT:
A loop line comprised of a pair of side by side cords of equal length and knots equispaced along said cords for joining the cords together and defining loops between the knots. The cords preferably are limp monofilament with knots tied or are string or thin rope made of several strands braided, twisted or woven together and the knots for joining the cords together are formed by interlacing, braiding or looping the cords. The strands are selected from at least one of polymer, polyester or metal wire fibers. For hanging an item, the loop line has a proximal end terminating at a knot and a distal end terminating in a knot, the proximal end of the loop line is wrapped around or inserted in a hole in the item, the distal end is passed through a loop formed in the loop line at the knot at the proximal end to form a hitch attached to the item, and the loop line is hung from a knot formed in the loop line at the distal end. The system for supporting a sign or ceiling-tile rail from ceiling supports comprises a plurality of loop lines, in which a lower proximal end of the loop line can be inserted through an opening in a sign or ceiling-tile rail to be suspended, the upper distal end passed through a loop formed at the lower proximal end of the length to form a hitch attached to the sign or ceiling-tile rail, and the upper distal end of the loop line of an equivalent number of loops can be attached to the ceiling support.
