ABSTRACT:
A girder and a suspension device is adapted for a releasable connection thereto in order to suspend objects from the girder. The girder may be supported between two vertical rails, each having at least one slot. The girder includes a section having a web portion located in the operative state of the girder in a substantially vertical plane, and at least one flange portion angled substantially 90° thereto. The length of the flange portion substantially corresponds to the distance between the rails. The girder has an engagement element for engagement in a slot in a respective one of the rails. The web portion as well as the flange portion are provided with holes located in a common plane, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the girder. The suspension device includes an engagement portion dimensioned for introduction into both holes, at least a portion of the engagement portion being directed so that it tends to incline relative to the axis of the hole upon loading of the suspension device.
