Abstract

A wall and/or ceiling mount for receiving a fastening rope. The wall and/or ceiling mount comprises receptacles and angled receptacles for affixing the wall and/or ceiling mount, angled receptacles, and a fastening region for the releasable fastening of the rope. The wall and/or ceiling mount has a receiving opening formed therein which is arranged on a lower side between two receptacles and is spanned by a curved connecting region. An outlet opening in the rope guide running in the wall and/or ceiling mount is arranged frontally and approximately centrally on the wall and/or ceiling mount. Above said outlet opening, a further receptacle forms a fastening region on which the loop end rests. A mount at said fastening region secures the loop end which is layable releasably thereon.

Claims

1. A wall and/or ceiling mount for receiving a fastening rope, the mount comprising:

a body having a front and rear surface, the body having formed therein;

three or more receptacles for removably securing the mount to a wall or ceiling, at least one of the three or more receptacles being an angled receptacle, at least one of the three or more receptacles being located a distance away from a line between two of the three or more receptacles;

a receiving opening arranged on a lower side between at least two receptacles of the three or more receptacles;

a rope guide running in the mount; and

an outlet opening in the rope guide arranged frontally and approximately centrally on the mount, and

the body further having formed thereon;

a fastening region for the releasable fastening of the fastening rope,

a curved connecting region spanning between at least two receptacles of the three or more receptacles, and

a lower connecting region opposite the curved connecting region, the receiving opening being between the lower connecting region and the curved connecting region,

wherein

the fastening region is formed above said outlet opening.

2. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rope guide in the mount is formed from lateral walls of at least one of the three or more receptacles, the curved connecting region and the rear surface of the mount.

3. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

at least one receptacle of the three or more receptacles is located at an upper end of the body, and

wherein

the portion of the body in which is formed the receptacle located at the upper end of the body protrudes from the front surface of the body in relation to the outlet opening and forms set-back guide regions,

the set-back guide regions are at a shorter distance to the rear surface than the distance to the rear surface of a portion of the receptacle located at the upper end of the body in the front surface, and

the set-back guide regions are on opposite sides of the receptacle located at the upper end of the body.

4. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two of the three or more receptacles are angled receptacles and wherein the angled receptacles extend through the mount at an angle ranging from 15 to 75 degrees with respect to the rear surface of the mount.

5. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two of the three or more receptacles are angled receptacles and wherein the angled receptacles extend through the mount at an angle ranging from 30-60 degrees with respect to the rear surface of the mount.

6. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two of the three or more receptacles are angled receptacles and wherein the angled receptacles extend through the mount at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the rear surface of the mount.

7. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two of the three or more receptacles are angled receptacles and wherein a centerline through each angled receptacle intersects at least one centerline of another angled receptacle at a point below the rear surface of the mount.

8. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two of the three or more receptacles are angled receptacles and wherein the angled receptacles are between an outer edge of the mount and at least one receptacle.

9. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein a center of an opening corresponding to the intersection of a first receptacle of the three or more receptacles with the rear surface of the mount is separated from a center of an opening corresponding to the intersection of a second receptacle of the three or more receptacles with the rear surface of the mount by a separation distance, the separation distance ranging from 1.5 to 2.75 inches in length.

10. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 9, wherein the separation distance is 1.5 inches in length.

11. The wall and/or ceiling mount as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a receptacle at a lower portion of the mount.

12. The mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein the three or more receptacles is at least two angled receptacles and at least two receptacles, the at least two angled receptacles being located on a first line and the at least two receptacles being located on a second line, the first line being perpendicular to the second line.

13. The mount as claimed in claim 1, wherein the three or more receptacles is at least two angled receptacles and at least three receptacles, the at least two angled receptacles being located on a first line and at least two of the at least three receptacles being located on a second line, the first line being parallel to the second line.
