Abstract

A support apparatus that includes a bracket section with a bracket for support on a structure, a hook section supported by the bracket and an intermediate section connecting the bracket section to the hook section.

Claims

1. A support apparatus comprising:

a bracket section, a hook section supported by the bracket section, and an intermediate section connecting the bracket section to the hook section, at least one of the bracket section and the intermediate section being adjustable.

2. A support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hook section includes hooks that can be reoriented relative to one another.

3. A support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the intermediate section is adjustable telescopically to permit length adjustment.

4. A support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the bracket section includes a bracket portion that can be displaced relative to the intermediate section to permit the fitting of the bracket section to a support structure.

5. The support apparatus of claim 1, wherein the intermediate section is adjustable to permit length adjustment, and further comprising a lock mechanism to permit selective length adjustment of the intermediate section.

6. The support apparatus of claim 5, wherein the intermediate section comprises a first elongated body telescopically received in and displaceable relative to a second elongated body, and wherein the locking mechanism permits selective locking of the first elongated body to the second elongated body.

7. The support apparatus of claim 6, wherein the locking mechanism includes a button rotatably mounted to a cradle, the button including a portion that engages the second elongated body.

8. The support apparatus of claim 7, wherein the lock mechanism further includes a spring that maintains the portion of the button that engages the second elongated body engaged with the second elongated body.

9. The support apparatus of claim 1, wherein the bracket section comprises a bracket assembly integrated with the intermediate section, and including a bracket that is movable to permit position adjustment of the bracket.

10. The support apparatus of claim 9, wherein the intermediate section is adjustable to permit length adjustment, and further comprising a lock mechanism to permit selective length adjustment of the intermediate section.

11. The support apparatus of claim 10, wherein the intermediate section comprises a first elongated body telescopically received in and displaceable relative to a second elongated body, and wherein the locking mechanism permits selective locking of the first elongated body to the second elongated body.

12. The support apparatus of claim 6, wherein the locking mechanism includes a button rotatably mounted to a cradle, the button including a portion that engages the second elongated body.
