  • Self-leveling platform hook
    Patent number: 9261228
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-leveling platform hook for use in supporting an object. In one embodiment, the hook includes a frame, means coupled to the frame for attaching the frame to a support surface (e.g., a table, countertop, a wall, etc.), and a saddle including a pair of support arms coupled to the frame. The support arms are coupled to the frame at an upper end of each arm, and are rotatable relative to the frame so as to be self-leveling. In addition, each arm is independently rotatable relative to the support frame and one another such that the distance and angle between lower ends of the arms may be varied so as to cradle and support an object of a given width.
