  • Patent number: 10383462
    Abstract: This is to provide a safety hook 1 having a function of preventing and/or delaying removal of an exhibit 7 by unauthorized persons and a function of preventing unexpected display falling, and has good operability. The safety hook 1 has a grip body 17 capable to be fixed to a hanging wire 3, and a hook 23 for hanging an article, and connected to the body (17). Further, it has a hook cover 21 displaceable between a closed position for closing an opening portion 23z of the hook 23 and an open position for opening the opening portion 23z, and a cover cap 19 which hinders displacement of the hook cover 21 from the closed position to the open position.

  • Patent number: 7641062
    Abstract: A wire gripper having a gripping mechanism capable of gripping two wires at a desirable position thereof for suspending a heavy article without a rotation of the article around an axis of each wire is provided. The wire gripper (1) has an inner sleeve (10) and an outer sleeve (40). The inner sleeve (10) is formed with two wire-insertion bores (11) and two pairs of ball-set bores (21), each bore open at both the wire-insertion bores and an outer surface of the inner sleeve. And, the inner sleeve (10) has a tapered outer surface formed at a portion where the ball-set bores are formed. A spring 60 biases the inner sleeve (10) so that the tapered outer surface of the inner sleeve (10) contacts the tapered inner surface (41a) of the outer sleeve (40). Large-diameter balls (31) and small-diameter balls (31) are received in the ball-set bores (21) and protrude partially into the wire-insertion bores (11) so as to press the wire with three balls in the four balls.

  • Patent number: 7617649
    Abstract: An article hanging system capable of easily changing an exhibit position and an exhibit height of an article such as a goods exhibited in a shop, a hanger and a display shelf comprises a ceiling rail assembly, a wire holder slidably retained to the ceiling rail assembly, a wire hanging down from the wire holder, a gripper fixably attachable at a desired position along the wire, a wire holder attached to a lower end of the wire and a floor rail assembly to which the wire holder is slidably retained. Each of the rail assemblies comprises longitudinal rails extending in a longitudinal direction (the Y-direction) and lateral rails slidable with respect to the longitudinal rail as being spanned between the longitudinal rails. Each of the wire holders are slidable along the lateral rail.

  • Patent number: 7335836
    Abstract: The electrical apparatus suspension unit 1 is provided with two power supply wires 20-1 and 20-2 by which the electrical apparatus 3 is conducted and suspended from the ceiling 5. Each of the wires 20 is connected to the hung member of the electrical apparatus 3 at the lower end by the a lower holder 40, and connected to the rail 9 laid on the ceiling 5 at the upper end by an upper holder 100. The power supply wire 20 comprises a core wire 21, an insulating layer 23 covering the core wire 21 and an outer layer 25 covering the insulating layer 23. The core wire 21 of the power supply wire 20-1 conducts to a grounded conductor cable W1 and the core wire 21 of another power supply wire 20-2 conducts to a voltage applied conductor cable W2. The power supply wires 20 having high tensile strength enables to suspend the electrical apparatus and also supply power thereto.
