  • Patent number: 5397090
    Abstract: Adjustable hangers used in hanging loads from joists that extend across a room downward in the ceiling toward the room's floor are disclosed. The hangers have a mount for attaching to a joist, the mount having a support that joins a guide and is adapted to fit against a side of the joist and the guide to fit against a side of the joist that runs along the first side at a right angle. The support carries first and second cups at different vertical levels from one another on the support. The hangers also comprise a strand having enlargements spaced equally along its length. The strand also carries a hook for carrying the load, e.g. ceiling tile frame. Placing a select-enlargement of the strand in a cup allows for adjustment in the height of the hook. Placing the same enlargement in a different cup permits refinement in the height of the hook. Positions of the first and second cups include adjacent the support and remote from the support respectively, as well as adjacent and remote from one another.
