  • Patent number: 4174087
    Abstract: An overhead swivel suspension set that consists of a mount and a support, i.e. a grab. The set when assembled is used to hang an object, e.g. a floral display or an electric light fixture, from a ceiling or the like. The mount includes a base adapted to be secured to a ceiling, and a horizontal ring held below the base by pendant legs. The base, the legs and the ring are die cast as a single piece. The opening through the ring constitutes a vertical bearing. The upper surface of the ring serves as a horizontal step bearing. The ring is gapped over an arc of considerably less than 180.degree. to provide a radial slot. The support comprises a journal with a grab, e.g. a hook, at its lower end, and an enlarged head at its upper end. The journal, the grab and the head are die cast as a single piece. The journal is rotatable in the opening through the ring so that it can turn about a vertical axis in the mount. The diameter of the journal is greater than the width of the gap.
