Abstract: A longitudinally extending, or extendable, member is pivotally positioned by being snapped into a housing. The member includes a recess by which the member is snapped into the housing. A protuberance at the pivot position facilitates the pivoting of the member outwardly from the housing into position for receiving an item that is to be suspended by the member. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the housing is a frame with a rectangular opening and opposed protuberances for receiving, by snap action, the longitudinally extendable member. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a plurality of nested members are includable by snap action within the housing at the pivot position. The suspension members can be pivoted outwardly from the housing and used like a clamp to secure the item being suspended.

Abstract: A longitudinally extending, or extendable, member is pivotally positioned within a housing. The member includes a protuberence at the pivot position to facilitate the pivoting of the member outwardly from the housing into a position for receiving an item that is to be suspended by the member. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the housing is a frame with a rectangular opening that receives the longitudinally extending or extendable member. The latter desirably has a rectangular cross section in its longitudinal direction and is similar in its rectangularity to that of the opening in the housing within which it is pivotally positioned. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a plurality of nested members are includable within the housing at the pivot position. In one form of nesting, a central member is bridged by adjoining legs which are in turn joined by the bridge.
