Suspended hanger and anchor piece

摘要

The present invention is an L-bracket formed, shaped and threaded to become a suspended ceiling anchor capable of engaging multiple diameters of threaded hanging rods, providing spacing means between threaded sections for a user to avoid threading the end of a threaded hanging rod up to two thirds of the end threads of the threaded hanging rod, thereby reducing installation time and complexity.

主权项

1. A suspended ceiling anchor comprising:
(a) an L-shaped bracket comprising a connector plate and a suspended plate; (b) the connector plate defining an opening adapted to provide attachment to a horizontal structure from which a suspended item may be suspended so that the suspended item is suspended vertically; (c) the suspended plate comprises a lower rod area and an upper rod area; (d) each rod area comprises three semi-circular sections, where each semi-circular section has an identical internal diameter and threaded concave surface directed horizontally opposite of an adjacent semi-circular section in its rod area and where the semi-circular sections are arranged adjacent and vertically on a common axis, which is also in a plane of the suspended plate; (e) each semi-circular section is separated from other semi-circular sections by a non-threaded section; and (f) the semi-circular sections of the lower rod area define a larger threaded diameter adapted to engage threads of a larger threaded hanging rod than the semi-circular sections of the upper rod area that define a smaller threaded diameter adapted to engage threads of a smaller threaded hanging rod.
