Overhead support apparatus

摘要

A support component comprises a tab configured to be coupled to a bar (as comprises a part of an item to be suspended), the tab including a plurality of openings disposed therethrough and configured to receive an overhead support interface (such as a corresponding flexible link) to thereby provide overhead support to the bar. These openings can be laterally offset from one another to facilitate selecting a particular pitch orientation for the bar. The tab can have a non-circular hole disposed therethrough sized and configured to receive the bar. This hole can include a surface that is configured to key with respect to a corresponding bar surface to thereby prevent the bar from rotating.

1. A sign comprising:
a plurality of physically-discrete sign components that are serially attached to one another and where the physically-discrete sign components each include at least one bar; a support component disposed and coupled between two of the physically-discrete sign components that are adjacent to one another and where the bars of the two physically-discrete sign components are coupled to one another, wherein the support component includes: at least one captivation point disposed therethrough that are each configured to receive an overhead support interface such that the at least one of the captivation point provides overhead support to the sign; and an opening through which at least one of the bars of the two physically-discrete sign components is disposed.
