A mechanism for suspending equipment from an overhead structural member includes a suspension strand, e.g. of wire or wire rope, provided at one end with a screwthreaded portion, together with a locking device having in bores each preferably associated with a wedging mechanism which prevents withdrawal of the free end of the strand in the opposite direction to insertion. The screwthreaded portion may be screwed into the overhead structural member, or into the equipment, the free end of the strand passed through one bore of the locking device, through an eye on the equipment or round the equipment, or through an eye on the overhead structural member or round the overhead structural member, then back through the other bore of the locking device to be secured therein by the wedging mechanism. |
