Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a suspension device for suspension of an element with at least one opening adjacent to an elongate and, in use, essentially vertical body, said device comprising a locking means for locking the suspension device axially relative to the elongate body, which locking means is movable along the elongate body, the elongate body in use being adapted to extend through said opening in said element.
  • a suspension device of this type is disclosed in GB 809 571.
  • Suspension devices of the type mentioned by way of introduction are very common, especially when suspending lamp globes. Such suspension devices are often complicated to handle when suspending or removing a lamp globe, for instance, to replace a light bulb. It is in most cases still more complicated if the lamp globe is of a kind that is closed at the bottom in use, i.e. all light from the light bulb radiates through the globe.
  • the object of the present invention therefore is to provide a suspension device which is easy to handle when suspending or removing an element.
  • the inventive suspension device for suspension of an element with at least one opening adjacent to an elongate and, in use, essentially vertical body comprises a locking means for locking the suspension device axially relative to the elongate body, which locking means-is movable along the elongate body, the elongate body in use being adapted to extend through said opening in said element, wherein it further comprises a first element movable along the elongate body, the movement of said element in use being limited downwards by said locking means, a second element movable along the elongate body and, in use, arranged above said first element, and a link system which connects said first element to said second element, the link system being arranged in such a manner that, in a first position, when said movable elements are arranged next to each other, it projects radially from the elongate body, and, in a second position, when said movable elements are arranged at a distance from each other, it extends along said elongate body, and the suspension device in said
  • the extent of the suspension device is not greater than to allow it to be inserted through the opening in the element that is to be suspended.
  • the suspension device When the suspension device is inserted through the hole, it can be released and then assumes said first position, with said movable elements arranged next to each other, due to the weight of said second element.
  • This position is additionally ensured by the weight of the element that is being suspended.
  • said link system comprises two arms, one end of one arm being articulated to said first element, and one end of the other arm being articulated to said second element, the two arms being articulated to each other.
  • said link system comprises three pairs of arms. These can advantageously be distributed uniformly around the elongate body and in this way promote stable suspension which also allows centring of the elongate body relative to the opening in the suspended element. Of course, it is possible to use only two pairs of arms for centring, but with two pairs of arms there is a risk of the suspended element tilting relative to the suspension device.
  • said first arm at the end opposite to the end which is articulated to said first element is provided with an elastic material.
  • the suspension device is made of metal, it may be suitable for a softer material to be in contact with the suspended element if it is made of a fragile material, such as glass.
  • the locking means is preferably arranged in said first element.
  • the locking means may consist, for instance, of a bolt which is screwed through the sleeve wall against the elongate body, the bolt pressing the elongate body against the inside of the sleeve and thus locking said first element to the elongate body.
  • the lamp cap constitute the locking means, i.e. a downward boundary for the suspension device.
  • a gripping device is connected to said second element. If the opening in the suspended element is small, and consequently the suspension device is in said second position, it is convenient for a gripping device to be connected to said second element, thus allowing removal of the suspended element, which extends upwards and out through the opening in the suspended element.
  • a tool can be used if the opening is too small to allow the user's fingers to enter through the opening and grasp said second element and, thus, move the suspension device to said second position.
  • said elongate body comprises an electric cable and a lamp cap is arranged at the end of the elongate body which is the lower end in use.
  • a lamp cap is arranged at the end of the elongate body which is the lower end in use.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of a suspension device according to the present invention in a first position.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view seen obliquely from below of the suspension device in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a side view of a suspension device according to the present invention in a second position.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view seen obliquely from below of the suspension device in Fig. 3.
  • Figs 5A and 5B illustrate an example of a method in suspension of an element with an alternative embodiment of the suspension device according to the present invention.
  • the suspension device 1 in the Figures comprises a first element 2 and a second element 3.
  • the two elements 2, 3 are connected by a link system which comprises three pairs of arms, which pairs of arms comprise a lower arm 4 and an upper arm 5.
  • the lower arm 4 is articulated to the first element 2 and the upper arm 5 is articulated to the second element 3.
  • the free end 6 of the lower arm 4 is provided with a soft plastic material.
  • the first element 2 is provided with a locking means 7 (see Figs 1 and 3).
  • the locking means 7 lock the suspension device 1 in the vertical direction to the elongate body 8 which in this case is a cable to supply current to the light bulb 9.
  • Fig. 1 shows the suspension device in a position where the two elements 2, 3 are arranged next to each other, which means that the free ends 6 of the lower arms 4 are located at a maximum distance from the cable 8. This means that the suspension device 1 can be used to suspend a globe 10 if it has an opening 11 which is smaller than the extent of the suspension device 1. In Fig. 1, the globe 10 does not yet rest on the suspension device 1. Fig. 2 shows how the globe 10 rests on the ends 6 of the lower arms 4.
  • Fig. 3 shows the suspension device 1 with the two elements 2, 3 at a maximum distance from one another, which also means that the free ends 6 of the lower arms 4 are now instead positioned at their shortest distance from the cable 8.
  • the suspension device 1 has in this position a minimum extent and can be inserted through the opening 11 in the globe 10.
  • Fig. 4 shows how the suspension device 1 has been inserted further into the globe 10.
  • Figs 5A and 5B illustrate an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
  • a gripping device 12 in the shown embodiment a rigid sleeve, is attached to the second element 3.
  • the sleeve 12 facilitates the handling of the suspension device 1 since it can easily be grasped. If the opening is small, it may be difficult to grasp the second element 3, especially when the suspension device is in the position shown in Fig. 5B.
  • the suspension device 1 can be pulled to the position with a small extent and be removed from the globe 10.
  • the locking means may consist of, for example, a springloaded clamp.
  • the gripping device can be, for example, a thin cord with a knob that allows easy handling.
  • the link system may comprise resilient sheet elements which bend when the two elements are brought together.
