Abstract:
A support device for supporting an object from a structure, said support device comprising a support member having a front support member surface and a rear support member surface, said rear support member surface for positioning in face-to-face relationship with the structure, and at least one pin member connected to said support member for piercing and entering the structure projecting rearwardly from said rear support member surface for maintaining the rear support member surface in face-to-face relationship with the structure and for maintaining the support member at a desired location on the structure, said at least one pin member being inclined downwardly and defining an acute angle with the rear support member surface, said support member additionally having opposed top and bottom object engagement surfaces extending between said front support member surface and said rear support member surface, one of said top and bottom object engagement surfaces being an arcuate surface diverging away from the other of said top and bottom engagement surfaces in a direction extending from said front support member surface toward said rear support member surface and the other of said top and bottom object engagement surfaces defining an object retention indent extending the length of said support member and adjoining said rear support member surface, said support member for entering a recess defined by two spaced portions of the object and for releasable retention in said recess due to frictional engagement between said support member and said two spaced portions, said support member being dimensioned such that said top and bottom object engagement surfaces will be in tight frictional engagement with said two spaced portions of the object after entering the recess thereof with one of the spaced portions of the object in said object retention indent and the other of the spaced portions of the object engaging said arcuate surface.
