Abstract:
1. A self-leveling platform hook comprising: a C-shaped frame including a generally vertical leg, a foot member extending generally perpendicularly from a first end of the leg, and a bracket extending generally perpendicularly from an opposite end of the leg, spaced apart from the foot member so that the foot member and the bracket extend from the leg substantially parallel to one another, at least one of the bracket or the foot member including a hole formed therethrough for receiving at least a portion of means for attaching the C-shaped frame to a support surface; means coupled to the frame for attaching the frame to a support surface on which the self-leveling platform hook may be mounted; and a saddle comprising a pair of spaced apart generally L-shaped support arms, each generally L-shaped support arm including an upper arm portion and a lower platform arm portion extending substantially perpendicular to the corresponding upper arm portion, the arms being directly coupled to the generally vertical leg of the frame at an upper portion of each upper arm portion so that each L-shaped support arm is independently and selectively rotatable relative to the C-shaped frame and to one another so as to be self-leveling under influence of gravity, such that:
