Abstract:
1. A hang bar assembly for interruptible suspension of one or more utensils, having a hang bar for securely mounting said utensils at a position offset from a building sidewall comprising: (a) a horizontally aligned, rigid bar having a shaft of variable length configured to be offset laterally from a building sidewall when in use, said rigid bar having opposing longitudinal ends; (b) at least two pairs of bracketing sets, each set being disposed proximal to one of the opposing longitudinal ends of the rigid bar; (c) each bracketing set comprising a first and second bracketing element; (d) means provided at the longitudinal ends of each element of the bracketing sets to secure said element to an adjacent sidewall while concurrently supporting the rigid bar in a functional position; (i) the first bracketing elements each having a generally V-shaped configuration with a planar apex when viewed in vertical cross section, and being of a first horizontal central depth, (ii) the second bracketing elements each having a substantially identical, V-shaped configuration, said second bracketing elements also having a planar apex when viewed in vertical cross section, and being of a second horizontal central depth, said second depth being greater than that of the first depth of the first bracketing elements, such that when a second element overlaps a first element, they form a passageway between their planar apexes, which is sized to receive the shaft of the rigid bar, and to firmly support one of the longitudinal ends of said bar; and, (iii) the second bracketing set being identically configured to the first bracketing set and being sized and located to receive and support the opposing longitudinal ends of the rigid bar, thereby presenting a means for supporting utensils in an area of frequent usage.
