Abstract
Abstract The suspension system is formed of a holder and a support member which is locked in the holder. The holder has a pair of shaped apertures which are disposed in opposed parallel relation which serve to receive constricted portions of the support member. The support member is fitted longitudinally into the apertures of the holder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A suspension system comprising a one part holder adapted to be fixed to one of a wall and a ceiling, said holder having at least two apertures therein disposed in opposition to each other; each said aperture having a constricted section and a widened section above said constricted section; and a support bar having a widened portion sized to pass longitudinally through a widened section of one of said apertures and a constricted portion sized to fit transversely into said constricted section of said one aperture to lock said support member in said holder.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A suspension system comprising a one part holder adapted to be fixed to one of a wall and a ceiling, said holder having at least two apertures therein disposed in opposition to each other; each said aperture having a constricted section and a widened section above said constricted section; and a support bar having a widened portion sized to pass longitudinally through a widened section of one of said apertures and a constricted portion sized to fit transversely into said constricted section of said one aperture to lock said support member in said holder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A suspension system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said support bar has a pair of said constricted portions disposed in longitudinally spaced relation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A suspension system as set forth in claim 2 wherein said support bar is cylindrical and has a pair of circumferential grooves defining said constricted portions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A suspension system as set forth in claim 3 wherein said bar has a U-shaped bend in a middle portion thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A suspension system as set forth in claim 2 wherein said support member is a cylindrical bar having a pair of flanges forming widened sections.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A suspension system as set forth in claim 2 wherein said holder is a U-shaped yoke having a pair of lugs extending in parallel relation, each said lug having a respective one of said apertures therein.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A suspension system as set forth in claim 6 wherein said yoke has a pair of parallel flanges disposed between said lugs.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim

A suspension system as set forth in claim 2 wherein said holder includes a curvilinear plate having a pair of parallel lugs extending therefrom in transverse relation, each said lug having a respective one of said apertures therein.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
A suspension system as set forth in claim 8 wherein said holder further includes a curvilinear flange about said plate to define a pot-shape recess.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
20 words
A suspension system as set forth in claim 9 which further comprises a disc of sound-attenuating material in said recess.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim

Claim 13
Dependent Claim
101 words
In combination, a one part holder adapted to be fixed to one of a wall and a ceiling, said holder having at least two apertures therein disposed in opposition to each other; each said aperture having a constricted section and a widened section above said constricted section; a support bar having a widened portion sized to pass longitudinally through a widened section of one of said apertures and a constricted portion sized to fit transversely into said constricted section of said one aperture to lock said support member in said holder; and a ventilation ducting suspension suspended from said support bar.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
101 words
In combination, a one part holder adapted to be fixed to one of a wall and a ceiling, said holder having at least two apertures therein disposed in opposition to each other; each said aperture having a constricted section and a widened section above said constricted section; a support bar having a widened portion sized to pass longitudinally through a widened section of one of said apertures and a constricted portion sized to fit transversely into said constricted section of said one aperture to lock said support member in said holder; and a ventilation ducting suspension suspended from said support bar.
