Abstract
Abstract A set of assembling members for constructing a supporting device primarily comprises at least two substantially hollow quadrilateral brackets having a plurality of openings on its sides and traversed protrusions provided correspondingly on a pair of opposed sides thereof each protrusion having a through way therein; at least two chains composed of several substantially S-shaped members for mounting on the brackets; bars for inserting through the through way of the brackets; rectangular plates having four slots provided at the corners thereof for receiving the opposed sides of the bracket; and positioning plates having a number of traversed parallel openings therein for engaging with the S-shaped members so as to space two chains which are mounted on the bracket. The supporting device assembled by the assembling members can be mounted on the wall, ceiling or ground for supporting and positioning different kinds of articles.

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A set of assembling members for constructing a supporting device comprises: at least two substantially hollow quadrilateral brackets having a plurality of openings provided on the sides thereof, and traversed protrusions provided correspondingly on a pair of opposed sides thereof each protrusion having a through way therein; at least two chains composed of a number of substantially S-shaped members to engage with the longitudinal openings of said hollow rectangular brackets; positioning plates having parallel traversed openings therein for engaging with said chains so as to space at least two said chains mounted in parallel on said brackets; first bar members for extending through corresponding through ways of said brackets; and plates having four longitudinal slots lecated at corner portions thereof respectively for receiving the opposed sides of said brackets so as to allow said plates to be supported on said protrusions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A set of assembling members for constructing a supporting device comprises: at least two substantially hollow quadrilateral brackets having a plurality of openings provided on the sides thereof, and traversed protrusions provided correspondingly on a pair of opposed sides thereof each protrusion having a through way therein; at least two chains composed of a number of substantially S-shaped members to engage with the longitudinal openings of said hollow rectangular brackets; positioning plates having parallel traversed openings therein for engaging with said chains so as to space at least two said chains mounted in parallel on said brackets; first bar members for extending through corresponding through ways of said brackets; and plates having four longitudinal slots lecated at corner portions thereof respectively for receiving the opposed sides of said brackets so as to allow said plates to be supported on said protrusions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
100 words
A set of assembling members for constructing a suppotting device as claimed in claim 1 further comprises hanging members having a loop portion to be supported on a lower side of said brackets, two parallel arms each having a hook end, and a movable elastic fastener for fastening said arms after said hanging members being mounted on the lower side of said brackets, wherein an inward extending positioning pin is integrally provided on said loop portion to extend through one of said openings of the lower side when said hanging member is hung on the lower side of said bracket.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A set of assembling members for constructing a supporting device as claimed in claim 1 further comprises a number of supporting rods having annular grooves, said supporting rods being able to extend through said through ways of said brackets.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
65 words
A set of assembling members for constructing a supporting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said protrusions are provided with a radial through hole having female screw therein for engaging with a screw to contact tightly with said first bar member or said supporting rod received in said through way so as to avoid the slipping of said bar member of said supporting rod.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
A set of assembling members for constructing a supporting device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the diameter of said through hole is preferrably equal to that of said through way so as to permit said bar member or said supporting rod extending therethrough.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
A set of assembling members for constructing a supporting device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein a pair of opposed sides of said brackets are provided with an inward protrusion having an opening therein for engaging with said chains.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A set of assembling members for constructing a supporting device as claimed in claim 6 wherein the width of a pair of opposed sides of said bracket gradually increases from the lower end to the upper end thereof.
