Abstract

Abstract An adjustable hanging device includes a longitudinal body and an adjustable socket member. The longitudinal body has a hanging portion, a mounting portion extending downwardly from the hanging portion, and a guiding hole extending in the hanging portion along a transverse direction of the longitudinal body. The guiding hole has two transversely opposite stop ends. The adjustable socket member is formed with a hanging hole, and is slidable in the guiding hole along the transverse direction between the transversely opposite stop ends so as to adjust position of the hanging hole relative to the center of gravity of the total mass of the adjustable hanging device and at least one object mounted on the adjustable hanging device.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 109 words
An adjustable hanging device adapted for mounting at least one object thereon, comprising: a longitudinal body including a hanging portion, a mounting portion extending downwardly from said hanging portion, and a guiding hole extending in said hanging portion along a transverse direction of said longitudinal body, said guiding hole having two transversely opposite stop ends; and an adjustable socket member formed with a hanging hole, and slidable in said guiding hole along said transverse direction between said transversely opposite stop ends so as to adjust position of said hanging hole relative to the center of gravity of total mass of said adjustable hanging device and the object mounted thereon.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 109 words
An adjustable hanging device adapted for mounting at least one object thereon, comprising: a longitudinal body including a hanging portion, a mounting portion extending downwardly from said hanging portion, and a guiding hole extending in said hanging portion along a transverse direction of said longitudinal body, said guiding hole having two transversely opposite stop ends; and an adjustable socket member formed with a hanging hole, and slidable in said guiding hole along said transverse direction between said transversely opposite stop ends so as to adjust position of said hanging hole relative to the center of gravity of total mass of said adjustable hanging device and the object mounted thereon.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 55 words
The adjustable hanging device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said hanging portion includes a boundary edge which confines said guiding hole, said adjustable socket member further including a peripheral edge face, said boundary edge and said peripheral edge face having interengaging elements for slidably retaining said adjustable socket member within said guiding hole.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 55 words
The adjustable hanging device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said interengaging elements include a flange projecting from and along said boundary edge of said guiding hole, and first and second ribs projecting from and along said peripheral edge face of said adjustable socket member, said flange extending between said first and second ribs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 79 words
The adjustable hanging device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said peripheral edge face includes a pair of linear upper and lower edge sections and two arcuate side edge sections interconnecting said linear upper and lower edge sections, said first rib including two curved rib sections extending respectively along said arcuate side edge sections of said peripheral edge face, said second rib including upper and lower rib sections extending respectively along said linear upper and lower edge sections.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 37 words
The adjustable hanging device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said peripheral edge face further includes positioning ribs respectively formed on said linear upper and lower edge sections transversely of said upper and lower rib sections.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 23 words
The adjustable hanging device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said flange has gaps provided at locations corresponding to said positioning ribs.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 15 words
The adjustable hanging device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said flange is flexible.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 46 words
The adjustable hanging device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said mounting portion includes a guiding track extending downwardly from said hanging portion, and at least a mounting seat slidably installed on said guiding track and having an engaging portion for removably engaging the object.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 26 words
The adjustable hanging device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said hanging hole has a substantially triangular shape and is configured with a hanging apex.
