104 extending across one face of plate 102 the longitudinally central portion of groove is bridged over at 106 to provide an open ended tunnel 108 a shank 110 extends at a right angle to the face of plate 102 opposite the face with groove 104 and tunnel 108 shank 110 is indistinguishable form the portion of shank 50 of prong 22 that is between flange 52 and end 56 and need not be described further plate 102 of suspension member 100 provides a clamping flange equivalent clamping flange 52 of prong 22 and providing a clamping surface also shank 110 is usable with clamping member 60 unchanged and in the same manner a portion of the face of plate 102 from which shank 110 extends is beveled at 110 to a reduced thickness toothed area 112 and thence is beveled again at 114 to a sharp edge 116 all as shown in fig5 further plate 102 may be provided with a hole 118 as shown in fig1 fig1 13 14 15 and 16 show typical applications of suspension member 100 and bring out the versatility of member 100 and the simplicity of its use fig1 shows suspension member 100 simply fastened to a vertical moulding 120 via a nail 122 passing through hole 118 a piece of sheeting 124 polyethylene or otherwise has been applied to shank 110 which in this instance is horizontal however sheeting 124 is still in the main horizontal fig1 shows a horizontal cylindrical hot water pipe 126 with a clamping strap 128 therearound and passing.
