Abstract

A device for suspending objects comprising a stationary stand with a straight inner passage which curves outwardly at one end. An elongate support member is received in the passage and consists of a series of vertebra-like elements fixed at one side to a flexible blade in a closely adjacent series arrangement to prevent bending of the support member in a downward direction. The vertebra elements have each a projecting flange on a side perpendicular to the flexible blade and a corresponding recess on the opposite side, the flange of one element engaging the recess of the adjacent element to prevent lateral displacement.
