Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A lattice bracket of variable cantilevered length, said bracket having an articulated lattice structure for fastening articulately at two fixed points on a wall or other support, said lattice structure comprising at least two parallelogram-like articulated lattice fields, each lattice field consisting of two parallelly disposed links and of a spacer, said spacer having a length equal to the distance between said two fixed pivot points, and joining together in pairs the ends of the two links between pivots, said lattice fields being disposed in tandem continuously in a direction away from said fixed pivot points, and at least one substantially elongation-free cable connecting at least one of said fixed pivot points to the diagonally opposite pivot of the last spacer of the last articulated lattice field said cable running along like-leaning diagonals of the articulated lattice fields, and between said fields running along the respective spacer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A lattice bracket of variable cantilevered length, said bracket having an articulated lattice structure for fastening articulately at two fixed points on a wall or other support, said lattice structure comprising at least two parallelogram-like articulated lattice fields, each lattice field consisting of two parallelly disposed links and of a spacer, said spacer having a length equal to the distance between said two fixed pivot points, and joining together in pairs the ends of the two links between pivots, said lattice fields being disposed in tandem continuously in a direction away from said fixed pivot points, and at least one substantially elongation-free cable connecting at least one of said fixed pivot points to the diagonally opposite pivot of the last spacer of the last articulated lattice field said cable running along like-leaning diagonals of the articulated lattice fields, and between said fields running along the respective spacer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A lattice bracket according to claim 1, comprising two elongation-free cables connecting said two fixed pivot points respectively with the diagonally opposite pivots of the spacer of the last articulated lattice field, each cable running along like-leaning diagonals of the articulated lattice fields and, between the fields, along the respective spacer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A lattice bracket according to claim 1 or 2, wherein each cable is a pre-stretched cable of cord, braided steel rope, plastic, or the like.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A lattice according to claim 1 or 2, wherein each cable is guided in alternate directions around pulleys freely pivoted at the pivots.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A lattice bracket according to claim 4, wherein said pulleys are coaxial with the pivots.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A lattice bracket according to claim 1, wherein the distance between said fixed pivot points is smaller than the lengths of the links.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
A lattice bracket according to claim 1, wherein the lengths of the links are equal.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
A lattice bracket according to claim 1, wherein the spacer of the last articulated lattice field is a load supporting member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
A lattice bracket according to claim 1, wherein the fixed pivot points are disposed vertically above one another.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
26 words
A lattice bracket according to claim 5, wherein the links connected to the fixed pivot points are pivotable about an axis through said fixed pivot points.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
23 words
A lattice bracket according to claim 1, wherein the fixed pivot points are disposed on means removably fastened to a wall or support.
