Abstract

A rack for suspending an electrical or mechanical component below a support surface. The rack is quickly assembled with relatively few parts, but it is easily adjustable to a accommodate a large variety of component shapes and dimensions. The rack includes two loops each having a right angle member, a strap or belt, and a buckle. The two loops are associated with a plate member which supports and separates the loops. The plate member is placed on the upper surface of the electrical component to be suspended and the two loops are then tightly secured about the component. The resulting assembly is then attached to the support surface. In a preferred embodiment, a bracket is secured to the support surface and the plate member of the assembly is telescopically engaged with the bracket, horizontally sliding the assembly into position below the support surface.
