To further clarify the purpose, effect and structural feature of the present invention, the following preferred embodiments are given and described with figures.
As shown in
The cross rod aluminum extrusion 1 is a hollow strip, there is a channel 101 in its center.
The slider 2 is a rectangular hollow block, there is a slide hole channel 203 in the upper half of its center, the slide hole channel 203 can be fitted over the cross rod aluminum extrusion 1, so that the slider 2 can move back and forth quickly on the cross rod aluminum extrusion 1. There is a vertical U-shaped channel 201 and a transverse U-shaped channel 202 in the lower part of its center. The vertical U-shaped channel 201 and transverse U-shaped channel 202 are crossed.
The T-rod 3 is T-shaped, its top is a T-head 301, there is a threaded rod 302 in appropriate position of lower end. The T-head 301 passes through the vertical U-shaped channel 201 of slider 2, after it is turned 90°, it can be fixed to the transverse U-shaped channel 202.
The buckle block 4 is a rectangular block, there is a buckle slot 401 on its left. There is a hook part 404 on the left of buckle slot 401. There is a platform 405 on the right of buckle slot 401. There is a cylinder 406 in the center of the platform 405. There is a through hole 402 in the center of the cylinder 406. The through hole 402 allows the shaft of T-rod 3 to pass through. There is a lug 403 in the center of bottom of the platform 405, there is a semi-circular arc flange 4031 on two sides of the lug 403 respectively.
The handle 5 is columnar, its top end has a U-slideway 502, extending downwards to an appropriate position, adjacent to the hand grip 505.
