Length of the metal brackets agrees with length of the short bars. Multiple strings (4) are attached to sides of the long bars parallel to the metal brackets, where the strings are spaced at a distance to each other. The carrier exhibits a bearing point. The support is designed as a pipe or a profiled pipe. The strings exhibit a drop-shaped cross-section. A holder is firmly arranged at the support.
