    (54) Fastening devices for chandelier trimmings


    (57) The invention relates to a chandelier including chandelier trimmings (6) connected to a framework by means of a hook means (7) and an attachment means whereby the attachment means is integral with at least part of the framework. The attachment means consists of two openings which may be two slots (10) or a slot and a hole which are located in the framework in such a way that the hook means (7) can be introduced into the attachment means with the minimum of rotational movement and in such a way that the chandelier can be constructed even in close to the ceiling arrangement. It is advantageous if the framework is made from a flat strip (12) or a plate.
    The hook means (7) is formed from wire and consists of a series of bends (8, 11) provided in such a way that when the hook means (7) is located in the attachment means the trimmings (6) achieve their correct position such that the framework is hidden by the trimmings (6). In this way, the framework need not be made of an ornamental material. The hook means (7) is provided with a stop means at its end in the form of a head (9) or a bend such that when the hook means is in its final position it cannot be separated from the framework in a horizontal outward or vertical downward motion.
