(54) Suspension element and suspended member


(57) The operation of mounting and removing an inner sheet or safety net on the inside wall of a container is made simpler, labor is alleviated and working time is shortened. A suspension element (10) has a retaining body (12) that holds an inner sheet (30) or a net (200) and a coupling part (14) that is coupled with container inside wall (40) and is provided integrally with the retaining body. The retaining body is of tubular shape having a gap (18) provided in linear fashion along tube axis (16). The inner sheet or a net is provided with linear projections (32, 232). The shape and size of the transverse cross-section of the projections are substantially uniform in the direction of extension of such projections. The projections fit within the tube of the tubular body in a condition in which the suspension element can slide along the projection in question.
