Projector screen brackets

Anyone know where I can something like these brackets? Even something fairly basic would do as they will be fixed above a suspended ceiling.

They need to be able to hold over 10KG, which isn't much, and the horizontal bar needs to be between 14 and 20cm.

Or even if some of you clever chaps on here can make some up. I need 6 pairs.

Thanks

Richie,
Have you thought of shelving brackets like these:

Pack of 25 for 14 quid
Put a loop or a keyring in the hole at the end of the horizontal arms and your screens should hook on OK.

Thanks for the reply Dave.

I had thought of something like that but they're a bit too long. We are limited for space and can't mount the projector any further than 3m from the screen. This limits the image size a bit and hanging even further away from the wall, ie closer to the projector, will make it even smaller.

The spec on those ones are also a bit vague. It just says "extra strong" without specifying a maximum load. Lets them off the hook if it falls down I guess.

Computer Village, use a bracket which bolts to the ceiling and has a drop rod through the false ceiling.

They don't look special.

Actually if it's a metal frame ceiling, why not get a length a unistrut or similar to go across the frame work above the ceiling, then you could use a long hook bolt and maybe a short chain.

Simple and cheap.

Going by what you said about the dimensions:
the horizontal bar needs to be between 14 and 20cm.
These are the right size and heavy duty (which I think means for a shelf that will carry more than 10Kg):

Then you could open up the end hole a little and fit these:

Thanks for the replies.

I also found these so I'll speak to my colleague and decide which way is best to go.

Cheers.
