(1) Note. Included here is a container with content supported at both top and bottom (or between sides) by attenuated means in festoon-like or catenary-like fashion.
(2) Note. An article supported between parallel yieldable
sheets or pads is not "suspended".
(3) Note. An article supported by or between springs making substantial surface contact with the article is not a "suspension" arrangement.
(4) Note. Generally, "suspended" connotes limited point contact between the supported content and the container. Such support allowing for resilient movement between said points plus a measure of twisting from the unstressed plane of support.
