These are "Brainstorming"
suggestions...comments please.
The hook can be simply attached using the tubular metal
connector removed from a "chocolate Block" electrical connector
(illustrated right). The small brass insert can be
soldered to a "Bulldog" clip which in turn is placed to grip the
main tubular stanchion. This hook assembly may be slid up and down
the stanchion and holding tube to engage the hook ( with the aid of
a probe to help locate the hook initially.)
The base should be 60mm-100mm in diameter about 20mm in thickness,
stainless steel my be an advantage but is difficult to work. The tubular
stanchion is fitted centrally and at ?? degrees to the vertical. The
connector for the Co2 should communicate with the hole in
the central stanchion and the queen holder tube should be a push fit
into a ferrule on the top end of the stanchion tube. (I have seen
versions that had a spigot on the top of the stanchion that fitted
inside the queen holder but this is risky as perspex is very "notch
prone" and may easily split if accidentally knocked. The queen holder
and stanchion, when assembled, should be the same diameter over all
the length to facilitate the sliding of the "Bulldog" hook.
