Abstract
A panel mount including a base, a first jaw, and a second jaw is provided. The panel mount includes a first and second threaded hole in the first jaw having fasteners received therein. The first threaded hole is nearer to the base than the second threaded hole. The panel mount includes a first and a second protrusion when fasteners are adjusted to protrude from the first jaw towards the second jaw. The panel mount includes a pivot protrusion on the second jaw. A panel is to be fastened between the pivot protrusion and at least one of the first protrusion or the second protrusion. Further, when one of the threaded fasteners protrudes from the first jaw at a greater distance than the other of the threaded fasteners, the panel may pivot about an axis centered on the pivot protrusion.

A panel mount for adjustably fastening a panel to a structure, the panel mount comprising:
- a base having a first base surface;
- a first jaw and a second jaw extending from the first base surface, the first jaw and the second jaw defining an elongate slot;
- a first threaded hole and a second threaded hole in the first jaw, the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole extending through the first jaw, the first threaded hole being nearer to the first base surface than the second threaded hole;
- a first threaded fastener received within the first threaded hole, the first threaded fastener being a first protrusion when the first threaded fastener is adjusted to protrude from the first jaw towards the second jaw;
- a second threaded fastener received within the second threaded hole, the second threaded fastener being a second protrusion when the second threaded fastener is adjusted to protrude from the first jaw towards the second jaw;
- and
- a rocker plate positioned between the first jaw and the second jaw, the rocker plate including a rocker body having a convex protrusion, the convex protrusion abutting the second jaw to provide a pivot point about an axis centered on the convex protrusion such that the panel pivots about the pivot point when protrusion of the first threaded fastener or the second threaded fastener from the first jaw is adjusted,
- whereby the panel is to be fastened between the rocker plate and at least one of the first protrusion or the second protrusion,
- and wherein the rocker plate includes a cantilever arm coupled to a first rocker body end, and wherein the cantilever arm extends from the first rocker body end towards the first jaw to a cantilever arm tip.
