Abstract
There is provided a dual mount end cap system for mounting a rod. The dual mount end cap system includes both a threaded system and a fastener system. This enables end caps of the system to be pre-mounted using a fastener and also adjusted using the threaded system. The fastener can extend through the dual mount end cap system. Alternatively, the threaded system can be used without the fastener system. There also is provided a stop system to prevent a locking system for an adjustable rod system to prevent the locking system from becoming stuck.
Claims10
An adjustable rod system comprising:
- at least two rods being adjustable relative to one another;
- at least one end cap being attachable to at least one of the at least two rods for mounting to a mounting surface, the at least one end cap defining a passage for receiving an end portion of at least one of the at least two rods and a first drive surface defining in part the passage;
- a first insert including first threading and a hollow driver defining a second drive surface in engagement with the first drive surface so that the first insert and the end cap are fixed against rotation relative to one another, wherein the first drive surface defines a socket and the second drive surface is seated in the socket;
- and
- a second insert being attachable to at least one of the at least two rods, the second insert including second threading engaging the first threading such that rotation of at least one of the at least two rods relative to the at least one end cap moves the at least one end cap relative to the at least one of the at least two rods.
