Abstract
A method of installing a plurality of brackets. A bracket is provided as is a story pole. A plurality of brackets are releasably attached to the story pole. The story pole is positioned proximate an outside surface to which the plurality of brackets is to be attached. The first one of the plurality of brackets is attached to the outside surface in a desired orientation. The second, as well as any other brackets, is attached to the outside surface in a desired orientation. The story pole is released from the brackets leaving the plurality of brackets attached to the outside surface in alignment in at least one dimension.
Claims17
A method of installing a plurality of brackets comprising the steps of:
- providing the plurality of brackets;
- providing a story pole, wherein the story pole has a first end and a second end;
- releasably attaching the plurality of brackets to the story pole, including the step of sandwiching the story pole between portions of at least one of the plurality of brackets and maintaining attachment through a biasing force exerted between the bracket and the story pole;
- positioning the story pole having the plurality of brackets proximate an outside surface to which the plurality of brackets is to be attached;
- attaching a first one of the plurality of brackets to the outside surface in a desired orientation;
- attaching a second one of the plurality of brackets in a desired orientation;
- attaching at least a plurality of remaining ones of the plurality of brackets to the outside surface;
- and
- releasing the story pole from the plurality of brackets that are attached to the outside surface, leaving the plurality of brackets attached to the outside surface in alignment in at least one dimension.
A method of installing a plurality of brackets comprising the steps of:
- providing the plurality of brackets;
- providing a story pole, wherein the story pole has a first end and a second end;
- releasably attaching the plurality of brackets to the story pole;
- positioning the story pole having the plurality of brackets proximate an outside surface to which the plurality of brackets is to be attached;
- attaching a first one of the plurality of brackets to the outside surface in a desired orientation;
- attaching a second one of the plurality of brackets in a desired orientation;
- attaching at least a plurality of remaining ones of the plurality of brackets to the outside surface;
- releasing the story pole from the plurality of brackets that are attached to the outside surface, leaving the plurality of brackets attached to the outside surface in alignment in at least one dimension;
- and
- attaching an outer bracket to a plurality of the plurality of brackets after the step of attaching the brackets to the outside surface after the step of releasing the story pole.
A method of installing a plurality of brackets comprising the steps of:
- providing the plurality of brackets;
- providing a story pole, wherein the story pole has a first end and a second end, and defines an inner edge and an outer edge opposite the inner edge, wherein the story pole further includes at least one of a flange positioned at one of the outer edge and between the outer edge and the inner edge, and, an opening disposed between the first end and the second end;
- releasably attaching the plurality of brackets to the story pole;
- positioning the story pole having the plurality of brackets proximate an outside surface to which the plurality of brackets is to be attached;
- attaching a first one of the plurality of brackets to the outside surface in a desired orientation;
- attaching a second one of the plurality of brackets in a desired orientation;
- and
- releasing the story pole from the plurality of brackets that are attached to the outside surface, leaving the plurality of brackets attached to the outside surface in alignment in at least one dimension.
A system comprising:
- an outer bracket;
- a plurality of base brackets configured to be attachable to an outside surface, with the outer bracket being attachable to the plurality of base brackets in a spaced apart configuration;
- a story pole, releasably attachable to the plurality of base brackets, the story pole attachable to the base brackets for alignment with and attachment to the outer surface, whereupon the story pole is released prior to the attachment of the outer bracket to the plurality of base brackets.
