Abstract
A wall mount bracket assembly includes a first bracket having a vertical flange and a horizontal flange and a second bracket having a vertical flange and a horizontal flange. The horizontal flanges of the first and second bracket are adjustably coupled such that a gap defined between the vertical flanges of the first and second brackets may be varied, wherein the first and second brackets define a downwardly opening channel.

A wall mount bracket assembly comprising:
- a first bracket comprising a first vertical flange and a first horizontal flange having a first end connected to the first vertical flange and a second end spaced apart from the first vertical flange;
- a second bracket comprising a second vertical flange and a second horizontal flange having a first end connected to the second vertical flange and a second end spaced apart from the second vertical flange, wherein the first and second horizontal flanges of the first and second bracket are adjustably coupled such that a horizontal gap defined between the first and second vertical flanges of the first and second brackets is variable, wherein the first and second vertical flanges of the first and second brackets define a channel opening downwardly relative to the first and second horizontal flanges of the first and second brackets, and wherein the second ends of each of the first and second horizontal flanges are positioned between the first and second vertical flanges.
A wall mount bracket assembly comprising:
- a first bracket comprising a vertical flange and a horizontal flange;
- a second bracket comprising a vertical flange and a horizontal flange, wherein the horizontal flanges of the first and second bracket are adjustably coupled such that a gap defined between the vertical flanges of the first and second brackets are variable, wherein the first and second brackets define a channel opening downwardly relative to the horizontal flanges of the first and second brackets;
- wherein the horizontal flange of the first bracket comprises a plurality of laterally spaced slots, and wherein the second bracket comprises a tab extending downwardly from the horizontal flange, wherein the tab is removably inserted into one of the plurality of slots, and wherein portions of the horizontal flanges of the first and second brackets overlap.
A method of securing a component to a wall comprising:
- fastening a vertical flange of a first bracket to the wall such that a horizontal flange of the first bracket extends outwardly from the wall;
- positioning the component under the horizontal flange and abutting the vertical flange of the first bracket;
- releasably coupling the horizontal flange of the first bracket with an overlapping horizonal flange of a second bracket, wherein ends of the horizontal flanges of the first and second brackets are positioned between the vertical flanges of the first and second brackets;
- and
- abutting the component with a vertical flange of the second bracket, wherein the first and second brackets define a channel in which the component is disposed, wherein the channel opens downwardly relative to the horizontal flanges of the first and second brackets.
