Abstract
A mounting bracket is provided for attachment to a mounting surface. The mounting bracket has a body having a front surface and a rear surface that is for engagement with the mounting surface. The body has a first set of mounting holes extending from the front surface to the rear surface. Each mounting hole of the first set of mounting holes extends obliquely relative to the rear surface to direct a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle. The body has a second set of mounting holes extending from the front surface to the rear surface. Each mounting hole of the second set of mounting holes extends substantially perpendicularly relative to the rear surface.
Claims15
A mounting bracket for attachment to a mounting surface comprising:
- a body having a first surface and an opposite second surface, the first surface including a first support surface to slidingly engage an accessory mounted to the body, and the second surface profiled to engage a mounting surface;
- the body having a first angled surface extending obliquely relative to the first support surface, the first angled surface disposed in a first plane and defining a first mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface to guide a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle;
- the body having a second angled surface disposed in a second plane and extending obliquely to the first support surface, the first plane being substantially parallel to the second plane, and the second angled surface defining a second mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface to guide a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle,
- wherein the body includes opposing side edges, the side edges include at least a tapered portion on which an accessory slides when mounting on the body.
A mounting bracket for attachment to a mounting surface comprising:
- a body having a first surface and an opposite second surface, the first surface including a first support surface to slidingly engage an accessory mounted to the body, and the second surface profiled to engage a mounting surface;
- the body having a first angled surface extending obliquely relative to the first support surface, the first angled surface disposed in a first plane and defining a first mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface to guide a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle;
- the body having a second angled surface disposed in a second plane and extending obliquely to the first support surface, the first plane being substantially parallel to the second plane, and the second angled surface defining a second mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface to guide a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle,
- wherein the body further includes a set of mounting holes extending from the first surface to the second surface, each mounting hole of the second set of mounting holes extending substantially perpendicularly relative to the second surface,
- wherein the second surface of the body includes a recess formed about each mounting hole of the second set of mounting holes.
A mounting bracket for attachment to a mounting surface comprising:
- a body having a first surface and an opposite second surface, the second surface profiled to engage a mounting surface, the first surface including a first support surface profiled to engage an accessory mounted to the body to transfer a load of the accessory to the mounting surface;
- the body having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion, the first end portion including the first support surface;
- the second end portion of the body including a first mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface to guide a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle, the second end portion providing a clearance recess sized to receive a head of the fastener such that the head of the fastener does not extend beyond the first support surface;
- and
- the body further including one or more hooking surfaces to engage the accessory mounted to the body to keep the accessory aligned with the body,
- wherein the second end portion includes an angled surface extending obliquely relative to the first support surface, the angled surface defining the first mounting hole,
- wherein the body includes opposing side edges having the one or more hooking surfaces, the one or more hooking surfaces extending inward from the first surface to the second surface.
A mounting bracket for attachment to a mounting surface comprising:
- a body having a first surface and an opposite second surface, the second surface profiled to engage a mounting surface, the first surface including a first support surface profiled to engage an accessory mounted to the body to transfer a load of the accessory to the mounting surface;
- the body having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion, the first end portion including the first support surface;
- the second end portion of the body including a first mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface to guide a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle, the second end portion providing a clearance recess sized to receive a head of the fastener such that the head of the fastener does not extend beyond the first support surface;
- and
- the body further including one or more hooking surfaces to engage the accessory mounted to the body to keep the accessory aligned with the body,
- wherein the body further comprises a middle portion between the first end portion and the second end portion, the middle portion including a second mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface to guide a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle.
A mounting bracket for attachment to a mounting surface comprising:
- a body having a first surface and an opposite second surface, the second surface profiled to engage a mounting surface, the first surface including a first support surface profiled to engage an accessory mounted to the body to transfer a load of the accessory to the mounting surface;
- the body having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion, the first end portion including the first support surface;
- the second end portion of the body including a first mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface to guide a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle, the second end portion providing a clearance recess sized to receive a head of the fastener such that the head of the fastener does not extend beyond the first support surface;
- and
- the body further including one or more hooking surfaces to engage the accessory mounted to the body to keep the accessory aligned with the body,
- wherein the first surface includes a second support surface profiled to engage an accessory mounted to the body, a first surface area of the first support surface being greater than a second surface area of the second support surface,
- wherein the body includes opposing side edges having the one or more hooking surfaces, the one or more hooking surfaces extending inward from the first surface to the second surface.
