Mounting bracket

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 profiled to engage an accessory mounted to the body, and the second surface profiled to engage a mounting surface, the first support surface being overlapped at least in part with a portion of the second surface to engage the mounting surface to transfer force applied to the first support surface to the mounting surface,
• the body defining first mounting holes extending from the first surface to the second surface, each first mounting hole of the first mounting holes extending obliquely relative to the second surface to guide a fastener extended therethrough into the mounting surface at an angle,
• the body defining second mounting holes extending through the body, the first surface, and the second surface, each second mounting hole of the second mounting holes extending substantially perpendicularly relative to the second surface;
• and
• a ratio of the first mounting holes to the second mounting holes being at least 2:2, wherein at least one of the first mounting holes extends toward a first end of the body and at least one of the first mounting holes extends toward a second end of the body opposite the first end;
• wherein the first surface of the body includes a second support surface profiled to engage the accessory, the body including a recessed portion between the first support surface and second support surface, at least one mounting hole of the first mounting holes extending through the body at the recessed portion.

A mounting bracket comprising:

• a single piece body having a first surface and an opposite second surface, the first surface including a first support surface profiled to enable an accessory to engage and slide along the first support surface when mounting the accessory to the body;
• the single piece body including a stop surface to limit movement of the accessory along the body as the accessory is slid along the body from a first end portion of the body toward a second end portion of the body to mount the accessory to the body, the stop surface being at the second end portion;
• and
• the single piece body defining at least one mounting hole including a first mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface, the first mounting hole extending in part toward the first end portion of the body as the first mounting hole extends from the first surface toward the second surface,
• wherein the first surface further includes a second support surface profiled to engage an accessory mounted to the body, a first surface area of the first support surface being less than a second surface area of the second support surface.
