Abstract
The present invention is a component for providing alignment between at least two external components. The present invention is a bracket member having at least two attachment structures, and at least two externally visible components connected to the at least two attachment structures, and the at least two attachment structures provide adjustable positioning between the at least two externally visible components connected to the at least two attachment structures such that the position off the at least two externally visible components can be adjusted relative to one another.
Claims20
A component for providing alignment between at least two external components, comprising:
- a bracket member having at least two attachment structures, and at least two externally visible components connected to said at least two attachment structures, and said at least two attachment structures provide adjustable positioning between said at least two externally visible components connected to said at least two attachment structures such that the position of said at least two externally visible components can be adjusted relative to one another.
A bracket member for controlling the positioning of at least two externally visible components, comprising:
- a first attachment structure operable for connection with one of at least two externally visible components;
- a second attachment structure operable for connection with another of at least two externally visible components;
- and
- a third attachment structure operable for attachment with a support member, said support member providing support for one of said at least two externally visible components.
A bracket member for controlling the relative positioning between more than one externally visible component of an automobile, comprising:
- a U-bracket having a first flange portion substantially parallel to a second flange portion and a main aperture extending through said first flange portion and said second flange portion;
- a first substantially flat portion offset from a second substantially flat portion and an extension, forming a slot, an aperture formed in said first flat portion;
- a tab having an aperture, said tab slidably disposed within said slot, and said aperture of said tab is selectively in alignment with said aperture of said first substantially flat portion;
- and
- a lower bracket formed as a portion of said bracket member.
