Abstract
A pair of linearly spaced thumb screws engage a bracket that slides and locks over the thumb screws to reversibly attach an item connected to the bracket to a surface supporting the thumb screws. The bracket has a body with a length longer than the spaced thumb screws. Apertures on opposing edges of the body engage the thumb screws when the bracket is placed over the thumb screws and twisted. Tapered channels in the body of the bracket capture and hold the thumb screws as the bracket is slid along the thumb screws to secure the bracket and connected item to the surface.
Claims19
A bracket capable of engaging pins spaced at a distance, the bracket comprising:
- a body comprising a top side and a bottom side, an edge, an opposing edge, an end, and an opposite end;
- a first aperture on the edge, the first aperture comprising a first channel disposed along at least one side of the body;
- a second aperture on the opposing edge, the second aperture comprising a second channel disposed along at least one side of the body;
- wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are spaced at the distance of the pins and the bracket captures the pins when the body is twisted over the pins and the pins are slid along the channels.
A bracket capable of engaging pins spaced at a distance, the bracket comprising:
- an elongated body comprising a top side and a bottom side, an elongated edge, an opposing elongated edge, an end, and an opposite end;
- a first aperture on the elongated edge, the first aperture comprising a first channel disposed along a length of at least one side of the elongated body;
- a second aperture on the opposing elongated edge, the second aperture comprising a second channel disposed along the length of at least one side of the body;
- wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are spaced at the distance of the pins and the bracket captures the pins when the body is twisted over the pins and the pins slide along the channels.
In combination a bracket system comprising:
- a bracket and pins, the bracket capable of engaging the pins when the pins are spaced at a distance, the bracket comprising;
- a body comprising a top side and a bottom side, an edge, an opposing edge, an end, and an opposite end;
- a first aperture on the edge, the first aperture comprising a first channel disposed along at least one side of the body;
- a second aperture on the opposing edge, the second aperture comprising a second channel disposed along at least one side of the body;
- wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are spaced at the distance of the pins and the bracket captures the pins when the body is twisted over the pins and the pins slide along the channels to secure the bracket to the surface.
