Abstract
An adjustable sink positioning and mounting apparatus for rapidly attaching sinks to the bottom of a counter top includes a channel base member with two columns of ratchet teeth horizontally misaligned, and a sliding sled member releasably engaged with the ratchet base channel. The sliding sled member includes an arm adjacent the top end and at least one blade spring with a curved tip at the lower end.
Claims15
An adjustable support apparatus for under-mount sinks comprising:
- a) an elongated channel base member configured for attachment to a cabinet wall wherein the channel base member includes channels on longitudinal sides of the channel base member, a planar back plate, and one of apertures and stab-locks in the planar back plate;
- b) a sliding member configured to movably engage within the channels of the channel base member, wherein said sliding member has an arm adjacent a top end;
- c) at least one column of ratchet teeth on said planar back plate;
- d) at least one blade spring with a curved tip adjacent a free end of the blade spring, wherein said blade spring is fixed at an end opposite the curved tip to said sliding member;
- and
- e) a prying means proximal said curved tip configured for temporarily disengaging said curved tip free of said column of ratchet teeth.

An adjustable support apparatus for under-mount sinks comprising:
- an elongated channel base member configured for attachment to a cabinet wall wherein the channel base member includes channels on longitudinal sides of the channel base member, a planar back plate with two columns of ratchet teeth, and one of apertures and stab-locks in the planar back plate, wherein said two columns of ratchet teeth are two spaced apart columns of at least 5 ratchet teeth each in staggered horizontal misalignment and configured for height adjustment in increments intermediate to that of horizontal alignment, said ratchet teeth configured for prevention of downward movement of an attached sled member;
- and
- wherein the sled member is configured to movably engage within said channels of said channel base member, wherein said sled member has an arm adjacent a top end and at least one blade spring with curved tip adjacent a lower end, and wherein said blade spring of said sled member includes a means for prying proximal said curved tip wherein said means for prying is configured for temporarily lifting said curved tip free of said columns of ratchet teeth.
