Abstract
An apparatus for mounting an object to a wall and a related method of use are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a longitudinally extending track, plural carriers movably supported by the track for movement relative thereto in a longitudinal direction, and couplers supported on the carriers to support the object. A feature of the apparatus is that the carriers are positionable to project past ends of the track whereby the couplers can be located beyond the track. Another feature of the apparatus is that the couplers can be movably supported on the carriers to be repositionable in a crosswise direction to the longitudinal direction.
Claims22
An apparatus for mounting an object to a wall, comprising:
- a track extending longitudinally between opposite ends of the track and configured for mounting to the wall;
- a plurality of carriers supported by the track for longitudinal movement relative thereto, wherein the carriers have longitudinally opposite inner and outer ends;
- and
- a plurality of couplers supported on the carriers and configured to receive the object thereby mounting the object to the wall;
- wherein the carriers are movable from retracted positions in which the carriers are located intermediate the ends of the track to extended positions in which the carriers extend from the inner ends located intermediate the ends of the track and past the ends of the track to the outer ends located outwardly of the track.
An apparatus for mounting an object to a wall, comprising:
- a track extending longitudinally between opposite ends of the track and configured for mounting to the wall;
- a plurality of carriers supported by the track for longitudinal movement relative thereto;
- and
- a plurality of couplers supported on the carriers and configured to receive the object thereby mounting the object to the wall;
- wherein the couplers are supported for movement relative to the carriers in a crosswise direction to the longitudinal direction of the track.
A method of mounting an object to a wall, comprising:
- providing a track mounted to the wall and supporting plural carriers movable in a longitudinal direction of the track, wherein the carriers support couplers for receiving the object such that the object is mountable to the wall;
- positioning the carriers in spaced apart relation such that a distance between opposite outer ends of the carriers is no more than a corresponding dimension of the object;
- and
- supporting the object on the couplers of the spaced apart carriers, whereby the object is mounted to the wall.
