Abstract
A mounting device may include a hook arm including a first vertical portion, a center portion coupled to the first vertical portion at a first end of the center portion, and a second vertical portion coupled to the center portion at a second end of the center portion. The mounting device may also include a hook plate coupled to the hook arm at the second vertical portion via a fastener. The hook plate may include a third vertical portion and a base portion to couple the hook plate to a surface. The mounting device may further include an anti-rotation system to restrict rotation of the hook plate relative to the hook arm.
Claims20
A mounting device comprising:
- a hook arm including:
- a first vertical portion,
- a center portion coupled to the first vertical portion at a first end of the center portion, and
- a second vertical portion coupled to the center portion at a second end of the center portion, the second vertical portion including:
- a front surface,
- a rear surface opposite the front surface,
- an aperture extending through the front surface and the rear surface,
- a first side surface extending from the front surface to the rear surface, and
- a second side surface opposite the first side surface, the second side surface extending from the front surface to the rear surface;
- and
- a hook plate couplable to the hook arm at the front surface of the second vertical portion via a fastener, the hook plate including:
- a base portion to couple the hook plate to a surface upon installation, and
- a connection flange to engage with the front surface of the second vertical portion of the hook arm, the connection flange protruding transversely to the base portion in a first direction, and the connection flange including:
- a first formed portion protruding away from the base portion in a second direction that is transverse to the first direction,
- a second formed portion protruding away from the base portion in the second direction, and
- an aperture extending through the connection flange between the first formed portion and the second formed portion,
- wherein, when the mounting device is assembled, the first formed portion is positioned adjacent to the first side surface of the second vertical portion and the second formed portion is positioned adjacent to the second side surface of the second vertical portion.
A mounting device comprising:
- a hook arm including a vertical portion having:
- a front surface,
- a rear surface opposite the front surface, the rear surface configured to engage with a fastener, and
- a side surface extending from the front surface to the rear surface;
- and
- a hook plate shaped to connect to the front surface of the vertical portion of the hook arm, the hook plate including a formed portion protruding away from the hook plate,
- wherein the formed portion of the hook plate is configured to engage with the side surface of the hook arm, and
- wherein the formed portion of the hook plate is positioned adjacent to the side surface of the vertical portion when the mounting device is assembled.
A mounting device comprising:
- a hook arm including:
- a first vertical portion,
- a center portion coupled to the first vertical portion at a first end of the center portion,
- a second vertical portion coupled to the center portion at a second end of the center portion,
- a first arced indent formed along at least a portion of a center line of the center portion, and
- a second arced indent formed on the second vertical portion, the second arced indent being deflected in an opposite direction with respect to the first arced indent;
- and
- a hook plate couplable to the hook arm at the second vertical portion via a fastener, the hook plate including:
- a base portion to couple the hook plate to a surface upon installation, and
- a connection flange to engage with the hook arm, the connection flange protruding transversely to the base portion in a first direction, and the connection flange including:
- a first formed portion protruding away from the base portion in a second direction that is transverse to the first direction,
- a second formed portion protruding away from the base portion in the second direction, and
- an aperture extending through the connection flange between the first formed portion and the second formed portion,
- wherein, when the mounting device is assembled, the first formed portion is positioned adjacent to a first side surface of the second vertical portion of the hook arm and the second formed portion is positioned adjacent to a second side surface of the second vertical portion of the second vertical portion of the hook arm.
