Abstract

An adjustable mounting, and securing and fastening assembly comprising the combination of an elongated channel bar, generally positioned in a vertical arrangement and mounted to a substantially stationary member, such as a wall of a structure, the channel bar including a plurality of longitudinally aligned holes disposed in the main rear wall thereof, the front wall having an elongated slot defining oppositely arranged inwardly projecting flanges, whereby access to the holes is provided through the aligned slot; and a fastener member is formed to be removably received in the channel bar wherein a stud member of the fastener is inserted into one of the channel holes. The fastener member includes a locking bar, a main support body and a front mounting bar, the locking bar being arranged to be mounted within the channel bar and rotatably locked therein, wherein a member to be mounted is positioned over the front mounting bar, and held in place between the front wall of the channel member and the front mounting bar when the fastener member is rotated 90.degree.; and wherein the space between the locking bar and mounting bar is equal to the combined thickness of the front wall flanges and the member to be mounted thereon.

Dependent claims

A mounting and securing assembly wherein an object having a keyhole-shaped opening or openings can be adjustably and removably mounted on and secured to a wall or partition, said assembly comprising:

a channel-like member disposed in or attached to said wall or partition and having a rear wall formed with a plurality of aligned juxtapositioned apertures extending longitudinally thereof;
a pair of opposite side walls;
a front wall having a longitudinal slot formed therein, and positioned opposite said apertures, and a pair of flange members formed as part of said front wall and defined by said longitudinal slot, said channel like member having a substantially "C"-shaped cross-sectional configuration;
a fastener member formed to be removably mounted in said channel-like member and including a central main body having a maximum diameter equal to, or less than, the width of said longitudinal slot;
a front locking bar member;
a rear locking bar member wherein said main body is disposed therebetween, said rear locking bar member being received and locked in said channel member when said fastener member is rotated through 90.degree.;
and a rearwardly extending stud member positioned on the rear locking bar to be received in one of said apertures in said channel-like member;
and wherein said front locking bar is formed to extend through a wall of said object having said keyhole-shaped opening formed therein, said object being supported on said central main body and held in engagement with said front wall of said channel like member, wherein a space is defined between said front locking bar and said rear locking bar, the combined thickness of said flanges and said wall of said object to be mounted being equal to the width of said space, and wherein said rear locking bar includes a locking means.
