Abstract
A telescoping wall mount includes two long structural bars (1) and (6) having specific lengths and that are coupled together telescopically. The first bar (1) has a cross section similar to an open rectangle with wings (4) on the open side, each wing terminating with a U-shaped inwardly bent edge (5). The second structural bar (6) is made to be housed and to run inside the first bar. The second bar (6) has a cross section similar to an open rectangle with the wings (7) housed inside the U-shaped edges (5) of the first structural bar and sized so as to avoid transversal slack.
Claims5
A telescoping mount for a wall, comprising:
- a first structural bar having two opposing parallel surfaces of sheet metal constructed to mount a panel, said two parallel surfaces being joined at one side by a sheet metal surface and at the other side by a sheet metal surface with a lengthwise first opening, said first opening having edges that each fold inwardly to form a U-shape that is open toward a respective one of said two parallel surfaces of said first bar;
- a second structural bar sized to fit within said first bar and having two opposing parallel surfaces of sheet metal constructed to mount the panel, said two parallel surfaces of said second bar being joined at one side by a sheet metal surface and at the other side by a sheet metal surface with a lengthwise second opening, said second opening having edges that extend towards each other across said second opening,
- said edges of said second bar being of a length so that said two parallel surfaces of said second bar are urged against corresponding ones of said two parallel surfaces of said first bar when said second bar is inserted into said first bar with said edges of said second opening inserted into and urged against a bottom of said U-shape edges of said first opening;
- and
- a gripping member extended outwardly from one of said first and second bars for moving said one bar relative to the other of said bars.
