Dependent claims

A sink setting system for mounting a sink to a support structure, the system comprising:

first and second channel members, the first channel member having a first bracket portion at a bracket end thereof, the second channel member having a second bracket portion at a bracket end thereof, each of the channel members including a web portion connecting opposed leg portions, and wherein the second channel member is adapted to nest into the first channel member such that the respective web portions are in a facing relationship, along a range of positions to provide a variable length sink support system;
wherein said first and second channel members have clearance bracket regions formed in the respective channel leg portions adjacent their respective bracket ends, and said first and second channel members have clearance regions formed in the respective channel leg portions adjacent distal ends of the channel members from their respective bracket ends;
a plurality of first slots and a plurality of first threaded fastener structures formed in or attached to the web portion of the first channel member;
a plurality of second slots and a plurality of second threaded fastener structures formed in or attached to the web portion of the second channel member;
wherein the plurality of said first slots overlap one or more of said second threaded fastener structures at a plurality of positions in said range of positions, and the plurality of said second slots overlap one or more of said first threaded fastener structures at said plurality of positions;
a plurality of leveling devices adapted for engagement with either said first threaded fastener structure or said second threaded fastener structures;
and
a plurality of fastening devices for fastening said first and second channel members together at a position in said range of positions, said fastening devices adapted to be inserted through one of a first slot or a second slot to fasten said first and second channel members together.
