Abstract
A method of height adjusting a hanger bolt with a threaded shaft and side flats in a threaded retainer of a bogey proceeds by rotating the bolt to adjust the axial position and height of the bolt relative to the retainer. A keeper of a lock mechanism housed within a body of the bogey is slid into an engaged position against flats of the bolt in order to prevent further rotation of the bolt relative to the retainer.
Claims5
A method of height adjusting a hanger bolt with a threaded shaft and side flats in a threaded retainer of a bogey including rotating the bolt to adjust the axial position and height of the bolt relative to the retainer and sliding a keeper of a lock mechanism housed within a body of the bogey into an engaged position against the flats of the bolt in order to prevent further rotation of the bolt relative to the retainer, wherein the keeper slides laterally into engagement with the side flats of the bolt from a housing formed in a base of the bogey body, and wherein the keeper is held in the engaged position with an actuator button that is mounted to the keeper and biased using a biasing means into an enlarged aperture of a guide slot formed in a cover plate positioned over the housing.
A bogey for supporting a hanger bolt with a threaded shaft and side flats, the bogey including a body with a threaded retainer, for screw threaded engagement and height adjustment of the bolt by rotation and resultant axial movement of the bolt relative to the retainer, and a lock mechanism mounted in a housing at a base of the body to engage the side flats of the bolt, to restrict axial movement of the bolt resulting from relative rotation between the bolt and the retainer, wherein the lock mechanism includes a keeper arranged to slide into an engaged position against the flats of the bolt, in order to lock the bolt against relative rotation, wherein the keeper is arranged to slide laterally within the housing, and wherein the lock mechanism further includes a cover plate that captures the keeper against the body and wherein the cover plate includes an elongate guide slot to receive an actuator button that is coupled to the keeper and slides along the slot as the keeper slides into engagement with the flats of the bolt.
