Cover retainer for concrete block wall opening

摘要

Apparatus for retaining a cover over a view port in a concrete block comprises a generally T-shaped bracket having a cross-arm and a support arm. The support arm extends generally perpendicularly from about a mid-point of the cross-arm. The cross-arm is generally longer than a width of the view port such that the cross-arm will not pass through the view port when the cross-arm is oriented in an operative position in alignment with the width of the port. A fastening area is formed on at least a portion of the support arm for passing through an aperture in the view port cover. A fastener is adjustably positionable on the fastening area for retaining the cover in compression against the block when the cross-arm is inserted in the view port in the operative position. The fastening area may be threaded for a wing nut or be adapted for receiving a push-nut.
