Convertible mounting bracket

摘要

A convertible mounting bracket (100) capable of securement onto load carrier bars (200, 202) of different dimensions is presented. The bracket (100) can include an elongate first jaw body (102), elongate second jaw body (110), and a flip-connector (130). The flip-connector (130) can be interconnected to a first end (112) of the second jaw body (110) by a pivot connection (140). In a first orientation (152) of the second jaw body (110), a first (120) of at least two load bar engaging surfaces (121, 123) of the second jaw body (110) is facing a load bar engaging surface (108) of the first jaw body (102). In a second orientation (154) of the second jaw body (110), a second (122) of the at least two load bar engaging surfaces (121, 123) of the second jaw body (110) is facing the load bar engaging surface (108) of the first jaw body (102).

主权项

1. A convertible mounting bracket capable of securement onto load carrier bars of different dimensions, the bracket comprising:
an elongate first jaw body having a first end opposite a second end; the first jaw body having a load bar engaging surface; an elongate second jaw body having a first end opposite a second end; the second jaw body having at least two load bar engaging surfaces on opposite sides of the second jaw body and a flip-connector coupled between the first ends of each of the first and second jaw bodies; the flip-connector being interconnected to the first end of the second jaw body by a pivot connection, the pivot connection accommodating approximately 180 degree pivotation of the second jaw body about the pivot connection between first and second orientations of the second jaw body and wherein, in the first orientation of the second jaw body a first of the at least two load bar engaging surfaces of the second jaw body is facing the load bar engaging surface of the first jaw body and in the second orientation of the second jaw body a second of the at least two load bar engaging surfaces of the second jaw body is facing the load bar engaging surface of the first jaw body and thereby accommodating securement of the convertible mounting bracket onto load carrier bars of different dimensions.
