主权项 1. A method for securing a device to a mounting mechanism, comprising: A) providing a mounting mechanism comprising: a support member;at least two rails attached to the support member, each rail comprising: a plurality of rail holes for stud engagement disposed along the rail;a first side facing the device to be engaged to the mounting mechanism; anda second side;a pair of fasteners respectively affixed to the second side of each of the rails, each fastener comprising: a clamping arm; anda clamp lever pivotally associated with the clamping arm, wherein rotation of the clamp lever in a first direction moves the clamping arm clear of the rail, allowing the device to be disengaged from the mounting mechanism, and wherein rotation of the clamp lever in a second direction moves the clamping arm in locking engagement with the rail;and a moveable locking latch serving each pair of fasteners, each moveable locking latch securing the clamp levers of the respective pair of fasteners in one of two positions: open and closed; B) setting the fasteners to an open position by releasing the moveable locking latch, thereby causing each clamping arm to swing to an open position; C) affixing the device to the first sides of at least two rails with the fasteners in the open position; D) positioning the fasteners to grab the second side of the respective rails; E) setting the fasteners to a closed position, thereby providing clamping forces on the respective rails; and F) securing the device to the rails, thus preventing movement of the device in the x, y, and z directions.
