Post Mounting System and Device

摘要

A post mounting system includes a post and at least one device for mounting to the post. The post includes a first elongate flange and at least one other elongate flange projecting from a proximal edge of the first flange. A portion of the first flange is deformed to facilitate mounting of the device. The device is located at a given position along the first flange. Upon being located in the given position, the device interacts with the deformed portion to resist lateral movement away from the first flange. The device can include a body and projections that define a recess. Remote ends of the projections are spaced from each other by a distance that is less than a lateral width of the deformed portion. The device can be positioned onto the post and receive the deformed portion in the recess to enable mounting of the device.

主权项

1. A post mounting system comprising a post and at least one device for mounting to the post:
the post being of a type that comprises a first elongate flange that defines a stalk of the post, and at least two other elongate projecting flanges that each project from a proximal edge of the stalk, with a portion of the stalk being deformed relative to a remainder of the stalk to facilitate mounting of the device thereto; the device comprising a body and projecting arms extending from opposite sides thereof such that, upon being located at a given position along the stalk, the device is able to be pushed on to the deformed portion, so that the projecting arms are caused to deflect and flex to snap onto, and interact with, the deformed portion of the stalk, without being secured to the other flanges of the post so as to resist lateral movement away from the stalk.
