Quick adjust support system with trapped or integral wedge

摘要

A support system includes a support post (112) and support means for adjustably supporting a member to the support post (112). The support means includes a locking mechanism (118) movable between a first position for press-fitting the support means, directly or indirectly, against the support post (112) and a second position for releasing the press-fitting. The locking mechanism (118) has a surface that abuts the support post (112), or a wedge member (200) associated with the support post (112), when in the first position thereby to effect the press-fitting and that is released from the support post (112) when moved to the second position to release the press-fitting.
