HORIZONTALLY ADJUSTABLE FIXTURE ATTACHMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A horizontally adjustable fixture attachment system comprises a main body panel including a first aperture. A fixture for mounting on the main body panel and has a first tenon member with a shaft portion terminating in an enlarged head portion. A locking plate has a horizontally extending first lower slot portion dimensioned to permit the head portion of the first tenon member to pass therethrough, and has a first upper slot portion extending from the first lower slot portion and horizontally dimensioned to receive the shaft portion of the first tenon member in horizontally close-fitting vertically sliding relation therewithin and to preclude passage of the head portion of the first tenon member therethrough. A latching means is mounted on the locking plate for frictional engagement of the head portion of the first tenon member as the shaft portion vertically moves towards the upper end of the first upper slot portion corresponding to the locking plate being vertically moved relative to the fixture and to the main body panel from the unlocked configuration to the locked configuration. The frictional engagement holds the first tenon member in vertically unmovable relation thereby to preclude movement of the fixture and the locking plate with respect to each other. A contact mechanism precludes horizontal movement of the locking plate and the fixture relative to the main body panel. -39-
