Adjustable mounting bracket
First Claim
1. An adjustable mounting bracket, comprising:
- a pair of bracket members each defining a mounting plate, and a clamp jaw plate oriented angularly relative to said mounting plate;
at least one retainer for retaining said bracket members in generally nested relation with said mounting plates slidably interfitted and with said clamp jaw plates slidably separable;
said clamp jaw plates respectively defining an adjustably spaced pair of facing surfaces for seating firmly against opposite sides of a substrate edge for mounting the bracket onto the substrate edge; and
means for mounting a selected structure to the bracket, whereby said bracket supports the selected structure relative to the substrate edge.

Abstract
An adjustable mounting bracket for secure mounting as by adhesive attachment onto an exposed edge of a substrate, wherein the mounting bracket is adapted for quick and easy subsequent mounting of a selected structure such as tubing, wire bundles, etc., relative to the substrate. The adjustable mounting bracket includes a pair of slidably interfitting, generally L-shaped bracket members which cooperatively define a slidably overlying pair of mounting plates and an associated pair of slidably separable clamp jaw plates. The slidably interfitting mounting plates accommodate adjustable spaced-apart separation of the clamp jaw plates to seat firmly against opposed surfaces of the substrate edge, such as mounting onto a rib protruding from the substrate or mounting onto an inner diameter edge of an opening formed in the substrate.

23. An adjustable mounting bracket, comprising:
-
an upper bracket member defining a first mounting plate, and a first clamp jaw plate oriented generally normal to said first mounting plate;
a lower bracket member second mounting plate, and a second clamp jaw plate oriented generally normal to said second mounting plate;
means for retaining said upper and lower bracket members in generally nested relation with said first and second mounting plates slidably interfitted and with said first and second clamp jaw plates slidably separable;
said first and second clamp jaw plates respectively defining an adjustably spaced pair of first and second facing surfaces for seating firmly against opposite sides of a substrate edge for mounting the bracket onto the substrate edge; and
means for mounting a selected structure to the bracket, whereby said bracket supports the selected structure relative to the substrate edge. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)
