Claim:
1. A mounting assembly comprising: a mounting bracket comprising a substantially planar panel defining a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, a first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface, and wherein the substantially planar panel defines a tapered slot open at the first edge, extending from the first edge toward the second edge, and terminating in a slot apex opposite the first edge, the mounting bracket further includes a flange and a coupling lip, the flange extends away from the second edge of the substantially planar panel, and the coupling lip extends away from the second edge opposite the substantially planar panel in a manner substantially parallel to the substantially planar panel; and a bracket receptor comprising an annular projection and a shaft extending from the annular projection, the annular projection extending beyond one or more sides of the shaft; and wherein the shaft of the bracket receptor is selectively positioned within the slot apex of the mounting bracket such that the annular projection of the bracket receptor is positioned adjacent the first surface of the substantially planar panel and the shaft of the bracket receptor extends beyond the second surface of the substantially planar panel, and wherein the bracket receptor further comprises a plate extending about the shaft and spaced from the annular projection such that, when the shaft of the bracket receptor is positioned within the slot apex, the plate is positioned adjacent the second surface of the substantially planar panel, wherein a bracket reception zone is defined between the plate and the annular projection for receiving the mounting bracket via the slot apex.
