Abstract:
1. A mounting assembly for mounting a rail to a support surface without penetrating the support surface, comprising: a rail; a base member adapted to be mounted to the support surface via an adhesive located between facing surfaces defined by the base member and the support surface; a height adjustment arrangement between the rail and the base member for varying the elevation of the rail relative to the base member; and a variable position securement arrangement between the rail and the base member, wherein the variable position securement arrangement is separate from the height adjustment arrangement and is configured and arranged to secure the rail to the base member, after the rail is positioned in a desired elevation using the height adjustment arrangement so as to fix the elevation of the rail relative to the base member, wherein the variable position securement arrangement includes one or more securing members that are movable into engagement with the rail after the rail is positioned in the desired elevation using the height adjustment arrangement and that are configured and arranged to prevent vertical movement of the rail when engaged with the rail, to thereafter prevent adjustment in the height of the rail by operation of the height adjustment arrangement.
