Abstract:
1. A cantilever mounting for connecting a member to a structure, comprises: (A) a pair of receivers, each attachable to the structure with a spacing there between, each receiver having a recess and an abutment surface spaced there from; (B) a pair of inserters, each attachable to the member, each inserter having an insertion leg and an abutment support spaced there from, the insertion leg insertable into the recess of the receiver, the abutment support capable of resting upon the abutment surface when the insertion leg is in the recess, the weight of the member attached to the inserter capable of pulling the abutment support down into engagement with the abutment surface and rotating the insertion leg up into engagement with the recess, holding the member at a given orientation relative to the structure, a first of the pair of inserters attachable to one side of the member and a second of the pair of inserters attachable to another side of the member, the insertion legs of the first inserter and the second inserter extending distal to the member, the insertion leg of the first inserter extending in a direction opposite to the insertion leg of the second inserter, the spacing of the pair of receivers approximating the width of the member to allow the member to be positioned between the pair of receivers with the insertion legs of the first and second inserters engaging the recesses of a first and a second of the pair of receivers, respectively, to hold the member at the given orientation relative to the structure, each receiver having an upright portion, an upper bracket and a lower bracket extending from the upright portion, the upper bracket and lower bracket being spaced from each other to define a slot there between that communicates with the recess, the upper bracket having a depending block spaced from the upright portion by the recess, the lower bracket having a floor extending from the upright portion to proximate the abutment surface, the slots of the spaced receivers capable of cooperating with the insertion legs of the inserters to support the member in a pendulous orientation when the insertion legs are positioned therein at a position distal to the recess, each of the insertion legs of the pair of inserters capable of traversing a corresponding slot of the pair of receivers from the position distal to the recess to the recess and of rotating in the slot.
