Claim:
A threaded connecting mechanism for securing a structure to a support and adjusting the position of the structure relative to the support, said structure including a mounting member with a mounting opening formed therein, said connecting mechanism comprising: a one piece, elongate anchor member having a passageway formed therein and an expanded bottom end section, said passageway extending to an end of the anchor member and being threaded for at least a portion of its length; an elongate, one-piece connecting member having first and second opposite ends, a relatively wide section spaced from said opposite ends, a relatively narrow, externally threaded first section extending from a first side of said wide section to the first end, and a relatively narrow, externally threaded second section extending from an opposite second side of the wide section to said second end, said relatively wide section being integrally connected to the externally threaded first and second sections, said first section being threadable into said passageway in order to secure the connecting member to said anchor member, said second section being adapted and sized for insertion through said mounting opening in order to mount said mounting member on said opposite second side of the wide section and being formed with a turning formation for turning said connecting member about a central longitudinal axis thereof, said turning formation being located at said second end; and a threaded nut threadable onto said second section in order to secure said mounting member of the structure to the connecting member, wherein, during use of the connecting mechanism, said turning formation is engageable with a turning tool in order to thread said connecting member into or out of said passageway and thereby adjust the position of the structure.
