Patent ID: 8727287

Claim:
An apparatus adapted for securing to a bracket having an open-ended slot comprising: an elongate member defining a first longitudinal axis extending along a length thereof; and a fitting assembly attached to said elongate member for securing said elongate member to the bracket, said fitting assembly comprising: a first fitting member having a second longitudinal axis extending along a length of said first fitting member and aligning with said first longitudinal axis, with said first fitting member having a bore centered about said second longitudinal axis and having said elongate member coaxially extending through said bore, and said first fitting member adapted for movement relative to the bracket in a direction lateral to said second longitudinal axis; and a second fitting member adapted for receipt into the open end of the slot and fixed engagement with the bracket through movement relative to the bracket in a direction lateral to said second longitudinal axis; said first and second fitting members having first and second spaced positions relative to each other in a direction lateral to said first and second longitudinal axes with an axis defined by said lateral direction of said first and second fitting members intersecting said first and second longitudinal axes, and said first and second fitting members being simultaneously constrained against relative movement along said first and second longitudinal axes, said first and second fitting members being connected together when in both said first and second positions, and said first and second fitting members being substantially immovable relative to each other in said lateral direction relative to said first and second longitudinal axes when in said second position.
