Patent ID: 8091852

Claim:
A method for securing and aligning an object on a substantially vertical support comprising: a) taking a substantially flat single-piece bracket having front and back sides and a body having first and second portions wherein 1) the first portion of said bracket body has one or more fastener openings for attaching said bracket to an object by inserting fasteners through said one or more fastener openings from the back side of the bracket and a concave support edge for supporting said bracket on support hardware extending from said substantially vertical support and 2) the second portion of said bracket body has one or more fastener openings for attaching said bracket to said substantially vertical support by inserting a fastener through said one or more fastener openings from the front side of the bracket and 3) wherein said second portion of said bracket extends away from said first portion such that said one or more fastener openings extend beyond the outer edge of the object to easily allow aligned of said bracket on said vertical support and easily allow attachment of said bracket to said substantially vertical support by inserting a fastener through said one or more fastener opening from the front side of the bracket; b) positioning the bracket over a cavity in the backside of the object such that the concave support edge is positioned within the circumference of the cavity to allow the concave support edge to be positioned on support hardware extending from said substantially vertical support and allowing said support hardware to extend into the cavity; c) positioning the bracket such that one or more fastener openings located in the second portion of the bracket extend beyond the outer edge of the object; d) fastening the bracket to the object by inserting fastening means through the fastener openings located in the first portion from the back of the bracket; e) placing the concave support edge of the bracket on the support means extending from the substantially vertical support so that said support hardware extends into the cavity; f) aligning the object on the substantially vertical support as desired; and g) inserting fastening means from the front side of the bracket through the one or more exposed fastener openings located in the elongated second portion of the bracket and into the substantially vertical support.
