Abstract:
A system for mounting wall panels to a wall frame or other surface, and methods for assembling and using such a system. The disclosed system may include a plurality of mounting brackets, an adjustable wall panel support mechanism coupled to the mounting brackets, and a wall panel attachment member such as a hook plate. The position and orientation of the wall panel attachment member relative to the mounting brackets may be precisely adjusted, allowing fine adjustments in the position and orientation of a wall panel after the wall panel has been installed.

Claim (Index 8):
A system for mounting a wall panel to a wall frame, comprising:\n a plurality of mounting brackets, each including:\n a substantially planar wall mounting portion configured to be fixed to a wall frame, and \n a pair of opposing parallel members extending away from wall mounting portion in a direction perpendicular to a plane defined by the wall mounting portion and defining a narrow channel; \n an adjustable wall panel support mechanism, including:\n an elongated body portion having a fin-like planar member extending along the body portion and configured to fit within the channels of each of the mounting brackets, with the planar member sandwiched between and in contact with the opposing parallel members of each of the mounting brackets; \n a top plate configured to be rigidly attached to one end of the body portion; \n a plurality of elongated adjustment members each passing through the top plate and extending toward a corresponding one of the mounting brackets; and \n a plurality of coupling brackets each attached in threaded engagement with one of the adjustment members and in unthreaded engagement with the corresponding mounting bracket; and \n a wall panel attachment member operatively attached to the body portion and configured to support the wall panel; wherein rotation of each adjustment member relative to the corresponding coupling bracket causes the body portion to move toward or away from the plane defined by the wall mounting portion of the corresponding mounting bracket, and is thereby configured to cause a corresponding region of the wall panel to move toward or away from the wall frame.
