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 14):
A system for adjustably mounting a wall panel to a wall frame, comprising:\n at least two mounting brackets, each including:\n a wall mounting portion configured to be fixed to the wall frame, and \n at least one receiving member extending perpendicularly away from the wall mounting portion; \n an adjustable wall panel support mechanism, including:\n an elongated body portion having a planar member extending along the body portion and configured to fit flush against the receiving members of each of the mounting brackets; \n a top plate configured to be rigidly attached to one end of the body portion; \n at least two elongated adjustment members, each passing through the top plate and each extending toward a corresponding one of the mounting brackets; and \n at least two coupling brackets, each attached in threaded engagement with a corresponding one of the adjustment members and in unthreaded engagement with a corresponding one of the mounting brackets; and \n a hook plate 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 a plane defined by the wall mounting portion of the corresponding mounting bracket, and is thereby configured to cause a corresponding region of a mounted wall panel to move toward or away from the wall frame.
