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 1):
A system for mounting a wall panel to a wall frame, comprising:\n first and second mounting brackets, each mounting bracket including:\n a wall mounting portion defining a plane and configured to be fixed to a wall frame, and \n a pair of opposing parallel members extending perpendicularly away from the plane of the wall mounting portion and defining a narrow receiving channel; \n an adjustable wall panel support mechanism including:\n an elongated body portion having a planar member configured to fit within the receiving channels of the mounting brackets, with the planar member sandwiched between the opposing parallel members, and a pair of side portions extending in opposite directions perpendicular to the planar member; \n a top plate configured to be rigidly attached to one end of the body portion; \n a first elongated adjustment member passing through a first aperture in the top plate and extending toward the first mounting bracket; \n a first coupling bracket attached in threaded engagement with the first adjustment member and attached in unthreaded engagement with the first mounting bracket; \n a second elongated adjustment member passing through a second aperture in the top plate and extending toward the second mounting bracket; and \n a second coupling bracket attached in threaded engagement with the second adjustment member and attached in unthreaded engagement with the second mounting bracket; and \n a wall panel attachment member operatively coupled to the wall panel support mechanism and configured to support a wall panel; wherein rotation of the first adjustment member causes the body portion to move toward or away from the plane defined by the wall mounting portion of the first mounting bracket, and rotation of the second adjustment member causes the body portion to move toward or away from the plane defined by the wall mounting portion of the second mounting bracket.
