Concealed bracket mounting arrangement

Abstract

The present invention is a concealed bracket wall mounting arrangement. The disadvantage of axial spinning and disengagement present in prior art concealed bracket mountings is eliminated by the disclosed mounting arrangement. A mounting bracket having angled walls for mounting on a generally flat surface is disclosed. A fixture base is disclosed that engages with the walls of the mounting bracket at multiple positions to prevent spinning and disengagement of the mounting base.

1 . A concealed mounting arrangement comprising:
 a mounting bracket having at least three walls, one of which is angled, and an interior portion that separates the walls and defines at least one aperture; and   a fixture base having a face and a back portion, wherein the back portion includes a sloped protrusion for engaging the angled wall in a complimentary fashion, and opposed stabilizing protrusions that engage the remaining walls and resist rotation of the fixture base on the bracket.   
   
   
       2 . The concealed mounting arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the fixture base further comprises a set screw protrusion for engaging one of the remaining walls via a set screw. 
   
   
       3 . The concealed mounting arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket is thermoplastic. 
   
   
       4 . The concealed mounting arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket is notched to receive the stabilizing protrusions of the fixture base. 
   
   
       5 . A concealed mounting arrangement comprising;
 a generally rectangular bracket, wherein the bracket has at least one aperture through which the bracket is mountable to a generally flat surface, four walls angled away from the flat surface; and   a fixture base having a inwardly sloped protrusion for engaging a first of said walls, a set screw protrusion for engaging a second of said walls opposite said first wall by way of a set screw, and two opposing stabilizing protrusions for engaging said remaining two walls.   
   
   
       6 . The concealed mounting arrangement of  claim 5 , wherein the bracket is thermoplastic. 
   
   
       7 . The concealed mounting arrangement of  claim 5 , wherein the bracket is notched to receive the stabilizing protrusions of the fixture base.
