Wall mounting bracket with slidable wing

Abstract

A wall mounting bracket apparatus and system is provided. The apparatus and system has a body and a slidable wing that slides along the body and mates with the discrete attachment positions along the body. The body may have a perimeter and a corresponding opening. It is also contemplated that the body may have a perimeter that is of a different shape than the opening or plurality of openings within the perimeter. The opening area preferably have an area of at least 20 in 2 and the body has a perimeter-opening distance of less than 1 inch and at least one entry position with markings. Furthermore, the mating portion-opening distance of bracket is less than 0.9 in. The preferred embodiment includes a commercial product comprising the bracket with a body, the slidable wing in which the wing can be pre-attached to the body or not.

1 . An apparatus for mounting of a device, the apparatus comprising:
 at least a body portion and a wing portion;   whereby the wing portion is moveable about the body portion;   an attachment portion for attachment of the wing portion to the body portion.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion has at least a first attachment point and a second attachment point. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body has a plurality of sides. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body has an outside edge. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion has a second attachment point on the side of the body, at which the wing can be alternatively positioned with respect to the body. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body is constructed from plastic. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body is constructed from a substantially rigid material. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the body is constructed from metal, nonmetal, and other suitably rigid material. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body is configured to accommodate a plurality of sized and dimensioned devices. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body has a perimeter, and defines an opening which accommodates a plurality of different sized and dimensioned devices to be held. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body has a plurality of openings. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body has at least a first entry position. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the wing slides onto the body via an entry position and attaches to the attachment portion. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one locking mechanism on the body. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising at least one locking mechanism wherein the locking mechanism has a locking clip attached to the wing that is removably attached to the body. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the wing has a lip that slides onto a receiving slot opening on the body. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the wing is pre-attached to the body. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the wing is removably attachable to the body of the mounting apparatus.
