Adjustable face plate mounting system and method of use
View Patent ↗Disclosed is an adjustable face plate mounting system for adjusting the position of a face plate attached to a pantry pullout apparatus. The system comprises a slotted bracket adjustably attached to the face plate, a standoff assembly attached to the pantry pullout apparatus and slidably engaged with the slotted bracket, a fastener fixedly attached to the pantry pullout apparatus, and a set crew movable within the fastener and abutting the slotted bracket. A first embodiment of the standoff assembly includes a pair of standoffs and coordinating removable fasteners. Another embodiment of the standoff assembly includes a single standoff and fastener paired with a pin. The face plate is adjustable in three dimensions with respect to the pantry pullout apparatus and surrounding cabinets.
1. A mounting system for adjustably attaching a face plate to a cabinet piece comprising:
a first mounting hole in the cabinet piece and a second mounting hole in the cabinet piece, where the first mounting hole is spaced from the second mounting hole a distance;
a bracket defining a slot and an attachment hole;
a standoff assembly slidably engaged with the slot and inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole;
the face plate attached to the bracket with a first fastener through the attachment hole; and
wherein the standoff assembly comprises a first standoff mounted in the first mounting hole;
a bolt removably engaged with the first standoff; and,
a pin mounted in the second mounting hole.
2. A mounting system for adjustably attaching a face plate to a cabinet piece comprising:
a first mounting hole in the cabinet piece and a second mounting hole in the cabinet piece, where the first mounting hole is spaced from the second mounting hole a distance;
a bracket defining a slot and an attachment hole;
a standoff assembly slidably engaged with the slot and inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole;
the face plate attached to the bracket with a first fastener through the attachment hole; and
wherein the standoff assembly comprises a first standoff spaced apart the distance from a second standoff;
a first bolt removably engaged with the first standoff; and,
a second bolt removably engaged with the second standoff.
3. The adjustable mounting system of claim 2 further comprising:
a first lateral position of the face plate relative to the cabinet piece when the standoff assembly is in a first position along the slot; and,
a second lateral position of the face plate relative to the cabinet piece when the standoff assembly is in a second position along the slot.
4. The adjustable mounting system of claim 2 further comprising:
a first vertical position of the face plate relative to the cabinet piece when the first fastener is in a first position within the attachment hole; and,
a second vertical position of the face plate relative to the cabinet piece when the first fastener is in a second position within the attachment hole.
5. A mounting system for adjustably attaching a face plate to a cabinet piece comprising:
a first mounting hole in the cabinet piece and a second mounting hole in the cabinet piece, where the first mounting hole is spaced from the second mounting hole a distance;
a bracket defining a slot and an attachment hole;
a standoff assembly slidably engaged with the slot and inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole;
the face plate attached to the bracket with a first fastener through the attachment hole;
a bore hole through the cabinet piece;
a second fastener fixedly attached to the cabinet piece in the bore hole;
a set screw removably engaged with the second fastener and adjacent the bracket;
a first depth position of the face plate relative to the cabinet piece when the set screw is in a first position within the second fastener; and,
a second depth position of the face plate relative to the cabinet piece when the set screw is in a second position within the second fastener.
