The mounting clip includes a pair of prongs configured to insert into a pair of holes in the structure and become secured to the structure.
1 . A removable bracket, the removable bracket comprising:
a bracket main body formed from a single piece of material, wherein the bracket main body comprises a first portion and a second portion with a first bend between the first and second portions, and a third portion with a second bend between the second and third portions;
a mounting clip mechanically coupled to the third portion, wherein the mounting clip is configured to mount the bracket main body to a structure by hand; and
a pair of prongs extending from the mounting clip, wherein each of the pair of prongs is configured to insert into a respective one of a pair of holes in the structure.
2 . The removable bracket of claim 1 , comprising a mounting hole through the bracket main body wherein the mounting hole is positioned in the second portion.
3 . The removable bracket of claim 2 , wherein the mounting hole is configured to receive a band which passes through the second portion and wraps around an underside surface of the first portion.
4 . The removable bracket of claim 1 , comprising a pad disposed on a rear portion of the mounting clip, wherein the pad is configured to provide cushioning between the mounting clip and the structure.
5 . The removable bracket of claim 1 , wherein the pair of prongs each include a tabbed end which extends from a respective one of the prongs and are each configured to be received by one of the pair of holes in the structure.
6 . The removable bracket of claim 5 , wherein the tabbed ends extend from the pair of prongs at a third bend, and the third bend has an angle between ninety degrees and one-hundred eighty degrees.
7 . The removable bracket of claim 1 , wherein the first bend has an angle between ninety degrees and one-hundred eighty degrees and the second bend has an angle less than ninety degrees.
8 . The removable bracket of claim 1 , wherein the structure is a lighting rail with holes.
9 . The removable bracket of claim 8 , wherein when inserted through holes of the lighting rail, the tabbed ends contact an inner edge of the lighting rail and the pad contacts a lower edge of the lighting rail.
10 . The removable bracket of claim 1 , wherein a clip is adhered to the first portion and is configured for hanging an item beneath the removable bracket.
11 . A removable bracket, the removable bracket comprising:
a bracket main body configured to support an item when the removable bracket is mounted to a structure;
a mounting clip attached to the bracket main body, wherein the mounting clip comprises:
a pair of prongs configured to insert into a pair of holes in the structure for mounting the bracket main body to the structure;
a pair of tabbed ends extending from an end of each of the prongs, wherein the tabbed ends are bent away from the prongs such that when inserted into the holes in the structure, the tabbed ends contact an inner edge of the structure thereby preventing the prongs from sliding out of the holes.
12 . The removable bracket of claim 11 , wherein the bracket main body includes a first portion and a second portion with a first bend between the first and second portions, and a third portion with a second bend between the second and third portions.
13 . The removable bracket of claim 11 , wherein a pad is attached to the mounting clip and provides cushioning when the mounting clip is mounted to the structure.
14 . The removable bracket of claim 13 , wherein when the tabbed ends are installed into holes of the structure, the bracket main body is rotated upwards and oriented to allow the tabbed ends to insert into the holes and once the tabbed ends are inserted, the bracket main body rotates downward and the pad contacts a lower edge of the structure.
15 . The removable bracket of claim 11 , wherein each of the tabbed ends include a rounded end configured to slide through the holes of the structure.
16 . The removable bracket of claim 12 , wherein the second portion includes a centered mounting hole configured to allow a banded fastener to pass through the second portion and wrap around the first portion.
17 . The removable bracket of claim 12 , wherein when the removable bracket is mounted to the structure, the first bend aligns the first portion substantially horizontally and the second portion is angled upwardly from the first bend to the structure.
18 . The removable bracket of claim 17 , wherein when the structure is disposed beneath an interior ceiling panel and the item is a duct, the duct is secured to the first and second portion of the bracket main body such that the duct is wedged against the interior ceiling panel.
19 . The removable bracket of claim 12 , wherein the bracket main body is formed from a single piece of material.
20 . The removable bracket of claim 12 , wherein the mounting clip is formed from a single piece of material.
