Abstract

Road and curb partition bracket assembly comprise front and rear clamp brackets and a channel mounting bracket. Each partition bracket is drawn together by a bolt across a respective vehicle B-pillar for mounting a partition across an interior of a vehicle. The mounting of the partition bracket assembly with the partition attached is accomplished without disturbing an exterior or an interior of the B-pillars, or any contents therein on either side of the vehicle.

Claims (21)

1. A partition bracket assembly, comprising:

a front clamp bracket comprising a planar rearwardly extending portion and a leading portion, wherein said leading portion is connected to a front door seal channel opening in a first direction and said rearwardly extending portion is connected to a rear flange;

a channel mounting bracket comprising two planar tabs separated from one another by a gap and said rear flange, said tabs being connected to a transverse downwardly extending portion via a radiused portion, said channel mounting bracket having a fastener flange extending parallel and planar with said downwardly extending portion; and

a rear clamp bracket comprising three legs and a rear door seal channel opening in a second direction opposite the first direction.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said front door seal channel is comprised of a first component, a second component and a third component wherein said first and second components are parallel one another but nonplanar with respect to one another and the third component is transverse said first and second components.

3. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein a rearward directed lip is connected to said second component, wherein said rearward directed lip is at least partially parallel said second component but nonplanar therewith.

4. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein said first and second components are parallel but not co-planar with said rearwardly extending portion.

5. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein said second component transitions to a lip oriented in a direction opposite the front door seal channel.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said rearwardly extending portion is substantially transverse said leading portion, wherein said rearwardly extending portion is connected to said leading portion by a curvilinear transition portion.

7. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said rear flange is oriented transverse said rearwardly extending portion, said rear flange having an aperture centered therein, said rear flange having slots on either side of the rear flange.

8. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said fastener flange has a fastener aperture centered therein.

9. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said downwardly extending portion having at least one aperture aligned with one tab and another at least one aperture aligned with the other tab.

10. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said three legs comprise a second leg that is transverse first and third legs, wherein said first and third legs are parallel but not planar with one another.

11. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said rear door seal channel comprises three components wherein a first of said three components is the third leg, wherein said first and third components are parallel but non-planar with one another and said second component is transverse said first and third components.

12. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said third component transitions to a flange and lip oriented in an opposite direction to said rear door seal channel.

13. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein a fastener having a square end is located in a rear flange aperture, which has a complementary square shape, said fastener located in said fastener aperture of the fastener flange.

14. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said front door seal channel and said rear door seal channel are coplanar.

15. A partition bracket assembly, comprising:

a front clamp bracket comprising a planar rearwardly extending portion and a leading portion, wherein said leading portion is connected to a front door seal channel and said rearwardly extending portion is connected to a rear flange;

a channel mounting bracket comprising two planar tabs, said tabs connected to a transverse downwardly extending portion, said channel mounting bracket having a fastener flange, wherein a lower surface of said tabs is in direct overlapping contact with an upper surface of the rearwardly extending portion, wherein said tabs are partially located within slots of the rear flange; and

a rear clamp bracket comprising a plurality of legs and a rear door seal channel, wherein an outside surface of a leg of said rear clamp bracket is in direct overlapping contact with an inside surface of the downwardly extending portion.
