Abstract

A mounting mechanism for supporting an accessory on a slatwall includes a mounting bracket including a body portion having first and second ends each configured to be received and retained within the channel of a respective groove in the slatwall. The mounting bracket extends between first and second ends and includes a central region defining a central opening. The mechanism also optionally includes a bezel retained within the central opening and a latch at least partially disposed within the central opening and pivotally coupled to the mounting bracket and moveable between retaining and release positions. The mechanism includes a biasing member coupled to the latch configured to bias the latch in the retaining position. The latch is configured to engage the channel of a second groove when the mounting bracket is disposed within the first groove and when the latch is in the retaining position.

Claims (36)

1 . A mounting mechanism configured to support an accessory on a slatwall, the slatwall defining a plurality of spaced apart grooves, with each of the plurality of grooves defining a channel, said mounting mechanism comprising:

a mounting bracket having a body portion extending between a first end and a second end with said first end configured for receipt and retention within the channel of a first one of the plurality of grooves and with said second end spaced from said first end and with said body portion defining an opening,

a latch at least partially disposed within said opening and pivotally coupled to said mounting bracket and moveable between a retaining position and a release position,

a bezel retained within said opening of said mounting bracket, with said latch pivotally coupled to said mounting bracket through said bezel, and

a biasing member coupled to said latch for biasing said latch to said retaining position,

wherein said latch is configured to engage the channel of a second one of the plurality of grooves when said mounting bracket is disposed within the channel of the first one of the plurality of grooves and when said latch is in said retaining position.

2 . The mounting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein said second end of said mounting bracket is configured to engage the channel of the second one of the plurality of grooves when said mounting bracket is disposed within the channel of the first one of the plurality of grooves and when said latch is engaged within the channel of the second one of the plurality of grooves when said latch is in said retaining position.

3 . The mounting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein said latch includes a base portion and a flange portion extending from said base portion with said flange portion configured to engage the channel of the second one of the plurality of grooves.

4 . The mounting mechanism of claim 3 , wherein said flange portion is adjacent to said second end of said mounting bracket.

5 . The mounting mechanism of claim 3 , wherein said latch further includes a lip extending transverse from said flange portion opposite said base portion.

6 . The mounting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein said bezel includes a top edge portion, a bottom edge portion, and a pair of spaced apart sidewall portions defining a bezel opening with said latch disposed within said bezel opening.

7 . The mounting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein said mounting mechanism further comprises a pivot pin mounted to said bezel with said latch pivotally mounted to said pivot pin.

8 . The mounting mechanism of claim 7 , wherein said biasing member is disposed about said pivot pin.

9 . The mounting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein said latch includes a stop to restrict rotation of said latch when said stop engages said bezel.

10 . The mounting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein said body portion further defines an accessory opening spaced from said opening,

wherein said mounting mechanism further comprises said accessory coupled to said body portion, said accessory including a retaining feature and a hooking feature extending from said retaining feature, and

wherein said retaining feature is configured to be positioned between said body portion and the slatwall and wherein said body portion is configured to be positioned between said hooking feature and the slatwall when the mounting mechanism is mounted to the slatwall.

11 . The mounting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein said body portion defines a pair of spaced apart accessory openings each spaced from said opening,

wherein said mounting mechanism further comprises said accessory coupled to said body portion, said accessory including a retaining feature and a pair of hooking features extending from opposite ends of said retaining feature, and

wherein each one of said pair of hooking features extends through a respective one of said pair of spaced apart accessory openings with said retaining feature configured to be positioned between said body portion and the slatwall when the mounting mechanism is mounted to the slatwall.

12 . A system comprising:

a slatwall defining a plurality of spaced apart grooves, with each of the plurality of grooves defining a channel; and

a mounting mechanism reversibly mounted to said slatwall and configured to support an accessory on said slatwall, said mounting mechanism comprising:

a mounting bracket having a body portion extending between a first end and a second end with said first end configured for receipt and retention within the channel of a first one of the plurality of grooves and with said second end spaced from said first end and with said body portion defining an opening,

a latch at least partially disposed within said opening and pivotally coupled to said mounting bracket and moveable between a retaining position and a release position,

a bezel retained within said opening of said mounting bracket, with said latch pivotally coupled to said mounting bracket through said bezel, and

a biasing member coupled to said latch for biasing said latch to said retaining position,

wherein said latch is configured to engage the channel of a second one of the plurality of grooves when said mounting bracket is disposed within the channel of the first one of the plurality of grooves and when said latch is in said retaining position.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein said second end of said mounting bracket is configured to engage the channel of the second one of the plurality of grooves when said mounting bracket is disposed within the channel of the first one of the plurality of grooves and when said latch is engaged within the channel of the second one of the plurality of grooves.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein said latch includes a base portion and a flange portion extending from said base portion and a lip extending transverse from said flange portion opposite said base portion;

wherein said lip is disposed and retained within said channel of said second one of the plurality of grooves when said first end of said mounting bracket is within said channel of said first one of said plurality of grooves and when said latch is in said retaining position, and

wherein said lip is not retained within said channel of said second one of said plurality of grooves when said first end of said mounting bracket is within said channel of said first one of said plurality of grooves and when said latch is in said release position.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein said body portion further defines an accessory opening spaced from said opening,

wherein said mounting mechanism further comprises the accessory coupled to said body portion, the accessory including a retaining feature and at least one hooking feature extending from said retaining feature, and

wherein said retaining feature is positioned between said body portion and the slatwall and wherein said body portion is positioned between said at least one hooking feature and the slatwall when the mounting mechanism is mounted to the slatwall.

16 . The system of claim 12 , wherein said latch includes a stop to restrict rotation of said latch when said stop engages said bezel.
