Abstract
A mounting bracket for use in mounting quick connect circuit blocks to a wall or pipe comprising a pair of flanges for attachment of the bracket to the wall, a block supporting beam for supporting the circuit block, the block supporting beam being parallel to and spaced from the flanges by connecting webs. A pair of dowel-like protrusions project from the center of the beam and provide a fixed point about which the terminal block can be suspended and allowed to pendulate and come to rest in a vertical position. A method of mounting the bracket is disclosed wherein a first bracket is leveled and mounted on a wall, a second bracket is affixed to a first circuit block, and the first circuit block is suspended from one of the dowel-like protrusions and allowed to pendulate and to come to rest in a vertical position. The circuit block is then affixed to the first bracket and the second bracket is affixed to the wall. If more than one circuit block is to be mounted, the dowel-like protrusion on the second bracket provides a fixed point about which a second circuit block can pendulate. The mounting procedure can be repeated with a number of circuit blocks and only one bracket must be leve…
