Abstract

An anchor plate is arranged for cooperation with an underlying mounting plate to position a cabinet therebetween, wherein the anchor plate includes in a first embodiment a slide block mounted within a slot within the anchor plate, and the slide block hingedly mounting a mounting leg, including a flange for abutment with a forward surface of the cabinet for positioning the cabinet during a mounting procedure. A modification of the invention includes a generally serpentine securement leg slidably mounted within a channel defined by an anchor plate structure, wherein the securement leg includes a plurality of spaced abutments arranged in a parallel relationship to provide for positioning of the cabinet in communication with one of said abutments for positioning the cabinet during a mounting procedure. A modification of the securement leg includes abutment plunger rods reciprocatably mounted to at least one if not both of the abutment plates to enhance positioning and securement of the securement leg relative to the cabinet structure during mounting.
