Abstract
A telescoping support bracket for providing convenient installation of wall mounted speakers and the like comprises a body attachable to an architectural structure such as a wall or ceiling and a telescoping member slidably movable relative to the body to which a bezel may be attached. The bezel is configured to receive and attach the desired component. Movement of the telescoping member relative to the body provides depth adjustment to compensate for varying wall covering thickness such that a desired surface of the component may be mounted flush with the outside surface of the architectural structure. Thus, a speaker, for example, may be quickly mounted with the grill flush to the outside surface of a wall. The telescoping mount bracket of the present invention thereby eliminates the need to perform a custom installation wherein custom brackets and/or other fixtures must typically be fabricated.
