Abstract
A display apparatus mounting bracket, adapted for attachment to a crossbar, is provided generally having a U-shaped bracket having a front plate and a flange, the front plate adapted to mount display apparatus thereto, the flange having a top portion projecting away from the front plate and a rear portion disposed generally parallel to the face. The inner surfaces of the front plate and flange define an interior space for receiving the crossbar, and the downward ends of the front plate and rear portion of the flange define an entrance to the interior space. The structure of the rear portion of the flange provides a high load-bearing capacity of the mounting bracket. The entrance of the bracket provides a snap-fit with the crossbar providing a snug fitting interior space for receiving the crossbar, thereby safely and securely retaining the crossbar within the interior space when snapped into place.
