Abstract
A bracket for attachment to a support for mounting a fixture, and method for installing the same are provided. The bracket includes a base having first and second sides. The bracket also includes first and second flanges extending from the first side of the base, the first and second flanges defining an elongate aperture therebetween. The elongate aperture further extends from the first side of the base towards the second side of the base. The elongate aperture is adapted to movably receive one end of the fixture so that the fixture may be mounted to, and demounted from, the bracket by sliding the end of the fixture at least partially along the length of the elongate aperture and wherein the first and second flanges are structured to contact the support to provide lateral support to the base and the fixture.
