Abstract
A bracket having a base having a mounting plate with upstanding flanges on opposite sides. The flanges each include an upper notch and a lower notch oppositely located therefrom. The lower notches are adapted for receiving a second member. An adapter has a second mounting plate and upstanding flanges extending from opposite sides of the second mounting plate. The flanges carry the first and second members. The first member is biased laterally by a spring to a fully outward position. The first member is movable between the fully outward position and an inward position. The second member is fixed laterally with respect to the flanges on the adapter. The upper and lower notches are positioned so their respective openings are closer than the outermost portions of the first and second members when the first member is in its fully outward position.
