Abstract
A mounting bracket assembly includes a mounting base and a plurality of arms extending down from the mounting base. A first arm of the plurality of arms includes a first pair of inwardly facing hooks coupled to the first arm and defining a first torsion spring receiver area. The first arm of the plurality of arms includes a first spring coil ramp disposed along a bottom end of the first arm and extending radially inward from the first arm at a first angle. A second arm of the plurality of arms includes a second pair of inwardly facing hooks coupled to the second arm and defining a second torsion spring receiver area. The second arm of the plurality of arms includes a second spring coil ramp disposed along a bottom end of the second arm and extending radially inward from the second arm at a second angle.
