Publication number: 20240122390Abstract: A mounting bracket is provided for attachment to a mounting surface. The mounting bracket has a body having a first surface and an opposite second surface and a first end and a second end. The second surface is profiled to engage a mounting surface. The body defines a first mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface from the first surface to the second surface, the first mounting hole extending in part toward the second end as the first mounting hole extends from the first surface toward the second surface. The body defines a second mounting hole extending obliquely through the body relative to the second surface from the first surface to the second surface, the second mounting hole extending in part toward the first end as the first mounting hole extends from the first surface toward the second surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Jason Moss, Matthew Berman

Patent number: 11950722Abstract: There is provided a dual mount end cap system for mounting a rod. The dual mount end cap system includes both a threaded system and a fastener system. This enables end caps of the system to be pre-mounted using a fastener and also adjusted using the threaded system. The fastener can extend through the dual mount end cap system. Alternatively, the threaded system can be used without the fastener system. There also is provided a stop system to prevent a locking system for an adjustable rod system to prevent the locking system from becoming stuck.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: House of Atlas, LLCInventors: Jason Moss, Matthew Berman, Alan Arthur Ford

Publication number: 20240108159Abstract: A bracket for attachment to a structure is provided that includes a base having a supporting portion and a mounting portion extending at an angle to the supporting portion. The mounting portion defines one or more first mounting holes sized to receive a fastener for mounting the bracket to the structure and disposed at an oblique angle to the mounting portion. The base defines a gap having a width. The bracket includes a support arm extending from the base and through the gap of the base. The support arm has a width at an interconnection with the base that is less than the width of the of the gap such that a first portion of the base is on one side of the support arm and a second portion of the base is on an opposite side of the support arm. At least a portion of the one or more first mounting holes is located above a top of the support arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Jason Moss, Matthew Berman
