  • Assembly for adjustably mounting an accessory on a rail
    Patent number: 6227756
    Abstract: The mounting assembly is for adjustably mounting an accessory having a substantially planar portion onto a rail member having a longitudinal side channel with opposite longitudinal folds. The mounting assembly has an elongated latch member shaped for passage between the folds when the latch member is oriented substantially parallel to the channel, and for abutment against the folds when the latch member is turned at least partially transversely inside the channel. The mounting assembly has a tightening device for tightening the accessory to the latch member. A locking device is operatively associated with the planar portion of the accessory and the latch member to prevent relative rotation and translation thereof when the accessory is tighten to the latch member.
