Patent number: 10451363Abstract: A bracket system includes a first bracket configured to couple a heat exchanger coil to a base of a heat exchanger via engagement of a mounting surface of the base, where the first bracket has a recessed member and a fastening tab, and a second bracket configured to couple the heat exchanger coil to a shroud of the heat exchanger via engagement of a fastener, where the second bracket has a protruding member and a protruding ridge. The recessed member is configured to receive the protruding member such that the first bracket and the second bracket are coupled to one another in a first configuration of the bracket system, and where the fastening tab is configured to receive the protruding ridge such that the first bracket and the second bracket are coupled to one another in a second configuration of the bracket system.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Robert L. Eskew, Frank D. Ashby, Tony M. Clark, Jeremiah M. Horn, Debra S. Yates, Cody J. Kaiser, Hung V. Tran, Dale Clair Kester, Stanley Robert Buisman, Bennie Hoyt
