The engaging posts equidistantly extend from the base portion, and each engaging post forms a circular neck. Each positioning post downwardly extends from the corresponding platform, and has a hollow body communicating with the receiving hole. A slot is formed in each positioning post. The positioning post has an upper portion defining a hole having a diameter larger than that defined by a lower portion of the positioning post. A subulate portion is formed at a bottom end of each positioning post for engaging with the circuit board.

Abstract: A vehicle auxiliary-lamp mounting assembly (10) consisting of a lamp-housing bracket (12) which has attached a resilient latch insert (50), and a lamp-housing mounting bracket (100) which incorporates a latch receptor (116). The lamp housing bracket (12) is adjustably attached to the sides of a vehicle auxiliary lamp (200), and the lamp-housing mounting bracket (100) is attached to a vehicle structure. When the resilient latch insert (50) is inserted into the latch receptor (116) the vehicle auxiliary lamp (200) is secured. Normally, a conventional vehicle lamp mounting assembly cannot be easily attached adjacent to a corner structure because there is insufficient space to insert and tighten a bolt or nut into the lamp mounting assembly. By utilizing the vehicle auxiliary-lamp mounting assembly (10) the problem of attaching and detaching a lamp assembly adjacent to a corner structure is solved.

Abstract: A post cap and accessory assembly for pilings. Continued development resulted in refinements for accessory mounting and security, and improved adaptability of the caps to varying piling diameters and non-piling applications. Single accessory mounts afford greater ability to satisfy individual accessory needs and combination brackets broadly increase the mountability of accessories. An extension bracket provides side and top mounting positions beyond the original positions. A special electrical design permits electrical accessories mounted to a grooved base and wired to its electrical contacts to repetitively engage and disengage mating contacts for power hookup provided within a winged pedestal base so that the electrical accessories attached to the grooved base may be quickly attached or removed as desired while leaving the winged pedestal permanently installed. Easily operated wire locks are provided on all accessory mounts and are instantly released by fingertip force.
