ABSTRACT:
A mounting assembly for mounting a panel, such as a shutter, adjacent and in parallel, spaced relation to a window set into a window frame that has first and second opposing walls includes a biased mount and a fixed mount attached to the panel in opposing relation to one another. The biased mount has a body fixedly attached to a surface of the panel at about an edge thereof. A reciprocating biasing assembly is carried by the body and includes a shaft operably connected to the body by a biasing element. The shaft has a first engaging element mounted to an end thereof that is movable away from and toward a selected one of the first and second walls of the window frame. The biasing assembly biases the engaging element toward the selected wall. The fixed mount has a body fixedly attached to the surface of the panel in opposing, spaced relation to the biased mount. The fixed mount has a second engaging element operably mounted thereto for engaging the opposing wall of the window frame in a direction generally opposing the first engaging element. When the panel is positioned at the window frame with the biased and fixed mounts engaging opposing walls of the window frame, the panel is secured in place between the walls by the first and second engaging elements in contact with their respective walls and by a force exerted by the biasing element on the first engaging element.
