ABSTRACT:
A universal adaptor for facilitating the mounting of appliances. The universal adaptor includes upper and lower bracket plates. Either the upper or lower plate may include a mounting connector for engaging a commercially available mounting system. Bracket arms with slots may be located and clamped between the plates. A location pin may be used to engage the plates and the bracket arms, while mounting pins may be used to connect the bracket arms to the appliance. The bracket arm slots permit the bracket arms to be adjustably moved toward or away from the adaptor, facilitating connection between the bracket arms and receptors on the appliance. The bracket arm slots also permit the position of the location pin to be adjusted relative to the center of gravity of the appliance to further facilitate mounting of the appliance. The spacing of the adaptor relative to the appliance may also be adjusted to facilitate the mounting of appliances having varying surface mount topographies. A method for using the universal adaptor of the present invention is also disclosed and claimed.
