ABSTRACT:
A flexible guide rail support post comprises a support bracket for mounting to a frame element, a guide element secured to the support bracket, and an actuating member extending through the guide element and having a handle at one end and a guide rail clamp at the other end. A spring surrounds that portion of the actuating member between the handle and the guide element. The guide rail support is movable inwardly and outwardly via movement of the actuating member with respect to the guide element. The inner diameter of the guide element and the outer diameter of the actuating member are selected so that the actuating member and associated guide rail clamp is permitted to move in a range of directions. A spacer is provided for locking the actuating member in at least two fixed positions with respect to the guide element.
