ABSTRACT:
An adapter for increasing the frictional force generated by a spacer interposed between a pair of items. The spacer defining a pair of opposed load bearing surfaces and a pair of spacing surfaces. The adapter includes a relatively flat plate defining a pair of plate surfaces, a pair of opposed contacting edges and a pair of spacing edges. A fixing component is provided for fixing the plate to one of the spacing surfaces of the spacer. A set of friction increasing teeth extend from at least one of the contacting edges for increasing the friction coefficient of the contacting edge with an item. The plate is configured and sized so that the friction enhancing teeth protrude from one of the load bearing surfaces when the plate is mounted on the spacer. In one embodiment, the adapter also includes an auxiliary friction enhancing segment for enhancing the friction between the adapter and contacting items. The auxiliary friction enhancing segment includes an auxiliary section having a generally "L" shaped configuration and extending substantially perpendicularly from one of the contacting edges so that the adapter with its auxiliary section has a generally "U" shaped cross sectional configuration. The "L" shaped auxiliary section defines a first auxiliary segment extending substantially perpendicularly from one of the contacting edges. The first auxiliary segment is configured and sized so as to override one of the load bearing surfaces. The first auxiliary segment bends integrally and substantially perpendicularly into a second auxiliary segment. The second auxiliary segment defines a pair of second auxiliary segment contacting edges. At least one of the second auxiliary segment contacting edges is provided with corresponding friction teeth extending therefrom. In yet another embodiment, an abutment plate extends substantially perpendicularly from the first auxilliary segment.
