ABSTRACT:
A mounting system for a housing and method of mounting a housing is provided where the housing is to be mounted to a slotted member in a secure and rigid fashion without loosening over time, particularly when exposed to high vibration environments. The mounting system includes a mounting arm of the housing which is to be inserted through a first slot and then pivoted so that a finger projection on the arm pivots up into a second slot formed in the frame member. The spacing of the first and second slots and the length of the arm and position of the finger projection thereon are such that when the finger is pivoted into the second slot, a cam surface on the finger will engage and slide against at least one of the walls of the slot so as to bias the arm against the frame member in the slots. In this manner, the arm is preloaded against subsequent movement even when subject to intense vibrations or other loosening forces. Other bolt fastener(s) are contemplated for use in mounting the housing by way of mounting flange(s) provided on the housing spaced from the arm or arms at predetermined positions therearound.
