ABSTRACT:
An Article support system comprising: a mechanism defining at least one structural support elongated channel; a mechanism defining at least one support bracket with a pivotable end insertable into the channel; a mechanism defining a latch member for latching and unlatching the bracket into and out of locking frictional engagement with the channel; a mechanism for pivotably mounting the latch from the bracket in a longitudinal and latitudinal direction; a mechanism for locking the latch to the bracket in a stressed arrangement in the latching position; a fulcrum mechanism for transmitting a first latch stress to the bracket end in the latching position and an opposing latch stress distributed among the fulcrum, and discrete areas of the latch and the bracket, the mechanism constructed and arranged for applying primary frictional force between a bracket end inserted in the channel and an interior surface of the channel in the locked position and a secondary frictional force between the bracket and latch in the locked position as the latch and bracket go through relative pivotal movement about the pivot mechanism and relative lateral movement, the forces being maintained by the mechanism for locking.
