ABSTRACT:
A method of attaching a support member formed with a hook member and a bendable tab member to a support post formed with a plurality of slots is disclosed and comprises the steps of engaging the hook member in a slot on the post member such that a portion of the hook member underlies the outer surface of the post member, rotating the support member so that the tab member is inserted in another slot on the post member and applying a bending force to the tab member to bend the tab member toward the hook member such that the tab member also underlies the outer surface of the post member. Simultaneous with applying the bending force a reaction surface is provided in the slot in which the hook member is engaged so that the bending force reacts through the reaction surface and the post member.
A tool usable in the above described method comprises a handle portion having an arcuate bending finger at one end and which is pivotally connected to a reaction finger having planar bearing surfaces. In use the reaction finger is placed in the slot in which the hook member is received and then the bending finger is inserted into the slot in which the tab member is received. Force is then applied to the handle portion which is applied to the tab member through the bending finger and which reacts through the reaction finger.
